26、 In the middle of winter, when snow is falling in many parts of the United States，scientists have sounded a warning to people who plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer. The warming is: The sun's summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought.
A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of ozone in the atmosphere，which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach Earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.
Scientists first became concerned about the ozone layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused by chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone.
Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica. Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other populated areas in the world.
Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals.
【1】What do we know about the hole in the ozone layer?
A．It was first discovered in the 19th century.
B．It only appears in winters of a year.
C．It can protect human from ultraviolet rays.
D．It was caused by particular chemicals.
【2】Which can best describe scientists' attitude to the condition of ozone layer?
A．Worried.
B．Scared.
C．Favorable.
D．Surprised.
【3】Why do people become more concerned about ozone layer?
A．Because the weather became worse and worse.
B．Because they knew ozone levels were dropping.
C．Because air pollution caused more cancer cases.
D．Because ozone destroying chemicals were banned.
【4】We can infer that ________.
A．people may not get skin cancer in winters
B．it is unnecessary to totally ban the chemicals
C．many countries have realized the damage of the chemicals
D．the situation become less serious in the past few years
27、 Mother’s Day is a time for children, young and old, to show how much they appreciate their mothers. Mother’s Day started in the US, where it’s celebrated on the second Sunday in May. 【1】
It became an official US holiday in 1915. It was the result of the love of one girl, Anna Jarvis of West Virginia.【2】 As a girl, Anna helped her mother take care of the garden and filled it with white carnations (康乃馨), her mother’s favorite flower.
When Mrs. Jarvis died on May 5, 1905, Anna was determined to honor her. 【3】 On the same Sunday in Philadelphia, a minister honored Mrs. Jarvis and all mothers with a special Mother’s Day service. Anna Jarvis began writing to the government, asking them to set aside a day to honor all mothers. In 1910, the governor of West Virginia made the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day.
【4】 Other children give their mothers gifts that they’ve made themselves or bought from stores. Adults give their mothers red carnations, the official Mother’s Day flower. White carnations are placed on the graves of mothers who are no longer alive.
Mother’s Day is now celebrated in more than 40 countries, including Denmark, Finland, Italy, and Australia. 【5】 In France, Mother’s Day is the last Sunday in May. A cake in the shape of flowers is presented to mothers at a family dinner.
A.So why is it celebrated on different dates?
B.But do you know the origin of Mother’s Day?
C.Anna’s mother provided great support for the family.
D.But not all countries celebrate Mother’s Day at the same time.
E.The second Sunday in May was the Sunday closest to her mother’s death.
F.She asked the minister of her church to hold a special service in honor of her mother.
G.On the morning of Mother’s Day, some American children serve their mothers breakfast in bed.
28、How to revise for a test
Studying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school. 【1】 If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself, consider using the following suggestions to help you out.
Aim foremost to understand the concepts.
Keep the important points in mind, and ignore unnecessary information. 【2】
Ask for help.
When the need arises, it is best to receive help from the others. 【3】 You could also ask him/ her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information. You could also ask a family member or a friend for help.
Practice in everyday life.
Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them. 【4】 You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror, one at the table and another by the TV. This is optional but highly recommended.
【5】
Find out how much you remember certain things and what’s missing. Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in. This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time. For instance, if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry, then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at.
Review often but little.
Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day. Practice takes time and if you rush, you won’t remember anything.
A．Go through what you have been learning.
B．Mark your practice tests.
C．As long as you remain focused on the main topics, you will be able to do well on the test.
D．However, even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt.
E．It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study.
F．You will notice them every day and reviewing won’t seem to be boring or dull.
G．Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music
It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”
But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?
A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.
We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.
But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.
They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.
Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.
【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
