For thousands of years people has believed that music has a great effect on both the mind and the body, but it was only about 70 years ago that scientists began to study its medical（医学）benefits（益处）.     3     Since then, people has begun to use music to help patients. People even used it to help kids in schools get better marks.

Now music is being used in a special programme called Music Therapy (疗法). It helps people improve their quality of life in many different ways by using music. Sophia is 11.

【推荐1】阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (选项中有两项多余)

Do you know the reason why we feel tired in the middle of a class? Maybe you would say it is because the teacher’s class is boring.     1     Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed.

Purpose of sleep

Why do we need sleep? Sleep helps our body heal (修复) grow and stay healthy. It also gives us energy, so we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say: when you close your eyes and need to rest, sleep is just the very best!

Sleep time

Enough sleep is important to us. How much sleep do we need? New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20-22 hours a day. Children need 10-12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult bodies. Grown-ups usually need 6-8 hours of sleep to keep active.     2     That is why old people sleep less than young people.

Interesting facts

Almost everyone has their dreams while they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up.     3     More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called “sleepwalking”. Are you a sleepwalker? Or, is there a sleepwalker around you?

Sleepy animals

It’s not just people that love to snooze (打盹).     4     Some animals, such as bears and hedgehogs, sleep all through winter. The swift is a very fast bird that can sleep while it flies! Cute koalas sleep around 18 hours a day. Giraffes don’t need much sleep at all. They usually sleep standing up.

A．Some people talk in their dreams.

B．However, the real reason is probably that we don’t have enough sleep.

C．In fact, many animals have unusual or surprising sleeping habits.

D．The older you get, the less sleep you will need.

E．Many animals also need as much sleep as people.

F．Some people never dream while they are sleeping.

In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. Since then, 13 Chinese astronauts have “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu are three of them. They carried out the latest (最近的) Shenzhou XIII mission (任务). Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut like them? How did they get there?

●Health is important

To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight, a strong heart and lungs (肺) are important. You’d better not have other small problems. For example a decayed tooth (龋齿) could get worse in space and bring trouble to astronauts. You can’t have scars (伤疤) either. They may split (裂开) in space.

●Become stronger with hard training

For example, you need to build your muscles (肌肉) as strong as professional athletes (专业运动员) by running, swimming and doing pull-up (引体向上). You will also wear a 200-kilogram suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks during a spacewalk.

●Learn science

Knowledge is important as well. Astronauts take 60 courses to get ready for a mission, including math, English, spacecraft design (设计), physics and many more. So they will know what to do when emergencies (紧急情况) happen during the mission. They can also do scientific experiments (实验) in space.

1. If astronauts have a decayed tooth in space, ________.

A．they might have heart problem

B．their decayed tooth might become worse

C．their good teeth might split

D．they will have scars in their mouth

2. What training should an astronaut take?

A．Flying an airplane for about 600 days.

D．What it takes to become an astronaut.

【推荐1】“Are you happy?” The simple question usually makes people confused (迷惑的). Even Mo Yan, who won a Nobel Prize, replied to it by saying, “I don’t know.”
When a migrant worker (农民工) was asked, “Are you happy? (Ni Xing Fu Ma?)” by a CCTV reporter, he looked confused before replying, “My family name is Zeng. (Wo Xing Zeng.)” This has become a joke. But his answer showed migrant workers and TV reporters live in different worlds and they cannot even communicate with each other.
Similarly, when asked, “Are you happy?” a 73-year-old man, collecting used plastic bottles in a street in Zhejiang, said, “The bottles can be sold for 0.1 yuan each.” Asked again, he said, “The government is good.” The reporter went on, “My question is ‘Are you happy?’” The old man answered, “My hearing is not good.”
The reporter probably tried to reach the same answer that the interviewees(被采访者) including the migrant worker and the old man are “happy”.
In fact, when the question is asked, we should learn about people’s true situation and their true wishes and opinions but their “Yes” or “No”.
Luckily, the government has paid more attention to the importance. Now there are many TV programs giving common people the chance to give their opinions.
“Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At last year’s National People’s Congress (人大), Wen Jiabao said and agreed that increasing happiness would be a top aim for the 12th five-year plan.
1. Ten plastic bottles could be sold for ________ to the 73-year-old.

A．0.1 yuan

B．1 yuan

C．10 yuan

D．20 yuan

A．The reporters wanted the people to say “Yes” when asked “Are you happy?”

B．Letting people live more happily is a top aim in the next five years.

【推荐2】Since July 2019, Shanghai has been the first city to sort their garbage. Starting on May 1^st, 2020, Beijing also became one of the members by introducing a new garbage sorting policy. Green garbage has come to China.

In the past, people put a lot of garbage into one pile and then took the garbage to landfill sites. These landfill sites, however, could pollute the land and water. So, if we can find ways to reuse or recycle more garbage, then we will cause less pollution.

The new plan asks people to put their garbage into four different boxes, one for each type of garbage. The brown box is for “wet garbage” (such as food and drink waste). The red one is for harmful waste (such as batteries and electronics). The blue one is for recyclable things (such as paper and plastic). And finally, the black one is for “dry garbage” (everything else). This “sort your garbage” plan is the same as other plans used by cities around the world. These plans have been very successful. In Canada, it's expected that 85 %of plastic will be recycled by 2025.

Why should we sort our garbage? The reason is that we are producing increasing amount of waste every year. It's reported that Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year. Reducing that amount will surely help the environment.

However, the garbage sorting is a long journey as it takes time for people to learn and form a habit. More cities are on their way. By 2025, it's hoped most Chinese cities will complete the building of garbage sorting.

1. How do the people in Beijing and Shanghai deal with the garbage now?

A．They put the garbage into one pile and carry it to the landfill sites.

B．They sort the garbage into different boxes.

C．They change most of the garbage into something useful.

D．They throw the garbage away and burn it.

2. If you want to throw away half a bottle of juice, which box will you throw it into?

A．The brown box.	B．The blue box.
C．The red box and the black box.	D．The brown box and the blue box.

3. What's the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)

A．

B．

C．

D．

4. Why did the writer write this passage?

A．To Sum up some right ways to protect the environment.

B．To give some successful examples of sorting garbage in some cities.

C．To show us that the landfill sites polluted the land and water.

D．To encourage people to get into the habit of sorting garbage.

【推荐3】Painting and writing on walls is nothing new. In prehistoric (史前的) times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells!

In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first “taggers” was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighbourhood and in subway stations on the way to school. Other teenagers saw Demetrius’s tag and started writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictures too.

In many countries, it is a crime to paint on walls and street artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Artists paint all the buildings in a street. Lots of people come to watch the artists and take photos. Street art can be seen in galleries (美术馆) too. There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles.

Most street artists are young people who paint in their neighbourhood or home city. Many of them use the Internet to communicate and share photos of their pictures with other street artists around the world. Although we don’t know what will happen to street art in the future, we can be sure that it is here to stay!
