Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college,never mind that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave（八度音阶）.Unable to fully play many works by Romantic-era composers including Beethoven and Brahms,she tried anyway—and in her determination to spend hours practicing a Chopin concerto（协奏曲），wound up injuring herself.
The efforts of Professor Carol Leone from the Southern Methodist University（SMU）are changing all that：twenty years ago,the school became the first major university in the U.S，to introduce smaller keyboards into its music program,leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.
Yi,21，tried one of the smaller keyboards, "I remember being really excited,because my hands could actually reach and play all the right notes," she said.
For decades,few questioned the size of the traditional piano.For those with small hand spans（掌距），it's difficult to properly play many works of Beethoven and Brahms.Those who attempt to play them either get used to skipping notes or risk injury with repeated play.Leone is familiar with such challenges.Born into a family of musicians,she favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span and earned a degree as a doctor in musical arts.
The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance from some traditionalists.Leone also said that when she raised the issue with one Viennese professor,he told her there were already too many pianists anyway.
Though such resistance is fading,there are some very traditional people who think of piano as a competitive thing.Leone said, "This is art,it's not sport.It's about making as much beautiful art as possible,and we should give everybody the opportunity to do that."
4. Why did Eliana Yi find it hard to play a Chopin concert to well？ ______
A. Her fingers got injured.
B. It was time-consuming.
C. Her hand spans were small.
D. The traditional piano was out of tune.
5. What is paragraph 4 intended to do？ ______
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
B. Provide some advice for pianists.
C. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
D. Add some background information.
6. What is the Viennese professor's attitude towards smaller keyboards？ ______
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Positive.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text？ ______
A. A Hard-working SMU Professor
B. The Story Behind Smaller Keyboard Pianos
C. Traditional Piano：A Competitive Thing
D. Yi's Road to a Brilliant Artist
C
When I worked on the manufacturing shop（车间）floor,we rarely saw plant managers.Except for one.He often walked through the plant.He checked out product quality.He stopped for a brief word—usually no more than a "hello." He wasn't outgoing.He didn't display any of the qualities typically associated with a "leader." Yet we liked him.
In a 1992 University of Pittsburgh study,researchers had four women attend a number of different classes.Their attendance varied：one woman might attend every class；a different woman might attend only a few.What didn't vary was their behavior.None of the women spoke in class or spoke to other students.
At the end of the term,students were asked which woman they liked best.Who "won"？Women who attended the highest number of classes.According to the researchers,"Mere exposure had weak effects on familiarity,but strong effects on attraction and similarity." Or in non-researcher-speak：If I see you frequently,I naturally like you more.That's the power of showing up.
Knowing someone will show up in the future also matters.In a 1967 University of Minnesota study,researchers gave study participants profiles of two people and told them that one would be a partner in future discussion groups.When asked,the participants said they liked their future partner more.Even though the profiles were almost identical.
Want your team or your customers to like you more？Show up.Drop in.Drop by.Send a brief note.Make a quick phone call.You don't have to say or do much.Then,be consistent in your behavior.In time,people will expect you to drop in or drop by,whether in person or virtually.Anticipating future contact will make them like you more.
8. What does the first paragraph serve as？ ______
A. An introduction. B. A background.
C. A comment. D. An explanation.
9. According to the 1992 study,what helps make a student welcome？ ______
A. Answering questions frequently.
B. Greeting others enthusiastically.
C. Behaving more like others.
D. Attending classes more often.
10. What did the University of Minnesota study find？ ______
A. Familiarity contributes to likability.
B. Identical behaviours enhance likability.
C. Future partnership increases likability.
D. Virtual contacts benefit likability.
11. What is the text mainly about？ ______
A. Power of likability. B. Research on likability.
C. Definition of likability. D. Application of likability.
D
People today are not unfamiliar with term such as "going eco-friendly" and "sustainable lifestyle".However,there exists a group of sceptics（怀疑论者）who believe that going eco-friendly is merely a fad（一时的风尚）.I disagree with this viewpoint,Going eco-friendly is not merely a fad and it does,in fact,change the beliefs and attitudes of people.
The long-term presence of environmental organisations shows the efforts that people have made towards going eco-friendly.Organisations such as World Wildlife Fund advocate people to go eco-friendly.The high involvement of the organisations and the participants is thus a strong indicator that going eco-friendly is not merely a fad but a trend that can last decades.
Another strong indicator is the emergence of sustainable products in many industries,such as organic produce and electric vehicles.The consumer demand,coupled with eco-conscious（环保意识的）businesses,is behind the sharp increase in such products.This shows a shift in the beliefs and attitudes of people towards adopting a sustainable lifestyle.Thus,it seems quite certain that going eco-friendly is not merely a fad.
While some people who broadcast their eco-friendly practices are criticised for just hoping to project an eco-conscious image,there are a number of celebrities who have been practising the zero-waste lifestyle for years.For those who do so for years,and not mere days or months,it is indeed a commitment that can only come with a true change in beliefs and attitudes towards caring for the earth.
The call to save the earth looks set to stay.With the development of technology and the appearance of many platforms advocating going green,people are more willing to change their beliefs and attitudes when they can learn about and appreciate the positive impact of the work of different environmental organisations and individuals.It is hoped that these effects will go a long way in ensuring that our planet will remain a suitable place to live in.
12. Why does the author mention World Wildlife Fund？ ______
A. To appreciate its environmental efforts.
B. To encourage people to go eco-friendly.
C. To evidence the universal recognition of going green.
D. To highlight the difficulty in changing people's attitudes.
13. What does the underlined word "emergence" mean in paragraph 3？ ______
A. Sudden disappearance. B. Sharp increase.
C. Gradual development. D. Limited application.
14. What does the author expect of technology development？ ______
A. It may discourage people from sustainable lifestyle.
B. It may boost the business of organic produce.
C. It will be used to project an eco-conscious image.
D. It will promote environmental awareness.
15. What is the author's purpose in writing this text？ ______
A. To prove going eco-friendly a lasting trend.
B. To popularize the eco-friendly products.
C. To offer strategies to go eco-friendly.
D. To advertise for eco-friendly platforms.

