I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (麦片) and eggs. When others had sugary drinks and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were.

We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. We had to be in bed by 9:00 p.m. and get up at 8:00 a.m. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, my mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook. I believed she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.

Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school.

My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people. Now I’m trying to raise my children like this, too. I will feel proud when my children call me mean, because, you see, I am thankful that I had the meanest mother in the whole world.

If music makes you smart and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a person who is better at learning and understanding.

A team of scientists from a university did tests on 33 volunteers. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better in language ability test than without music.

The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to the music during exercise. “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system (神经系统) and have a direct result on learning ability,” said the scientist Charles Emery. Scientists have found that music can be good for health and education. It helps relieve stress, sadness and nervousness, encourages relaxation or sleep, wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.

Scientists have been using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disabilities. Mozart is often chosen because his music is not over-exciting. A study showed students who often exercise to Mozart’s music get higher marks in tests. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.

27. What does the underlined word “relieve” mean?

A．Add.

B．Rise.

C．Reduce.

D．Remind.

28. How many great musicians are mentioned in the text?

A．Two.

B．There.

C．Four.

D．Thirty-three.

29. What does the last paragraph tell us?

A．Students should not listen to music before exams.

B．Music may help students get higher grades in tests.

C．Children are supposed to follow their parents’ words.

D．There is no reason for children to argue with parents.

30. What can we know from the text?

A．Mozart’s music is not exciting.

B．Music usually makes people sleep well.

C．Exercise may influence learning ability.

D．Volunteers felt worse after exercising without music.

31. Which is the best title for this text?

A．Scientists suggest great music.	B．Music and exercise lead to stress.
C．Exercising to music makes you smarter.	D．Volunteers listened to Mozart’s violin pieces.

Are you scared of moving up to senior high school? It can be a worrying experience, but you shouldn’t worry about it.     32    

You’re not alone!     33     They may not realize it, but they’re just as nervous as you are. Moving up to senior high school is an opportunity (机会), not a problem. Things are different.     34    

Teachers are ready to help! If you are unsure of what to do or worrying about anything, then ask teachers for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they’re experienced in helping new students. Some senior high schools also have a “friends system (系统)”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student who will look out for you and help you.

Changes. There are many differences between junior high school and senior high school.

    35     You’ll have a homework diary or a student planner. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days. Make sure you have a copy of your school timetable so you know which rooms your classes will be in and on which days you will have your different subjects.

Other points. If you’ve got an older brother or sister at school, then ask him or her for advice. Be yourself!     36     Also you must go to bed early and get up early to get ready for school.

A．It sounds simple, but people will know you better and get close to you if you act naturally.

B．We’ve put together a guide on how to get through the first week.

C．All you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.

D．So make sure you get organized.

E．Remember everybody in your class is in the same boat.

A new study shows that 1 billion young people are at risk for hearing loss (损失). Because music, movies, phones and concerts have a     52     influence on it. It’s common for young people to listen to something too loud for a long time. Maybe it’s time to turn     53     the volume (音量).

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that millions of people around the     54     have serious hearing loss, especially young people. Because they over use listening devices (设备). For example, too much use of earphones among     55     increases hearing loss. It may lead to tinnitus (耳鸣) for a while or long time. Besides, they often visit     56     with loud music. It is     57     that there are about 0.67 to 1.35 billion young people joining in unsafe listening activities,     58     they are also at risk for listening loss. The earlier they are in noise environment, the more     59     they will have hearing problems.

As hearing loss is becoming worse and worse, hearing and understanding others is getting more difficult. What should you do? To prevent hearing loss, you’d better follow the advice:

Keep the volume at a safe level.

Reduce the time of     60     earphones.

    61     staying in loud spaces for a long time.

Increase the distance between you and the source of the noise.

Dear Jack,

I heard you are interested in Longtaitou (the Dragon Head Raising Day). I’m glad     62     know you are interested in Chinese culture. Now let me introduce Longtaitou to you.

This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands     63     the start of spring and farming. This year, the day falls on March 11th.

The dragon is important in Chinese culture. People believed     64     with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest in autumn. Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (细须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.

So far, many customs     65     disappeared. But one that has remained is the cutting of hair.     66     was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

Chinese culture is so attractive, right? Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Liang
