In recent months, a catchy song, A Little Apple, has become such a hit that it has even inspired square-dancing troupes to mimic its music video. When Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon, an adventure comedy featuring the song, was released on July 10, the unusual publicity strategy was applauded. Ticket sales of Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon surpassed 150 million yuan in the first week of hitting the big screen. Interactive online campaigns involving fans have become a popular way to promote a movie. The first two episodes of Tiny Times, the directing debut of author, Guo Jingming, made 800 million yuan at the box office last year, in spite of criticism for its portrayal of lavish lifestyles. Before the third episode was shown, fans donated a small sum of money online as "investors" in the movie. Some of the people who donated received film souvenirs, or the chance to visit the film set. Han Han, Guo's major competitor, has just released his directorial debut, road-trip comedy, The Continent. Han has over 38 million followers on Sina Weibo, China's major micro-blogging platform. He has broadcast the filming process of the movie to his followers since he began shooting. The film's trailer was released online in May, only three days after shooting and it has been viewed 4.7 million times. "I don't care too much about the surprising numbers online, and what matters more is whether the movie is good or not," Han once said. However, when he invited popular singer, Pu Shu, to write the closing song for the movie, he must have had another idea in mind. Pu, who has been away from the public eye for some 11 years, also brings a new element for the movie claiming to be devoted to young people. The song became very popular as soon as it was released online. No one knows what other trump cards will be thrown on the table during the tense online campaign this summer. How does Guo promote his film Tiny Times? A) He takes advantage of his fans to support the movie. B) He has a luxurious lifestyle to attract the attention of people. C) He gives presents to his fans to encourage them to watch it. D) He organizes online activities to increase its popularity.

Ques:Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they'll change America. Rightly so. But selfishly, I'm more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world's attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African woman they so rarely see. Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The widespread theory seems to be that we're all hot-tempered single mothers who can't keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can't escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic mothers. These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simply to be herself. It won't be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all. Just as she will have her critics, she will have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they'd like to see Michelle bring to the White House -- mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone -- an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise , confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that's been around far too long. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady? A) However many fans she has, she should remain modest. B) She shouldn't disappoint the African-American community. C) However hard she tries, she can't expect to please everybody. D) She will concern herself with African-American women's welfare
