AThe arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining agang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.21.According to the passage, music could make students smarter by _____________.A. improving their classroom skills and paying attentionB. improving their classroom skills and imaginationC. improving their attention, direction and imaginationD. learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas22.What does the underlined phrase "glued to" in the second paragraph mean?A. unwilling to turn onB. always lookingC. unwilling to leaveD. always playing23.The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could _______________.A. give children self-expression and self-confidenceB. bring to children achievement and successC. give children something to be proud ofD. develop children's self-confidence24．What's the best title of this passage？A.

But scientific evidence (证据) does little to support this idea. Going back to America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they at e more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch television.Sev eral modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people don’t eat more on average than thinner people. A 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers showed that fat people eat less than slim (苗条的) people.Studies also show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting facts: The more the man ran, the greater loss of the body fat.The more they ran, the greater increase in food intake.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.29．Nowadays many Americans have the problem that ______.A. they are too slimB. they work too hardC. they are too fatD. they lose too much body fat30．According to the passage, how many people in 900 Americans have a “weight problem”?A. 150.B. 300.C. 600.D. 270.31．Is there any scientific evidence to support the idea that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?A.

David's firm puts two new games on the home market each month.But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. In spite of his salary, made by inventing new programs within a quite short period of time, the bonus payments and profit-sharing (奖金和分红), he cannot drive a car, get some money from a bank to buy a house, or get credit cards.He lives with his parents in their house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His firm has to pay ￡150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.David got his job with the firm a year after leaving school wi th six 0-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,”he said.“I suppose 35,000 pounds sounds a lot but actually that's not good enough. I hope it will come to more than that this year.”He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 20 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,”he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I know what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.”David added, “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility.
