A
Last July, my 12－year－old car died on California's Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home.I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I'd just head east.A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going.“Four more lights，”she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night. She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield (挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.“I just can't leave you here，”she said.“This isn't the nicest place.I'll give you a ride home.”“You'll drive me home in the bus？”I asked, perplexed (困惑)．“No, I'll take you in my car，”she said.“It's a long way，”I protested. “Come on，”she said.“I have nothing else to do.”As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car.“I'm just passing the favor along，”she said.When I offered her money as a thank－you，she wouldn't hear of it.“That wouldn't make it a favor，”she said.“Just do something nice for somebody.Pass it along.”

Who are these people rushing by you in the street？More than 215 million people now call America “home”，but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world.If you look at the names on shop windows，you will see that Americans come from many different lands.The idea that these people，who once were strangers to the United States，have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American”is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side－by－side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools，business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side－by－side” has both advantages and disadvantages.Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another.However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food，national groups, or newspapers.

Music is an international language.The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.
Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class，after class，and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work.They also listen to the news about sports，the weather，politics，and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money.They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country，young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes，all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today，any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.
Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music.Music for instruments is called orchestra music(管弦乐)，such as the symphonies(交响乐) of Beethoven.There is opera(歌剧)for singers. There is ballet(芭蕾舞剧)for dancers like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.

Most people nowadays are persistently seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals.Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your services that will help you achieve your goals.
Marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself！The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this. They think that marketing concerns only to a business. Of course, this is absolutely not true.People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.
In every attempt you make, just think that marketing yourself is a very useful tool. The better you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have.Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are.It simply means telling your prospective employer that you exist, that you have the possibility of generating much greater income than your prospective employer makes. Or maybe you have the chance of doing something better. There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself. But there are only two primary approaches that you implement(实施). The first is you find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.
In order for you to reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee.In that way your good reputation will follow naturally. Have a brief and concise(简明) message that you can share with others.When you market yourself, you tell people who you are and what you can do for others. Plan well and practice your message.
In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them. Bear in mind that communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yoarself. You also communicate by what you are wearing.Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear.Just remember to make a great first impression!

What does an artist want to do？Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public.Not only does he want to say it well，but he wants it to be something which has not been said before.He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach，and he wants them to learn from him.
What visual (视觉)artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain，because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors，not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors，out of the countless billions possible，is exceptionally (特殊地)interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors，or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take shapes and colors from the world or nature and from human bodies in motion and repose (静态)，their choices show that these fields of the world are worth looking at，that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary (当代的)artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern，that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous (生疮的)leg and a lake in moonlight，each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something，showing us something and emphasizing something，all of which means that he is trying to teach us.
47．An artist hopes that the public will ________．
A．understand him and learn from him
B．notice only shapes and colors in his work
C．teach him something
D．believe what he says in his work
48．It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because ________．
A．most painters do not express themselves well
B．a painter uses unusual words and phrases
C．a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words
D．many painters do not say anything
49．Without the artist's work，the public might not ________.
A．notice particular shapes or colors
B．see the shapes and colors that express his experiences
C．feel his delight in shapes and colors
D．All of the above.
50．The writer says that contemporary art contains
________．
A．nothing but meaningless patterns
B．uninteresting aspects of the world
C．subjects chosen partly for their meaning
D．completely meaningless subjects

I'm writing to tell about the discussion we've had in the recent class meeting about whether Senior One students should take a lot of tonics to keep fit.
Opinions are divided on the topic. Sixty percent of the students think it unnecessary to take any tonics.They hold the opinion that taking tonics will cause them to put on weight，which is bad for their health.What's more，the price of tonics is rather high.
However, forty percent of the students point out that Senior One students have a lot more homework to do every day.So many students get tired and tonics can help to refresh themselves.In addition，they can't afford time to have sports.
Personally, having right food is more important.The best way to stay healthy is to take exercise regularly.

Whether it's a carol (圣诞颂歌)service or an evening of karaoke in the pub，many people will enjoy a good old sing－song this Christmas.Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits—it's good for your physical health as well. Filling the lungs with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.
For the past few years Heart Research UK has been running a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring. The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy. “Singing is linked to long life, stress reduction, and general health protection.It also brings a great amount of happiness.It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch(音高)．”
Professor Graham Welch，who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing. He says that singing is a form of exercise. It means we're also having a strong aerobic activity (有氧运动) when we're singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.
“And communal singing—like in a singing group，a church service or even a sing－song in the pub—helps improve our sense of self－respect. It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sense of feeling included.”
Helen Astrid，a singing teacher，also sees the great effects that singing brings. “It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self－respect ，and it's great for all ages from small kids to grannies—you can have a good sing and let_your_hair_down.”
But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.

The original group was made up of John Lennon，Paul McCartney，George Harrison and Pete Best，who began playing together in 1959.Three years later，in May 1962，the band signed a contract with the Parlophone Record Company.Before this，they were rejected(拒绝)by four record companies!
The Beatles' first single，“Love Me Do”，was released in October 1962.Two months before this，Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as the drummer.The band's catchy tunes and simple love lyrics made them popular immediately.In 1963，the band became the first to have three No.1 singles and two No.1 albums in a row.
By the end of 1963，the Beatles had been the most popular group in Europe.They sold millions of records，and their fans copied their hairstyles and clothes.Their records were not available(可得到的)in America until December 1963，when their fifth single was released there.Within a month it was a US No.1.Their American record company quickly released their first four singles，and the Beatles set another record—

Sadly，John Lennon，was shot dead outside his apartment building in New York in December 1980.The remaining three Beatles occasionally(偶尔)released new records.Nothing they do，however，can compare with the extraordinary work of the Beatles.

9．C 上句说人们对于他是否能演唱成功心存疑虑，这句说他的嗓音把音乐厅的人们争取过来，两句是转折关系，故选C项。
10．B 解此题时既要注意语意，又要注意固定搭配：win over“把……争取过来”；flow over“在……上面流过”；think over “仔细考虑”。

17．C 他先干农活，后打棒球，那么该忘记的应是最近的职业。
18．D 本句表示“他接受了对方的建议”。career表示“事业”；change表示“变化”；order表示“命令”；advice表示“建议”。词组take the advice表示“接受建议”。
