15. A Sweet Success
One weekend, Taylor, an eight﹣year﹣old girl, asked her parents to buy a toy for her, but her father encouraged her to make money by herself．"How can I make money? " Taylor thought for a
while and had an idea, "Why not make cakes and sell them at church to raise money to buy the toy? "
The next day, Taylor started her plan． She borrowed ﹩40 from her parents in order to buy tools and materials at first and promised to pay it back． Then she began to make cakes by herself． To her parents' surprise, she made ﹩175 by selling the cakes that Sunday．
Everyone thought Taylor would buy the toy she wanted． She certainly had made enough money for it, but she didn't． Instead, Taylor decided to buy business cards and had her father's phone number on them．Then she began handing the cards out． More people knew Taylor and came to buy her cakes． Even large companies began to try buying her delicious cakes．
Though Taylor has made a lot of money , she still works hard at school． She also likes to take part in other activities． So Taylor must carefully manage her time． For

16. Social Bond of Animals
Friendship is an important part of human life． Friends can share our joys and our hardships． We aren't alone． Many different animals also make friends．
Recently, a British research team finished an eight﹣year study of Indo﹣Pacific dolphins
off the coast of Western Australia． These dolphins can use different tools to search for food． The researchers found that these dolphins are more willing to hang out with partners that like the same tool． Other factors, like family closeness or sex, have no influence on
this relationship．
"It suggests that dolphins form social bonds （纽带） based on shared interests , UK biologist Simon Allen told Science Daily．"Using different tools is time﹣consuming （耗时
间的）"for dolphins to cooperate．
Apart from dolphins, elephants, horses and bats are also known to form friendships． Are friendships only limited to the same species? Of course not, The Atlantic reported in
2015, a goat Timur was originally left in the tiger Amur's enclosure （围场） as a
meal． But instead of eating Timur, Amur likes to play with it and gets jealous when others are close to his friend．
The Atlantic said it's not unusual among captive （圈禁的） animals． That's because in captivity, animals don't need to spend much time and energy marking their territory （领地）or looking for mates the way they would in the wild． They are actually more likely to feel bored． " In this particular situation, the animal's motivation to"engage （参与） socially
and playfully may be higher than eating．
More interestingly, animals not only make friends but also try to keep lasting friendships． Take bats for example． In 201 1, scientists found bats prefer to hang out with a few certain friends, keeping loose ties to the rest of their group．
Humans aren't so different．" We do not work, play and live together with the same friends all the time , "Swiss zoologist Gerald Kerth explained． " But nevertheless, we are able to maintain long﹣term relations hips …despite our often "highly dynamic （动态的）social lives．
（1）What did the recent British research find about dolphins？________
A They form a group to look for food together．
B They form friendships based on family closeness．
C They are likely to make friends based on interests．
D They
are better at building friendships than other animals．．
（2）What can we infer from Gerald Kerth's words？________
A Animals like to hang out with different friends．
B Animals might feel bored with friends of the same species．
C Humans are better at keeping long﹣term bonds than animals．
D Humans and animals make and keep friendships in similar ways．．
（3）What's the passage mainly about？________
A How animals form and keep friendship．
B The importance of friendship for animals．
C How to build strong ties with your friends．
D The different ways humans and animals socialize．
17. Powering up with a Catchy Tune
When watching sports events, we often notice athletes with their earphones on while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium． They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats． It seems as if the music is empowering them and toughening
（使更坚强） them up for the competition． We sometimes do the same． You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises． But is there any science behind such practices?
According to recent research, it turns out there is． Music actually does make us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect．
The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in the US． His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types． The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, such as Queen's We will Rock You and 2 Unlimied﹣Get Ready． for This．
Researchers also found that high﹣power music made people want to take control． in social events and come first in competition． That matters a lot in sports．"It's commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical, " The HuffPost reported． Great athletes know this idea well． Former NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often put on big headphones and even did a little meditation to ________ his game and ease his anxiety．
As for the reason for music's magical power, Hsu's team came up with one possible explanation: when people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic （模拟）
these feelings in their mind．
When choosing music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers． In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower, more repetitive﹣type tasks． If you're warming up or cooling down after exercises, pop songs are the correct choice．
Dance music was found to be best suited to strength and weight training because it's"fast and rhythmical （有节奏感的）"．
During high﹣intensity （高强度的） workouts, though, you'd better not listen to rock． Its different changes in tempo （节拍） can affect your rhythm．
（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？________
A To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises．
B To lead in the topic that music matters in sports．
C To give an example of athletes' daily life．
D To explain how
to choose music．．
（2）According to the passage，Dennis Hsu probably agrees that________．
A listening to music always makes athlete relaxed
B powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mind
C the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the players
D most athletes still don't know the effects of high﹣power music on their performance．
（3）The word "boost" in Paragraph 5 probably means "________"
A control
B lose
C continue
D improve．
（4）What can we learn from the passage？________
A Pop music is a reasonable choice for high intensity workouts．
B Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising．
C People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercises．
D People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training．
四、回答问题
18. CThe best-known example of external（外部的）influence causing language change is the
"Americanization" of world culture, which has caused English words to appear in city streets all over
the world. The effect is most noticeable in pop music. Foreign groups often record in English, and the
words are picked up and repeated in the same language everywhere, even by children who otherwise
have little or no command of the language. I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count
t one, two, three', but only by adding the words t o' clock, four o'clock rock' at the end:Some people are often strongly critical'of the influence of English on their language--especially
when an English word replaces a traditional word. In 1977, France passed a law banning the use of
English words in official situations if an equivalent（意义相同的）French expression existed—but the
law seemed to be honored more in the breaking than in the observing. Some other countries have
considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect, and
that the arrival of loan words（外来词）can greatly enrich a language（as indeed in the case of
English itself, which has a long history of welcoming foreign words）.However, not everyone is critical. In particular, commercial firms and advertisers are well aware
of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring. In Japan, English is even
used in television commercials, despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand
exactly what was being said: the excellence implied by'the mere use of English is apparently enough
to command the strategy to the advertisers.Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign lánguages, but surveys are
slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected. Sentences
of the type"The book sells well", using an active construction for a passive meaning, have begun to
appear in Danish（Bogen soelger godt）. Several languages keep the English plural ending when they
make use of a loan word, and do not translate it into the native form, e. g. drinks. There are many
, other such cases.
（1）Why is the Brazilian child referred to in Paragraph 1?
A To show English song is very popular.
B To show the world has been. Americanization,
C To show English has appeared all over the world.
D To show English effect is noticeable in pop music.
（2）What can we infer about the laws passed to limit the use the loan words?
A They were strict.
B They were unfair..
C They were often ignored.
D They were strongly opposed.
（3）Who will welcome the use of English words?
A Government officials.
B Customers.
C Law-makers.
D Commercial firms and advertisers.
（4）How does the last paragraph orgnize the writing?
A By providing examples.
B By making comparisons.
C By explaining grammar
rules. D By analyzing language change.
