A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the money box without stopping, and continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.
The outlines were: in a common environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected situation?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?”
1.Few people stopped to listen to Joshua Bell playing because______.
A. people were in a hurry
B. they were not interested in music
C. it was too cold in the subway
D. the performance was not good enough
2.When children stopped to look at the violinist, their parents ______.
A. would give him some money
B. would stop to enjoy the music
C. would applaud for the performance
D. would urge them to continue walking
3.Joshua Bell played in the metro station in order to ______.
A. make more money
B. practice his skills in playing music
C. made an advertisement for his concert
D. find out people’s reaction under such a circumstance
4.The purpose of the passage is to _____.
A.set us to think about our life
B.show us how to play music
C.tell us the importance of music
D.report a subway performance

Dear David,
I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me.It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before you’re about to become a father.You are asking: Will I make a good father? How will I cope? I think nearly every man must have the occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy before the birth.
It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to.The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home.But as he walks through the office door, and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff for advice, he grows into a fully mature man.And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progress of states, from the baby to the adult.Most people feel, on Tuesday, about three years old, and on a Wednesday, around 80.
There’s a common remark that“all men are little boys”, but it’s not true.It’s more true that men often behave like little boys.But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are able to be greatly mature..Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike.When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it.
Comfort yourself, David, with two truths.One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened.And remember that people who haven’t grown up don’t go around talking about the fact.
Good luck to you and your little one.
Sincerely Yours,
Miss Advice
1.According to the passage, Miss Advice thinks David’s self-doubt ________.
A.valuable B.unusual C.natural D.bearable
2.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that people’s sense of maturity ________.
A.will increase with age
B.is obviously seen at home
C.changes with different situations
D.becomes stronger with familiar people
3.Miss Advice holds that ________.
A.a(chǎn)ll men behave like little boys
B.people tend to laugh at the subject
C.men with a baby feel more grown-up
D.people enjoy talking about their immaturity
4.Miss Advice wrote the letter to ________.
A.offer suggestions to a future father
B.teach people how to grow up

LONDON (Reuters)—Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep.That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it.If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.
“Organic produce is always better,” Gold said.“The food is free of pesticides(農(nóng)藥), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
1.More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because _____.
A.they are getting richer
B.they can get the food anywhere
C.they like home-grown fruit
D.they consider the food free of pollution
2.Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain?
A.It grows indoors all year round.
B.It is grown on family farms
C.It is produced outside Britain.
D.It is produced on large farms.
3.What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text?
A.better quality of organic food.
B.growing interest in organic food.
C.rising market for organic food.
D.higher prices of organic food.
4.What is the best title for this news story?
A.The making of organic food in Britain.
B.Organic food—to import or not?
C.Good qualities of organic food.
D.Organic food—healthy, or just for the wealthy?
