Have you ever thought about why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music Well, to understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in these places. Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music helps us pay attention to what we are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps them recover faster and better.
Depression(沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything is getting worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown that music can be an important mood lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in making us feel less nervous or worried. Anxiety can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.
Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language another person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can often be the best way to connect with someone.
Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel better, sad music can further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot more powerful, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long way. If you want to use music to change the way how you are feeling, you need to understand the role of it, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the kind of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can be the perfect way to help us feel happier.

Cybercafe(网吧) computer centers are found in many cities around the world. Now, a few American high schools are opening these centers. For example, a high school in the state of Maryland began operating a cybercafe last March. All students at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda can use the cybercafe. But school officials say it’s set especially to help students who have no computer or cannot use the Internet at home.
The officials say thirteen percent of the students at the school are from poor families. Many students have arrived in the United States from other countries recently. Students in the school’s program for learning English speak twenty-three languages.
The idea for a cybercafe at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School began three years ago. At that time, officials were planning to restore the school building. Parents interested in technology proposed to build a cybercafe.
Over two years, money for a cybercafe and other new computers was collected. It received more than one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. The cybercafe now has sixteen computers, a printer and a scanner(扫描仪). School official Ann Hengerer says students use the Internet to complete research. They also write homework and required papers on the computer. In addition, they can send and receive electronic mail. That is especially helpful for many students who have family members in other nations.
The cybercafe also serves a social purpose. Visitors can stop by for a drink of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
1.According to the passage, who do you think can use the cybercafe at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School
A.Only the students from foreign countries.
B.All the students at this school.
C.Only the students who have no computers at home.
D.All the teachers at this school.
2.How was the cybercafe built at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School
A.By applying for fund from the government. B.By collecting some used computers.
C.By selling coffee to visitors. D.By raising money.
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A.Students can play some computer games in the cybercafe.
B.Students can write homework online in the cybercafe.
C.Students can send and receive electronic mail in the cybercafe.
D.The cybercafe also provides some drinks for students.
4.What column may the passage be taken from in the newspaper
A.Travel. B.Business. C.Education. D.Entertainment

Nintendo, Sony and Toshiba have all issued warnings telling parents to keep young children from playing 3-D games and watching movies shown in 3-D. But now, an organisation representing family eye doctors says 3-D may not be bad for kids.
Last week, Nintendo issued a warning saying that children under six years old should not play 3-D games on the Nintendo 3DS hand-held game machine. It lets players see 3-D images without having to use special glasses. Toshiba and Sony issued similar warnings.
The concern has stemmed from the fact that, among children under 6 years old, vision is still developing and the muscles in the eyes are still not fully formed.
The American Optometric Association does call for control when it comes to letting children view 3-D games on a device like the Nintendo 3DS(which also can be played in standard 2-D mode). But it says children younger than 6 can use the 3DS in 3-D mode if their visual system is developing normally.
More importantly, the organisation says that parents may be able to discover problems with their children's vision by observing how they react to the 3-D on their game machine. Difficulties with appreciating 3-D in movies, TV and the Nintendo 3DS, or discomfort when engaging in these activities may be an important sign of undetected vision disorders. Since vision develops from birth, it is important to uncover the type of vision disorders that may interfere with Nintendo 3-D viewing at an early age.
The AOA, of course, recommends regular eye examines for all children. But it says that if children experience the "3DS of 3-D viewing"—discomfort, dizziness, or lack of depth—it will become especially important that a doctor examine their eyes.
1.According to the American Optometric Association, the warnings issued by Nintendo, Sony and Toshiba are _________.
A.scientific B.unnecessary C.shocking D.irresponsible
2.Sony's warning is based on ________.
A.the influence of 3-D images B.the dangers of 3-D games
C.the development of the visual system D.the mental development of children
3.Which of the following would the American Optometric Association agree with
A.Playing 3-D games may lead to poor grades at school.
B.The Nintendo 3DS is a gadget suitable for young children.
C.All children under six can play 3-D games.
D.Children are easily addicted to playing 3-D games.
4.The "children experience the '3DS of 3-D viewing'" in the last paragraph means _________.
A.children have uncomfortable symptoms when watching 3-D images
B.children suffer from spending much time playing 3-D games
C.children should take eye examinations after experiencing 3-D viewing
D.3-D viewing may cause three common vision disorders for children

