| On the first day of my school life in the USA, I showed a great interest in my marketing class.

The first 4 was to raise money for marketing activities and competitions later in the year by selling Gold Canyon Candles. Mrs. King said the money was 5 in a week and that 40 percent of the income would go into my personal account. At first I tried to sell some candles to my host mom. She said that if I could show 6 and do a wonderful sales presentation, she would 7 buy some. I started my presentation with a firm handshake. Then I introduced all the different kinds of candles and the special sales I could offer and 8 her that our candles were the best choice for gifts and home decorations.

| As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light. A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase,"Oh, yes!" Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word. One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words "Oh, yes!" I opened my mouth and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection. Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking (模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child's light. |

| A. surprised B. pleased C. frightened D. upset |
| 4. What message does the author want to convey to readers most? |

| Land Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale (规模). Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago. Land art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋码头), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake. Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art. It can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable. Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay (衰落). That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists. |
| 1. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that _____. |
| A. Land Art aims to get people interested in nature B. American artists were the first to create Land Art C. Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s D. people have been creating Land Art for thousands of years |
| 2. All of the following are used to design the Spiral Jetty EXCEPT ______. |
| A. plants B. stones C. salt D. mud |
| 3. Which of the following statements about Robert Smithson is TRUE? |
| A. He made the most famous Land Art. B. He is an American artist. C. He is a pioneer in creating Land Art. D. He lives near the Great Salt Lake. |
| 4. Land Art is attractive to the artists partly because ______. |
| A. it makes use of the landscape around B. it offers the artists a chance to change nature C. it will develop and be destroyed gradually by natural processes D. it shows the extreme beauty of nature because artists use natural material |

| While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress. ◆Try physical activity When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. ◆Take care of yourself You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can't sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. ◆Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy. ◆Make a list of things to do Stress can come from disorganization and a feeling that"there's so much to do, and not enough time". Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task first. |

| William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry. Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama. Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition. He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now his valued as a manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines: Earth, recive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel (船) lie Emptied of its poetry |
| 1. Which of the following can describe Yeats's family? |
| A. It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter. B. It had an artistic atmosphere. C. It was shocked by Yeats's choice. D. It was a typically wealthy family. |
| 2. According to these passage, what do we know about Yeats's life? |
| A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater. B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry. C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s. D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize. |
| 3. What kind of feeling is expressed in W.H. Auden's lines? |
| A. Envy B. Sympathy C. Emptiness D. Admiration |
| 4. What is the passage mainly about? |
| A. Yeats's literary achievements B. Yeats's historical influence C. Yeats's artistic ambition D. Yeats's national honor |
