On the way, he had run out of his1so he had no food to eat and had to live in his car.One morning,

11、 after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found he had to2to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. He was so embarrassed(尷尬的) that his face turned red. The waiter, also the owner, walked behi

12、nd the young mans seat. He bent down(彎腰), and stood up3a $20 bill in his hand. It seemed as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son, you must have dropped this.” the owner said. The young man was so4that he couldnt believe his eyes! He quickly5for the breakfast and went out.On the way out of town, he re

13、alized, “6nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe the owner of the restaurant just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didnt embarrass me. What a kind person he is! 7I have the chance in the future; I will do the same to help others.”Now older, the man lives near Kansas City. Each ye

15、ation in schools has kind of turned into amusement, Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical （古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to. A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker, argues that all students should st

16、udy the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky. Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage （遺產(chǎn)）because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack （缺乏）of mus

17、ic teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist （專業(yè)的） music teachers. A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools. Im not against pop music, but its

18、very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing, Professor Walker says. But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australias culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films. At least children ought to know whats happening in Western culture. Its par

19、t of culture heritage, he says. Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West. Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief （首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman o

20、f the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum （課程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study , such as the Mendelssohns. This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Weste

21、rn classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible, he says.1Whats the problem in music education in Professor Walkers opinion?AChildren know nothing about their culture heritage.BClassical music education isnt

22、 valued in schools.CPop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.DAustralian schools need more specialist music teachers.2According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is _ .Apart of culture heritageBgood for their growing upCdifficult to play and singDpopular

23、only in Asia3According to the passage, which one is different from the other three?AHaydn.BTchaikovsky.CMendelssohn.DElvis Presley.4Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker?AHe worries about the music education in schools.BHe thinks pop music teaching shouldnt be allowed.

24、CHe is well known in Western classical music teaching.DHe has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia.5From the last paragraph, we can learn that _ .Amusic teachers should teach anything that they likeBmost children today are brought up by their music teachersCmusic teachers shouldnt teach the music

25、 of Elvis Presley at allDchildrens music education today depends on their teacher s tasteB14、There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think youll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you dont believe, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with t

26、he same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by oneIt is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that diffe

27、rent colors have different weight in a mans mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colors also h

28、ave smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and r

29、efuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or youll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, youll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, yo

30、ull feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.1The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us _.Aa red box is heavier than a whi

31、te one Ba color has weight in ones mindCwhite paper is lighter than red paper Dyou can know the weight of a color by holding it2Why did the scientist say colors have smell?ABecause people can sense the light from colors.BBecause we can smell colors with our nose.CBecause every color has its own swee

32、t smell.DBecause every color can give off light of the same length.3If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will _.Arise Bfall Cstay the same Dchange now and then4It can be implied from the text that _.Acolors have orders in weightBcolors can change the weight of an ob

Ochoa is the first Hispanic astronaut woman to fly into space. As a c

38、hild, Ochoa didnt know what she wanted to be when she grew up. But her mother always told her to stay in school and study hard. She listened to her mother. When she was 13 years old, she won a spelling contest. In high school, Ochoa spent many hours each week studying for all her classes. She finish

39、ed with the best grades in her class. After high school, Ochoa went to college. One day in college she heard that the U.S. government had chosen six women to become astronauts. At that time, Ochoa decided to become an astronaut, too. Her many years of hard work paid off at last. She was asked to be

40、an astronaut in 1990. In April, 1993 in the space shuttle(航天飛機) named Discovery, she made history by becoming the first Hispanic woman to travel to space. Ochoa and the other astronauts had many jobs while on the Discovery. One of her tasks was to use the shuttles robot arm to move large objects. Oc

41、hoa used a computer to make the arm pick up a satellite and put it into space. A satellite is a spacecraft that moves around the earth or some other objects. Satellites can take pictures and gather information about planets and stars. During her second trip in 1994, she used the robot arm again. She

42、 used the arm to pull in a satellite from space. The satellite had been used to study the air around the earth. Then Ochoa went to two more shuttle trips. Altogether, she spent a whole month in space. Thats more than 700 hours. Ochoa knows that she is a hero to many young people. She often tells the

43、m the same thing her mother told her when she was a little girl. “Get a good education and believe in yourself,” says Ochoa.1When did Ochoa decide to become an astronaut?AWhen she was in college.BWhen she was 13 years old.CBefore she went to high school.DAfter she went to work.2On the Discovery, Och

44、oa used the robot arm to _ .Arepair the shuttles computerBtake pictures of the earthCgather information about planetsDput a satellite into space3Ochoa probably advises the young people to _ .Afly into space one dayBbecome scientists some dayCdo their best in schoolDlearn how to use robot armsE17、Ove

45、r the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary,middle and high school education in the U S. The reason for this direction is well founded:research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s

46、showed that our students had fallen behindtheir international peers in all of these subject areas. Education officials, teachers andparents all felt that the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rushto play catchup in STEMrelated areas, theres one important aspect that is bei

47、ngneglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.Its long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high schoollevel helps students improve in many areas, such as selfconfidence, selfexpression,communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators a

48、nd parents agree thatall of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the sameparents and teachers to prioritize (優(yōu)先安排) study time and classroom time to a subject likedrama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. Its even more difficult forpolicy m

49、akers and school officials to channel funds (資金) towards classes like drama,when the skills arts subjects develop are considered “soft skills.” When the modern world iscalling out for “hard” skills, like those needed to succeed in the techdriven 21st century,how can they possibly prove it is reasona

50、ble to spend their funds that are becoming smallerand smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question “why spend time and money on drama?” is that dramaeducation has been scientifically proven to improve students achievement, especially incommunication skills that are very imp

51、ortant to a STEM education. As we develop studentswith highly refined skills in STEM subjects, its equally important that we train the teachersthat will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is thebest way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, wh

52、ich can be unbearablydry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in whichthe communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation.Drama improves students public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectivelypresent papers in

53、conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. Its alsovery important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEMworld, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the “ soft ” people skillsnecessary to navigate (導(dǎo)航) all of these interactions,

54、no matter how technologically skilledone becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate andwork in teams.While the nationwide trend (趨勢) to focus on playing catchup in STEM education isreasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, its important not to forget the h

55、uge effectarts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of our children. Thequestion parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking themselves is not “can weafford to support arts education in schools?” but rather “can we afford not to?”1Why did Americans start to stress

56、STEM related classes?ABecause the world has moved into a techdriven century.BBecause STEM classes have long been neglected in America.CBecause education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.DBecause US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.2The word “channel” in Paragrap

One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I foun

59、d the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to th

60、e car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “Its nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, youre such a good man.” She said. When we got into the tax
