         He wasn't sick. He wasn't old. And he wasn't losing. He had a very good final season and won his
    last game in 2008. And then he walked away.
         Lloyd Carr was 62. That's a few years earlier than retirement (退休) age in America and many years
    earlier than some college football coaches say goodbye. How was Carr, who coached University of
    Michigan, able to leave so easily?
        " It can be intoxicating," Carr admits. "The Saturday afternoons and the crowds. And when you win,
    there's nothing like it."
         But the job needs hard work. The pressure to win. The endless training. The hours are so long that
    sleeping at the office is a normal thing. I reported Carr's career at Michigan from 1995 to 2007. I saw
    him run onto the field before 100,000 cheering fans, saw him enjoy a share of a national championship
    with a 12-0 season.
         And when I visited him recently in retirement, the difference was noticeable. He seems much calmer,
    relaxed, more at peace. He says, "As much fun as it is, there's a period when you have other things to
    deal with."
         Carr knew he wanted to travel, see the world, read more, do other work. He is now connected with
    a children's hospital, does some speaking, plays golf, and enjoys relaxing with his wife, Laurie, and their
    many grandchildren.
         Several of today's big-name coaches are all about Carr's retirement age. Nick Saban turns 59 this
    month. Jim Tressel is 57. Frank Beamer is already 63. None of them seems to be slowing down.
         So when, I ask Carr, is the right moment to leave such a great job?
         He thinks. Finally, he says, "When you love it and can still walk away from it. That's the right moment."
    1.  Lloyd Carr stopped working as a coach because he _______.
    A. was too old                
    B. was injured seriously    
    C. had other things to experience  
    D. followed others' examples
    2. The underlined word "intoxicating" in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
    A. exciting  
    B. disappointing  
    C. surprising  
    D. puzzling
    3. It can be inferred from the text that Lloyd Carr ________.
    A. was always free after retirement
    B. was a failure as a football coach
    C. missed the time when he coached
    D. enjoyed his retirement life very much
    4. The author is most probably ________.
    A. a football player        
    B. Lloyd Carr's assistant
    C. a retired coach          
    D. a sports reporter

         Let's say you took violin lessons all through elementary school, but you haven't got the instrument out
    of its case for years. Were all those lessons a waste of your parents' money because you didn't become a
    violinist?
         Even though it has been a long time since you played the violin, a new study shows that as little as one
    year of music training can have a positive impact (影响) on your brain that will last the rest of your life.
         In an experiment, researchers compared children who had taken music lessons to those who hadn't.
    Laurel Trainor, who studies music and the mind, discovered that the musically-trained children had better
    brain responses in certain sound recognition exams. Trainor's findings show the possibility that musical
    education can actually improve the brain's hearing cortex(大脑皮层). "The study's results show that
    music training affects attention and memory, and helps children develop learning skills. In this way music
    training might lead to better learning across a number of fields," Trainor said in a statement. The effects
    of music education are even more obvious on children with difficulty in reading and writing and other
    language-related disabilities.
          So, whether you can play a good piece of music or not, it's likely that your years of music lessons
    have prepared your brain for all the speeches, emails, and adult conversations that are part of your life
    today. We should help make sure that children today have the same opportunities for music, and help
    out by volunteering with or donating instruments to your school's music education department.
    1. Compared with children who haven't taken music lessons, musically-trained children _______.
    A. sing better          
    B. do better in exams  
    C. recognize sounds better   
    D. response more quickly
    2. According to the study, we know musical education can _____.
    A. change the structure of the brain
    B. improve children's learning skills
    C. help children focus their attention
    D.  provide more memorizing methods
    3. What can we learn from the text?
    A. Adults should also take some music lessons.
    B. The author has taken violin lessons when he was young.
    C. Even a day's music training can affect the human brain.
    D. Music training can also help children with certain disabilities.

         The bar-tailed godwit (斑尾鹬) has just broken its own record for the world's longest non-stop flight,
    including humans in planes, according to a report made by Lund University Press. The bird can fly
    non-stop for eight days, while the most impressive man-made airplane can only remain in the sky for 82
    hours without a stop.
         The bar-tailed godwit's journey, from Alaska to New Zealand, covers over 6,835 miles. It completes
    this trip twice a year, in autumn going to New Zealand, and in spring back to Alaska. The tireless bird
    ends the trip without stopping once for food or rest. All other birds can only finish trips that are twice as
    short as what the bar-tailed godwit travels.
         One reason for the bar-tailed godwit's success is that it has made the best use of its fuel, which is only 0.41 percent of its body weight over each hour of any given long flight. Hedenstrom, a professor from
    Lund University, says, "This figure is extremely low compared with other birds." The bird also has a
    special body shape that helps it fly easily. It stores body fat and protein to manage its trips. It also travels
    fast, compared to other birds and animals.
         Many questions remain about this bird record holder that never gets lost in the air. Researchers
    wonder whether it has an inside compass (指南针) that helps it to know the direction. Please watch how
    beautiful bar-tailed godwits look as they come in for a landing, along with other birds.
    1. For the flight from Alaska to New Zealand, the bar-tailed godwit _____.
    A. doesn't need to stop to eat
    B. is afraid of hot weather
    C. seems very tired at last
    D. should fly less than 7000 metres
    2. The main reason why the bar-tailed godwit can break the record is that it ______.
    A. eats little food every hour
    B. has a special body shape
    C. stores much water in its body  
    D. has very light body weight
    3. The last paragraph tells us that ________.
    A. researchers have understood the bird very well
    B. the bird has a very good sense of direction
    C. there are still many who doubt the bird's ability
    D. the bird has an inner compass
    4. What is the text mainly about?
    A. A bird that breaks the record for the longest non-stop flight.
    B. Birds and airplanes that can fly over a long distance.
    C. Reasons for the bar-tailed godwit's long-distance flight.
    D. An introduction to long-distance flights of birds and humans.

          Do you prefer to travel by plane or by train? To my opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages
    traveling both by plane and by train. Travel by plane is time-saving, comfortably, and you can have a
    good rest on the trip,but it is too expensive. Unless you travel by train, it is not expensive and quite safety
    and you can appreciate the beautiful scenery on both side of the railway. However, it was too crowded
    and time-wasting, and we can take a good rest. So you can see every coin has two sides. You'd better
    to choose either of them depend on your own interest and economy.