At sixty degrees below zero, Harry walked down the trail on a cold, gray day. Pure white snow and ice covered the earth for as far as he could see. This was his first winter in Alaska. He was wearing heavy clothes and fur boots, but he still felt cold and uncomfortable.
Harry was on his way to a camp near Henderson Creek where his friends were waiting. He expected to reach Henderson Creek by six o'clock that evening. It would be dark by then. He was refreshed when he realized his friends would have a fire and hot food ready for him. To make things better, there was a dog accompanying him on the journey.
The dog loved its owner but did not like the extreme cold. It knew the weather was too cold to travel. In spite of this bad situation, Harry with the dog continued to walk down the trail. He came to a frozen stream called Indian Creek. He began to walk on the snow-covered ice. It was a trail that would lead him straight to his friends.
As he walked, Harry looked carefully at the ice in front of him. Once, he stopped suddenly, and then walked around a part of the frozen stream. He saw an underground spring flowing under the ice at that spot. It made the ice thin. If he stepped there, he might break through the ice into a pool of water. To get his boots wet in such cold weather might kill him. His feet would turn to ice quickly and he would freeze to death.
At about twelve o'clock, Harry decided to stop to eat his lunch. He took off the glove on his right hand, opened his jacket and pulled out his food, which took less than twenty seconds. Yet, his fingers began to freeze.
Harry hit his hand against his leg several times until he felt a sharp pain. Then he quickly put his glove on his hand. He made a fire, beginning with small pieces of wood and adding larger ones. He sat on a snow-covered log and ate his lunch, enjoying the warm fire for a few minutes. Then he stood up and started walking on the frozen stream again.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, the ice broke suddenly and Harry's feet sank into the water.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
What's worse, his dog ran away and the fear of death came over Harry.

第二节
Paragraph 1:
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, the ice broke suddenly and Harry's feet sank into the water. It was not deep, but his legs got wet to the knees. Harry was so upset that the accident would delay his schedule. He had to find some firewood to build a fire to dry his clothes. He pulled off his gloves, took out his matches, and lighted the fire. Seeing the burning fire, he had thought he was safe. But suddenly, without warning, a heavy mass of snow dropped down. The flame of hope was put out.
Paragraph 2:
What's worse, his dog ran away and the fear of death came over Harry. He had no choice but to run to save himself. However, he did not feel his feet when they hit the ground. Having fallen several times, he decided to rest a while. As he lay in the snow, he noticed he was not shaking. He could not feel his nose or fingers or feet. A feeling of horror came into his mind. It was when he realized he was going to die that he heard a bark and the noise his friends made.

Have you ever thought about why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music Well, to understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in these places. Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music helps us pay attention to what we are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps them recover faster and better.
Depression(沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything is getting worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown that music can be an important mood lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in making us feel less nervous or worried. Anxiety can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.
Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language another person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can often be the best way to connect with someone.
Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel better, sad music can further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot more powerful, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long way. If you want to use music to change the way how you are feeling, you need to understand the role of it, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the kind of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can be the perfect way to help us feel happier.

Cybercafe(网吧) computer centers are found in many cities around the world. Now, a few American high schools are opening these centers. For example, a high school in the state of Maryland began operating a cybercafe last March. All students at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda can use the cybercafe. But school officials say it’s set especially to help students who have no computer or cannot use the Internet at home.
The officials say thirteen percent of the students at the school are from poor families. Many students have arrived in the United States from other countries recently. Students in the school’s program for learning English speak twenty-three languages.
The idea for a cybercafe at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School began three years ago. At that time, officials were planning to restore the school building. Parents interested in technology proposed to build a cybercafe.
Over two years, money for a cybercafe and other new computers was collected. It received more than one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. The cybercafe now has sixteen computers, a printer and a scanner(扫描仪). School official Ann Hengerer says students use the Internet to complete research. They also write homework and required papers on the computer. In addition, they can send and receive electronic mail. That is especially helpful for many students who have family members in other nations.
The cybercafe also serves a social purpose. Visitors can stop by for a drink of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
1.According to the passage, who do you think can use the cybercafe at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School
A.Only the students from foreign countries.
B.All the students at this school.

