John Otway
John Otway has been playing music and making records in the UK for more than
40 years. Over the years he has released more than ten albums. He has played hundreds
of concerts. He has written two autobiographies. He has worked with some of the
country’s best musicians and he has even made a film about his life. But despite
all of this, most people have never heard of him.
Otway released his first record in 1972, but it was the Punk Movement a few years
later that really gave him his big chance. Otway wasn’t the greatest musician but
his songs were always fun, and his performances on stage were always entertaining
- there was a good chance he would fall off the stage at least once in each show.
The punks liked him, and in 1977 he had a small hit when his single Really Free made
it to No. 27 in the UK top 40 charts. Otway really enjoyed his success but
unfortunately, no more came. Not one of his records over the next 30 years was a
hit.
Although he never had much commercial success, Otway had a lot of very loyal
fans. When someone asked him what he would like for his 50th birthday, his reply was:
“A second hit.” His fans went out and bought as many copies of the new single Bunsen
Burner as they could. And in October 2002, Otway finally saw his wish come true.
In a chart that featured international superstars like Pink, Will Young and Oasis,
Bunsen Burner made it to No. 9. Many high street shops refused to sell the record,
saying that Otway was too old and unattractive for the teenage market. Otway didn’
t care. He celebrated his success with an appearance on TV’s biggest music show
Top of the Pops.
These days John Otway continues to play his music around the country, and there
are always plenty of people who are happy to go and watch him perform. He’s a great
example for anyone who loves making music. You don’t have to be young, good-looking
(or even very talented) to enjoy a long career in the music business.
29. From paragraph 1, we know that ________.
A. John Otway has released hundreds of albums
B. John Otway never worked with best musicians
C. John Otway has written hundreds of autobiographies
D. John Otway is not well-known in the UK as a musician
30. John Otway saw his wish come true when he released ________.
A. Really Free
C. Top of the Pops
B. Bunsen Burner
D. his first record
31. Why were some street shops unwilling to sell his single Bunsen Burner?
A. They thought it was terrible.
B. It wasn’t a very big hit.
C. John Otway didn’t want them to have it.
D. They thought teenagers would not like to buy it.
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Musicians have to be young and attractive.
B. Success isn’t important in our life.
C. We should be determined to do what we love.
D. Musicians do much better as they get older.
C
A dozen international coffee experts moved around a long wooden table, pausing
at each steaming cup, heads dipping,smelling and tasting. In the wings, coffee farmer
Yang Fan watches attentively as the judges’circle, awaiting a decision on her latest
crop of beans.
In recent years, China is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer.
This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu’er International Specialty Coffee
Expo in China’s southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more
than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados (酷爱者) from across the
globe.
“Coffee has huge potential in China,” says Liu Ying, who is working in private
investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu’er five years ago.“The younger generation
prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea.” Still, Pu’er remains
synonymous with tea. In a region of China known for thousands of years of tea growing,
a new crop is beginning to change the country’s landscape: coffee. This town near
the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it
produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu’er. But the region’s mild climate
is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China’s young people move away
from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Pu’er’s farmers are
catering to the demand. Yunnan accounts for 98% of China’s coffee harvest, with
half coming from the misty landscape around Pu’er. Today, China is the 13th biggest
coffee producer in the world - rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000
tons annually today.
In April, Seattle’s annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as
its portrait country of origin. It follows on the heels of Starbucks’ launching
its first single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership
with Yunnan farmers.
With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans
in bespoke (定制的) ways to create distinct flavors -allowing them to enter the
market of specialty coffee. “At current coffee prices, I can’t even feed my family,”
says the farmer Yang. “My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the
best coffee beans.” That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing
a wild, fruity flavor, or allowing them to “honey” in their sugary inner layer,
which adds a slight sweetness.
“If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with
me,” says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu’er’s Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into
a laughter. “It’s a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving.”
33. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Coffee gains ground in China’s tea-growing heartland
B. Coffee is taking the place of Pu’er tea in Yunnan province.
C. Bespoke coffee in Ynnnan has a variety of flavors.
D. China has become a top coffee producer in the world.
34. People grow coffee in Pu’er because ________.
A. they have the tradition to plant coffee
B. Starbuck needs coffee from Yunnan province
C. coffee planted there has a special flavor
D. they think coffee has great potential in China
35. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean?
A. Pu’er cannot produce coffee.
B. Coffee enjoys a good reputation.
