Last week I drove up to the family farm, half-an-hour drive from Shepparton.
Wayde showed me around the farm where he began his day at about 6:30 a.m. He said that the cows couldn't listen to loud music while he was milking.
Cows are very nervous animals, and many farmers have played slow music to keep their cows calm. It's reported that playing some music to cows leads to more milk production. So a lot of farmers keep a radio on in the barn (畜舍) to keep them happy.
Too many people think cows like country music. In fact, cows don't enjoy such things as country music. They prefer classical music to rock'n'roll(摇滚). Thanks to some researchers in Britain, farmers now know how many beats per minute cows prefer. The best speed of the music seems to be under 100 beats per minute. Cows listening to music like Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony (《田园交响曲》) produced about 3.5% more milk a day than those listening to faster music. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子是否正确，对的写A, 错的写B
( )46. Wayde must be a guide.
( )47. The underlined word “milking” means “挤奶” in Chinese.
( )48. Playing some proper music to cows helps them grow better and produce more milk.
( )49. Cows like country music better than classical music.
( )50. Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony is the music under 100 beats per minute.

If you live in the United States, the law says you can't have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can't earn(赚) your own money Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things. Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people's yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting(织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines! Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don't have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.
( )51. Kids can have full-time job at the age of _________ in the USA.
A.17 B. 14 C. 13
( )52. If you are 15 years old, you can't work_________.

A. You are learning how to succeed by working in your teens.
B. Earning one's money is better than asking for money from others.

B. it's hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in the USA.
C. kids can learn skills if they try to earn their own money

An old friend of mine telephoned from the railway station to tell me that he had come from Canada and was going to stay with me. I was still at the office at the time. So after telling him where my new house was, I told him that I had left my key under the doormat. As I would be home very late, I told him to help himself to food and drink.
Two hours later my friend telephoned me. He was watching TV after he had a wonderful meal. He cooked two eggs and helped himself to some cold chicken from the fridge. Now, he was drinking a glass of tea and hoped I would join him soon. I asked him if he had reached the house without trouble. He answered that he couldn’t find the key under the doormat, but the living room window just by the apple tree was open and he climbed in. I listened to all these with great surprise. There is no apple tree in front of my room, but there is one in front of the room next to ours.
