26、Can you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students' academic growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student's sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.
The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.
【1】What can we learn about education with music classes?

【2】What do the two studies seem to show?
A.Students with great success attend music lessons.

【3】What does the example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggest?
A.Japan has a good relationship with America.
B.Music makes cross-cultural communication possible.
C.Different cultures have different styles of music.
D.Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano.
【4】What is the best title for the text?

27、One day an old woman was traveling alone in the mountains. Suddenly she saw something shining in the stream. When she came close, she found it was a precious stone. She put the stone into her bag and went on with her trip.
The next day the old woman met a young man, who was also a traveler in the mountains. The young man looked very hungry, so the old woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked carefully, “The stone is beautiful. Would you like to give it to me?”
“Sure. Why not?” the woman said, and handed the stone to him.
The young man left happily with the stone. He knew it was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman.
“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back and hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within your bag.”
The woman opened her bag. It was almost empty. She looked at the young man and smiled, “I have nothing special in my bag, but I do have something precious — the joy of giving!” The young man felt ashamed and left silently.

28、Have you ever wondered why certain pop songs just make you feel so good? Researchers studying the question found that uncertainty and surprise give listeners the most pleasure. The study included 80,000 chords(和弦)in 745 pop songs between 1958 and 1991.
Each song was stripped of its melody(旋律)and lyrics(歌词)so that only chords were left and the results couldn’t be misunderstood by other imaginations of the songs that listeners might have had.
They found two things. Listeners got great pleasure from unexpected chords when they knew what would happen. However, they still found it pleasant to hear familiar chords when they did not know what would follow.
Vincent Cheung, the lead researcher, said, "Pleasant songs are likely those which keep a good balance(平衡)between knowing what is going to happen next and surprising us with something we did not expect. Understanding how music starts our pleasure system in the brain could explain why listening to music might help us feel better when we are feeling blue.”
Cheung told CNN that pleasure in music is connected to expectation. The study before had looked into the effects of surprise on pleasure, but his team's study also paid attention to the uncertainty of listeners' expectations.
【1】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Removed.
B.Added.
C.Played.
D.Recorded.
【2】How did the researchers do the research?
A.They listened to lots of pop songs.
B.They focus on the chords in popular songs.
C.They imagined the songs that can make people pleased.
D.They found lots of songs and then compared each other.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Pleasant music can explain human nature.
B.Listening to music might make people feel blue.
C.Music can improve the pleasure system of people.
D.Pleasant music comes from the balance of expectation and surprise.
【4】What is the difference between Cheung's study and others' study?
A.His study only paid attention to chords in songs.
B.His study focused on the effects of surprise on pleasure.
C.His study took time to how music starts the pleasure system.
D.His study paid attention to the uncertainty of listeners' expectations.
29、Mountains are great places to spend your free time, but they can be dangerous if you’re not prepared. Imagine you went hiking with your friends or family and got lost while taking pictures of plants and animals. What if you couldn’t find your way back and had to wait until someone came and saved you? 【1】
Fire is important because mountains get cold at night, even in the summer. Fire also keeps dangerous animals away and can let people know where you are. 【2】 If you don’t have either of these, you can hit a rock against a piece of steel to make a spark(火花)and start a fire. Just make sure that the fire doesn’t spread!
【3】 Humans can’t live without water. If your drinking water runs out, you’ll need to find clean water as soon as possible. It’s best to look for running water, such as a stream or river. If you can’t find any, try digging a deep hole to find water underground. Or, if you have any empty containers(容器), you can use them to collect rainwater.
【4】 A cave can be a good shelter. If you can’t find one, find a dry area, build a frame(支架)with branches, and cover it with a blanket. If you don’t have a blanket, cover your body with a pile of leaves instead. 【5】
Remember, you should never go into the mountains without the right skills and equipment. But if you’re prepared, you’ll have a safe and enjoyable experience.
A.Finally, you will need some kind of shelter.
B.Another thing you’ll need is clean drinking water.
C.To survive, you’d need three things: fire, water and shelter.
D.You can survive for hours without shelter in ice conditions.
E.This will keep you dry on the rainiest nights and block the wind.
F.It’s important to keep your home warm to avoid health problems.
G.Therefore, you should always carry a lighter or a box of matches with you.
