26、George Gershwin was born in New York City in 1898. His parents were Russian Jews who had immigrated to the United States. George and his two brothers and sister had a close, happy family life. George liked playing games on the streets of New York. He liked exploring the city. He did not like school or studying.

While exploring the city, George heard jazz and blues music in and out of public drinking places. However, he did not become seriously interested in music until he heard another boy playing the violin in a concert at his school. George began to take piano lessons. His teacher was a fine classical musician. He immediately recognized George's unusual ability. The teacher wrote about him to a friend: "I have a student who will make his mark in music, if anybody will. The boy is a genius, without doubt. "

George studied classical piano. But his strongest interest continued to be jazz and popular music. At the age of fifteen, he left school and went to work in the music business.  At that time, the New York City street where most music publishers had their offices was called "Tin Pan Alley."

George Gershwin was now a real composer. The rest of his life was an unbroken record of success. He wrote song after song. His ideas were so endless that he was not even troubled when he once lost some music he had been writing. "There is plenty more where that came from," he said.

George Gershwin had his first big hit in 1919, when he was twenty-one years old. It was a song called "Swanee." A popular entertainer, Al Jolson, sang the song. "Swanee" was made into one of the first musical recordings. George Gershwin was suddenly famous.

28、How to make friends at a new school

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 【1】However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.

Be yourself.

【2】If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.

【3】

Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!

Believe in yourself.

A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact(目光接触) with other people. 【4】Then introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.

Remember people’s names.

29、Physical education(体育), or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students receive physical education? The answer is certainly “Yes.”

Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.

The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症). The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as computer games, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.

Not doing sports increases teens’ hazard of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be prevented by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.

According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的)performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean?

A．Making teens attach importance to exercise later.

31、根据课文内容，填入适当形式的单词。

At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people 【1】 ( speak) English. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because  【2】 that, English began to 【3】 (speak) in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.

Native English speakers can understand each other even 【4】 they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:

British Betty: Would you like to see my 【5】?

American Amy: Yes, I’d like to come up to your apartment.

So why has English changed 【6】 time? Actually all languages change and develop 【7】 cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English 【8】(speak) in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more 【9】German than the English we speak now.

Then gradually  between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those 【10】 ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary.

32、One morning, Mr Hare（野兔）was running on the road. Suddenly he saw Mr Tortoise（乌龟）, who was also running on the road towards him. Mr Hare ran up to Mr Tortoise and laughed at him. Mr Tortoise got angry and wouldn't take failure lying down, so he suggested having a race to see who could first get to the big tall tree by the roadsides. Mr Hare agreed with him without hesitation(犹豫). The race began. Mr Hare and Mr Tortoise started from the same line at the same time.

When Mr Hare was far ahead of Mr Tortoise and even couldn't see Mr Tortoise, he thought that Mr Tortoise fell behind and couldn't catch up with him. So he stopped and lay down to have a nap. But soon he fell asleep. At the same time, Mr Tortoise kept on running and running. When Mr Hare woke up, he found Mr Tortoise had already sat under the tree and was smiling at him!
