Angela Chang (張韶涵) didn’t know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career (事業(yè)). She went to many different record companies. But she was always turned down for looking too young and small.
“I’d never had such difficulties before,” Chang said. But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002. When she got a piece of work, she cried.
She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well. She won many awards.
“You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,” said one musician after hearing Chang sing. “She has a special voice. You can’t forget it.”
But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay. Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays. But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired (解雇). Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene (一場戲) right.
“I cried when I got back home,” Chang said. “But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail. You only fail when you give up.”
Now with four albums behind her - Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song, “I have a pair of invisible wings (隱形的翅膀). They fly me to the skies and give me hope.”
【小題1】The phrase “turned down” in the first paragraph means “______”.

A．承認B．拒絕C．開除D．雇用
【小題2】 Many record companies refused to co-operate (合作) with her because ______.
A．she looks very commonB．she is too young
C．she doesn’t sing very wellD．she looks young and small
【小題3】 Although acting is difficult for her, she never gives up because ______.
A．she is strong-mindedB．people like her films
C．she is interested in actingD．she acted in the popular TV plays
【小題4】Which do you think is the best title of the passage?
A．The Small Girl.B．Four Albums.
C．I have a Pair of Invisible Wings.D．A Poor Actress.


【小題1】B
【小題1】D
【小題1】A
【小題1】C

解析【小題1】根據(jù)第一段的段意可知，因為看上去太年輕，太小，很多公司拒絕了張韶涵。故選B。
【小題1】根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，選D。故選D。
【小題1】根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail. You only fail when you give up.”可知，張韶涵是一個堅強的人。故選A。
【小題1】根據(jù)最后一段用張韶涵的一句歌詞來結(jié)尾，故標題C最合適。故選C。
