President Barack Obama was praised Friday as a worthy Nobel Peace Prize winner although many admirers said the award was based on his potential（潜力），not his accomplishments.
The youthful president is seen as having changed the stance（立场）of US. foreign policy，emphasizing the need for diplomacy，cooperation and mutual respect. But even Obama’s backers admit he cannot yet point to detailed changes brought about by his new measures.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa，who won the prize in 1984，said Obama’s award shows great things are expected from him in the coming years. “In a way，it’s an award coming near the beginning of the first term of office of a relatively young president that anticipates an even greater contribution towards making our world a safer place for all,” he said. “It is an award that speaks to the promise of President Obama’s message of hope.”
In the Kenyan city of Kisumu，the home province of Obama’s father, local radio shows interrupted broadcasting to have live phone-ins so callers could congratulate Obama on his win. Traders in the market gathered around hand-held radios and touts（卖票者）shouted the news from the windows of local minibuses. "When I heard it on the radio I said Hallelujah！” said 65-year-old James Andaro. “It’s God’s blessing. This win is for Africa.”
There was far less enthusiasm in countries where America’s foreign policy is resented．In the Gaza Strip(加沙地带），leaders of the radical Hamas movement said they had heard Obama’s speeches seeking better relations with the Islamic world but had not been moved. In Afghanistan，where U. S. forces are engaged in a war against Taliban insurgents，President Hamid Karzai praised the Nobel decision，but others seemed unimpressed. A spokesman for Karzai said,” he hopes the peace prize will ultimately（最终）lead to peace and stability in Afghanistan and our region.” But Kabul resident Abdul Rasoul disagreed. “The peace award which has been given to Barack Obama is not right because under Obama a lot of civilians have died here in the bombing,” he said. Other Afghans complained there has been no change in U. S. policy since Obama took over.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen.
For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing.
For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stunt girls too！
6. Stuntmen are those who __________.
A. often dress up as actors B. prefer to lead dangerous lives
C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions D. often fight each other for their lives
7. Stuntmen earn their living by __________.
A. playing their dirty tricks B. selling their special skills
C. jumping out of high windows D. jumping from fast moving trains
8. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.
A. he needs little protection B. he will be covered with a mattress
C. his life is endangered D. his safety is generally all right
9. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?
A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness.
10. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman. B. The cliff is too high.
C. The percentage of serious accidents is high. D. Parachutes must be of good quality.

Just three years since Lady Gaga had her first US number one single, the pop star has claimed the top spot in Forbes magazine’s annual Celebrity 100 list.
The popular star moved up four positions from last year and has knocked TV chat show host Oprah Winfrey of the top spot.
But how has the singer become such a global phenomenon in such a short space of time? Two experts in music, fashion and social networking give their opinions.
George Ergatoudis ----Head of Music Radio1
“ The key thing is Lady Gaga realized by using all the current social networking sites, and connecting that with her fashion, she has become an all-round star. Every time she goes out the door she looks different. She’s getting photographed, she’s aware of that and she’s using it by updating her look literally on a daily basis.
Another key thing was that quite early on, her record label was showing how gifted she is as a musician. The music she makes, the songs she writes and the production she has are all brilliant contemporary pop music. She literally is turning into a global superstar.”
Calum Brannan--Co-Founder of social Networking support Company crowd Control HQ
“Social media is a reflection (反映）of what we love, so people are becoming very good at sharing exactly what they love and the brands and musicians they love.
The fact she has 10 million Twitter followers and 30 million Facebook fans is a massive reflection on Lady Gaga and the influence she has. Once out there, Twitter and Facebook help keep that person’s profile (个人形象）alive. Her fans are always talking about her and sharing everything she does even when she’s not on stage or in concert.
I think even if she wasn’t on Facebook and Twitter, her fans and followers would put her there anyway. But the most important thing is, she is on there and she’s using them.”
11.What can be the best title for the text?
A. What is Lady Gaga’s life like ? B. What has Lady Gaga achieved ?
C. Why is Lady Gaga so popular ? D. Why is lady Gaga using Facebook ?
12.Both George Ergatoudis and Calum Brannan owe Lady Gaga’s success to ________.
A. hard work B. social media C. her faithful fans D. her music talents
13.The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph probably refers to _______.
A. photos B. videos C. fans and followers D. facebook and Twitter
14.What do we learn about Lady Gaga from the text?
A . She doesn’t write songs actually.
B. She began to sing three years ago.
C. She likes to take on a new look every day.
D. She has more fans on Twitter than on Facebook.
15.What can be inferred from the text?
