24、   Twenty-five years ago, most young people in Britain wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company(电子通信公司), the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger( 视频博主), or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put “vlogger” as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.

This change is undoubtedly the result of the Internet and social media(社交媒体). They have made it so much easier to reach audiences worldwide, without having to choose the job as actors in the traditional way.

“In years gone by, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood Studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an icon,” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said. “Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(互动) with their fans about everyday life.”

However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful can achieve fame and wealth. For every success there are a hundred others who have  never been known.

This is why although vloggers are in fashion now, some young people chose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.

【1】Which of the following is NOT an easy way of being known by others according to the passage?

A.To be an actor. B.To be a vlogger. C.To be a doctor.

【2】Some young people choose jobs that don’t earn them fame because________.

A.they know success never comes easily

B.they believe being vloggers is their first choice

C.they are not confident

【3】Why are vloggers the big stars of today?

A.Because they are normal people interacting with their fans about big events.

B.Because they are common people communicating with their fans about daily life.

C.Because they never interact with their fans.

【4】What does the underlined word “icon” in this passage mean?

A.偶像 B.图标 C.肖像

【5】From the story, we learn that________.

A.Internet can never be made good use of

B.most young people in Britain today wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, to take up singing

C.only those vloggers who get success can be famous and wealthy

27、   Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few knowhow to find happiness. Money and success don't bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.

Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high place in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money.

People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.

The secret of happiness is also to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Besides, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people.
