课时阅读训练 十三 Module 4　Period 1 阅读理解 A China’s TV singing contest Super Girl will return to screens. The show is to be relaunched by Hunan Satellite TV, in Changsha, the capital of central China’s Hunan Province. It is similar to American Idol. The show offers ordinary people a chance at stardom among the earliest contests in China. About 610, 000 people have registered to enter the contest, according to a press conference held on Tuesday. Women above 18 years old can apply to be a contestant. They will be scored by the judging team and public votes. The twenty finalists will be announced on June 18. The show was first produced in 2004, and at its height 200 million people tuned in to watch the live, three-hour final of Super Girl 2005.

She later appeared on the cover of Time Asia Magazine as one of the 25 Asian Heroes of the year. A set of stamps were issued featuring her. Some contestants who win the fame through the show are still singers, such as Zhang Liangying and Shang Wenjie. Others married, like Ye Yiqian whose husband is Chinese diver, Sydney and Athens Olympic gold medalist Tian Liang. Since the run-away success of Super Girl, Chinese TV producers have competed to make similar reality shows, like The Voice of China. There are some concerns that Super Girl may not be able to achieve its past glory. 【语篇概述】文章主要介绍了湖南电视台的选秀节目《超级女声》比赛将重返舞台。 1. The TV show, Super Girl , 　　　. ?
