Sydni Bennett didn?t want to be like anyone else when she was a little girl. Her friends would often compare her to Misty Copeland, a famous American ballet dancer. She didn?t want to hear that. Instead, she would live by the words, “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”
The 16-year-old, who is now a coach at a dance studio, has the confidence of a wise woman.
Bennett recently made history as the first African-American to be crowned (加冕) Miss Illinois Teen USA, 34 years after it first started.
“I wasn?t expecting it. My reaction video isn?t that good because I didn?t know what to do.” Before the pageant (选美比赛), Bennett was aware that a black girl had never won.

Bennett said her life experiences have been preparing her for the big day all along. “I think many girls

Shanghai is a poor place for astronomy fans. The bright city lights make it almost impossible for them to see stars in the night sky. Instead, the stars they are more likely to watch are the ones that appear on TV screens and in movie theaters. And it?s these stars that one government office wishes to see dimmed (变暗淡).
·3·
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) has issued new rules that would limit the amount of money paid to China?s biggest stars. According to SARFT, the biggest salaries that stars demand mean that others involved in producing movies and TV series, such as the rest of the cast members, directors, scriptwriters and technicians, are paid less. Therefore, the overall quality of these productions suffers.
While these salaries may seem sky-high to SARFT, they accurately reflect the market — the law of supply and demand. And show business, after all, is a business. So, in order to ensure the success of a film or a movie, producers want someone who can “open a picture” - a star whose name and reputation will guarantee a big audience.
By limiting stars salaries and dimming their glitter, SARFT thinks that producers will spread the money around to the rest of the crew and spend more on “production values” - sets, costumes and special effects. Maybe. But not necessarily. Limiting stars? salaries would probably just mean more money for the producers. A better solution might be to give stars a smaller salary and a percentage of the profits as well, making them business partners. This is quite common in Hollywood and sometimes results in stars making much more money.
8. What?s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the real topic of thetext. B. To expose light pollution in Shanghai.
C. To show there are many famousstars in Shanghai. D.To prove Shanghai is not suitable for astronomy lovers. 9 Why has SARFT issued rules to limit stars? salaries? A. To attract the audience. B. To guarantee social equality.
C. To ensure the quality of the productions. D. To make sure the market can operate smoothly.
10. What?s the author?s advice on dealing with stars? sky-high salaries? A. Nothing should be done in the market economy. B. SARFT should improve rules to limit stars? salaries.
