1、英汉互译阅读下面短文，将文中画线的句子译成汉语或英语。

Why is music an important subject that every child should study?

First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different kinds of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. 1.我们可以听我们喜欢的音乐。And second,   music is fun. People enjoys playing a drum and using their energy.

2.科学家们认为孩子们应该被允许学习音乐。They say music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. Music improves the ear and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and pronounce them much better. 3.Students who have learnt to play music are also better at math. This is not surprising,   as music is mathematical (数学的), with notes in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a party. Children who play in school bands enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.

We need a lot of practice to play an instrument,   and it can be difficult for parents to ask their child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. 4.So music practice should be a daily habit, but do not make the practice too long.

Parents should listen to their child playing and tell him or her that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. 5. It’s also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a relaxing part of the day.

25、It is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process in people? For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age.

Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus（下丘脑）. The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body. They include growth, reproduction and the way we process food.

Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.

What are stem cells? They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs.

Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature.

“Aging speed is controlled, can be controlled by a particular place in the body, which is the hypothalamus. And it can be controlled by a particular type of cells, which are hypothalamus stem cells.” He adds that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body. “So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging.”

Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells. Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength and coordination of the animals’ muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive （认知的）ability of the mice. The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals.

“When we injected the hypothalamus stem cells, which were derived from young mice, we injected them to the middle-aged mice and that was, in fact, to slow down aging. So the mouse aged slowly and they also have increased their lifespan, which is longevity.”

But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in human beings. “If we can translate what we have seen in animals to humans, I think humans, they can function better during later ages, later stage of aging.”

Cai and his team say their studies may have other benefits. They say the findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of age-related health issues.

【1】What do we know about the hypothalamus?

A．It’s located in the eyes.

B．It starts aging due to the increase of its stem cells.

C．It plays a key role in controlling the aging process.

D．It functions well when the body starts aging.

【2】What did the researchers do during the experiment?

A．They strengthened the muscles of the mice.

B．They examined tissues and tested the behavior of mice.

C．They injected the stem cells into the younger mice.

D．They changed the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice.

【3】What do we know about the study done by Cai?

A．They have found a way to turn back the aging process.

B．The brain controls growth, reproduction and the way we process food.

C．The decrease of hypothalamus stem cells can lead to aging.

D．The finding has been applied to human being.

【4】What would the researchers probably do next?

A．Inject stem cells of young mice into humans.

B．Research on the cognitive psychology.

C．Help human beings live longer.

D．Do similar experiments on human beings.

【5】Which of the following can be the best titles for the passage?

A．How human being age

B．A new discovery about cells

C．The ways of slowing down aging

D．Researchers use brain cells to control aging in mice

26、Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He found it was strange.

‘I don’t know why， but I frightened your grandmother a lot. When I arrived， I gave her a purse from Dongtai. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider (蜘蛛) on the table， and I killed it for her. She seemed very unhappy. Do English people like spiders?

‘Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop front， so there was a ladder. Grandmother stopped me from walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought some lovely rose soap for my mother， a smart umbrella for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back， I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to check if it was all right. Your grandmother came in and screamed!

‘Then I broke a small mirror in the bathroom. Your grandmother’s face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left， I gave your grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She didn’t like them.’

I explained to Lu， ‘My grandmother follows the old customs. You must not give someone an empty purse， or they will have no money. You must not kill a “money spider”， or the same will happen. Also it is very unlucky to walk under a ladder or put new shoes on the table. An open umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years’ bad luck， and 13 is also a very unlucky number. You were really making my grandmother very afraid.’

A. Excited.  B. Satisfied.

C. Afraid. D. Happy.

27、What will the future be like? There may be many new achievements (成就) in science and technology. Maybe our planet will become difficult to live on. Maybe human life will become very convenient. As for future life, everyone has his own ideas. Here are some of my ideas about the future.

I think three things can sum up my ideas. The first is clean energy. We will have more and more clean energy. The pollution will be reduced. The second is artificial intelligence (人工智能). Robots have already played an important part in our life. In the future, robots will take the place of many workers. But everything has two sides. If robots take the place of many workers, many people will be jobless (失业的). It’s not good. And the third is traffic. We will have fast transportation. The traffic will be quicker. I hope there will be more ways to deal with current traffic problems.

I have my own ideas about my future life. I think I will have a simpler life. I believe that I will live in a comfortable and quiet house with my family. What’s more, I will not need to worry about my parents’ health because everyone can live long.
