Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often traveled around the world on business. He enjoyed his work and traveling. But now，Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak. In less than one week after his return, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night.
The doctors told him that they did not know how to cure Mr. Cousins’ problem and he might never get over the illness. However, Mr. Cousins refused to give up hope.

After that Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired.

Hearing live music is one of the most pleasurable experiences available to human beings. The music sounds great, it feels great, and you get to watch the musicians as they create it. No matter what kind of music you love, try listening to it live.
This guide focuses on classical music, a tradition that originated before recordings, radio, and the Internet, back when all music was live music. In those days live human beings performed for other live human beings, with everybody together in the same room. When heard in this way, classical music can have a special excitement. Hearing classical music in a concert can leave you feeling refreshed and energized. It can be fun. It can be romantic. It can be spiritual.
Classical music concerts can seem like snobby (高傲的) affairs full of foreign terms and unusual behavior. It can be hard to understand what’s going on. It can be hard to know how to act. But don’t worry. Concerts are no stranger than any other amusement, and the rules of behavior are much simpler and easier to understand than the stock market, football, or system software upgrades.
If you haven’t been to a live concert before, or if you’ve been confused by concerts, this guide will explain, so you can relax and enjoy the music.
63. From Paragraph 1, we can see that the author encourages us _______.
21.to watch the musicians to compose music
22.to experience the spirit of classical music
23.to attend live concerts and enjoy live music
24.to obtain pleasure from different kinds of music
64. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “originated” in Paragraph 2?
A. listened
B. started
C. performed
D. disappeared
65. The author considers that live classical music _______.
A. is full of foreign terms
C. is too difficult to understand
B. is stranger than other amusements
D. is exciting to both players and listeners
66. The passage is _____ which focuses on live classical music.
A. a review
B. a conclusion
C. a summary
D. an introduction
E
Reading poetry is not like reading any other kind of language, except maybe the language of advertising.
It may seem strange, but advertising and poetry have a lot in common. Like advertisements, poems:
●have vivid imagery and impressive sound;
●are richly symbolic;
●operate on an emotional level, use a language of feeling;
●are by nature brief, clear, economical with words;
●are narrative sometimes, non-narrative other times.
But unlike advertisements, poems tend to express complex, deep or various feelings rather than simple, sentimental, surface, or unchanged emotion. If there’s drama in a poem, it’s more likely to be subtle, or tragic, or truly comic instead of overstated or silly. But the most important difference to observe is that poems do not mislead readers the way ads do; they are not conveying messages seeking to control or mislead your thinking and behavior.
Similarities and differences aside, it’s possible that being good at interpreting (释义) the subtle, unspoken messages in ads makes a person more skillful at interpreting poetry. It’s the same process of observation and inference. You observe the imagery in a typical beer advertisement, for example, and are led to infer that the right bottle of beer is the key to friendship, popularity, happiness, liberty, and success. (Never mind that this might not be the whole truth.) This is the same process you would use to interpret, critically or uncritically, the images in poems.
As wonderful and easy as some poems are right away, it’s true that sometimes reading poetry can seem a little bit like work. A poem that requires a bit of work isn’t necessarily a bad poem, although some of you might think so. But that tough work to open poem actually is well worth the effort.
67. According to the passage, both poems and advertisements always use ________.
A. brief words
B. colorful pictures
C. impressive music
D. narrative stories
68. Unlike advertisements, poems are likely to express ___________.
A. simple emotion
B. complex and deep feelings
C. feelings on the surface
D. emotion without any change
69. What does the underlined word “subtle” mean in paragraph 4?
A. clear
B. difficult
C. simple
D. wordy
70. The most important difference between poems and advertisements is that _______.
A. poems make readers more skillful at interpreting
B. advertisements are usually much easier to understand
C. poems do not mislead readers the way advertisements do
D. advertisements have less intention of controlling our thinking

Dear Mr. Principal,
I am a student of our school. I’d like to say something about the canteen service in our school.
There are 3 advantages of canteen service in our school. First, our canteen is very clean, Second, the food is delicious ,Third ,the attitude of service is good.
But it also has some disadvantages . Such as the price of the food is high, few variety to choose from, too long waiting time for buying food.
In my opinion, we can invite our student to take part in the canteen for offering the help. We may let the student list the food they like to let the canteen to make it.
I hope more and more student will like our canteen service.
Your sincerely
Lihua
