24、 For his seventh birthday, Rashard was given a gift that would define his life. His father took him to a music store and told Rashard he could pick out any instrument he wanted. There was just one requirement. Rashard would have to promise he would learn to play.
To that point, Rashard had not had much interest in music. Rashard was far more interested in playing video games or occasionally baseball with his friends. He had never once thought about playing an instrument. It was hard for him to pick one on his birthday.
Not knowing where to start, Rashard wandered the music store. In the front of the store, he saw all the pianos. Though Rashard’s family did not live in poverty, he knew they were also not rich. He knew that a piano was too expensive, so he walked past the piano room. Next, he found a wall filled with brass instruments. There was a tuba, a saxophone, a trumpet, and something he could not tell. The salesman said it was a French horn. Rashard was not interested in any of those either, because he did not want to put his mouth on anything. He moved on to the large room filled with acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and basses. The salesman invited him to try out one of the guitars, but the only problem was that Rashard’s hands were too small to fit around the neck of the instrument!
Realizing he would not be able to play a guitar, Rashard moved into the next room of the music store. There, he found stringed instruments other than guitars. He picked up a violin, and he realized it was the perfect size for his small hands!
Rashard kept his promise to his dad. He took lessons at the very same store he bought the violin, and he continues to play it as an adult.
Though Rashard has since bought nicer violins, he always remembered the first one his father bought for him. It was easily the most important gift Rashard ever received. As his father put it, “The gift of music is better than any video game you wanted when you were seven.”
【1】Which of the following words or phrases would best introduce the last sentence in paragraph2:“It was hard for him to pick one on his birthday.”?
A.Besides B.However C.Because of this D.Even so
【2】Based on its use in paragraph 3, the underlined word poverty means being short of________.
A.patience B.wisdom C.money D.talent
【3】Rashard’s decision to take the violin was most strongly influenced by ________ .
A.the price of the violin B.the size of the violin
C.the difficulty of playing the violin D.the sound the violin made
【4】Rashard saw each of the following instruments at the music store EXCEPT________ .
A.a guitar B.a viola C.a tuba D.a piano
【5】It can be inferred from the passage that Rashard’s father________ .
A.played the violin B.did not like video games C.was wealthy D.valued music
25、 What is the difference between a fear and a phobia? You might have a fear of dogs if you have ever been bitten by one. However, if you avoid walking down streets where you think there might be a dog, you may have a phobia, which is a strong unnatural fear. If the fear has started to change a person’s life, he or she probably has a phobia. Different surveys say that between 10 and 80 percent of us have at least one phobia.
You can probably guess what some of the most “popular” phobias are. Flying may be the safest way to travel, but many people are scared of doing it. Fear of heights is also very common. For example, Spider-Man actor Tobey Maquire can’t stand high places. However, Tobey is not afraid of spiders that most people are afraid of. Rupert Grint, who plays in the Harry Potter movies, is in fear of spiders. “In one scene of the movie, we come into the large spider’s hole, and there we meet a spider that is the size of an elephant and really scary because he has these hairs. I’m really scared of spiders,” he said.
Some people have phobias that are more unusual. For example, cats are very cute for most of us, but not for such powerful people in history as Alexander the Great and Napolean Bonaparte. Actor Nicole Kidman says, “I’m not scared of snakes or spiders, but I’m scared of butterflies. Sometimes when I came home from school, the biggest butterfly you had ever seen would be just sitting on our front gate. I would climb over the fence, move slowly to the side of the house, or do anything to avoid having to go through the front gate.” Clowns (小丑) are not so funny for actor Johnny Depp, whose childhood memory of the “painted faces and fake smiles” still makes him scared. Some other weird (怪诞的) phobias, including chewing gum, old doors or windows and footsteps, also fear some famous persons, such as Orah Winfred, Billy Bob and Sigmund Fred.
【1】Rupert Grint who acted in Harry Potter is scared of________ .
A.dogs B.snakes C.spiders D.butterflies
【2】Which of the following behaviors can be a phobia for these persons?
A.Cathy dislikes keeping a pet cat at home.
B.Victor cannot sleep well before the exams.
C.Linda feels very tired climbing the mountains.
D.Doris shouts crazily whenever hearing footsteps at night.
【3】We can infer (推断) from the passage that________ .
A.people are born with phobias B.phobias are common in our daily life
C.famous people are easier to get phobias D.phobias do not influence people’s life at all
26、If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.
【1】Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.
A.he can’t read or write
B.he doesn’t use his memory
C.his parents haven’t a good memory
D.he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time
【2】If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______.
A.you can’t use them any more
B.they will become stronger
C.they become weak but they slowly become strong again
D.they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again
【3】Which of the following is TRUE ?
A.Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs
B.Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice
C.Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory
D.A good memory comes from less practice
【4】Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.
A.his own fault
B.his parents’ fault
C.his teachers’ fault
D.his grandmother’s fault
