AThe arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musicalexperience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attentionand following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music.Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides studentswith a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students,but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a bandinstead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children'smusic instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a schoolband, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievementand success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it letskids practice performing in front of an audience.

They havespecial animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almostevery kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars amonth on animal food. When you visit people's houses, they would be very gladto show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find thatalmost every family has a feeding place for birds in their garden. All kinds ofbirds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come andgo and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law againstkilling wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished.

Working out of yourhome is a mixed blessing, though. If you are facing a decision of whether ornot to take a job with a 10-second commute (行程), take a look at a few pros and cons of working at home.Pros●You are free to do as you please.●There is no commute.●No one looks over your shoulder.●If you are married or have children at home, this type of worksituation could be especially convenient for youCons●You are the only person around all day, so there is no outside pressureto be busy.●Working at home can be dirty and can take up a whole spare roomin your home.●You don ’t have enough chances to communicate with your co-workers,so it is more difficult to find out about new projects you might be interested in.●There is a danger of putting in too many hours or overworking.Tips for working at homeWorking out of your home can be a great solution for certain people. I have worked in an office and in my own study, and I think it takes special discipline(纪律 ) to work at home. You need to ask yourself,“Does this work style fit in with what I want and how I am most productive?”If you do work at home, it is important to remember:●Go to the main office often. Report back often and let your boss knowyou are alive and productive.●Treat your study (or wherever you work) like a real office. Close the doorat 6 p.m. and don’ t open it until you are beginning work the next morning.●Get dressed as you would for work and be consistent with your hours.28.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 shows that ________.A.working in the office has advantages and disadvantagesB.God bless you when you work out of your homeC.working in the office is a complicated thingD.working out of your home will not be blessed29.We can infer from the passage that ________.A.you can do what you like when you work out of the officeB.you have no outside pressure to be busy if you work at homeC.no one will always order you to work harder if you work at homeD.it is very boring and is not productive when you work at home30.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A.A single man will not be allowed to work at home.B.You can ’t recognize your co-workers when you work at home.C.It ’s dangerous if you are allowed to work alone out of your officeD.It ’ s not easy to get the information you want when working at home.31.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Working at Home is Right or Wrong?B. My Experience of Working at HomeC. The Pros and Cons of Working at HomeD. Working at Home or in the Office?DIn a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a descriptionis given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problemsworried an individual, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry o ut the plan and solve the problems secretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helperswould stand by privately, contented with their success. No reward was givento the problem solvers, not even a sincere“ Thank you” , because they were never known.This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase“pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the personbeing helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them.So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to helpsomeone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is the sense ofresponsibility that makes us want to give back in equal measure to the onewho has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She maytell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone wholoves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use hermoney to get a good education.You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not onlygave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you shouldalso help other people who need it.People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who needbetter clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly peoplewho can’ t afford their medicine or a doctor’ s care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.32.

From the passage we know that ________.A. it costs a lot of money to“ pay it forward”B. children need more help than elderly peopleC. nowadays everybody needs helpD. nowadays many people help others without being repaid35.By writing the passage, the author wishes people in the world to be________.A. unselfishB. mysteriousC. honestD. unforgettable第二节(共5小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
