A gentleman put an advertisement in a newspaper for a boy to work in his office. Out of the nearly fifty men who come to apply, the man selected one and dismissed the others.
“I should like to know,” said a friend, “the reason you preferred that boy, who brought not a single letter—not a recommendation (介紹信)，”
“You are wrong” said the gentleman. He had a great man. He wiped his feet at the door and closed the door after him, indicating that he was careful. He gave his seat immediately to that old man, showing that he was kind and thoughtful. He took off his cap when he came in and answered my questions, showing that he was polite and gentlemanly.
“ All the rest stepped over the book which I had purposely put on the floor.” He picked it up and placed it on the table; and he waited quietly for his turn instead of pushing and crowding.
When I asked to him, I noticed his tidy clothing, his neatly brushed hair, and his clean fingernails. “ Can’t you see that these things are excellent recommendations? I consider them more significant than letters.”

Time: April 8th, 2010 at 10 PM To April 9th, 2010 at 3 AM
Location: Babyface Guangzhou
Street: No.83 Changdi Da Ma Road, Guangzhou
City/Town: Guangzhou
Website or Map: http://www.babyface.com.cn
Phone: 020-8335 5771
Organized By: Babyface China Official
Grammy nominated (格萊美獎(jiǎng)提名)artist and globally admired DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to lead the electronic music charts and appears at the highpoint of every Top DJ list across the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, is currently ranked the World’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll” for the second successive year.
PvD is well-known as one of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally.
Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music—he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990’s Paul van Dyk was performing regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it was the release of his second album Seven Ways that put him into Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single “For An Angel,” which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time. His first mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003—a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world.
小題1:What activity does this passage introduce to us?
A．Paul van Dyk Volume World Tour at Babyface Guangzhou.
B．Grammy Prize Ceremony at Babyface Guangzhou.
C．Release of PvD’s original album Reflections.
D．The foundation of Babyface China Official.
小題2: Which album first made PvD into the Top 100?
A．For An Angel. B．Seven Ways. C．45 RPM. D．Out There & Back.
小題3:According to the passage PvD can be best described as _______.
A．intelligent but proudB．hardworking but absent-minded
C．optimistic and outgoing D．creative and potential
小題4:PvD’s passion for music originated from _______.
A．performing at various clubsB．listening to the radio
C．his tours across the globeD．his true club culture
小題5: According to the passage, PvD _______.
A．is ranked the world’s No.1 DJ in Top 100 DJs Poll for life
B．shows us his travelling experience in Global
C．sings about politics in his mix CD PoliticsofDancing
