24、If music makes you smart and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a person who is better at learning and understanding.

A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers. They found that persons who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better in language ability (能力) tests than without music.

The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled（加倍) after listening to the music during exercise. “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system（神经系统）and have a direct result on learning ability,” said the psychologist Charles Emery. Scientists have found that music can be good for health and education. It helps relieve stress, sadness and nervousness, encourages relaxation or sleep, wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.

Psychologists have been using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders（言语能力紊乱). Mozart is often chosen because his music is not only exciting. A study showed students who often exercise to Mozart’s music go on to score higher marks in tests. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.

【1】What does the underlined word “relieve” mean in Chinese?

A．加强

B．减轻

C．提高

【2】How many great musicians are mentioned in the passage?

A．Two

B．There

C．Four.

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Students should not listen to music before exams.

B．Children are supposed to follow their parents’ words.

C．Music may help students to get higher grades in tests.

【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Students can improve their studies greatly after exercising to music.

B．Music usually makes people too excited to go to sleep.

C．Exercising without music seems to cause many negative changes.

【5】Which is the BEST title for this passage?

A．Scientists suggest great music.

B．Exercising to music makes you smarter.

C．Volunteers listened to Mozart’s violin pieces.

25、You may never be in an emergency situation. But if it happens, you should know how to get help. The telephone book in the United States has emergency numbers on the inside front cover. Look at the following table from the Boston telephone book. Notice that the numbers for the police and the fire department (部门) are the same. And it is an easy number to remember. If you are too unhappy or excited to remember any numbers at all, you can simply dial (拨打) “0” for an operator (接线员) in any emergency.

【1】If you see a fire in Cambridge, you should dial _________.

A. 023-1500 B. 846-1212   C. 645-1212   D. 876-5800

【2】If you dial “0”, ________ will answer your call.

A. the police  B. the doctor

C. the operator D. the fire department

【3】 This passage is most probably taken from _________.

26、I remember my first fire. I was the second volunteer on the scene, so there was a pretty good chance I was going to get in.

When I found the captain, he was having a conversation with the homeowner in a hurry. She was surely having one of the worst days of her life. Here it was, the middle of the night, she was standing outside in the pouring rain, under an umbrella, without shoes, while her house was in fire.

The other volunteer who had arrived just before me – let’s call him Lex Luther- came first and was asked to go inside and save the homeowner’s dog.

Well, I was next. The captain waved me over. He said, “Bezos, I need you to go into the house. I need you to go upstairs and I need you to get this woman a pair of shoes. “So, not exactly what I was hoping for, I went-up the stairs, down the hall, past the ‘real’ fire fighters, who were pretty much done putting out the fire at this point, into the master bedroom to get a pair of shoes.

Now I know what you’re thinking, but I’m no hero. A few weeks later, the department received a letter from the homeowner thanking us for the valiant effort displayed in saving her home. The act of kindness she noted above all others: someone had even got her a pair of shoes.

So as I look around this room at people who either have achieved, or are on their way to achieving, remarkable levels of success, I would offer this reminder don’t wait. Don’t wait until you make your first million to make a difference in somebody’s life. If you have something to give, give it now.

Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody’s life, but every day offer us an opportunity (机会) to affect one. So get in the game. Save the shoes.

【1】Who was Bezos? ________.

A．A volunteer

B．The captain

【2】Why does the writer say “but I’m no hero”? Because ________.

【3】Which of the following sayings is similar to “Save the shoes”? ________.

A．Do as the Romans do

B．Do it now

C．Do you would be done by

D．Do well and have well

27、On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.

Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”

Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”

Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.

While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.

You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.

【1】The writer would have a short conversation with the homeless man when   .

A. she waited for the red light to turn

A. Because she was criticized by the boss.

B. Because a new job was offered to her.

【3】What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage?

B. He usually smiled and waved at others.

C. He had a deep impression on the writer.

D. He felt joyful only when money was offered to him.

【4】The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because .

A. he had collected a lot of money

B. he wanted to pay back her

C. he knew what she experienced

D. he wanted her to be happy

【5】The writer learned from the story that .

A. a dollar bill will be enough to make you happy

B. each of us has been blessed all the time

C. whenever it is, we should choose to help others

D. it is more than money that brings us happiness

28、It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class, or maybe she is just sick at home for the day. Break or lunchtime can be lonely without her.   【1】 , but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like that everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there is always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom—think about which one you would like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile and be friendly. Offer to share something or offer greetings. Invite someone to play with you or say—“Do you want to sit here?” in the lunch time. 【2】  , walk over to the ones you want to play with, and say, “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.

【3】  , or if you are feeling shy, ask your teachers to help you to make new friends. Teachers are usually good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend.  【4】 . As a result, you’ll soon have one, or two, or even more new friends.

You might still miss the special best friend.  【5】 , you can share something you didn’t have before she left. You can introduce her to your new friends!
