25、 You may have wondered why there are fish tanks (at many doctor's and dentist's offices.Actually these medical professionals are trying to keep their working areas less stressful with the help of fish tanks.Because of the soft bubbling (冒泡声) from the fish tanks,their patients are expected to feel less nervous or worried when staying there.
The sound of running water can make people feel relaxed.For this reason,places where water keeps running are often considered good choices for people to have deep thoughts and stay relaxed in mind.Even a small tabletop fountain (喷泉) can make a workspace more relaxing.Unlike loud noises,repeated natural sounds remind us that everything is OK." These slow but soft sounds are just the ones that bring us no harm,"said Orfeu Buxton,a professor at Pennsylvania State University." It seems like they are saying,' Don't worry ;don't worry ;don't worry."
Besides bringing a sense of peace to your indoor space,a fountain can also prevent noises from coming inside.I recently had a small indoor fountain for my workspace.I enjoy the fountain even when I'm not working at home.
If you want to have an indoor fountain too,there are plenty of wonderful ones on sale,which may cost you a lot.You can try making one yourself,using some inexpensive materials,like I did.And you will always keep it around ---- 1,000 doctor's offices can't be wrong about the relaxing effects of running water.

26、阅读理解。
Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.
The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”
Last year, the Garbage-Men played at local events, including festivals, farmer’s markets. Typically, the teens set up on the street and performed popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles and crowd favorite “Wipe Out”. They talked about recycling and offered tips for how to improve the environment. While they were performing, Jack’s little brother Trent, 11, gave out leaflets about recycling and helped sell the band’s CDs and other musical products.
The band donated the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”
The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. They’ve also played on a Florida radio station. The teens hope to take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really close.” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isn’t.

A.Ollie Gray B.Trent Berry

It was 9:15 as Marie hurried into the office building; her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job.

Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office.

On March 14, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking(史蒂芬·霍金), the world-famous British scientist, p【1】away at 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking is considered by many to be the g【2】 scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe (宇宙) began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and will end in black holes. He also wrote books to help c【3】 people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time (《时间简史》), which has sold more than 10 million c【4】 around the world.
When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious illness that prevented him from w【5】and talking. B【6】 this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled (身体残疾), one c【7】 afford to be psychologically disabled(心理残疾) as well,” he once said.
He celebrated his s【8】 birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon; when he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel i【9】 space one day.
In 2013, Hawking spoke about h【10】 he felt life was unfair(不公平的)when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said.
29、 Imagine going to your doctor with frequent headaches.Your doctor takes a prescription pad(药方)and writes a word on it.The word isn't ‘aspirin', it's ‘Mozart'.

And there are other stories.Officials in Washington State report that new arrivals from Asia learn English more_______when they listen to Mozart.Even animals respond to Mozart.In France, cows listening to Mozart give more milk.
