For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes(音調(diào)). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.

As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.

Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The different is complex, and it doesn’t include defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.

Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(診斷). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No, thanks. I’m amusic.’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”

1. Which of the following is true of amusics?

A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.

B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.

C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.

D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.

2. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who _________.

A. dislikes listening to speeches

B. can hear anything nonmusical

C. has a hearing problem

D. lacks a complex hearing system

3. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.

A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier

B. she were seventeen years old rather than seventy

C. her problem could be easily explained

D. she were able to meet other amusics

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Amusics’ strange behaviors.

B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.

C. Musical talent and brain structure.

D. Identification and treatment of amusics.

You may never think a documentary film could have aroused so much public enthusiasm in Chinese history. Nowadays everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary (烹飪) landscape.

According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialties, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.

However, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film. Blue-vitriol watered chive, formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”

A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chinese proud ends like this: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry is a typical description of “bad money driving out the good”.The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for immoral businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations.

As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.

1.The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means_______.

A. delicious food B. latest technology

C. beautiful clothes D. great inventions

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about______.

A. the content of the documentary

B. the producer of the documentary

C. The popularity of the documentary

D. the history of Chinese gourmet

3. We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that _____.

A. the price of food is too high for many common people

B. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director

C. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality

D. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture

4.According to the passage, China’s food industry is full of faking and cheating because_____.

A. there are still so many poor people at the present time

B. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enough

C. the Chinese government encourages it to do so

D. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countries

Night after night, she came to tuck me in(掖好被子), even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I don't remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted at her: "Don't do that anymore — your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words rang in my mind. But pride overwhelmed my conscience, and I didn't tell her I was sorry.

Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it appeared in the back of my mind.

Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl any more. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. She's been our doctor, reaching for medicine to calm a young girl's stomach or ease the pain of a boy's injured knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could…and still insists on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night.

Through the years, my mother's hands have put in countless hours of toil, and most of hers were before automatic washers!

Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly stole across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.

In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my surly young voice complained: “Don't do that any more —your hands are too rough!” Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did. But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten —and forgiven —long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

1.Why was the author annoyed with her mother?

A. Her mother disturbed her rest by tucking her in.

B. She felt uncomfortable with her mother’s non-smooth hands.

C. Her mother leant down and kissed her forehead.

D. She was not accustomed to her mother’s action.

2. Which of the following best describes the author’s mother?

A. devoted and hardworking B. caring and intelligent

C. thoughtful but stubborn D. optimistic but careless

3. We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. The author lived separately from her mother

B. The author’s father has passed away

C. The author alone took care of her children

D. The author’s mother never kissed her again since that night

4. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?

A. To thank her mother’s help

B. To express her regret

C. To appreciate her mother’s love

D. To call up memories of her childhood.

Education is another area where the presence of arts and crafts is more than welcome. If children realize the importance of art and creativity from a young age, they can grow up to be more confident, more creative, and definitely more mature. Schools are the breeding（孕育）grounds for future painters and movie makers, and these arts should be encouraged wholesomely in such an environment.

Sadly, many parents do not understand why art is important for children, and subconsciously（潛意識(shí)地）force them to follow career paths that are common and conformist（墨守成規(guī)的）in nature. This is fair enough in its own way, because the world does need some standard blue collar and white collar jobs to continue its existence; but this is a choice that children should be allowed to make for themselves. The doors to creativity and expression must not be shut in their faces, even if it comes at a cost of making more money.

To put it more scientifically, here are some benefits of kids’ art activities that give a suitable answer to the question “Why is art important in schools?”

1.Exposure to art, music and drawings at an early age improves the amount of brain activity in children.

2.It increases the span of knowledge in the minds of children, thus making them sharper and more educated.

3.It builds up the levels of self-confidence, self-esteem（自尊）, motivation, cooperation and communication in children.

4.It helps children understand other people’s opinions and points of view as well.

5.It helps them sharpen their problem-solving skills, decision-making and gives them the possibility of really exploring their imaginations.

1.According to the passage, it is generally accepted that ____.

A.art plays a very important role in education of children

B.children are expected to be blue-collar or white-collar workers

C.schools should encourage children to learn arts and crafts

D.children should be allowed to make choices for themselves

2.The writer holds the view that ____.

A.schools should only bring up future painters and movie makers

B.children grow up to be more confident and more creative in schools

C.children should be encouraged to learn art to develop their creativity

D.art activities can help children solve all the problems they meet with

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Arts and crafts lessons are very popular in schools.

B.Art is not paid enough attention to in schools now.

C.Art activities improve the amount of brain activity.

D.Art education builds up the levels of self-confidence.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?
