Edwin Powell Hubble was born in 1889 in Marshfield，Missouri. He spent his early years in the state of Kentucky. Then he moved with his family to Chicago, in Louisville. He attended the University of Chicago. He studied mathematics and astronomy. Hubble was a good student. He was a good athlete, too. He was a member of the University of Chicago championship basketball team in 1909.He was also an excellent boxer. Several people urged him to train for the world heavyweight boxing championship after college. Instead，he decided to continue his studies. He went to Queen's College at Oxford, England.
At Oxford，Hubble studied law. He was interested in British Common Law，because his family had come to America from England many years before. He spent three years at Oxford.

Ever since it was created 30 years ago, The Simpsons, the longest running primetime (黄金时段) TV show in the country, has become part of US life. So when TV critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked the 100 greatest comedies and dramas broadcast in the US, it came as no surprise that The Simpsons was their top choice.
This was the show that changed the concept of cartoons in Western society. Before it appeared, cartoons were considered a way to learn and have fun, not serious adult entertainment. The Simpsons changed this. The genius of the show is that it has something to offer both adults and children.
It's a hugely entertaining program that's also full of satire(讽刺) and clever humour. A remark by Chitra Ramaswamy in The Guardian gave a sense of the esteem (敬重) in which The Simpsons is held: “Nothing before or since has match its capacity to be at once so profoundly clever and so unbelievably stupid.”
The show's creators make fun of the US government, social customs, and of course, the idea of family life. But unlike most classic US primetime TV characters the Simpsons are a dysfunctional (功能失调的) family.
Bart, the boy, is always in trouble—both at home and at school. That may be in part because of his paternal example. Homer Simpson, perhaps the most iconic (标志性的) character, is a beerswilling, overweight slob(懒汉) who is normally found in front of the TV, and Marge, Homer's wife and the mother of the family, spends most of her time cooking, cleaning or trying to fix the messes that Bart and Homer make.
The smartest member of the family is daughter Lisa, who does well in school but is no goodygoody (讨好卖乖的人)—Lisa never misses an opportunity to challenge authority. The youngest member of the family is baby Maggie, who will be likely as much of a handful as her brother and sister when she grows up.
But although the Simpsons are a problem family, viewers are always on their side. One of the reasons why the show has remained so popular all these years is that the characters are so lovely. Millions of us identify with them. They are a working class family struggling to make ends meet. They aren't perfect, but then, who is? And after 30 years, this is still what strikes a chord(引起共鸣) with millions of viewers worldwide.
5．What can we know about The Simpsons according to the passage?
A．It is suitable for both adults and kids.
B．It reminds people of their bad children.
C．It is a program designed only for fun.
D．It is difficult to understand for many people.
6．Which of the following statement is TRUE about the Simpsons according to the passage?
A．They all show great support to the government.
B．Bart and Lisa are troublemakers of the family.
C．They are an ordinary family with many problems.
D．The children regard Homer as their role model.
7．Why do viewers like The Simpsons according to the passage?
A．Because they have the courage to challenge authority.
B．Because their lives and problems are similar to real people's.
C．Because they teach viewers how to fix problems.
D．Because they are a happy and perfect family.
8．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Reasons behind The Simpsons' lasting popularity.
B．The most popular characters in The Simpsons.
C．Changes to The Simpsons over the years.
D．What kind of stories The Simpsons tells.
