Express yourself, Glee style (P3)

I. Pre-reading: Background knowledge

What is “Glee”?

The Wall Street Journal described this TV drama as “High School Musical meets Gossip Girl”.
Set in a fictional (虚构的) high school in Ohio, it follows an optimistic teacher, Will Schuester, who attempts to save the school’s glee club (合唱团) from disbanding (解散) and helps a group of aspiring (有抱负的) students realize their star potential.
Will’s hope lies with two members with true talent: Rachel Berry, a self-proclaimed (自称) star who is convinced that MySpace is one of her tickets to fame. The second is Finn Hudson, the popular soccer player with movie-star looks but no goal in life.
Will is determined to do whatever it takes to make the group great again. Everyone else thinks he’s mad, but Will is determined to prove them wrong.

Listen to the song “Don’t stop believing” and watch the video for a sense of what Glee is all about.

A. To introduce Callahan’s solo voyage across the Atlantic.

B. To encourage readers to take on risks like Callahan.

B. studying history makes a person appreciate their own fortunate situation

D. a person will be unable to keep going unless they realize how fortunate they are

1. D。本文作者通过介绍Steven Callahan的逆境求生的故事，告诉我们在没有希望的情况下，学习他如何保持信念，走出困境，所以答案为D。

2. C。由文章可知Callahan在获救希望渺茫的情况下没有失去信心和希望，创造性地利用各种办法来生存，所以C项正确。由第一段可知Callahan是在帆船出事的76天后被救的，所以A选项不对；由第三段最后一句话可知他的救生衣被刺破了，一直无法修复将他折腾得筋疲力尽，故B项不对；由第一段His supplies were few可知D项不正确。

3. A。由第五段“I tell myself I can handle it”可知A项正确。

4. C。最后一段 “words that can give us strength” 指的就是后面提到的“Whatever you’re going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Compared to what others have been through, you’re fortunate…. It’s a wise thought and worth thinking.”所以身处不幸时，告诉自己一定能够挺过去，同时想想比自己更不幸的人，这种幸福感会增加你面对困难的勇气与信心，所以C项正确。根据第四段Many people in similarly desperate circumstances give in or go mad. 可知作者认为大多数人在绝望的情况下很难坚持下来，所以A项（鼓励人利用绝境来磨练、挑战自己）并不是文章的本意。
