It never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the
complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends( 老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.
Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.
It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a
success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows,
thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success
of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the
TV theme song would stay.
Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US
situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine
latter-day social phenomenon.
24. What is stressed in the second paragraph?
A. The role models of Friends.
B. The popularity of Friends.
C. The origin of Friends.
D. The brilliance of Friends.
25. Which of the following is TRUE about Friends?
A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.
B. It is about friendship between college students.
C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.
D. It first came into being in the 1990s.
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends.
B. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane.
C. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro.
D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success.
27. What might the author think of Friends?
A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings.
B. He/she shows great affection towards it.
C. Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies.
D. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success.
C

Would you rather be an impressive employee in an ordinary firm, or land a role at the most well-known company in your industry?
The answer to that question might seem highly personal, based on factors like whether or not you are a competitive person and how much you enjoy a challenge. In fact, there’s another strong factor at play: People from different cultures react very differently to that question. The psychologists from the University of Michigan asked people theoretical questions about the decisions they take. Specifically, the researchers compared people with East Asian backgrounds and European American backgrounds. They found that Americans are much more likely to favor being a big fish in a small pond. East Asians, and specifically Chinese people, are much more likely than Americans to lean towards being a smaller fish in a bigger pond.
Researchers first asked 270 students at a large American university whether they would rather be a “b ig fish in a small pond” or the opposite. Of the students with East Asian American backgrounds, three quarters said they’d rather be a small fish, compared with just under 60% of students with European American backgrounds who said the same.
The researchers then compared American and Chinese adults. They asked the participants whether they would rather attend a top university but perform below average, and whether they would rather work for a top global company but do less well in comparison to their peers. Over half the Chinese adults chose the famous university, compared with just a third of Americans. In the case of the firms, well over half of people from both groups chose to do better at a less well-known firm, but Chinese people were still more likely to choose being a “small fish”than were Americans.
The final experiment sought to discover how American and Chinese people made judgments about whether they were succeeding. They found that Chinese people were more likely to compare their performance to the performance of people in other groups. Americans, meanwhile, were more likely to compare themselves to people within the same group, to judge whether or not they were doing well.
In East Asian cultures, it’s “no t enough that you know you’re doing well in your school,” said Kaidi Wu, a PhD student in psychology who led the research. “It is much more important that other people—an outsider, a family relative, a future employer who has five seconds to glance through your resume—also recognize your academic excellence.”
America is the opposite: “Think about how many times themes like ‘You are your own person’ or ‘Stop worrying about what other people think’ course through song lyrics and self-help books,” Wu said, concluding: “The choices we make are the products of our culture.”
32. The psychologists from the University of Michigan find that .
A. Americans tend to achieve success in a big company
B. Chinese are likely to perform better in a big company
C. Americans prefer to shine in a relatively small company
D. Chinese are comfortable with working in a small company
33. The final experiment aims to .
A. compare different attitudes towards competition
B. find different views about personal success
C. judge performances of different groups
D. confirm which culture is better
34. A Chinese student will be more satisfied if he gains recognition from .
A. his neighbors
B. his classmates
C. his teachers
D. his parents
35. According to Kaidi Wu, culture .
A. plays a key role in people’s choice making
B. shows who we grow up to be in the future
C. is the most important factor behind success
D. determines students’academic performance

1.36
Different people may interpret “succe ss” in different ways：some of them measure it in money, other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world in general. 37 Don’t worry about what other people think but come after what makes you happy.
2.Do not believe anything without questioning it.

3.Do not worry about all unpredictable things that may happen to you.

4.Do not care about what other people think of you.
40 Your attempts to become “good”for everyone will turn into nothing but new worries, stresses, and problems. Successful people do not concentrate on the quantity of people to please, but worry about their quality and focus on developing friendships with people they really care about.

【Possible version】
Dear Editor-in-Chief,
Congratulations on the 5th anniversary of Global Mirror!
I’m a regular reader of your newspaper. I like it so much that I hardly miss any copy.
There are many advantages of Global Mirror. Firstly, Global Mirror covers both national and international news. By simply turning the pages, I can know all important things that have happened both home and abroad. Besides, the success stories of world-famous people are also attractive to me, which help me learn a lot from them. In a word, thanks to Global Mirror, we are well-informed and keep up with the changing world.
As a young student, I wish that I can be a master of English language. Therefore, I suggest that Global Mirror provide articles about English learning for us.
Finally, I hope that Global Mirror will become more and more popular. Thank you for your time!
Yours,
Li Hua。
