24、   We know music is very important in our daily life. Do you notice music playing at any of those places when you go somewhere? Today most stores, stations, restaurants and other places play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm.

Scientists believe that music influences the way people behave. They think that the sound of western classical music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without music, people spend even less.

25、   Many kids all over the world are reading Harry Potter books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn't be able to find those and other books in school libraries. Should school libraries keep books that some parents don't approve of？Should they take those books off the bookcases?

All over the USA, schools are wrestling with those questions. Read these arguments. Then decide for yourself.

Yes! Some Books Should Be Banned from School Libraries!

Many parents believe that there should be certain limits（限定）. Books that include violence(暴力）or bad words shouldn't be in schools. Some parents think Harry Potter books have no place in school libraries because they talk about wizards and magic.

Most parents know what's good for kids. They have a right to decide which books should or should not be in school libraries.

Books should be checked before they are put in schools. Is this a good book for kids to read?

Is it full of violence? Does it have bad words or ideas kids shouldn't learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a school library.

No! Books Should Not Be Banned from School Libraries!

Why should a few parents stop all kids from reading stories like Harry Potter?

"Parents should decide what their own kids read," said Natalie Nicole, of Denver, Colorado.

Many experts say that it's the parents' job, not the school's job, to check out what their kids are reading. If they don't like a book, they should not let their kids read it.

Many schools let kids borrow certain books if they have a signed（签名的）paper from their parents. That works fine. A parent doesn't sign the paper if he or she doesn't want the child to read the book. Other kids can read the book if they are allowed.

Some books are not OK for all kids to read. But if more adults were careful about what their own kids read, they wouldn't have to ban books from the library.

【1】The underlined word "approve of " has the closest meaning to "______________".

A.borrow B.accept C.read D.write

【2】Some parents don't think Harry Potter books should be in school libraries because

A.they talk about wizards and magic B.this kind of books will bring bad luck

C.kids don't have a signed paper for the books D.they have nothing to do with children's studies

【3】The underlined word "That" refers to

A.Reading books with kids B.Allowing kids to read widely

C.Signing before borrowing books D.Letting kids choose books themselves

【4】Which of the following would Natalie Nicole most probably agree?

A.Schools should provide a reading list for the students.

B.All the kids should be allowed to read Harry Potter books.

C.Libraries should ban the books some parents don't support.

D.Kids' choices of books should be made by their own parents.

26、Many people like to search the Internet. Exploring the Internet is one of the most important activities of the day. The Internet brings the outside world closer to people’s homes. Some people say the world is smaller than before because of the Internet.

What’s going on in other countries? How do people live in places far away? Is there a good sports game somewhere? What’s the life like in the deepest part of sea? If you want to answer all these questions, just come to the Internet. Of course, people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio. But with the Internet they can learn better and more easily. A lot of information can be collected at a great speed.

Can we go shopping without leaving home? Can we see a doctor without going to the hospital? Can we study without going to school? Can we draw money without going to bank? All these things seemed to be impossible, but now they have become quite possible.

The Internet helps us open our eyes. The Internet also helps open our minds. The Internet often gives us new ideas. In a word, it helps us in many ways. Great changes have taken place in our life since the appearance of the Internet.

28、   Emma and Emily are twins. They look so similar that even their parents have d【1】telling the differences between them just by appearance. But actually the girls are different in most other ways. For example, Emma likes spicy food, while Emily p【2】 sweet food. Emma loves the color indigo, while Emily loves the color violet. Emma likes studying at night, while Emily would r【3】 do it in the morning.

So the twins often argue (争论) about lots of things. Here is a real case. When Emma saidwaking up early in the morning was terrible, Emily argued. “Mornings are fresh. The air in the morning can always c【4】 me up. On the contrary (相反), I think it's difficult to stay up late when you feel so sleepy!” In the end, their parents made a d【5】 to put an end to their argument and taught them that they could b【6】be correct. But the girls remained skeptical (怀疑的).

That day, their father s【7】 Emma stand on one side of a board and Emily on the other side. They couldn’t see each other's side. Their father asked, "What color is the board, girls?” Emma said it was black, while Emily said it was white. They started arguing again. The father asked them to c【8】 places. They were both quite surprised to d【9】 that the board on Emma’s side had been painted black and on Emily’s side had been painted white. Both of them were correct.

Many of us are just like Emma and Emily. We may insist (坚持) that we are right most of the time, only to find out that o【10】 can be right as well.
