　　(2011·成都二診)

　　Do you know

　　who Stefani Germanotta is? Perhaps not, but you'll almost certainly know the the star called Lady Gaga, who has been gaining wild popularity. The 24-year-old American, famous for her cutting edge pop videos and strange fashion sense, was the biggest winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid on November 7, 2010. Her awards included the best female artist and the best song.

　　Her popularity doesn't end there. The BBC reports that the University of South Carolina has a sociology course about the life, work and rise to fame of Lady Gaga. The course is due to start in spring 2011. “We're going to look at Lady Gaga as a social event，” said Professor Mathieu, who will teach Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame.

　　Germanotta, in fact, is a college dropout. She learned to play the piano by age 4. At age 17, she was one of the only 20 young people to get early admission to New York university's Tisch School of the Arts, the famous music school. Yet after her second semester, she took a big risk—she decided to quit and concentrate on a music career. But how did she manage to go from nowhere to a super star in just two years?

　　She may well have had a plan for the top. She created “The Ultimate Pop Burlesque Show” with another artist. It was the first of many strange images. The pair gained enough attention to get a spot at a famous music festival in Chicago. Later, a record company signed Germanotta.

　　While Lady Gaga enjoys popularity, there are critics accusing her of regularly using rude language in her lyrics (歌詞) and wearing overly sexy clothing.

　　本文講述了Lady Gaga的藝術生涯和成就，她在馬德里MTV歐洲音樂頒獎典禮上是最大的贏家，包攬了最佳女藝人獎和最佳歌曲獎。

　　C．c-d-a-e-b-f

　　(2011·煙臺二診)

　　An online post listing office people's four most hated modern inventions is gaining popularity. Read on to discover what modern professionals dislike.

　　Number one: The punch (打卡) machine.

　　32-year-old Mr. Zhang works for an IT company. He lists the punch matchine as his number one workday enemy after a number of unavoidable incidents made him late to punch in for work. Zhang says most of his colleagues are hardworking people, but they feel like the boss doesn't trust them when he uses a machine to evaluate their performance. Zhang plans to find another job at a company that does not use a punch machine.

　　Number two: Instant noodles.

　　More and more people today realize that instant noodles do not make a healthy meal, but lack of time forces many white-collar workers to eat them instead of a regular dinner. 27-year-old Mr. Zhu is a salesperson who is so busy at work that he doesn't even have time to wash his socks. He regularly eats fast food takeaways or instant noodles for dinner.

　　Number three: Mattresses.

　　Some elder employees tell newcomers that having a mattress at work is just like having a home at the company. To encourage their employees to work overtime, a number of companies have issued their employees with mattresses so that they can take a rest under their desks at any time of a day. People have started refusing the mattress and taking better care of their health after the media reported on a number of people who died due to overwork last year.

　　And last, but not least, the mobile phone.

　　A surgeon from a Beijing hospital says more and more white-collar workers are turning up with a strange disease which they call “mobile phone elbow”. The patients' elbows are painful, and sometimes they can't even raise their hands. The doctor says the disease occurs when patients spend more than 4 hours on their mobiles.
