"It Started with a Kiss."
Although thousands of girls have fallen in love with him for his cute smile and strong body, Cheng, 27,
doesn"t want to rest on his good looks. He made the move from modeling to acting six years ago, and now he
is trying another career－this time, to be a singer. Cheng worked on his first album,"Joe Cheng"s Day", for a
year. It came out on September 7.
Apart from recording his CD, Cheng has been practicing dance moves for his music video. Given his height, 188cm, this was not an easy job."I had bad dreams about dancing," he said.
Cheng"s life has had many ups and downs. His parents divorced when he was in primary school and he has
lived with his father ever since. After dropping out of high school, he took on all kinds of jobs before being
spotted by a scout(星探)for a modeling agency. Cheng said his key to life is"keeping a positive outlook and
making the most out of life."
Cheng admitted that he got bad grades when he was in high school. But he was still very popular at
school."Being very active in the students union, I was elected president. I liked to organize parties and field
trips, so many teachers and students knew me," he said.
Cheng once dreamed of becoming a cartoonist, and he regrets that he never did it. Now he hopes his
teenage fans can learn from his life."When you are in school, just focus on studies," Cheng said. "Every young
heart is eager to explore the world outside. But take your time. Finish your studies first."

| Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no health insurance. After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar , and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources. Jason Swencki"s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children"s forums (论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through, so he doesn"t feel alone." Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages. These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people-225 to date-who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean. Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members.

| Booker T. Washington was born in a black slave family in Virginia of the USA in 1856, seven years before slavery was abolished (废除) by Abraham Lincoln in January, 1863. He wrote a book about his life called Up From Slavery, which was published in 1901. In the book, he said that he had no choice but to work in a coal mine when he was 16 years old. He had no chance to go to school. He heard two coal miners talking about a school for black children which was called the Hampton Institute. He determined that he would go there. He gave up his job and told other members of his race that he was going to school across the state. The older people had spent their best years as slaves and were poor. However, some gave Booker some pocket money or a handkerchief. Hardly had anyone expected any of their race to leave home to attend a boarding school. He took a train to Richmond, Virginia, where he ran out of money. It was 82 miles from the Hampton Institute. He slept under a wooden sidewalk(人行道). He helped unload pigs and iron from a ship for some money and when he had enough, he continued his journey, arriving at school with 50 cents.

When he was 25 years old, he was asked to start a new school for black children in Alabama. called the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute.

| Jean-Francois Millet (October 4,1814-January 20, 1875) was a French painter and one of the founder of the Barbizon School in rural France. Born of a peasant family, Millet was encouraged by his father to study art in Cherbourg, France. He can be categorized as part of the movement called "naturalism"(自然主义). His understanding of the peasant" hard life was perfectly expressed in his choice of subject and natural preference for powerful but simple drawing and coloring. One of the most well-known of Millet"s paintings, The Gleaners(《拾穗者》),first came in a vertical composition (垂直式构图) painted in 1854,and then there came the horizontal version in 1856, which is now preserved in the Musee d"Orsay. It depicts women bending over in the fields to collect the leftover"s from the harvest, and it is a monumental composition devoted to the working class. Previously, servants were depicted in paintings as obedient to a noble or a king, and picking up what was left of the harvest was regarded as one of the lowest jobs in Millet;s times. However, Millet offered these women as the heroic focus of the picture. Besides, in the painting, light lights up the women"s shoulders as they carry out their work. Behind them, the field that stretches into the distance is bathed in golden light, under a wide , magnificent sky. The forms of the three figures, standing against the lighter field, show balance and harmony. |

| A. was born in rural France B. belongs to neither naturalism nor realism C. became famous for his love of the countryside D. received his high school education in Barbizon |

| A. it is originally a horizontal composition B. it is based on the effort of Musee d"Orsay C. it presents women in the field as the chief focus D. it shows how women are stopped from working in the field |
