What is a smile? Some people think it is the expression of the heart. I think it is a kind of language. It shows kindness and friendliness. It also shows that a person is happy. For example, a student may smile when he or she makes great progress in studies. Or a person may smile if a friend tells a funny joke. 【1】.

First, smiles are nice. People always try to look nice by exercising or wearing nice clothes. 【2】. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to stay with someone who is always unhappy.

【3】. Both smiling and laughing can easily and quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, others will laugh with him or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or a laugh. It is the easiest way to cheer someone up.

Finally, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, when you smile, it only takes 17 muscles(肌肉). But when you are sad, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. Also, smiling is very good for the body. 【4】. You’ll find that it will be difficult to stay sad for very long!

A．However, people often say a smile is the best thing a person can wear

B．Second, smiles have power

C．Of course, there are some other good reasons to smile

D．Even though you are sad, try smiling

26、My mom was badly ill and died on her 50th birthday. Though she tried her best to fight, she just couldn’t get over it.

My mom never took herself too seriously. She just wanted everyone to be happy, and we loved her for it. Even when I was upset with her for not letting me stay overnight with my friends, or when she expressed disappointment that I couldn’t bring my grades up, I still loved her so much. She respected my privacy (隐私). And if I ever needed to talk, she would leave her door wide open and listen to me carefully. She left us too soon, but she left her children with the memory of being loved. My mom wasn’t perfect. But I remember her as perfect, not because she did everything right, but because she tried to know me, to connect with me, and to always make me feel safe and loved.

Ten years after her death, I welcomed my own child into the world. At the beginning, I was just angry. Angry that this new person would never get to know her wonderful grandmother. Angry that I couldn’t pick up the phone and ask my mom how she dealt with this or that. I missed her love. I just missed her.

Later, I accepted and tried to change the situation. How can I give my daughter what my mom managed to give me? Could I be easygoing like her? Will my daughter feel as loved as I did?

Now, I see all of these things in myself, and in my daughter, and think to myself, “That’s mom.” I realize this, and I can almost see my mom smiling as if she were standing right there with me. And I smile too.

27、Music education hasn’t changed much since the 1970s. Students are still taught to read notation（乐谱）so they can recite compositions that they would never listen to on their MP3 players or play with friends. Playing music enriches life. The question is: Why do schools teach music in a way that turns off so many young people rather than catch their imagination? Can we do a better job of using the power of music to get kids excited about school?

The experience of an organization called Little Kids Rock suggests the answer is yes — if we change the way music is taught. Little Kids Rock has helped music programs in over a thousand public schools and served 150,000 children. The organization has given 30,000 free instruments out, mainly guitars, and trained 1,500 teachers to run music classes in which students quickly experience the joys of playing their favorite songs, performing in bands（乐队）, and writing their own music.

The key to Little Kids Rock is that it teaches children to play music the way many musicians learn to play it — not by notation, but by listening, imitation（模仿）and meaningful experimentation. “The knowledge you need to get started playing rock music is very limited,” explains Dave Wish, the founder of Little Kids Rock. “In high school, my friend Paul taught me a couple of chords（和弦）and my life was changed forever. On the first day of class, Little Kids Rock teachers place guitars in the hands of their students and get them practicing chords that will enable them to play thousands of songs. The kids decide what songs they want to learn and the class is off and running. Their progress is surprising. Within a year, eight and nine-year-olds are playing musical instruments, and giving concerts, even performing their own songs.

One of the biggest advantages that music offers is the ability to encourage students who are otherwise bored by school. “I’ve had students start coming back to school because of this program,” said Adkison Thomas, who heads up music for the Dallas Independent School District. He added, “One of the best things is that the teachers discover a new side of their students. They see kids become successful who weren’t before.”

【1】The expression “turn off” in Paragraph 1 means “______”.

A. make kids feel cool

B. make kids feel bored

C. make kids feel confident

D. make kids feel nervous

【2】How did Little Kids Rock help the school?

A. By writing music for kids.

B. By playing kids’ favorite songs.

C. By making instruments for school.

D. By training teachers for music classes.

【3】Little Kids Rock is successful because ______.

A. it encourages kids to experience music

B. it helps kids learn from great musicians

C. it allows kids to decide how to learn music

D. it offers musical programs all over the country

【4】What does the writer want to tell us?

A. Learning music is a good way to become successful.

B. Teaching in a proper way does good to students’ development.

C. It’s necessary for students to practice a lot in learning music.

D. It’s important for teachers to discover the new sides of students.

28、 Do you know Weibo? Do you write a Weibo? If you don't, you are "out"! Weibo means microblog. People may spend much time writing a blog, but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why?   【1】  .

Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009 and it has developed very fast. In 2011, the number of Chinese micro-bloggers grew to 300 million.  【2】  For many microblog users, it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information, including news, daily life, pictures, music and so on. Many stars and famous people also write microblogs and share good things with their fans.

It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog.  【3】  For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami (海啸) hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like " Salt can protect people from radiation" were hot on microblogs. 【4】 Later people realized it was just a rumor (谣言).

In a word, microblog plays a new role in the life of Chinese people.

【5】 Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Writing a microblog needs much time.

B. Microblog appeared in China only one year ago but it has developed very fast.

C. As a popular thing, microblog has its advantages and disadvantages.

D. More and more Chinese show great interest in microblog because it started in the USA.
