One morning a man went hunting（打猎）with his favorite hawk （鹰）on his shoulder. When the hawk heard his order, it would fly high up into the sky and look for rabbits or deer.

It was getting dark. The man was ready to go home. He got very thirsty to find some water, but the hot days of summer had dried up all the mountain streams. His hawk left his shoulder and flew away. It must find its way home.

Finally the man saw some water dropping from the edge of a rock. He took a cup from his bag and held it to catch the water drops. It took a long time to fill the cup. He was so thirsty that he could hardly wait. When it was half full, he raised the cup towards his mouth to drink it.

Suddenly, the cup was knocked down from his hand and all the water tipped （倾倒）out of it. The man looked up to see who had done it. It was his hawk. He was so angry that he killed it. Then he rode on.

If you go to an American middle school on Wednesday morning, you will hear kids talking about the American idol(美国偶像)show from the night before. Some have called it the most influential show in the history of television.

American Idol has been extremely successful in the country since 2002. The show was number one for six years! The most popular episode（剧集）had nearly 38 million viewers. But why is the show so popular?

The idea of the show is this: everyday people get a chance to show their singing talents to the world and become an “American Idol”, a famous pop star. Anyone in the country(between the ages of 15 and 28) can have a try—a chance of becoming world famous.

In fact, everyday people are the ones who are allowed on the show. If you are a professional singer—you cannot be an American Idol. The winners are regular people from small towns—people who sang in churches or bars but had bigger dreams.

The winners of the contest don’t get a prize of money. Instead, they get to record an album. Famous stars such as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood gained fame(获得名声) from winning the show. So, it seems the contest really works.

It is the idea that anyone can be a super star that draws people to this program. All those hours of practicing in front of the mirror could lead to fame and fortune（财富）.Even you could be the next “American Idol”.

( )51.On Wednesday morning, US middle school kids often ____________.

A. play ball games to keep fit B. watch the American Idol show

C. talk about TV shows D. perform on TV shows

C. The chance to record an album D. The dream of becoming a professional

C. What America’s most successful show is. D. How the American Idol show creates pop stars.
