24、   I am a girl called Yuan Ningfei from Beijing. Now I live in London and I’m a student at City of London School for Girls. In my school, music is not just for people who play an instrument. It is for everyone.           

We have music lessons once every week. Not everyone plays a musical instrument, but everyone is expected to learn a little bit about music. After all, it is never too late to pick up an instrument. During our lessons, we learn about musicians like Beethoven and Schumann. We not only listen to the music they composed (作曲), but also learn about their personal history.

 We have concerts each grade. And it’s not just musicians who take part in our concerts. Everyone can take part! The students play the main role. Teachers give non-musicians some simple percussion (打击乐器) instruments because they’re easier to play. When I was in Grade 7, my classmates and I performed（表演） for our parents. I have a few friends who don’t play music. But they played these percussion instruments for that concert. I asked them what it felt like. One of my friends said, “It made me feel confident even if I didn’t think I could be there!” 

Except the concerts, we have many other musical activities as well. Last month, I took part in the Young Musician of the Year Competition, which was organized (组织)by my school this year. I played the piano and won an award (奖项). I felt like I was a star performer onstage. I was so proud!

We all love music, and we believe music is an important part of life and that everyone should have the right to enjoy it.

25、   Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.

I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.

It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.

When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!

26、   Now and then we get ill. Then we usually go to a doctor. Doctor knows a lot about what can makes us ill. They may give us some medicine to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. A sick person does not get well. The pain will not go away. This happened to Jimmy. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor (幽默). He saw funny films. He read funny books. And then something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so, too.

Another man, Mario, was ill. And he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctor could not stop it. So the man began to “picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it was a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!

These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So visit the “doctor” inside your own head and you can stay happy and well.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

【1】Medicine can make sick people well again all the time.

【2】Jimmy’s new “doctor” was his own sense of humor.

【3】Films and books were Jimmy’s best medicine.

【4】Mario had a sore back and the doctor couldn’t stop it.

【5】Visiting the “doctor” inside our own head can make us happy and well.

27、   The Earth is faced with a serious power problem now and all of us are affected by it. Should we leave everything to the government, or can we do something to save power? The answer is clear: if not us, who? Let us look at how you can save power at home.

Computer: More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors (显示屏) even after we have shut down our computers. And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start doing this even when at work. You will help save some of the earth’s important power.

Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest that you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to put it at too-high or too-low temperatures. This helps you save lots of power.

Washers: Do you use your washing machine as frequently as you wish? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not many clothes to wash? Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time.

Television: Unplug (拔出插头) the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power.

Fridge: Do you always put hot food into the fridge? Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the fridge. You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime. Thus, you don’t need to heat it.

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A little happy dog learned of this place and decided 【1】(visit).

When he arrived, he ran happily up the stairs. He looked through the doorway 【2】 his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as he 【3】. He found himself staring at 1000 other happy dogs with their 【4】(tail) wagging just as fast as his. Then he smiled a great smile, and to his great 【5】(surprised), was answered with 1000 great smiles. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “【6】 wonderful! I will come back and visit it often.”
