6．Music is magic!Music speaks louder than words and it is a"language"that the whole world can understand．A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind．Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal，music has a spiritual effect on a person．Different kinds of music influence people in different ways．
I have listened to music all my life．When I was twelve years old，the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up．Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America．Their influence changed the way we dressed，looked，acted and spoke…even our culture．The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination（暗殺） of President John Kennedy，which had put America into a great depression．And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself．
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer．This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it．And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world．Music has a great way of touching people．Music can make you laugh，cry or shout．It's also a great source of inspiration．
Try this one day and notice what happens：make yourself a cup of tea，sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs．Close your eyes，and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images-matching the music that you are listening to．

A．is a kind of language
B．can be played much louder than words
C．receives a personal radio signal

One day，my neighbors were mowing their lawn （草坪）．My garbage cans were near their lawn．For some strange reason，I found the wife looking through my garbage cans．I felt angry but since they were from a different culture，I thought that maybe it was"normal"from their ideas．
That afternoon，the couple knocked on my front door．When I opened，they gave me a plastic bag．Inside were my old daily bills，credit cards and bank statements，and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent．They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others．
I've heard of it before．I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience，which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us．The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills．They also had a"nosy neighbour"who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange．Little did they know that this"nosy neighbor"was collecting their personal information from their rubbish．Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor．
It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left．I was very thankful．They were not nosy neighbors．They simply didn't want us to experience the same thing that they did．

15．When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines，Iowa，he told me about the only time he had been there．It was in the 1930s，when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU） in Dallas，Texas．He also worked as a professor at SMU，and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease．She couldn't afford the operation because her family was poor．
Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston，a seaside town near Houston，Texas．She was cleaning out the attic（閣樓） one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）．On its top page were the words，"By O．Henry．"It was a nice story，and she sent it to her daughter at SMU，who showed it to my father．My father had never read the story before，but it sounded like O．Henry，and he knew that O．Henry had once lived in Houston．So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse，and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident．My father visited an O．Henry expert at Columbia University in New York，who authenticated the story as O．Henry's．

My father never told me what the O．Henry story was about．But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story．
24．Who found the O．Henry's manuscript？A
A．The girl's mother．
B．The author's father．
C．The girl．
D．The author．
25．Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic？B

B．O．Henry once stayed in Galveston．
C．O．Henry once moved to Des Moines．
D．O．Henry once taught at SMU．
26．The underlined word"authenticated"in Paragraph 2probably means"C"．
A．named              
B．treated       
C．proved          
D．described
27．According to the text，why did the author's father go to Des Moines？A
