With just a few notes, she’s made some of the most effective men and women in America stop in their tracks to find her, and meet her. She possesses a rare talent that has talk show hosts, celebrities and audiences throughout the United States. Her name is JoJo.

In the outskirts of Boston JoJo grew up in a home filled with songs, since her mother was a church soloist (獨(dú)唱演員) and trained musical theater performer. JoJo’s first big break came when she went to an audition (試唱) for a kid’s show of CBS – TV. Her passion left the producers speechless and she was immediately given a spot to perform. Once JoJo hit the stage, Bill Cosby, the show’s host, asked her to sing a little something. JoJo’s Respect earned her an defeating response from the audience. A phone call from The Oprah Winfrey Show followed soon after, inviting the young girl to appear on the show. “When it came to performing, I just had no fear.” says JoJo.

All at once things began to happen. Calls from talk show producers and music festival organizers began to pour in. JoJo did them all. While appearing on the TV show, America’s Most Talented Kids, JoJo was noticed by a man in the audience who introduced her to Vincent Herbert, famed producer and owner of Da Family Entertainment. JoJo was signed to Da Family and offered two recording agreements before finding her perfect match with Barry Hankerson and his label (唱片公司) Blackground Records.

After being signed to Blackground, JoJo spent the next four months recording tracks for her self – titled appearance. The album showcases JoJo’s talent, not only as a singer, but as a songwriter as well. The final product is an album filled with assured, confident music tones that speak way beyond JoJo’s tender years. Her music strikes the perfect balance between attitude and innocence (純真) – which is exactly what JoJo is all about. (from February 2007 English salon)

Tomorrow was his girlfriend’s birthday and the young man was having a difficult time deciding on a present for her. She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them, so he couldn’t get any kind of apparel. She never ate sweets, so candy was out of the question. What then? He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift; tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her.
He finally decided on perfume(香水). All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer? He couldn’t ask her because that would ruin the surprise.
At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girlfriend’s fox terrier, a little dog for a walk, the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array (長(zhǎng)列) of perfume. He beckoned(招呼) a clerk, instructing her to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers under the dog’s nose.
Nestled in the young man’s arms, the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on. Then Fritz suddenly became frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as the clerk waved one stopper under its nose.
“I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the clerk. The price was high, but it was worth it, he thought.
“My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “How did you know?” she asked, dabbing some perfume behind each ear.
“Intuition(直覺(jué)), I guess.” said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrong to tell a lie under the circumstances. One day, after they were married, he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.
【小題1】Which of the following words best describes the young man in the story ?

A．Kind-heartedB．Curious
C．CreativeD．Mean
【小題2】The underlined word “frisky” in Paragraph 4 means ______.
A．livelyB．a(chǎn)ngry
C．uneasyD．puzzled
【小題3】According to the story, the birthday present for the girl was actually decided on by _____.
A．the young manB．the store clerkC．the man’s intuitionD．the dog Fritz
【小題4】Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE ?
A．The young man wanted to give his girlfriend a pleasant surprise.
B．The pet dog Fritz knew what the young man wanted very well.
C．The kind of perfume the young man chose was expensive.
D．The young man told a white lie about his final choice of the perfume.
