21、No one has a temper naturally so good, that it does not need attention and cultivation, and no one has a temper so bad, but that, by proper culture, it may become pleasant. One of the best disciplined tempers ever seen, was that of a gentleman who was naturally quick, irritable, rash, and violent; but, by taking care of the sick, and especially of mentally deranged(疯狂的) people, he so completely mastered himself that he was never known to be thrown off his guard.
There is no misery so constant, so upsetting, and so intolerable to others, as that of having a character which is your master. There are corners at every turn in life, against which we may run, and at which we may break out in impatience, if we choose.
Look at Roger Sherman, who rose from a humble occupation to a seat in the first Congress of the United States, and whose judgment was received with great respect by that body of distinguished men. He made himself master of his temper and cultivated it as a great business in life. There are one or two instances which show this part of his character in a light that is beautiful.
One day, after having received his highest honors, he was sitting and reading in his sitting room. A student, in a room close by, held a lookingglass in such a position as to pour the reflected rays of the sun directly in Mr Sherman's face. He moved his chair, and the thing was repeated. A third time the chair was moved, but the lookingglass still reflected the sun in his eyes. He laid aside his book, went to the window, and many witnesses of the rude behavior expected to see the ungentlemanly student severely punished. He raised the window gently, and then—shut the window blind!
I can not help providing another instance of the power he had acquired over himself. He was naturally possessed of strong passions, but over these he at length obtained an extraordinary control. He became habitually calm and selfpossessed. Mr Sherman was one of those men who are not ashamed to maintain the forms of religion in their families. One morning he called them all together as usual to lead them in prayer to God. The “old family Bible” was brought out and laid on the table.
Mr Sherman took his seat and placed beside him one of his children, a child of his old age. The rest of the family were seated around the room, several of whom were now grownups. Besides these, some of the tutors of the college were boarders in the family and were present at the time. His aged mother occupied a corner of the room, opposite the place where the distinguished Judge sat.
At length, he opened the Bible and began to read. The child who was seated beside him made some little disturbance, upon which Mr Sherman paused and told it to be still. Again he continued but again he had to pause to scold the little offender, whose playful character would scarcely permit it to be still. At this time he gently tapped its ear. The blow, if blow it might be called, caught the attention of his aged mother, who now with some effort rose from the seat and tottered across the room. At length, she reached the chair of Mr Sherman, and in a moment, most unexpectedly to him, she gave him a blow on the ear with all the force she could gather. “There，” said she, “you strike your child, and I will strike mine.”
For_a_moment,_the_blood_was_seen_mounting_to_the_face_of_Mr_Sherman. But it was only for a moment and all was calm and mild as usual. He paused; he raised his glasses; he cast his eye upon his mother; again it fell upon the book from which he had been reading. Not a word escaped him; but again he calmly pursued the service, and soon sought in prayer an ability to set an example before his household which should be worthy of their imitation. Such a victory was worth more than the proudest one ever achieved on the field of battle.

22、In the traditional religions of Africa, life doesn’t end with death. 【1】 Some African groups believe these spirits dwell (栖居) underground in a world much like that of the living—but upside down. Other groups believe the sky is the permanent resting place of the dead. For instance, the Bushmen of southern Africa believe that the spirits of the dead go up to the sky and become stars.
Among the spirits, the ancestors comprise a special category of their own. 【2】 To become an ancestor is the best that one can hope for after death. However, not everyone who dies will turn into an ancestor. For one to become an ancestor, there are conditions to be fulfilled while the person is alive—living an upright life and fulfilling all social and religious duties, for example.
Many African groups believe that the spirits of ancestors remain near their living descendants as guardians of the family and their traditions. 【3】 But they punish people if certain ceremonies have not been performed properly or if there are some violations of community laws.
【4】 For example, the people of Buganda in present-day Uganda say that their first ancestor was Kintu, who came from the land of the gods and married Nambe, daughter of the king of heaven. Another example is the Dinkas of Sudan, who believe they are descended from Garang and Abuk, the first man and woman created by God as tiny clay figures in a pot. 【5】
A．As ancestors, they have some extra powers.
B．After death, humans continue to live on as spirits.
C．Ancestors have an indispensable significance for some Africans.
D．Some of the dead will become spiritual ancestors living in their descendants’ hearts.
E．Ancestor worship also plays a very significant role in the mythologies of some African peoples.
F．They help in times of trouble as long as their descendants perform proper rituals and pay them due respect.
G．For these Africans, the honored dead have become not only objects of worship but also subjects of tales and legends.
23、Research indicates that some orchestral(管弦乐的) instruments are in danger of dying out. YouGov research, asked by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) to find the most popular instruments among schoolchildren, has revealed the increasing popularity of the ukulele (尤克里里琴), with one in eight expressing a desire to learn, making it the highest ranked instrument behind the typical rock-band grouping of the guitar, piano, keyboards, drums and bass guitar.
But younger generations’ interest in “more complex instruments” is decreasing, with the three least popular being the French horn, the double bass and the trombone.
James Williams, managing director of the RPO, believed the changes reflect the increasing pressure schools are under to provide music education, and went on to say that more needs to be done to interest secondary school students in the wider range of instruments. His concern was for the composition of future orchestras , should the trend towards instruments like rock-band grouping be allowed to continue. But there may be yet another death, one that few would be quick to sorrow over: the recorder (竖笛).
Cheap, convenient, easy to learn, and suitable for individual and group performances, the recorder was once the go-to instrument for children’ s early musical education. But in many schools it has been replaced by the ukulele, which, for teachers, offers many of the same benefits with none of the lasting damage to hearing. Plus, from a student’s viewpoint: you can play Metallica on one.
Not all hope is lost for the cream-colored, 10-pound Yamaha recorder with a long history, however. About 13% of girls and 4% boys surveyed by YouGov said they wanted to learn the recorder.Surprisingly high! Unlikely as it may be, these children’s interest in the recorder must be inspired.
【1】What does YouGov research suggest?
A．Schoolchildren determine the popularity of music.
B．The ukulele is the most popular with students.
C．Students generally prefer rock-band instruments.
D．Orchestral instruments will disappear in the future.
【2】What can we do to save orchestral instruments according to Williams?
A．Stop teaching children to play rock and roll.
B．Find means to inspire students’ interest in them.
C．Spend much more school time on music education.
D．Offer free orchestral instruments to the public.
【3】Why has the ukulele replaced the recorder widely?
A．Because users can enjoy more advantages from it.
B．Because the music played on it is more appealing.
C．Because it is much cheaper and easier to learn.
D．Because it stands for the world’s music tendency.
【4】What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A．Many children choose recorders as expected.
B．It’s time for younger learners to save music.
C．We should respect children’s choices for instruments.
D．Recorders still have the potential for a bright future.
