I worked for a ,short time a, a cashier at a restaurant a few weeks ago. I also
helped clear off the. tables, when it was busy. One night, just before Christmas, I
found a 13 on the. floor near one of the tables. I thought 1 should have 14it
to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at that time. Also I imagined that
if the wallet contained anything 15,the owner should be back.
Sure enough,an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him what the lost wallet looked like and after he described it 16,I gave it to him. He expressed his true thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him "no",he immediately opened it and
17 that it contained nearly$800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed to me. 1 was amazed at this. "A reward(酬劳)for”or 18,young girl.”He said and then turned away.
Thinking about it later, I began 19 whether. I would have been honest if I
had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner
and no one returned to get it, I might 20 it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The
good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

Do you know there is a connection between music and language? You may not believe it. But recent studies give us the answer: Music can improve certain language abilities in the brain. Now,let's look at two examples.
Recently,researcher Kris has done a research which shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. In his study,he divided the people into two groups. The people in the first group were musicians,while those in the other group had no musical training. He asked these people to listen to a person talking in a noisy room. As a result,the musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
You may wonder why. The answer is that musicians can hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists. When they play with the group,they hear their own instrument and many others’too. But they must listen closely to what they are playing,and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way,musicians are able to focus on certain sounds,even in a room with lots of nose.
A. doctor at Harvard Medical School works with stroke(中风)patients. These people cannot say their name,addresses,or other information normally because of their illness. However,they can still sing. He was surprised to find that singing
words helped his patients to speak. Why does this work? The doctor isn’t sure.
Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged(损坏的)parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music can improve concentration(注意力),memory,listening skills and overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older.
Music is not only enjoyable but also good for us in many other ways.
27. Musicians can hear better in a noisy room because they_
A. can focus on certain. sounds
B. are cleverer than normal people
C. are trained to hear noises
D. have a gift in this
28. The underlined word "sharp" p robably means“"in the last paragraph.
A. quick to react
B. having a thin edge
C. strong or forceful
D. sudden and rapid
29. What is the passage mainly about'?
A. Music can improve our hearing abilities.
B. The relationship between music. and language.
C. Music can keep our brain clear.
D, Singing words can help sick people.
D When John was growing up,other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always
had him weeding the garden,carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers.
But when John reached adulthood,he was better off than his childhood playmates.
He had more job satisfaction,a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all,he
was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40一year study that followed the lives of 4,56 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. "Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力)and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society," said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家)who made
the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves,others felt good about them.”
Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25,31and 47. Under Vaillant,the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood一activity scores. Points were awarded for part一time jobs,housework,effort in school,and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as
likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real
difference in how the boys turned out.
Working--at any age-- is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence-the underpinnings(基础)of emotional health. "They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common gals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said,“One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love,to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”
30. What do we know about John?
A. He enjoyed his job and marriage.
B. He had few childhood playmates.
C. He received little love from his family.
D. He was admired by others in his childhood.
31 .Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 are mentioned as
A. a description of personal values and social values
B. an analysis(分析)of how work was related to competence
C. an example for parents' expectations of their children
D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men
32. Vaillant's team made some discoveries by
A. recording the boys’ effort in school
B. judging the men’s mental health
C. comparing different sets of scores
D. measuring the men's problem solving ability
33. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Competent adults know more about love than work.
B. Emotional health is necessary to a wonderful adult life.
C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.
D. Independence is the key to one's success.

British people love going to pubs. They often say "If you haven't been to a pub,you haven't been to Britain.”
The word "pub" is short for "Public House". There are over 60,000 pubs in the UK(53,000 in England and Wales,.5,200 in Scotland and 1,600 in Northern Ireland),One of the oldest pubs,Fighting Cocks in St. Albans,Herts,is located(位于)in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.
Pubs are an important part of British life. People talk,eat,drink, meet their friends and relax there.
Pubs often have two bars,one usually quieter than the other,many have a garden where people can sit in the summer. Children can go in pub gardens with their parents.
In pubs,groups of friends normally buy“rounds" of drinks,where the person whose turn it is will buy drinks for all the members of the group. It is sometimes difficult to get served when pubs are busy: people do not queue,but the bar staff will usually try and serve those who have been waiting the longest at the bar first. If you
spill a stranger's drink by accident,it is good manners to offer to buy another drink.
Most pubs belong to a brewery(a company which makes beer) but sell many
different kinds of beer, some on tap (from a big container under the bar) and some in bottles. The most popular kind of British beer is bitter,which is dark and served at
room temperature (not hot,not cold).British beer is brewed from malt and hops.
Pubs have traditional names which date back over 600 years. Some typical names
are The Chequers,The White Swan,The Crown, The King's Arms,The Red Lion
and The White Horse. There is usually a sign outside the pub showing the pub夕s
name with a picture.
British pubs are required to have a licence,which is difficult to get. And they are allowed to open for 24 hours every day. Most pubs arc open from 11 to 11.So next time when you go to UK,please go to one of the pubs. After all,seeing
is believing!
34. What is the word "pub" short for?
35. What do people do in pubs in the UK?
36. Is it good manners to offer to buy another drink if you spill a stranger's drink by
accident
37. How long are British pubs allowed to open every day?
