Carol: I started playing the cello (大提琴) when I was about eight or nine. It was great playing the cello because I was in youth orchestras and we went abroad to do tours. But anyway, when I got to university, I stopped playing. Well, there just wasn't time and there were so many other things to do. Luckily, I took it up after my 25th birthday and joined a band (乐队).
Daniel: When I was little, I thought I'd end up learning the guitar like my father, but then I decided that I wanted to have my own instrument (乐器), so I chose the trumpet (小号). I'm in the school jazz band and I'd like to be a musician when I grow up, but my dad says it's difficult to make a living from music. But I don't want to be a lawyer like him. It's so boring.
Carmen: Nobody likes living near someone like me because when I practise, I make a lot of noise! But you have to keep practising, don't you Otherwise it gets more and more difficult. The trouble is, in the summer, when it's hot, I have to open the windows, so the whole street gets to hear it if I'm not careful. I love playing the drums and I play in a fantastic band.
Vince: I've played the guitar for as long as I can remember, but when I was trying to make it as a musician after school, I used to play in the Underground in London to make a bit of extra money. I kept on playing, but I ran a restaurant to make a living. When I get any spare time I still play. I've got a few friends who like music too and we formed a band.

Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children's intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today's children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children's health. Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children's moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don't take interest in their surroundings. In such cases, a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
5.By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show ________.
A.why adults should listen to music
B.children should listen to music
C.listening to music is only good for adults
D.why scientists are interested in music
6.What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Harms. B.Changes.
C.Improves. D.Shows.
7.The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means ________.
A.learning languages better
B.understanding foreign cultures better
C.accepting the fast developing world easily
D.showing greater interest in other cultures
8.What would be the best title for the passage
A.Why do Children Love Music
B.How to Choose Music for Children
C.How to Teach Children Music Easily
D.Why is Music Important to Children
C
My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practiced about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there's something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I've worn prosthetics (假手).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band — not because it was a high school band and I'm only in seventh grade, but probably because my body is different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn't even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my mp3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, “OK, I can get through today.”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are to a measure. I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It's a normal problem that we musicians share. When I'm with the band, I don't feel as different as I do in other situations. It's just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
9.How does Sara probably feel when she's with the band
A.Bored. B.Relaxed.
C.Successful. D.Afraid.
10.What would be the best title for the text
A.A high school band B.A young drummer
C.The music of me D.My magic hands
11.In what way is Sara different from other kids
A.There's something wrong with her body.
B.She knows how to play many instruments.
C.She learned to play the drums at a very early age.
D.She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.
12.When invited to join the marching band, Sara ________.
A.said no at first
B.had no idea what to do
C.followed the instructor's advice
D.believed that she would make it
D
They are sisters.They are in a car.They are arguing and one of them tries to leave.The two girls are acting but for 17 year old Ellie it's not all that far from the truth.Next week she will be in court to testify (作证) against a friend who hurt her.“Being here makes me forget all about that,” she says.
At Breeze Arts Foundation in Leeds, eight young people between the ages of 16 and 20 are practising what their acting teacher Fiona has presented to them.
Breeze Arts Foundation, which has been running for five years, is trying to get young people who are Neet (not in education, employment, or training) or in danger of becoming Neets back into education or work.
Each member of the group tells a different story.Some are here because they simply can't stay in school, some because they have family problems, and some because they have a history of breaking the law.
The course members attend a 12 week programme.While here they will all work towards an Arts Award (奖) and an end of term performance.
Sarah McGlinchey is the course keyworker.As well as designing the courses, she does one on one work with the students, helping with everything from housing to job hunting.Lessons are given on Wednesdays and Thursdays but the rest of the time McGlinchey focuses on one to one support.
Some of the teens here will never go on to work in the performing arts, but some will make careers (职业) in the area.One former member has worked at the West Yorkshire Playhouse.Another student went on to university to study modern art.Whatever happens, McGlinchey says, “Learning about performing arts and the arts industry builds their confidence (自信) and shows them what chances are out there.”
13.What can we learn about the course from the last paragraph
A.It allows students to enjoy works of art.
B.It is attracting more members these days.
C.It helps the members believe in themselves.
D.It needs more support from the arts industry.
14.What does Ellie probably think of the course
A.It is challenging.
B.It takes her pain away.
C.It teaches her some basic truths.
D.It gives her knowledge about law.
15.What is the purpose of the course
A.To help youths in difficult situations.
B.To encourage youths to enter college.
C.To teach arts lessons to local students.
D.To pick out excellent star performers.

