Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.6What is soap opera? _C_A：Plays based on science fiction stories.B：Plays based on non-fiction stories.C：The daytime serial dramas on TV.D：Popular documentary films on TV.7What can be the best title of the passage? _C_A：College student viewers.B：Favorite TV serials.C：Soap opera fans.D：College-age viewers.8Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among American young people ? _D_A：Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B：Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.C：Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.D：Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.9What can we learn from the passage? _C_A：College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B：Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today. C：young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D：The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.10What message does the author want to convey to us? _B_A：The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.B：The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times.C：The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.D：The people's favorites have changed the drama works.Passage TwoMartin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial.
