There was once a elderly woman in a nursing home. She wouldn’t speak to anyone and request anything. She only existed, rocked in her creaky old rocking chair. The old woman didn’t have any visitors. But every morning, a concerned and wise young nurse will go into her room. She didn’t try to speak or ask question of the old lady. She simple pulled up another rocking chair beside the old woman and was rocked with her. Several weeks late, the old woman finally spoke. “Thank you,” he said. “Thank you for rocking me.”

I am an English dictionary. I can still remember the day my ex-owner bought me. He had stood in front of the shelf for around half an hour before finally picking me. Originally, he chose my neighbor. But because she had some ink on the cover, he put her down and chose me instead.

I may sound arrogant (傲慢的) . But please forgive me. I am so proud of my vocabulary. With 100,000 entries and 300,000 examples, I think no scholar can be more knowledgeable than me. My only weakness is that I can’t speak. But that is not my fault. I was not designed to speak in the first place. My ex-owner was supposed to read the phonetic symbols (音標(biāo)) clearly printed beside each word, which were also my selling point. I should have been respected but have ended up lying next to a piece of used toilet paper inside the rubbish bin.

It is all because of the electronic dictionary. He is the bad guy because he takes advantage of my one weakness. And I just don’t understand why he can be so slim. He also has about 100,000entries but 450,000 examples! But I know this was not the reason why my ex-owner was attracted, for he was not a very diligent (勤奮的) student and seldom read the examples listed. The main reason was that the bad guy had so many games in him. My ex-owner always pretended to be working hard while actually he was playing games.

My ex-owner put me on his bookshelf because of my awesome English name “Advanced English Dictionary”. He wanted people to think that he was an advanced learner. I wanted to tell him that it would be better if he hid the comic books standing next to me. But, you know, I can’t speak. I stood there for years. I was so bored. So I talked to the comic book next to me. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have talked to him because I was educated and he was not. But who else could I choose? He told me that my ex-owner had read him once only and then put him there. I was upset because he had never read me from page one to page 1,000. Was I not a better book than the comic book? I wanted to challenge his honesty but before I did so, he was thrown away.

I give up. My pages are absorbing waste water. There is no way people will use me again. Suddenly, I want to talk to the comic book. Would he talk to me if we met?

A new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel. Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major” is most often associated with bright yellow and orange, whereas his “Requiem in D Minor” is linked to bluish gray, the findings revealed.

US researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, enlisted nearly 100 subjects for a study on music and color. With 37 colors, the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter, more vivid, yellow colors, whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker, grayer, bluer colors.

“Surprisingly, we can predict with 95 percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,” said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.

In three experiments, the subjects listened to 18 classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow, medium, fast) and in major VS minor keys. In the first experiment, participants were asked to pick five of the 37 colors that best matched the music to which they were listening. Separately, they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad, strong to weak, lively to dull, and calm to angry.

Next, the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor. “We know that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,” Palmer said. “But we don’t yet know about China or Turkey.”

1.What can we know about Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No. 1 G Major”?

A. It is fast in pace.

B. It is slow in pace.

C. It makes us feel upset.

D. It makes us feel optimistic.

2.What did the US researchers find from the result of the new study?

A. There are colors that do not match any music.

B. People tend to connect happy colors to slow-paced music

C. There is a one-to-one connection between music and color.

D. People nearly do the same in picking colors for different music.

3. How did the researchers do the research?

A. By making predictions.

B. By researching journals.

C. By conducting experiments.

D. By studying famous musicians.

4.According to the text, the research mainly deals with __________

A. how colors or music influence our emotions

B. how emotions affect music-color connections

C. why we have different feelings towards music

D. why we have different feelings towards colors

In May, 2014, some Chinese tourists found a Chinese-character message “Ding Jinhao once visited here” on a statue of god in a 3500-year-old Egyptian temple. An angry tourist took the photograph of the scrawl and posted it on social media Sina Weibo. It was quickly spread and there were more than 100,000 comments during two weeks. Later, a 15-year-old Chinese boy was searched out as the person who caved this message. Many netizens expressed their anger and disappointment for the uncivilized behavior. They searched and identified the boy and then posted his personal information including the address and pictures online.

Over the weekend, his school’s website was hacked, and reporters flooded into his home in the city of Nanjing. Besieged by reporters, the child’s mother offered a formal apology for her son’s behavior. “We want to apologize to the Egyptian people and to people who have paid attention to this case across China.” the boy’s mother told the local newspaper.

With China’s economy booming over the past decades, a growing number of the country’s residents have become global tourists. Earlier this month, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang addressed: “Uncivilized behavior of some of tourists is giving this country a bad reputation abroad.” The discussion about Chinese quality was carried out on many media.

On the bright side, Egypt government described the damage to the temple as superficial（表面的）and could be restored and they would forgive the boy. While the act of Ding Jinhao symbolizes a national shame, meanwhile, many people concern about the child’s development and wish he could return to anonymity once more. “The boy has known his mistake and cried all night. He has to be moved around because reporters rushes to his house for interviews.” said a reporter who talked with the parents.

Use phones respectfully

You probably spend more time with your smart phone than any other possession. You take it everywhere — to school, to meals, and even to the bathroom, 1. But we have to learn to use our phones respectfully or at least without offending others around us. Here are some tips for smart phone usage. Take a look.

Use “do not disturb” instead of “vibrate（振動(dòng)）”

Loud vibrations in your pants are disturbing. People can hear your phone vibrate, depending on how severely it vibrates. 2.

Tell others what you’re doing

Sometimes, you will be in a situation in which you need to use your smart phone. 3. If you don’t, people will think that you’re either interacting with someone else or just getting bored.

4.

Respect others’ privacy as text and e-mail senders by not letting what they type appear on the home screen of your phone when you receive a new message. While you’re at it, use a password to make sure the information you share with others stays between you.

Ask permission to swipe（滑動(dòng)）

When someone hands you their phone to look at a photo, this doesn’t mean you can swipe through all of their photo albums. 5.

A. Don’t use the text preview feature on your home screen.

B. It is difficult to ignore and distracts people from whatever they are doing.

C. You should use your smart phone secretly.

D. They probably want you to see the one photo they hand to you, not every photo they have taken.

E. Of course, a smart phone is a great way to keep in touch and share life events.

F. So it’s thrilling to look through all their photos.

G. Just tell people what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
