Lang's performances are energetic(精力充沛的)．He is well­known for making facial(面部的)expressions and moving around while playing the piano.
The road to success has never been ng's father stopped his job to look after him，while his mother stayed in Shenyang to make money.But Lang thinks himself lucky and believes he should give something back.He has helped the children in poor areas a lot.

My favorite great book is The Ad v enture of Tom Sa w yer by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St.Petersburg，Missouri.He's a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(冒险)．He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure，while with Becky he gets lost in a cave.And finally，they find a box of gold.
My favorite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral.He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story，but there are other important characters.Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair，Joe is Tom's best friend，and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally，it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished(惩罚)for bad behavior.
Why do I think The Ad v enture of Tom Sa w yer is a great book？Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today.And although it's only a story，Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the
southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real.Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Read it！I know you'll enjoy it，too.
(C)34.Where does Tom run away with his two friends?
A．To a quiet street. B．To a small town.
C．To an island. D．To a forest.
(A)35.How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral?
A．They were surprised and pleased.
B．They were surprised and sad.
C．They were worried and excited.
D．They were frightened and happy.
(C)36.The whole book is mainly about ______.
A．freedom and social rules
B．children's bad behavior
C．the growth of young children
D．strangers in American small towns
(A)37.The writer writes the article to ______.
A．ask us to read the book
B．tell us how popular the book is today
C．tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story
D．tell us why the story sounds very real
C
My name is Laura.When I was little，I was interested in playing the drums.I also had a guitar.In the fourth grade，I started playing the trombone(长号)．I practiced about four hours a week.All of this might not seem like a big deal for many children，but there was something different about me.I was born without hands.Since I was about one year old，I had worn prosthetics(义肢)．
Music gives me energy．That happens sometimes.Once I was so sad that I didn't even want to get out of bed.Then I touched my MP3 player by accident(意外地)．A song came out，and I got up and started dancing.It helped me say to myself，“OK，I can get through the hard time.”
This year，I got an invitation to join the high school marching band(仪仗队)．I told my mom I wanted to do it.But a teacher of the band thought I wouldn't be able to march in the band—not because it is a high school band and I'm only in the seventh grade，but probably because my body is different.All I wanted was to show that I could do it，so I tried out for the band.And I made it!
When I'm with the band，I don't feel as different as I do in other situations.It's just another way that music makes me go on.
(B)38.The underlined word “energy” means “______” in Chinese.
A．悲伤B．力量
C．财富D．幸运

Do you often listen to music at loud volumes？You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing，according to the World Health Organization(WHO)．Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noise for long periods of time，said WHO.Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.
The United Nations has standards for safe listening.It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(dB，分贝)for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes.The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock(摇滚乐)concert can be about 100 dB.
Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear(内耳)．Most of us are born with about 16，000 hair cells(听毛细胞)in our inner ears.These cells detect(探测)sounds.However，listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die.This is what causes hearing loss.
Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud.But this can depend on where you are.For example，if you are in a noisy place like the subway，you might turn up your music too loud without realizing ter，when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place，you might feel uncomfortable.
WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week.A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway.
Tip for safe listening
1．Use noise­canceling(降噪)headphones.
These headphones get rid of background noise.You don't need to turn
up the volume as much.
2．Turn down the volume
Keep your device(设备)volume at 50 to 60 percent.
3．Limit daily use of headphones
Listen to sound on your mobile devices for a maximum(最大量)of
one hour per day.
(C)42.According to WHO's suggestions，it is NOT safe to ______.
A．listen to music every day
B．watch TV for over an hour
C．listen to loud sounds for a long time
D．go to a rock concert while wearing headphones
(B)43.The sound level of a busy road is about ______.
A．80 dB B．85 dB
C．100 dB D．115 dB
(B)44.Listening to loud music causes hearing problems because ______.
A．it puts our brains under great pressure
B．it can cause hair cells in the inner ear to die
C．it prevents our ears from resting
D．it allows people to get used to listening to loud sounds
(D)45.What does the fifth paragraph tell us?
A．People love to listen to loud music.
B．It's reasonable to listen to loud music in some places.
C．People are likely to listen to music on the subway.
D．People don't always realize how loud their music is.
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(1′×5＝5′)
Winnie the Pooh was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid.And I'm sure it is also yours.Do you wonder who brought the cute bear(熊)to life and who named him?
There is a place called Winnipeg in Canada.Many years ago，Harry，a soldier，was traveling by train from Winnipeg to Europe.When the train stopped at a station，he saw a hunter(猎人)selling a black bear.He bought the cub(幼兽)from the hunter and named the cub “Winnipeg”．The name became “Winnie” in short.
Harry traveled a lot.So when he reached London he left Winnie in the care of the London Zoo.
A boy named Robin lived in London.Robin loved to visit the London Zoo with his dad.“Winnie” was his favorite animal.He sometimes spent hours with it in front of its cage.
Robin's father was a famous writer.He wrote stories about Winnie and Robin.Slowly，he needed more characters to add more fun to the stories.So Winnie's friends Piglet，Eeyore，Rabbit，Roo and Tigger appeared.
