26、It was a chilly night in winter. A man came home from work late, tired to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, how much money do you make each hour?" "If you must know, I make $20 each hour."
"Oh, "the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, "Daddy, could you lend me $10?" The father was furious, "If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why you are so selfish!"
The little boy went to his room with no words and shut the door. After a short while, the father calmed down, and started to think, "Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn't really ask for money very often. "So he went to the little boy's room.
"Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now." said the man, "Here's $10."
"Oh, thank you Daddy!" he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
"Why do you want more money since you already have some?" the father shouted angrily. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do." The little boy replied, "Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy one hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

27、 As the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.
Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)
Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作曲). The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.
Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)
Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court(宫廷) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.
Frederic Chopin (1810-1849)
Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.
Franz Schubert(1797-1828)
Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors(前辈),Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.
【1】Beethoven did Not make a living by ___.
A.teaching students B.doing business
C.selling his works D.giving concerts
【2】Bach worked as an organist in Weimar until _____.
A.1765 B.1707 C.1750 D.1716

A.They all lived a hard life at their old age.

28、Twentyfive years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame (名声) and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
【1】What do young people like David do on the Internet?
A.Learn from others.
B.Become an online hit.
C.Hold running races.
D.Mix jobs with hobbies.
【2】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B.The Internet is influencing young Britons' career choice.
C.The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D.Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet.
【3】Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?
A.Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B.There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C.The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D.Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
【4】What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A.Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B.A vlogger cannot earn fame and fortune.
C.People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D.Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
29、For the first time in two years, our school held a Halloween homecoming dance. This year’s homecoming was around a recent soccer victory against the neighboring school. Everyone was in a particularly festive mood.
At the same time, for a safer gathering during the COVID-19, we were required to hold the dance outdoors if we wanted to go mask-free. This was unfortunate because temperatures in Boston were expected to be no higher than 10℃ that night. Later, I realized that the cold was the least of my worries.
We sent apology letters out to the neighbors surrounding the school and told them to expect loud music on Oct 29. Then on that Friday night, members of the Student Union gathered together to decorate the tent provided by the school as a protection from the cold.
After two hours of blowing balloons, putting fake spider webs on trees and setting up the food table, people started showing up in their costumes. I ran away to the bathroom to dress up. Having seen all the news about Asian hate in the US, I decided that it was important to present Asian spirit — thus I proudly dressed myself up in a traditional Chinese qipao.
When I got outside again, the dance was in full swing. There was a DJ spinning songs, and the lights were flashing away, though no one was on the dance floor yet. However, things took a sharp turn when a familiar song — Gangnam Style by South Korean singer Psy — came on, and the dance floor was never empty again until the end of the evening. With every beat drop, the crowd jumped crazily to the beat, and I followed along. My feet hurt so much at the end of the evening, but I’ll admit that it was worth all of the excitement I experienced.
【1】What can we learn about the homecoming dance?
A.It was our school’s first-ever homecoming.
B.It was celebrated after a sports victory.
C.It was held to fight against COVID-19.
D.It aimed to compete with another school.
【2】What was the challenge they had faced in preparation?
A.Requirements for mask wearing outdoors.
B.A lack of decorating materials.
C.Noise complaints from neighbors.
D.Low temperature at night.
【3】Why was the author dressed herself in qipao?
A.To stop Asian hate.
B.To promote Halloween spirit.
C.To show Asian culture.
D.To show her uniqueness.
【4】What docs the underlined phrase “in full swing” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Going well and strong.
B.Getting well prepared.
C.Getting started officially.
D.Being in an awkward silence.
