Hope Matters
Reyes Guana, 42, grew up in a poor Mexican family. He has seven brothers and sisters. His parents always had two jobs to make ends meet.
As a boy, Guana had a good relationship with the school cleaner. He called her "Nike" because she wore Nike shoes. The boy liked how Nike made everything clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. "Well, it's good if you want to be a cleaner," Nike told little Guana. "But make sure you go to college."
Guana also looked up to the principal (校长) of his school. The school leader told the boy that his job was to help students and teachers. "Wow, when I grow up, I want to do what you're doing," Guana told him. "Well, if you stick to your dream, you will," the principal replied.
And Guana really got there. But it was quite a long journey for him. Twenty-three years ago, he followed in Nike's footsteps and was cleaning schools. He worked at three schools to pay for his college education. He held that job for four years and then worked his way up to being a school safety monitor. After that, he worked as a teacher for a few years.
Now, as a principal, Guana never forgets where he came from. He helps students from poor families and shows respect (尊重) for every school staff member. He always invites everyone to school parties, including those who clean the floors and those who drive the school buses.

四、阅读判断
根据短文内容，判断正误。正确的填“T”，错误的填“F”，并将答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。
To me, life would be boring without music. I realize that it is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concerts, and listening to the CDs. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feeling, the moving story, and the greatest interests, be so exciting I’m not sure about it.
Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning－ the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life, too－in the sound of the sea, the singing of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well side, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”
36．Music is very important in my life.
37．Some people don’t realize the importance of music.
38．Music can’t be found everywhere in everyday life.
39．Music has meaning, especially for musicians.
40．The writer talked mainly about the development of music.

The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear ____46____ It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the same.

About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between.

If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why ____48____
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. ____49____ Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
____50____ They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muza!
A．Some people don’t like Muzak.
B．The music gives them extra energy.
C．Music is playing in the background.
D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
