His talent and charm have made him the No.1Chinese classical artist in the world. And he played in the grand Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008, watched by a TV audience of 5 billion.
Lang Lang, 26, is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world's top orchestras (管弦乐队），making his first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student.
Lang's charm and fondness make him a natural fit to represent China's new international image. According to the British newspaper the Times, "The Lang Lang effect" drives 36 million Chinese children to learn the piano.
Now in China, children are learning Chopin and Western orchestras are playing sold-out tours across Chinese cities. But can China ever introduce its own music to the West? Lang is trying. His cooperation（合作） with the London Symphony Orchestra this month includes a performance of Dragon Songs, an album of traditional Chinese classics.
Behind the success , however, is a surprising story of a gifted child. Lang grew up with his father's own musical ambition(抱负) and high expectations. It is not hard to imagine how boring it must be to practice the piano every day. Lang said that he once hated his hands and the piano. He got his right hand hurt six years ago and had to rest. "That was the best month," he says.
25. What is the main reason why Lang Lang is the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world?

A．He played in the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008.

B．He usually plays with the world's top orchestras.

C．He tries to introduce Chinese music to Western countries.

D．He plays the piano so well and has a good international image.

26. Lang Lang is trying his best to ______ now.

A．introduce China's own music to the West

B．play sold-out tours across Chinese cities

C．encourage children to learn the piano

D．prepare for a performance of Dragon songs

27. Which of the following about Lang Lang is true?

A．He didn't like music at all.

B．He had a good rest and enjoyed himself because he got his right hand hurt. .

C．He has had a great musical ambition since his childhood. .

D．He first appeared in the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.

28. From the last paragraph we can learn ______.

A．Lang didn't like playing the piano at all as a child

B．He was happy to practice the piano every day

C．His father's wish and expectations played an important role in his childhood

D．He hurt his hands six years ago

There are many colours in nature. But do you know that a colour has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment(实验).
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Wrap(包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why does it happen? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. The scientists told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientists say so? That is because every colour represents a kind of light wave(光波)------ a certain wavelength(波长). It reaches our brain(大脑) through organs(感觉器官)
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colour they like, and refuse the colour they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture(家具) for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only one hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change when we see different colours.
29. Which is the lightest colour in a man’s mind?

A．Red

B．Blue

C．Green

D．White

30. Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Different colours have different weights in a man’s mind.

B．The colour “blue” is the second heaviest colour in a man’s mind.

C．People can’t smell the colours.

D．The colour you don’t like will keep you healthy.

31. What will happen when you get into a cool coloured room from a warm coloured room?

A．You will feel excited.

B．You will be happy and contened.

C．Your temperature will fall.

D．You will be nervous.

32. According to the passage, how long will you feel if you stay in a red room for an hour?

A．Two hours.	B．Fours hours
C．Six hours	D．Eight hours.

Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.

Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.

So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.

Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.

Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

33. How much did Myers’ students pay for the rain forest they bought?

A．$25

B．$75

C．$80

D．$2000

34. What did Myers and his students do at the beginning of the trip?

A．They went into the rain forest.	B．They bought acres of rain forest.
C．They took a boat ride down a river.	D．They visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.

35. The word “Destruction” in paragraph 2 probably means “the process of being ______.”

A．destroyed（破坏）

B．developed （发展）

C．described（描述）

D．discovered（发现）

36. When the monkeys saw Myers and his students, they ___________.

A．felt excited	B．felt angry
C．jumped off the trees	D．left the rain forest

37. The passage mainly shows that Myers and his students _______.

Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or in your study. If so, then you know that is stress. You are worried too much about something. The bad feeling in your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.

However, some kind of stress is good. Excitement might happen when you are called to give a speech at school. You feel nervous but excited. This kind of stress can help you to get things well done. And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more beforehand.

On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems. You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if you’re doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life. The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly. Have some regular exercise. You should take some time for fun. Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends. Soon after that, you’ll probably get away with your stress.
