| Frederic Francois Chopin, the famous composer and pianist,was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland, on February 22,1810, of a French father and a Polish mother. His father, Nicholas Chopin, was a French tutor to many noble families, later accepting a position as a French teacher at the Warsaw Lyceum. Although Chopin later attended the Lyceum where his father taught , his early training began at home. This included receiving piano lessons from his mother. By the age of six, Chopin was creating original pieces, showing remarkable musical ability. His parents arranged for the young Chopin to take piano instruction from Wojciech Zywny. When Chopin was sixteen, he attended the Warsaw Conservatory of Music, directed by composer Joseph Elsner. Elsner, like Zywny, insisted on the traditional training associated with classical music but allowed his students to investigate more original imaginations of the romantic style as well. As often happened to the young musicians of both the Classical and Romantic Periods, Chopin was sent to Vienna,the center of music that day. He gave piano concerts and then arranged to have his pieces published by a Viennese publishing house there. While Chopin was in Austria,Poland and Russia were in the apparent beginnings of war.He returned to Warsaw to get his things in preparation for a more permanent move. While there, his friends gave him a silver goblet filled with Polish soil. He kept it always, as he was never able to return to his beloved Poland. News of the war in Poland inspired Chopin to write many sad musical pieces expressing his grief for " his" Poland. Among these was the famous " Revolutionary Etude". As the war continued in Warsaw and then reached Paris, Chopin retired to Scotland with friends. Although he was far beyond the reach of the revolution, his attitude of sorrow did not improve and he sank deeper into a depression. Likewise, his health did not regain either. Chopin died at the age of 39 and was buried in Paris. His last request was that the Polish soil in the silver goblet be cast over his grave. |

| A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie,was still working in the local school cafeteria. But work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-$7, 000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. "It really made a difference when we were going under financially, says Dave. But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars;in others, it was more than $100 ,000. It surprised nearly,eyeryone that the Hatches had so much money,more than $3 million-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm. Children of the Great Depression ,Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store , checking prices before making a new purchase. Through the years,the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it. "Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything," says their friend Sandy Van Weelden,"They could see things they could do to make you happier,and they would do them." Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches' wish that their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents-should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come. Neighbors helping neighbors-that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story. |

| A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world. In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源):land forcrops, wood for paper and other products ,land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees , generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now,but in the long run it actually reduces the world's wood supply. Rainforests are often called the world's drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than l% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests. |

| A.reflect more heat into the atmosphere B. bring about high rainfall throughout the world C. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃ D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth |
| 2. What does the word "this" underlined in the third paragraph refer to? |
| A. We will lose much more than we can gain. B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests. C. People have a strong desire for resources. D. Much carbon dioxide comes from buming rainforests. |
| 3. It can be inferred from the text that____________. |
| A. we can get enough resources without rainforests B. there is great medicine potential in rainforests C. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land D. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns |
| 4. What might be the best title for the text? |
| A. How to Save Rainforests B. How to Protect Nature C. Rainforests and the Environment D. Rainforests and Medical Development |
