They have become a part of our culture. Take a look at some interesting things about monkeys. New stamps for the year The China Post has designed special stamps for the Monkey year. They have two styles. On the first one, a monkey hangs on a branch. This means giving luck to people. On the other stamp, there is a happy monkey family. A monkey mother holds two monkey babies in her arms. It shows the reunion of the families. The monkey stamps were on sale since Jan 5th. Monkey Show In China, there is an ancient drama called Monkey Show. It tells the story of Monkey King. When actors perform, they will paint ―monkey face‖ with colorful pigments(颜料) on their faces.

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Half the students sneered. The rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. ―Don’t be silly, only geniuses can become writers,‖ the English teacher said, ―And you are getting a D this semester.‖ I was so humiliated(羞辱) that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri’s Weekly newspaper. To my surprise, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed it to my teacher and classmates. They laughed. ―just pain dumb luck,‖ the teacher said. I had tasted success. I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was “just pain dumb luck”, that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes(食谱). By the time I graduated from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks（剪贴簿） filled with my published work. I never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months, just like a baby.
A month later, Crying Wind, the title of my book, became a best seller, and was translated into fifteen languages as well as sold worldwide. I appeared on TV talk shows. I traveled from New York to California and Canada to make the public known about my book. My first book also became required reading in native American schools in Canada.
People ask about my secret to being a successful writer, but the answer is: ―None.‖ I just write. I’m not a genius. I’m not gifted. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: ―Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them. Writing isn't difficult, it's fun, and anyone can write a book if they set their mind on it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesn't hurt.‖
21. Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said? A. Because they didn’t like him
B. Because they wished he could be successful as a writer C. Because their teacher laughed, too

22. When the writer graduated from high school, ___________. A. he had become a famous writer B. he had made progress in his studies.
C. his classmates and teachers changed their attitudes towards him D. he decided he wouldn’t become a writer
23. What prevented him telling others about his writing? A. The characters in his story. B. His teacher. C. His early experience. D. His parents. 24. What can we infer from the passage?
A. It is difficult for a person, who cares about what others say to succeed. B. It is important for a person to tell others what he wants to do.
C. It is necessary for a person, who wants to succeed, to take others’ advice. D. It is impossible for an ordinary person to be a writer in the future. 25. Which of the following is the best title? A. A famous writer B. I Hate My Classmates and Teachers C. Stick to your dream D. A Genius Can Be a Writer
C.
People are being attracted by Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data（资料） to advertisers that want to send targeted (目标的)messages.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default（默认）, to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a ―less satisfying experience.‖
Some critics(批评家) think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue(隐私问题)has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for soc ial-networking sites. ―I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,‖ Schrage admits.
I suspect(怀疑) that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯）our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering deactivating（撤销） my account(账号). Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.