I can't wait for the day when we can sit down in person and surf the Net together.Meanwhile,it's great to see how much her confidence has grown. (5) "I've made a resolution," she announced. "I'm going to learn how to operate every piece of technology in the apartment—including the TV remote."

B.Reading is difficult.

As I was coming into Middle School,Grade Six,I was really excited because my friend Jennifer was going to be in the same Middle School as me!At first things were great,she introduced me to her friend,Amy and we had lots of fun together.Then things started to change.Jennifer was very controlling：I couldn't make new friends,because if I hung out with different people,she would decide that I was "mad at her and Amy".So I didn't make new friends,and pretty soon being Jennifer's friend became a battle between Amy and me.
Jennifer wanted to be the "leader" of our little group.Amy and I were never partners in class projects or gym；it was always, "Who gets the privilege（荣耀）of being Jennifer's partner." It was either Jennifer liked me and she left Amy out or Jennifer liked Amy and she left me out.Amy and I both wanted to be Jennifer's number one.Being Jennifer's friend became the most important thing in the world.
I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after classes,so we could walk together to our next class.Amy and Jennifer chatted by Jennifer's desk as Jennifer packed her books up and I waited by the door.Sometimes when they left,they'd walk right past me.No "Thanks for waiting".No "Sorry we took so long".It was as if they couldn't even see me.Yet I still waited after every single class.
Most of the time we gossiped（传播流言蜚语）about people,and I soon realized that nobody was good enough for Jennifer.Jennifer had a list of bad things about everybody,even Amy.And I'm sure she had a list of bad things about me,too.After months of living through school this way,I had really changed.I was moody,depressed,lonely,and I didn't smile much.I spent lots of days trying not to cry.I felt so left out.
