　　An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome.

　　In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (發起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits,study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong kong.

　　In Chicago, the mayor(市長）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

　　The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns,where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy

　　And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.

　　Ultinatel was Nancy points out,the level of sucicess is not meastured by how many people read a book,but by how many people are enriched by the process.or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

　　1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

　　A.To invite authors to guide readers.

　　B.To encourage people to read and share.

　　C.To involve people in communnity service.

　　D.To promote the friendship between cities.

　　2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the projict?

　　A.They had little interest in reading.

　　B.They were too busy to read a book.

　　C.They came from many different backgrounds

　　D.They lacked support from the locat government

　　3.According to the passage,where would the project be more easily carried out?

　　A.In large communities with little sense of unity

　　B.In large cities where libraries are far from home

　　C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population

　　D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached

　　4.The underlined words“shared a word”in Paragraph 5 probably mean

　　A.exchanged ideas with each other

　　B.discussed the meaning of a word

　　C.gamed life experience

　　D.used the same language

　　5.According to Nacy,the degree of students of the project is judged by

　　A.the careful selection of a proper book

　　B.the growing popularity of the writers

　　C.the number of people who benefit from reading.

　　D.the number of books that each person reads.

　　"Early?musical?training?benefits?kids?more?than?just?making?them?enjoy?music.?It?changes?the?brain,?which?could?bring?about?cognitive?advances?as?well,"?said?Yunxin?Wang?of?Beijing?Normal?University.

　　“Our results suggest it’s better to start musical training before seven, which agrees with what most piano teachers recommend,” she added. She hoped the results might help parents decide when was the best for their children to learn an instrument.

　　The brain’s cortex(皮層) plays a leading role in one’s abilities, from thought and language to memory and attention. The area matures rapidly in the early years of life, and its development could be affected more if a person starts musical training before it fully matures.

　　Wang studied 48 Chinese students aged between 19 and 21 who had received formal music training for at least a year sometime between the ages of 3 and 15. Each had a scan to measure the thickness of the brain’s cortex.

　　After considering sex and the number of years spent having music lessons, Wang found that musical training that started before seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function, which is a person’s ability to plan and accomplish tasks.

　　“We’re not sure why these changes occur, but a reasonable explanation is that early starters might depend more on hearing clues(線索) when learning music, since it might be more difficult for younger children to read music,” Wang said.

　　32. According to the researchers, musical training before the age of seven can _______________.

　　A. contribute to future work.

　　B. create a successful life

　　C. develop all-round abilities

　　D. deal with puzzling problem

　　33. When conducting the research with the students, Wang __________.

　　A. tested their language abilities

　　B. watched their musical performances

　　C. focused on school behavior and achievements

　　D. measured the thickness of the brain’s cortex

　　34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________.

　　A. it must be hard for kids to read music

　　B. kids are more likely to learn music by hearing

　　C. Wang’s explanation has been the most reasonable

　　D. Wang will research into the reasons for the brain change

　　35. For what purpose does the author write the text?

　　A. To describe the development of brain.

　　B. To challenge the previous discoveries.

　　C. To present the findings of the research.

　　D. To give advice on how to learn music.

　　One morning there was a message on the answering machine from an angry customer, complaining about her lack of service－service that had been stopped because her check had bounced(拒付)．

　　As it is my job to handle payments received, it was my duty to collect the check. As is often the case when a check bounces, I soon found that this woman's phone number was no longer in service. A check of the caller I．D. told us the call had come from the manager's office of the apartment building where our customer lived. We left a message with the manager and within the hour our call was returned.

　　I told our customer gently, sympathetically that a check she had written had been returned for lack of funds. I told her I always want to let people know about returned checks quickly because the huge fees the banks charge can cause more checks to be returned and more fees to be charged. I told her I hoped she could contact the bank and get things straightened out before her problems got worse. I also told her, gently once more，that I hated to add to her problems but she would owe us a fee for the returned check because the bank charges us a fee when a check is returned.

　　She told me she had difficulties because of being on a fixed income and being in poor health. She told me she had no children but had raised several that belonged to her husband and after living with him thirty years he had left her for another woman.

　　Finally, after she had promised to pay, I told her not only do I care about her situation, but she taught me something. When a person is angry, there may be reasons you don't know about. If you don't react with anger, you may learn what the real problem is and may in some way be able to help, if only with a little sympathy.

　　A. To apologize to her.

　　It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness (荒野)

　　For Killing Wolves

　　In Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However．1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur．So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply．

　　A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food．Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life．When the deer can’t find enough food，they die．

　　If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，their prey(獵物)will disappear some day．And the wolves will．too．So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology．If we killed more wolves，we would save them and their prey from dying out．We’d also

　　save some farm animals．

　　In another northern state，wolves attack cows and chickens for food．Farmers want the

　　government to send biologists to study the problem．They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population．

　　Against Killing Wolves

　　If you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous

　　wolf．According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food．Even today，the stories of the “big bad wolf'＂will not disappear．

　　But the fact is wolves are afraid of people．and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell．When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young．or the sick and injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived．And has always been a law of nature.

　　Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense! Researchers

　　have found wolves and their prey living in balance．The wolves keep the deer population from

　　becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．

　　The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people．Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs．the wolves can’t always find enough food .So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm．Then there is danger．The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next．
