She told me if every time I got angry with you， I should just keep quiet and crochet(编织) one doily.”The old man was so moved because only two doilies were in the box. He thought she had only been angry with him twice in all those years. “My dear，” he said，“but what about all the money？ Where did it all come from？”“Oh，” she said，“that's the money I made from selling the doilies.

About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for am usics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feel like be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social lonelines s. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ”No, thanks. I’m amusic.’” says Margret.28. Amusics are the people who _________.A. like musicB. are born unable to enjoy musicC. don’t like musicD. have poor listening29. Life is hard for amusics mainly because _________.A. music seems noise for them.B. amusics hate parties, restaurants or shopping center.C. amusics try to stay at places full of musicD. people don’t understand a musics30. What causes amusics different from most people according to scientists?A. Their lack of colors.B. Their poor hearing.C. Their brains.D. Their problems with speech.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Some people’s in ability to enjoy music.B. Mu sical ability.C. Amusics’ strange behaviors.D. Identification and treatment of amusic.DWe try to give our children so much but sometimes forget to give them the greatest gift, the ability to feel grateful (感激的). Without that, we can never give them enough. Gratitude(感激) can be expressed for anything---the sight of beautiful clouds, our warm home, or a nice meal.Many of our own parents tried to make us feel grateful by pointing out the hungry children in some far-off land. This often resulted in us offering to send those children the unpleasant clothes or ugly tennis shoes. Just have a look around us, we know how this happened. All around are material things that they (and we) are led to b elieve we must have—that we have a right to have.The most important is simply being an example of being grateful for the things in our own lives. In my work as a school psychologist, a mother with a 9-year-old came to see me for help. We worked out a way to teach him to feel gratitude---but not to say how fortunate he was. She started by talking about what had gone on in her day that she was grateful for: a friend who praised her work or the quiet evening without too much washing. Then she asked him if anything good happened in his day. He got the idea, shared a few things, and it soon became a habit.So along with all the things on the wish lists, we can add another one: gratitude. It might even help to start by letting our kids know that, regardless of(不管) their appearance, their scores, or their abilities, they are a source (来源) of gratitude in our lives.32. According to the author, gratitude______.A. may come from everyday lifeB. should come first on the wish listsC. is more important th an kids’ scoresD. must be taught by teachers in school33. Paragraph 2 is mainly about_______.A. the situation of children in poor areasB. the skill of choosing and sending giftsC. the difference between right and wrongD. the reason for children’s feeling ungrateful34. The story of the 9-year-old boy is mainly to show that_____.A. parents should teach their children to forget bad things in lifeB. parents should set an example to children to feel gratefulC. parents should tell their children how lucky they areD. parents should praise their children quite often35. In which part of a website can we probably find the text?A. News.B. Jobs.C. Family.D. Arts.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。
