24、 Bono, the lead singer of U2, a popular Irish rock band, once said that “music can change the world because it can change people.” This is what a group of music therapists(治疗专家) here are trying to do with autistic(自闭症的) children in Nepal. “Music therapy can be helpful to children with autism(自闭症). The greatest challenge is to build trust in the relationship between the therapist and the child,” Kendra Gandharba, a music therapist told Xinhua Wednesday as Nepal joined the world in celebrating Autism Awareness Day.
When Rahul was three years old, he was still unable to speak and to interact(互动) with people. It was only then that his mother realized that there was something wrong with her son. After talking with doctors she came to know that Rahul, now six years old, is an autistic child.
Experts(专家) believe that the autism spectrum disorder(自闭症谱系障碍) presents itself in the first three years. The condition is the result of a neurological(神经病学的) disorder that has an influence on usual brain function(功能). It influences social interaction and communication skills. Several studies suggest that children with autism show their feelings and take part in activities with others during music therapy lessons. Now there are 15 autistic children getting better from the power of music through the lesson every week in Nepal. “With music therapy we work on five developmental areas: communication, awareness, motor movement, social skills and feelings,” Gandharba, one of Nepal’s music therapists, explained.
In the music therapy room, Xinhua met Shyam as he sat in front of the keyboard. Smiling at the therapist, the 10-year-old boy started playing the keyboard. Playing and sharing instruments, taking part in music games and singing are just a few ways through which the therapist tries to interact with autistic children. Autistic children are free to pick the musical instrument of their choice.
Music therapy, however, is still at an embryonic stage in Nepal where autism remains a taboo(禁忌) in the country's rural areas(郊区). “In villages I have seen people with mental or physical disabilities being treated like animals,” Gandharba said, adding that efforts should be made to introduce music therapy in Nepal’s rural areas.
The organization, Autism Care Nepal(ACN), hosted different events on World Autism Awareness Day to educate, create awareness among parents about the rights of children with autism.
【1】What’s the greatest challenge for therapists to help autistic children by using music therapy?
A.To force them to talk with others. B.To play and share toys with autistic children.
C.To attract them to play music games. D.To make them willing to believe in therapists.
【2】The underlined word “embryonic” in the fifth paragraph probably means “____”.
A.early B.easy C.active D.amazing
【3】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The autistic children learn how to interact with each other during music therapy lessons.
B.The autistic children learn how to show their own feelings during music therapy lessons.
C.The music therapy can enable every autistic child to play musical instruments well.
D.The music therapy can improve the communication skills of children with autism.
【4】Which of the following is the main idea of this article?
A.Music can change the world because it can change people.
B.Music therapy may be useful to children with autism in Nepal.
C.Efforts should be made to introduce music therapy in rural areas.
D.Music therapists helped autistic children in Nepal with music therapy.

1. Always eating a different food in every single holiday. Even minor (较小的) holidays have their own special food. Chinese people like to eat dumplings during the Spring Festival and eat Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Day. And now we can have a one-day holiday on that day.
2. Giving hongbao, or red packets with money inside to family members younger than you. This is if you are of working age, otherwise you receive the hongbao from others. Parents often give a lot of lucky money to their children during Spring Festival. Then the children are very happy and often help their parents do some housework. This is very interesting, isn't it?

People often burn the paper money for them. The burning of money and gifts takes place everywhere. Chinese burn paper money to remember their family members.

27、① Many people believe that toys are mainly made for kids. When we grow up, we should put away such childish things.
②But now many grown-ups are getting them out again.
③ According to data from the market research firm NPD Group, toys bought by people over the age of 12 account for 23 percent of the European market. Among them, adults are still the main force. In 2019, Beijing’s Toy Show attracted tens of thousands of visitors, including many grown-ups.
④But why are adults interested in these seemingly “childish” things?
⑤Toys can “bring back happy childhood memories”, noted website SWNS Digital. Many adults are under a lot of pressure at home and at work. Items that they were familiar with in childhood can remind them of easier times.
⑥Rob Willner, 25, is one such person who finds solace in items from the past. At his home in London, he keeps two boxes of loose childhood Lego tucked away under a bed, as well as various large “sentimental” models on shelves in his house.
⑦When he comes home after a hard day, he often plays with the toys. “It reminds me of the playful side of life, but also helps me to keep perspective. Lego isn’t great, but it’s fun, and helps you to think about what’s really important,” he told The Telegraph.
⑧ There is another reason for the rise in popularity of toys among adults. This pastime offers pressure-free creativity. Even hobbies such as baking and painting can be shadowed by the worry that the results will fail to please other people. Dressing up a doll or playing with a model train set doesn’t come with a lot of pressure to please others.
⑨ It seems that adults are no longer taking their childhood freedom for granted. After all, just as UK artist David Hockney said, “Play is serious.”
【1】Why are toys popular among adults according to website SWNS Digital?
A.They don’t want to grow up at all.
B.Playing helps develop and improve social sill.
C.They want to get along well with their kids.
D.Toys can bring back positive memories.
【2】How does Rob Willner benefit from playing with toys after work?
A.It makes him more creative at work.
B.It helps him realize important things in life.
C.It makes him think more about the past.
D.It helps him connect with other people.
【3】What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?
A.The rising pressure to please others that adults face.
B.How playing with toys can increase creativity at work.
C.Another reason why adults love to play with toys.
D.The reason why young people don’t cook nowadays.
【4】The best title for the passage may be ________.
A.Remaining a Kid at Heart
B.Let’s Put Away Childish Toys
C.How to Go Back to Childhood
D.Adults Are Under Lots of Pressure
28、How do you feel about your looks? Is it important 【1】 have a beautiful face? Are there other things that can make a person special? The way you look is special.
Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or strange. But our differences are what make us special.
I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. He was born with 【2】 strange-looking face. His mother always worried 【3】 he would face many difficulties in life. But what Hoge did changed his mother's mind little by little. He sometimes 【4】 made fun of by strangers. But he didn't care about it 【5】 all. He decided to accept his face and feel confident.
It's hard when you feel you don't look "normal" or "perfect". But the truth is, no one is perfect. The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.
