You might feel anxious if a coworker asks you to grab lunch or a classmate invites you to a library study session. 【4】 Though you may not always be in the mood to socialize, you'll most likely find yourself having a great time once you get there.

27、 Florence, a 17-year-old senior student in High School, was busy ,composing(编曲)a song. She plans to release an album(唱片)with three other music lovers whom she met at the 2016 Campus Singing Competition. Edward, 18, is another one of the four students to make their own album. Actually, he was the one who came up with this fun idea in the first place.
"Everyone loves music. Being a good way to express our feelings and emotions, music can tell something about who we are and our experience of the world. We hope we can use our music to touch our peers(同龄人)." Edward said.
The album includes 15 songs across three themes - love, campus life, and youth, with pop and electronic music styles. The inspiration for the songs came from the students' lives. Take the song Sea of Tranquility for example - it was written by Edward during a flight back to Chengdu after he took part in the China High School Biology Olympiad in summer. "The sky is clear and the ground looks small from the plane. This scene makes me feel calm and peaceful." Edward explained.
The songs were created one by one with the efforts of the four writers. But a challenge soon appeared. The students found that they didn't have enough money to produce the album. So to cut down their budget, they used an iPad and headphones to record the songs in an empty classroom on the weekend.
Apart from reducing their cost, they also tried to raise money through crowd funding on the internet. They raised more than 7,000 dollars before the album was released in October. "Thanks to all the supporters, we'll keep working on our own music." Edward said.
【1】Why did they make the album?
A.To earn money. B.To be famous.
C.To influence young people. D.To make friends.
【2】Which of the following best describes Edward and his music team?
A.Upset. B.Stubborn.
C.Generous. D.Determined.
【3】What was the problem when they produced the album?
A.Short of money. B.Disagreement on the theme.
C.Stress from teachers. D.Poor abilities on making music.
【4】What's the best title of the text?
A.Album Collections B.Student Musicians
C.Theme Music D.School Life
28、 There is a new type of animal that has been walking on the beaches since the 1990s. They are called Strandbeast, which is Dutch language for beach beast. But these beasts are mainly made of plastic tubes and wood. They are creations of a Dutchman Theo Jansen, who designs kinetic sculptures (雕塑). Jansen's creations look alive when they do a steady and smooth motion on the hard sand. They can push themselves forward using nothing more than the power of the wind. The beauty of these creations is that they have no electronic parts, and yet they have a basic logic system that helps them walk in their habitat.
Jansen's kinetic sculptures use an revolutionary design to change simple motions into amazing works of art. The Strandbeasts have a mechanical linkage (连杆) that creates a walking motion using triangles. The fascinating combination of thin tubes and fine fin—like (鱼鳍般的) sails which flap in the wind create a striking image. Jansen has even created a way for his beasts to “eat” the air, and store its power by pressurizing bottles (增压瓶). This stored power also allows for sculptures to recognize when they have entered water and change their direction.
These sculptures are large but have a fine appearance. Besides, Jansen's designs also work with heavier structures. He created a beast, named Animaris Rhinoceros Lignatus, which was made out of wood and weighed 250 kilograms. Every year, he improves his designs. His hope is that one day he will create herds of beasts that can "live" on the beaches and survive without the help of humans.
Kinetic art isn't just about making large sculptures move. There are many artists that use motion to create amazing visual effects. Some are large pieces, but many can sit on a desk or hang on a wall. However, they all have one thing in common: you can't appreciate their artistry until you see them move. Jansen also sells mini versions of some of his beasts. They come in kits (成套零件) that you can fit them together without any special tools. You, too, can try your hand at creating kinetic art!
【1】What does the animal mentioned in paragraph1 refer to?
A．A movable sculpture.
B．A plastic sculpture.
C．A creation of wind.
D．A forest animal.
【2】What aspect of the kinetic sculptures is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The beautiful appearance.
B．The designer.
C．The design principle.
D．The stored power.
【3】Why are kinetic sculptures fine arts?
A．They are some sort of life form.
B．Ordinary people can create them.
C．They have large but soft structures.
D．Their motion gives people a pleasure for their eyes.
【4】What do we know about Theo Jansen?
A．He is a stubborn designer.
B．He loves doing woodwork.
C．He's a successful salesman.
D．He's an imaginary and ambitious artist.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a very exciting day for my sister and me. As soon as our dad got home, he was going to give us a special gift. It wasn’t our birthday or anything; our dad had just felt like getting us something special.
The car pulled up, and Dad got out carrying a large bag. He walked up to the door and handed us the bag. Mindy and I looked into the bag together and pulled out the most beautiful red purses we’d ever seen, one for Mindy and one for me.
“I love it!” I said, as I gave my dad a big kiss. Mindy did the same. Mindy always copied me. We had our new purses, but they were empty. Mindy wanted to put something in them — something exciting. So we looked around the house to see what we could find. We couldn’t find much until we walked into our mom and dad’s bedroom. I looked inside one of Dad’s dresser drawers and found what looked like a lot of money.
“Mindy, look what I found!” She came running,“What, what is it?” I pointed inside the drawer. “It’s money. We can stick all this money inside our new red purses.” Mindy looked confused. “That’s mom and dad’s money. We can’t take that.”
I started to put the money into my purse, and Mindy copied me. Our purses were as stuffed as could be. We ran out of our parents’ room and headed for ours. “Let’s hide our purses in our dresser drawer,” I said. As soon as we did this, I heard a loud yell (喊叫). “Honey, our money is missing,” my mother shouted. My dad was frantic (发狂的), and I could hear him pacing downstairs. “I know I put the money in our drawer. Where could it be?”
I heard footsteps coming up the stairs toward our room. Soon, both our parents were standing in front of us.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

“Did you happen to find some money?” my father asked.
