When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I wailed and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do no."
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mm-k enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

How important is music？Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be entertainment，but not the first choice for education. This opinion is wrong.     31    

    32    Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas，and the social environment they came from. For example，just as Mozart`s music represents a lifestyle，rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin's music is another example. He introduced jazz style into his music.

    33    Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional（情绪的）meanings，such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world.

Music shows people's thoughts. It is a special language. We can“talk”to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way.    34    All of these can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education，we take them away from the meanings that music expresses. Our children are lacking in a wonderful part in their lives.     35    

A．Music makes our lives colorful.

B．So music education is necessary for all students.

C．Music tells us who we are.

D．In fact，music education is much more necessary than people usually think.

E．Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way.

F．Through the language we express our feelings，discoveries，ideas and hopes.

任务型阅读。
(1)We are living in a world full of competition. Our parents compete with others in their offices, our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges, and we compete with our classmates in schools.

Competition is not so terrible. Don’t be afraid of it. And don’t be afraid of those classmates who are better than you.(4) Remember that self-confidence is the first step to success. Believe in yourselves, and you will be successful in any competition.

50. What’s the main idea of this passage?

Jeans have become one piece of clothing worn by the most people in the world. Everybody wears them，from the farmer to the lawyer and from models to housewives. But why have jeans become so popular？You'll getmany answers. For some people they look cool，for others jeans are just comfortable.

Jeans were first made for farm workers as stronger trousers in the west states of America. Jeans were hardly worn at all.

It was James Dean and Marlon Brando that made them popular in movies and everyone started to wear them. They were a symbol of the rebellion（反叛）of young people during the 1950s and 1960s. So these new trousers were not allowed in American schools and sometimes in theaters and cinemas. As time went by，jeans became more acceptable. American people in Europe and Japan often wore them when（1）they were not on duty，showing that they were Americans. The trousers showed the world a happier way of life，something that people needed，especially after what they had（2）gone through in World War Ⅱ.

Jeans had other advantages as well. They didn't need to be washed as often as other trousers and women didn't need to iron them. This became more important as more and more women started working and had less time for housework.

Today jeans are an important part of our lives. They are always washed a few times before they are sold to give them a faded look.
