Learn in your learning style. Everyone has different ways of learning. Actually, there are several distinct styles with which people usually process information, including aurally, verbally, visually and physically. 【4】
Make a study agreement with friends.

22、You may have heard about Amadeus Mozart, a classical composer from the 18th century. But have you ever heard about the Mozart effect?
The Mozart effect first came to be known to the public in 1993. A study published in the journal Science found that children who listened to Mozart’s music, for ten minutes showed a clear improvement in spatial (空间的) reasoning tests than those who listened to other sounds that can help people relax. Another study also examined the long-term effects of Mozart on the brains of kids. A group of 3- to 4-yeard-old kids were given music lessons for six months. After the lessons, the performance of the kids on a spatial reasoning test saw 30 percent improvement as compared to children who undertook other training or no training at all for that long.
As a result of these studies, the popularity of Mozart’s music has grown. Some schools in the US started to play Mozart to children, and it even led the southern state of Georgia to provide babies with free Mozart CDs. And the findings further showed the importance of music in the cognitive development of children.
Now we know the Mozart effect shows playing Mozart benefits brain development. But how does that happen? The classical music pathways in the brain and the neural (神经的) trails we use for spatial reasoning are quite alike. When we listen to classical music or learn to play this kind of music, especially Mozart’s music, the spatial pathways in the brain are stimulated (刺激) and prepared for use. This makes the mind more active, leading to more intelligence.
As parents, you do not need to wait until your kid is in primary school to start music lessons. Most children between the age of four and five are ready to start learning the basics of music. Early intervention (干预) can help your baby grow into a smart adult, besides improving his or her academic performance and life skills.
【1】What can we learn about children listening to Mozart’s music?
A．They show great interest in creating music.
B．They could perform spatial tasks better.
C．They find his music difficult to understand.
D．They could hold their attention much longer.
【2】The author introduces the Mozart effect mainly by ________.
A．explaining data
B．stating arguments
C．providing research results
D．analyzing experts’ words
【3】Why is classical music beneficial to brain development?
A．It makes the mind calm and clear.
B．It fixed some damage to neural trails.
C．It helps awaken some hidden memories.
D．It causes the brain’s spatial pathways to start to work.
【4】What are parents advised to do to help their children be smart adults?
A．Train children to form good learning habits.
B．Develop an interest in music themselves.
C．Perform music with children as much as possible.
D．Get children to start music lessons early on.
23、 Yousuf and his family left their home in eastern Afghanistan eight years ago. They went to the city of Kabul to escape war, but they could not escape sadness. Five of Yousuf's children died in the Afghan capital, not from violence, but from air pollution.
Kabul has become one of the most polluted cities in the world. On many days, a mix of smog and smoke lies over the city. In some cases, families burn whatever they can to keep warm in cold weather. The air in their own homes then poisons them. Many years of war have worsened the damage to Afghanistan's environment. At the local Children's Hospital, doctors say they have seen the number of patients with pollution-related health problems increase. Saifullah Abassin, a doctor at the hospital, says his hospital ward(病房) can hold 10 patients but often has three times that number.
“Thirty years ago, it was a wish for people to come to Kabul and breathe its air,” said Ezatullah Sediqi, deputy director for the National Environmental Protection Agency. “But in the wars since, we lost all our urban infrastructure(基础设施) for water, electricity, public transportation, green areas, all these things.”
Kabul's environmental department has started a program to control old vehicles, one major source of pollution. City officials have called on people to use fuel instead of burning garbage for heat. But there are other steps officials need to take, such as passing a plan to stop unplanned development and creating more green spaces.
【1】What made Yousuf and his family leave their home?
A.War. B.Sadness. C.Violence. D.Air pollution.
【2】What is NOT the cause of Afghanistan's environment problem?
A.Burning garage. B.Creating green spaces.
C.Using old vehicles. D.Losing urban infrastructure.
【3】In which part of the newspaper may this text appear?
A.Education. B.Environment. C.Science. D.Culture.
24、Last year we visited Stratford, the place where Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April, 1564.
Stratford is a very interesting town, right in the center of England. The countryside around Strutford is pleasant, with its beautiful woods, green fields and quiet rivers.
The first place we visited was the house in the center of Stratford where Shakespeare was born. We saw the small desk that Shakespeare sat at when he went to school. One of the things we liked best was the garden behind the house, because we could see there many of the flowers, trees and plants that Shakespeare wrote about in his plays.
After we had visited Shakespeare’s birthplace, we went to see the church where he was buried.
We had lunch in a very old hotel that was probably there in Shakespeare’s time. Every room of the hotel had the name of one of Shakespeare’s plays on the door—the “Hamlet” room, the “Romeo and Juliet” room, and so on.
After lunch we walked across the fields to the old cottage, about a mile out of Stratford, where Shakespeare spent most of his married life. The cottage is just as it was in Shakespeare’s day. We saw the chairs where Shakespeare perhaps sat and thought about ideas for new plays, and we saw the plates from which he probably ate his dinner.
When we got back to our hotel in the evening, we were very tired but we had enjoyed a wonderful day.