Understanding and appreciating abstract art can be tough if you don't have much experience with art. Don't worry. The following can help you gain an appreciation of abstract artwork enormously.
Relax as you look at abstract art.
__1__, it's best to go to the gallery or view the art when you're in a relaxing state so that the art affects you in a positive way. Limit distractions around you, like your cellphone, and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts.
__2__.
Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that” and dismiss prior opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it. Try to approach the art with an open mind and don't compare it with other works, especially if it's not in the same style.

Instead of trying to evaluate the technical aspects of the art, ask yourself how the art makes you feel. __3__, it has an emotional impact on you. Do be honest with yourself when determining your real feeling.

Speak and interact with abstract artists.

A.Look at the artwork as objectively as you can
B.If it makes you happy, sad, anxious, or excited

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
My mom only had one eye. I hated her. She was such an embarrassment.
She ran a small shop at a flea market (跳蚤市场) and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed. Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed and wondered how could she do this to me I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, “Your mom only has one eye?” and laughed at me.
I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world. So I said to my mom, “Why don't you have the other eye You're only gonna (将要) make me a joke!” My mom trembled with shock, and said in an apologetic tone, “I'm so sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you. But I was so proud of my son to see a whole new world for me with that_eye. I will leave right now. Sorry!” My mom turned around and staggered away.
For the words I had said to her earlier, there was something biting at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my one eyed mom and our desperate poverty. Maybe because my mom hadn't punished me, I didn't think I had hurt her feelings very badly.
I told myself that I would become successful in the near future, so I studied very hard. Later I got accepted by the Seoul University. I left my mother and came to Seoul to study. I never went back to visit my mom.
Then I got married there. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I am living happily as a successful man. I enjoy the life in Seoul because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom and my past. This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day someone knocked at my door.

Good morning, everyone!
My name is Li Hua and I'm very honored today to stand here to share my opinion.My speech today will focus on “Thank you, my parents!”
Last week our music teacher taught us a song, named Indebted Heart. Through it I know that we should live with a thankful heart. At that time, I think of my parents. I think they are the first people I should thank. It's them who give me life. It's them who teach me knowledge and make me live happily. I should thank my parents for giving me so much. Maybe I should think how to pay back the love my parents give me. But now I think the best way to repay my parents is to study well and then be a useful person to the society when I grow up.
Thank you for your listening.
【读后续写】
Paragraph 1:
It was my mom! And still with her one eye! Reminded instantly of my dark past and embarrassment,_I felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. Overwhelmed with rage, I growled at her, “Who are you How dare you come to my house!” My mom narrowed her eye and opened her mouth but nothing came out there. Dead silence! Tears streaming down the gloomy winkled face, she thrust a letter into my hand, turned around and staggered away, head deep down. Heart stung by her withered back, I just cast a glance at the letter. My mom gave that_eye to me! My world shattered.
Paragraph 2:
Holding the letter, I cried for the person who only lived for me. How eagerly she wanted her own son to see the world clearly! But how deeply I had hurt her! Heart knotted with deep regret, I called out loudly, “Mom!” I ran after my mom, grabbed her and knelt down. “Mom, would you forgive me and accept me again?” Tears dried and her expression one of forgiving, a smile stole into her cheeks. It's never too old fashioned to say mom's love is the greatest in the world.
