Why not give it a try Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument. The late musician Dennis
Brian is said to have asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started to practice.
Angie O’Edema ·42 minutes ago
I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t do to others
what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out loud
on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy(隐私)to finish his
conversation. He realized this and said sorry to me. When his phone rang again later, he left his seat to
answer it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.

Atticus was nearly fifty. He was much older than the parents of our classmates, and there was nothing Jem or I
could say about him when our classmates said, “My father—”
Our father worked in an office. He didn’t do anything that could possibly win the admiration of anyone. He
wore glasses. He was nearly blind in the left eye.
When he gave us our air-rifles (气枪), Atticus wouldn’t teach us to shoot(射击). Uncle Jack said Atticus wasn’t
interested in guns. Atticus said to Jem one day, “Don’t point that gun at anybody. Also remember it’s a sin (罪) to
kill a mockingbird（知更鸟）.”
That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
“Your father’s right,” she said. “Mockingbirds make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens.
They do nothing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
“What do you think of my father Is there anything he’s good at ”
“You’d be surprised if your father was thirty. You’d find he was quite different,” said Miss Maudie, “There’s
life in him yet.”
One Saturday, Jem and I decided to go exploring with our air-rifles to see if we could find a rabbit or a squirrel.
Suddenly we noticed an old dog. It hunched its shoulders（耸耸肩） and twitched its torso（身体抽动）. “There’s
something wrong with it.” We soon ran quickly back to tell Maudie. She quickly shut the wood door behind us. She
herself ran outside to tell others.
“Mad dog’s coming! Mad dog’s coming!” Maudie’s message had been received by the neighborhood.
Nothing is more terrible than a deserted(空旷的), waiting street. The trees were still, the mockingbirds were
silent. Everybody held their breath.
Atticus drove back quickly and got out.

In a fog, Jem and I watched our father take the gun and walk out into the middle of the street. He walked
quickly, but I thought he moved like an underwater swimmer: time had slowed to a nauseating crawl. Atticus rubbed
his eyes and chin; we saw him blink(眨眼)hard.
The rifle cracked. The dog fell onto the ground. It didn’t know what hit itself.
Jem was frozen.
“I saw that, One-Shot Finch (神枪手)!” Neighbours cried.
“Forgot to tell you the other day that Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in his time.” Miss Maudie laughed.
When we went home, I told Jem we’d really have something to talk about at school on Monday.
51. According to the passage, what do you think of Atticus
A. modest and brave B. weak but friendly C. energetic and humorous D. gentle but boring
52. Why was Jem frozen when the dog fell onto the ground
A. He was afraid the dog hadn’t died yet. B. He was surprised Atticus could shoot.
C. He was worried about Atticus’s safety. D. He was afraid of being hurt by the dog.
53. What’s the best title for the passage
A. An Awful Day B. The Mad Dog C. Our Perfect Father D. One-Shot Finch

If English means endless new word, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong.
Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your
brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter(神经灰质).This is the area of
the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles（肌肉）.
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is.
A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only
spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before
the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a
second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second
language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has studied the link between bilingualism and
maths skills carefully. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more
flexible（灵活的), he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different
ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second
language between 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and understanding were all tested.The results showed that the
younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,”
explained the scientists.
54. The last sentence of the second paragraph wants to ________ .
A. say language learning is also a kind of physical labor
B. show the importance of using it when you learn a language
C. make people believe language learning helps gray matter work well
D. prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language
55. The underlined word “bilinguals” probably means________ .
A. active language learners B. researchers on language learning
C. people who can speak two languages D. people who are good at learning foreign languages
56. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________ .
A. language learning and maths study B. science on learning a second language
C. man's ability of learning a second language D. that language learning can help brain power

57. We may know from the scientific findings that________.
A. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
B. the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brain

D. there is no difference between one who learns a second language learner and one who doesn't

Pillows have been used in China for thousands of years. It is interesting to explore what ancient Chinese
people used as pillows. Let’s discover more.
According to historical records, the development of pillows in China can be understood through different
materials such as stone, wood, bamboo, copper, cotton, and silk. Stone and wooden pillows appeared earliest in
history.
The earliest pillow discovered in China is a wooden one from a Chu state tomb,in the Warring States Period,
in Jiangling City of Hubei Province. It has simple decorations.
Silk pillows appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. From the Warring States Period on, hard and soft pillows
became the two main types of sleeping aids.
Porcelain (瓷 ) pillows were the most widely used in ancient China. They were first produced in the Sui

Dynasty, became popular in the Tang Dynasty, and experienced a flourishing period in the Song Dynasty. The Song
Dynasty reached a high level of porcelain pillow production. There is a famous porcelain pillow made in the Ding
kiln (定窑) during the Northern Song Dynasty. The pillow is shaped like a baby lying in a prone (俯卧的) position
on the bed. It is completely covered with white glaze, displaying a slightly yellow color and a smooth texture. As one
of the representative works of that period, the pillow is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing now.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, porcelain pillows became less and less popular, gradually giving way to
the preference for softer pillows. Various materials such as cloth, cotton and leather were used. Some cloth pillows
were decorated with embroidered (刺绣的) patterns on the surface.
Today, Chinese pillows continue to be made with great care, combining traditional designs with modern
materials, to make sure a comfortable sleeping experience.
