     As a music teacher, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can   1    all kinds of
barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the   2    for each child to find their light. I
would like to    3    a story about it.
     For a few years I was   4    with the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most    5   
students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak.
We   6      sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to    7     on my lap(膝上). One of
her favorite songs was "John the Rabbit. " It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the
students     8   twice while singing the repeating phrase, "Oh, yes! " Vanessa liked to    9    her hands
together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa
and I clapping together. But she   10     said or sang a word.
     One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around,   11     me in the eye, clapped her
tiny hands twice and said the words " Oh, yes 1" I opened my mouth in    12     and for that moment I
was the one who could not speak. When my heart    13     started beating again, I looked over at the
assistant teacher to find her also    14     Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
     Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town. She waved with a big     15     on her face
and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had     16    so many times in our music class.
The little girl,   17     her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every
child has the    18    to learn and grow. It is up to us to   19     the way to reach each and every one
of our students. We all must find each child's   20     .

     Where do most writers get their ideas? For Yoshiko Uchida, it all began with Brownie, a
five-month-old puppy. So excited was Yoshiko by Brownie’s arrival that she started keeping a
journal, writing about all the wonderful things Brownie did and the progress he made.
     Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their
first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories
about animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing
the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes.
     Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in
Japan, provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of
visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshiko’s stories. One visitor who later appeared
in several of Yoshiko’s stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her
family attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and
loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯响) when he talked.
     Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had.
One of her favorite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm,
showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the
henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others
rode in the back, staring up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had
never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement
about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she
used them in several of her stories.
     The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life
became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as
The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit
of the world and the times in which this great writer grew up.

1. The author tells about Mr. Toga’s false teeth in Paragraph 3 in order to ____________.

A. show health care was not good enough in Berkeley during the 1930s
B. provide an interesting detail in Yoshiko’s life and stories
C. show Yoshiko’s young life was difficult and frightening
D. tell about a beloved relative who helped Yoshiko learn how to write

2. In Paragraph 4 “the stars” probably refer to ____________.

A. family relationships
B. terrors in the night
C. limitless possibilities
D. sacrifices to benefit others

3. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?

A. Yoshiko loved to write about parades.
B. Yoshiko met many interesting people.
C. Yoshiko liked to go for long walks with others.
D. Yoshiko preferred to talk to her pets instead of to people.

4. What is the main idea of this story?

A. People who live in the city should spend as much time as they can in the country.
B. Writers like Yoshiko Uchida must communicate with as many writers as possible.
C. Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years.
D. Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for writing sources.

     Ten years ago, Pierre Omidyar, a software engineer working in California’s Silicon Valley, began
thinking about how to use the internet for a trading system in which buyers and sellers could establish
a genuine market price. Over a long holiday weekend he wrote the computer code. At first, a trickle
of users arrived at his website-including his girlfriend, who traded PEZ candy dispensers. By the end
of 1995, several thousand auctions had been completed and interest in eBay was growing. And it grew
and grew. From this modest beginning, eBay has become a global giant, with around 150m registered
users worldwide who are set to buy and sell goods worth more than $40 billion this year.
     The remarkable tale of eBay’s growth points to some important lessons for any business trying to
operate online-and today that includes, one way or another, most firms. The commercial opportunities
presented by an expanding global web seem almost limitless. But the pace of change is rapid, and so
is the ferocity（激烈）of competition. To succeed, firms need agility(灵活), an open mind and the
ability to reinvent themselves repeatedly. Most of all, they need to listen carefully to their customers,
paying close attention to what they do and don’t want.
     Such qualities, of course, would be valuable in any kind of business. Yet for online firms they are
not a luxury, but necessary for mere survival. This is true for a variety of reasons. The internet is not
only growing, but changing rapidly-which, in turn, changes the rules of the game for any business
relying on it. The barriers to entry are still low compared with those for most offline businesses,
which means that just keeping track of your existing rivals is not enough. These may not represent the
greatest competitive threat tomorrow or the next day. That could come from a number of
directions-a firm in a different type of online business; one that does not yet exist; or even from one
of your own customers. On top of all this, the behavior of many consumers is constantly changing
as well, as individuals discover new ways to shop and interact with each other via the web.
     All these factors make the internet a dangerous place to do business, as well as one full of
promise. eBay’s history demonstrates both of those things. It is probably safe to say that nothing
like eBay could have existed without the internet-or could have grown so fast. Even though there have
been signs of the firm’s blistering(快速的) pace slowing a bit in America, its most “mature” market,
there remain vast opportunities overseas, particularly, some argue, in China. Meg Whitman, eBay’s
chief executive, believes the company is still only at the beginning of what it could achieve.