Nintendo, Sony and Toshiba have all issued warnings telling parents to keep young children from playing 3-D games and watching movies shown in 3-D. But now, an organisation representing family eye doctors says 3-D may not be bad for kids.
Last week, Nintendo issued a warning saying that children under six years old should not play 3-D games on the Nintendo 3DS hand-held game machine. It lets players see 3-D images without having to use special glasses. Toshiba and Sony issued similar warnings.
The concern has stemmed from the fact that, among children under 6 years old, vision is still developing and the muscles in the eyes are still not fully formed.
The American Optometric Association does call for control when it comes to letting children view 3-D games on a device like the Nintendo 3DS(which also can be played in standard 2-D mode). But it says children younger than 6 can use the 3DS in 3-D mode if their visual system is developing normally.
More importantly, the organisation says that parents may be able to discover problems with their children's vision by observing how they react to the 3-D on their game machine. Difficulties with appreciating 3-D in movies, TV and the Nintendo 3DS, or discomfort when engaging in these activities may be an important sign of undetected vision disorders. Since vision develops from birth, it is important to uncover the type of vision disorders that may interfere with Nintendo 3-D viewing at an early age.
The AOA, of course, recommends regular eye examines for all children. But it says that if children experience the "3DS of 3-D viewing"—discomfort, dizziness, or lack of depth—it will become especially important that a doctor examine their eyes.
1.According to the American Optometric Association, the warnings issued by Nintendo, Sony and Toshiba are _________.
A.scientific B.unnecessary C.shocking D.irresponsible
2.Sony's warning is based on ________.
A.the influence of 3-D images B.the dangers of 3-D games
C.the development of the visual system D.the mental development of children
3.Which of the following would the American Optometric Association agree with
A.Playing 3-D games may lead to poor grades at school.
B.The Nintendo 3DS is a gadget suitable for young children.
C.All children under six can play 3-D games.
D.Children are easily addicted to playing 3-D games.
4.The "children experience the '3DS of 3-D viewing'" in the last paragraph means _________.
A.children have uncomfortable symptoms when watching 3-D images
B.children suffer from spending much time playing 3-D games
C.children should take eye examinations after experiencing 3-D viewing
D.3-D viewing may cause three common vision disorders for children

At sixty degrees below zero, Harry walked down the trail on a cold, gray day. Pure white snow and ice covered the earth for as far as he could see. This was his first winter in Alaska. He was wearing heavy clothes and fur boots, but he still felt cold and uncomfortable.
Harry was on his way to a camp near Henderson Creek where his friends were waiting. He expected to reach Henderson Creek by six o'clock that evening. It would be dark by then. He was refreshed when he realized his friends would have a fire and hot food ready for him. To make things better, there was a dog accompanying him on the journey.
The dog loved its owner but did not like the extreme cold. It knew the weather was too cold to travel. In spite of this bad situation, Harry with the dog continued to walk down the trail. He came to a frozen stream called Indian Creek. He began to walk on the snow-covered ice. It was a trail that would lead him straight to his friends.
As he walked, Harry looked carefully at the ice in front of him. Once, he stopped suddenly, and then walked around a part of the frozen stream. He saw an underground spring flowing under the ice at that spot. It made the ice thin. If he stepped there, he might break through the ice into a pool of water. To get his boots wet in such cold weather might kill him. His feet would turn to ice quickly and he would freeze to death.
At about twelve o'clock, Harry decided to stop to eat his lunch. He took off the glove on his right hand, opened his jacket and pulled out his food, which took less than twenty seconds. Yet, his fingers began to freeze.
Harry hit his hand against his leg several times until he felt a sharp pain. Then he quickly put his glove on his hand. He made a fire, beginning with small pieces of wood and adding larger ones. He sat on a snow-covered log and ate his lunch, enjoying the warm fire for a few minutes. Then he stood up and started walking on the frozen stream again.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, the ice broke suddenly and Harry's feet sank into the water.

Paragraph 2:
What's worse, his dog ran away and the fear of death came over Harry.

Paragraph 1:
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, the ice broke suddenly and Harry's feet sank into the water. It was not deep, but his legs got wet to the knees. Harry was so upset that the accident would delay his schedule. He had to find some firewood to build a fire to dry his clothes. He pulled off his gloves, took out his matches, and lighted the fire. Seeing the burning fire, he had thought he was safe. But suddenly, without warning, a heavy mass of snow dropped down. The flame of hope was put out.
Paragraph 2:
What's worse, his dog ran away and the fear of death came over Harry. He had no choice but to run to save himself. However, he did not feel his feet when they hit the ground. Having fallen several times, he decided to rest a while. As he lay in the snow, he noticed he was not shaking. He could not feel his nose or fingers or feet. A feeling of horror came into his mind. It was when he realized he was going to die that he heard a bark and the noise his friends made.
