That field was not open to her because she was female,” Lundin said. Potter w as urged to turn the charming illustrations and stories she wrote in letters to children into books. She wrote 23 books in all-a body of work that has inspired plays, ballets, films and an astonishing amount of merchandise.“The Tale of Peter Rabbit is probably the most famous children’s book in the world, which was published in 1902 and has really stood the test of time. It’s been translated into 36 languages. The parents and grandparents will share it with the next generation,” said Lundin.Potter also ma de a mark on the world through her land conservation. “In many ways, she was like Peter Rabbit, venturing into a world of adventure and risk. She withdrew from London as soon as she started making some money on her books to the Lake District and became an extremely important farmer and conservationist. She preserved and passed on 15 farms and over 4,000 acres, which were given back to the country as gifts in the 20th century,” said Lundin.Even though she was born 150 years ago, she was amazingly modern-her embracing of the natural world, commented Jennifer Blatchley Smith, an artistic director of the show Peter Rabbit Tales to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter’s birth.5.

There are all kinds of manners.Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking. Today, well-mannered children have more freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places. Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp (打嗝)” afte r you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please.” In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.9. How did polite children behave?A. By looking into adults，eyes while talking.B.

Talking with a friend before he completes things in East Africa.D. Accepting an eating invitation in Arabia.11. What can we infer from the text?A. Hear much, speak little.B. Love me, love my dog.C. When in Rome do as the Romans do.D. Do what you ought to and come what can.DLying alongside mountains of smelly garbage under the South American sun, Cateura is a long way from the conservatories of Prague or Vienna. Yet the township, which grew out of Paraguay’s largest dump (垃圾场), is gaining a reputation as a hothouse for musical talent-and for its youth orchestra (管弦乐队) that plays instruments made from ga rbage. “The world sends us garbage. We send back music,” says Favio Chavez, leader of the “Recycled Orchestra”, during a recent visit by the group to Los Angeles. Orchestra members, poor children from Cateura, play violins fashioned from oven trays and guitars made from dessert dishes. The orchestra provides the youngsters an outlet and an escape, a chance to go beyond the mess of their slum (贫民窟) through the music of Mozart，and even Sinatra. “In the beginning, it was difficult to play,” says the 10-year-old violinist Celeste Fleitas. “But Favio helped me learn over time. From Favio, I have learned to be more responsible and value the things I have.”The destination for more than 1,500 tons of waste each day, the community has no safe drinking water and little access to electricity or sanitation (卫生设施). Illiteracy is severe, and the children of the township often fall into drugs, violence and crimes.Favio Chavez, a musical talent, came to Cateura as an environmental technician in 2006 and started a youth music school. He knew shop-bought instruments were beyond the means of villagers whose sheds are worth less than a violin, so he approached a carpenter to make some out of waste from the dump.The orchestra caught the eye of Paraguayan filmmaker Alejandra Amarilla. She uploaded a short piece of the orchestra to YouTube in 2012, hoping to secure crowdfunding for what would become Landfill Harmonic, a documentary released across the United States this month and promoting the youngsters on a tour of the world’s m usic halls later on.12. What is the best title of the text?A. Youngsters carry tunes from garbage to victoryB. A music talent hit the road to the world stageC. A town for music fansD. An orchestra on a global tour13.

It provides its children with better schooling conditions.14. Why did Alejandra Amarilla upload a piece of the orchestra to YouTube?A. To assist the youngster with a world tour.B. To collect funding for a documentary.C. To organize carpenters to make instruments.D. To catch the eye of the Paraguay government.15. What can we learn from Favio Chavez?A. To work in a team weighs more.B. To recycle things is to conserve things.C. To be creative is a quality of a leader.D. To own nothing is no excuse to do nothing.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
