AThe sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sounds just exactly as it did 15 years ago, which reminded me of my girlhood.It was my second day of school and it was raining heavily. I could not resist the habit I had at home, so I fell asleep right at my desk. I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad’s back. We were halfway home. It was the last time I felt close t o him.After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children.I was not bothered much by this thought. I was proud of it, for I felt independent and “grown up.” However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having so ught comfort from him.One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, watching me scratching the paper. Then he said, “This kind of writing needs patience. Your writi ng is not strong enough. Press harder.”I follow his advice for the next two words, but as I could see little improvement, I followed my own method----the fast way. His advice did not improve my writing but our relationship. As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his schooling in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in the town then, so he was considered to be a scholar. People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to count on you. We are useless to improve you anything for your future.You have to get an education to change the life for yourself.” As a result of his expectation, I have made it through high s chool and through college.21.

Classical Music in the UKC. Future of Classical Music DistributionD. James Glicker and His passionatoBClassical music lovers in the UK will now be able to download their favorite works from the web, thanks to a new store launched today.Passionato is providing the world's biggest collection of high-quality classical downloads, first in the UK and later worldwide. The company says m ore than 18, 000 recordings are available. Many fans of classical music have previously avoided MP3 downloads for disappointing quality.Passionato's founder is James Glicker, a former president of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. He said although it did its early research in the U. S.. It chose to launch in the UK."First, the UK and Europe have an incredibly active classical music scene in terms of concert attendance, record labels (唱片公司) and journalism though the U. S. is the biggest single country in terms of actual classical music sales. Second, setting up Passionato in the UK is to take advantage of the financial support that was being offered to us," he said."Online music stores have typically offered Mp3s at 128kbps, which is fine for Pop music but it's not exactly high-fidelity (高忠实性).”Passionato will face competition from established online classical music stores as well as from large download stores which have some classical works in their catalogues.Mr. Glicker said he hoped Passionato would boost the classical music industry."It's a major motivation for us," he said. "While classical music concert attendance is on the rise, labels are reducing their recordings and sellers are shutting down like there's no tomorrow. So the future of classical music distribution is online."The BPI, the UK's recorded music industry association, issued a statement welcoming the launch. Visitors to the Passionato online store can listen to 60-second samples before deciding whether to buy a track (一首歌曲). A free music player and organizer is also available for download. As part of the launch, anyone registering at Passionato, com can claim 10 free pre-selected tracks.29．The underlined phrase in the first paragraph most probably means .A．clever remarks（言论）B．silly remarksC．exciting remarks D．disappointed remarks30．The second paragraph mainly tells us .A．every part of body is replaced with age B．hairs will grow weak but not die C．skin becomes wrinkled with age D．every part of body ages with age 31．From the passage we can infer that .A．stress causing gray hair is still in questionB．gray hair has nothing to do with tension．C．stressful situations can be of benefit．D．sound evidence has been found．32．What might play the most important role in the graying process?A．Genetics and the amount of sleeping timeB．The amount of food people eat and living environmentC．The amount of pigment and geneticsD．Genetics and the amount of water people drinkCDoes stress cause gray hair? Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color．In fact，it is an old wives tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying．Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives tale could be true．As one ages，the hairs on the head also age．In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while．The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled．Hairs on the head grow and eventually die．They are replaced，but in the process something else happens．When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment(色素)is also added to them．However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available．At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color．In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white．Many things are known to cause graying．and genetics is a very powerful factor．If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too．Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty．Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body．It is aknown fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss．It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying．However，there is no sound evidence to support this．On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link：between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension．Does stress cause gray hair? There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations．33.What was the average weight for American men two decades ago?A. 210. 7 lbs.B. 195. 7 lbs.C. 180. 7 lbs.D. 152. 3 lbs.34.How did the researchers present their study findings?A.
