Street art is a very popular form of art that is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on building, sidewalks, street sings and trash cans from Tokyo to Paris, and from Moscow to Cape Town. Street art has become a global culture and even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists. Even advertising companies also use street art in their ads due to its popularity.
Street art started out very secretly because it’s illegal to paint on public and private property without permission. People often have different opinions about street art. Some people think it is a crime with others think it’s a new form of culture.
Art experts claim that the movement began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults sprayed words and images on walls and trains. This colorful and energetic style of writing became known as graffiti(涂鴉). Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel against society. They didn’t want to accept rules, and they travelled around cities to create paintings that everyone could see. In many cases, they had trouble with the police and the local government.
Many street corners in Paris show the works of Space Invader. A French artist uses small pieces of glass to make images of space creatures. He has been doing this for some years and the police have arrested him a few times. On his website, you can see many other places where he has created this form of art.
Street artists do their work for some reasons. Some of them do not like the artists who make so much money in galleries and museums. They choose street art because it is closer to common people. Some artists try to express their political opinion in their works. They often want to protest against big firms and corporations. Others like to do things that are forbidden and hope they don't get caught.
In today’s world, the Internet has a big influence on street art. Artists can show their pictures to people all over the world. Many city residents, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it alive. The street art movement lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.
1.What may be the best title for the text?

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ______.
A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
2.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. it takes a lot of time to succeed D. one gives up his work easily
3.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
B. Successful people like to show their great skills.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
4.What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.

A recent study surveyed 5,000 British families about their experiences with volunteering and their mental health. Participants completed the same survey every two years from 1996 to 2008.
About 20 percent of the survey participants reported doing regular unpaid work Researchers found that these volunteers also scored highest on their mental health scores.The two were linked so directly that the more a person volunteered,the happier they were.
One could argue a chicken-and-egg theory: happier people are more likely to have the time,money,energy and resources to give back to others.But even when researchers adjusted for education,social class and total health,the link was there,suggesting that the mental increase came from volunteering and not the other way around.
According to Dr.Stephen G.Post,author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping,when you help others,your brain releases feel-good chemicals,which can help cells repair themselves and grow.And this translates to better health.
So volunteering can help improve both your physical and mental health—on one condition.You have to mean it. People who volunteered for "self-oriental" reasons,either because they were forced to do so for work or school or because they were trying to get away from problems in their lives,had a mortality(死亡率)risk that was similar to those who didn't volunteer at all.It was only when people were volunteering out of a true sense of sympathy that they saw any health benefits.
So whether it's arranging books at the library or walking dogs at the animal shelter,find a cause that's important to you and give it a try.Volunteering is a good way to develop a sense of connection that not only helps your community,but may also be good for you.
1.Who are healthier according to the study?
A. people who are happier.
B. people who are good at taking exams.
C. people that work as volunteers regularly.
D. people that make a large amount of money.
2.Why does the author mention the chick-and-egg theory?
A. To introduce a world-famous theory.
B. To point out that volunteering came first.
C. To prove happy ones would like to help others.
D. To tell us that the cause and the effect are mixed.
3.What may be one of the "self-oriented" reasons?
A. You try your best to solve others' problems.
B. You are filled with pity for the foster kids.
C. You have the duty to look after the old.
D. You're always willing to help others.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. A chicken-and-egg theory.
B. Happiness has a lot to do with health.
C. A sense of connection is important to us.
D. Volunteering willingly is good for health.

A 15-year-old boy planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his mouth and set it on fire. He would film the dangerous action and put it on YouTube. And, lie hoped to become famous on the Internet. But things didn’t go the way he imagined. His clothing caught fire, and he was rushed to the hospital with serious bums on his body.
YouTube hosts millions of videos of people attempting dangerous actions. Many of them are by kids and young adults. Some experts say that by hosting these videos, YouTube encourages young viewers to take deadly risks. Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than 180,000 Americans die from accidental injuries each year. That’s one person every three minutes. More than 14,000 of those killed are kids under the age of 19. Is YouTube to blame?
People have always found it interesting to watch others try risky things. Audiences love these kinds of things. Some of the earliest Greek comedies had characters followed by wild animals and knocking into walls. Now, in the age of the Internet, anyone with a camera and a YouTube account can create this kind of “fun”. Many viewers, especially teenagers, are influenced by what they see and want to try it themselves. “YouTube has taken the playing in the neighborhood to a worldwide level,” says Clair Mellenthin, a researcher from the Centers.
Supporters of YouTube argue that it isn’t YouTube’s responsibility to examine its content. “Parents should be the ones to make sure that kids are behaving safely,” they say. In fact, YouTube has a rule on content. For example, dangerous activities that have a risk of serious physical harm or death are not allowed. Staff of YouTube, carefully watch the website 24 hours a day, looking for videos that are against their rules. But is this enough?