1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To introduce the founder of eBay and his girlfriend.
B. To demonstrate how clever the founder of eBay is.
C. To show how eBay started and has grown.
D. To introduce eBay to people.

2. Which of the following best summarizes Pierre Omidyar’s intention with regard to eBay?

A. To set up a global internet business.
B. To allow people to freely buy and sell on the internet at acceptable prices.
C. To set up a mechanism on the internet to allow people to trade at true market prices.
D. To se up a business mechanism for his girlfriend.

3. Which of these is it NOT necessary for a company selling on the internet to do?

A. Have the most competitive price for each of their online products.
B. Be able to change to suit the prevailing（流行的，优势的）market conditions.
C. Be prepared to consider all options and alternatives.
D. Have a good idea of what their customers do not want.

4. What does “barriers to entry are still low compared with those for most offline businesses”
       in paragraph 3 mean?

A. It is easier to set up an internet business than a conventional one.
B. Internet trade is growing faster than traditional business sector.
C. It is cheaper to set up an internet business than a traditional one.
D. Companies generally prefer to do business online rather than offline.

5. Why does the article conclude that the internet “is a dangerous place to do business”?

A. Because companies that sell online may be unreliable.
B. Because there are no controls on doing business on the internet.
C. Because doing business online is unpredictable.
D. Because even companies like eBay have problems doing business online.

     If there is one thing that matters in high school－and for your whole life－it is friendships．
My latest novel，THE UNWRITTEN RULE，is about a girl，Sarah，who falls for her best friend
Brianna’s boyfriend，Ryan，but it’s more about wrestling with feelings for a guy that you know you
shouldn’t have．A lot of the book deals with friendship，the kind of lifelong friendship that means the
world to you．．．and what happens when you realize that maybe it isn’t what you think it is．
     Maybe your best friend isn’t your best friend．Maybe she isn’t even a friend at all．
Friendships are tricky things．You can he sure everything is fine，and that your friendship is going
to last forever．．．and it can just end．No explanation，no anything．And it is not easy．In fact，
I think losing a friend is worse than losing a boyfriend，especially when it is a friend you’ve had in
your life for a long time．
     One of the things that Sarah struggles with in THE UNWRITTEN RULE，beyond her feelings
for Ryan，is her friendship with Brianna-how long they’ve been friends，how she understands Brianna
in a way no one else does，and what to do when a crack appears in their friendship，not because
of Sarah’s feelings for Ryan，but because Sarah begins to wonder if maybe Brianna isn’t her best
friend after all．
     Having a friendship end is incredibly painful and one of the things I hated when I was younger-and
that I still hate now-is how people say．“Oh，it’ll be okay．You’ll move on，you’ll be fine．”
     It is true that you will eventually move on and that you will be fine．But you will also always carry
that lost friendship with you．It may not take up all of your heart like it does at first，but it will take
 part of it．
     And that，I think，is something no one ever talks about and that I wish we could - and would．
     What do you do when someone you are friends with decides your friendship is over?    
     How do you deal with it?
     Maybe my latest novel can provide something for you．

1. From the passage we can infer that.

A. it may takes Sarah a long time to recover after she lost Brianna’s friendship
B. Sarah and Brianna are still best friends after a long period of time
C. Sarah does not value Brianna’s friendship at all

     BEIJING (AFP) - Archeologists in China have uncovered more than 3，000 dinosaur footprints，
state media reported，in an area said to be the world’s largest grouping of fossilized hones belonging
to the ancient animals．
     The footprints，believed to be more than 100 million years old，were discovered after a
three-month excavation(发掘、出土) at a gully in Zhucheng in the eastern province of Shandong，

predators(食肉动物)，Wang added．
     Archeologists have found dinosaur fossils at some 30 sites in Zhucheng，known as “dinosaur
city．”The region has seen two major digs since 1964，and experts say the discovery of so many
 dinosaurs in such a dense area could provide clues on how the animals became extinct millions of
