星期一AJohann Strauss (约翰•施特劳斯) was born in Vienna in 1825. His father, a well-known musician, was a strange and moody man. He did not want any of his children to be musicians. He hit young Johann because the boy thought he should study music. At last，Johann’s father left the family. He felt sad about his father’s leaving. The only good thing about his father’s leaving，it seemed, was that young Johann would be free to study music.The dance called the waltz developed from a peasant dance. The waltz became popular in Vienna, so it was natural that Johann would be attracted by it.The orchestra (管弦乐队) Johann’s father had directed was prepared to be ended when the elder Strauss suddenly died. Young Johann offered to take his father’s place. Most of the musicians questioned that a young man would fill the shoes of a famous father. They did not know that the son already had an orchestra of his own which was becoming well-known. Finally, one of the members persuaded (劝说) the others to let the two orchestras be the one. Their first performance was a memorial concert played in his father’s honor.Soon Vienna was paying praise (赞赏)to the son. He wrote such famous waltzes as Tales form the Vienna Woods and the Beautiful Blue Danube, and his music is still played today. His waltzes are as beautiful and timely as when Strauss first wrote them.()26.

He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and stars were kept in their places.A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle could move the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he grew up, he improved the steam engine (蒸汽机）so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered, “Why don’t I make a watch?” But how could he get the things to make the mainspring (主发条)？ He soon found he could make it with the whalebone (鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto (座右铭）was “I will think of it”. And he made his thought useful to himself and the world.Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t lose heart, and don’t ask someone for help before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think creatively.()26.

It sounds silly. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could work without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲倦).To the scientists9 amazement, they discovered that when the blood passing through the brain was active, it showed no fatigue at all! If we take a drop of blood from a worker, we would find it foil of fatigue toxins (毒素) and fatigue products. But if we take blood from the brain of a mental worker, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far, as the brain is cared about, it can work as well and quickly at the end of eight or even twelve hours, work as at the beginning. The brain isn’t tired. So what makes us tired?Some scientists say that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes (态度). One of England’s most famous scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of someone’s fatigue comes from the mental work. In fact, fatigue from the physical work is seldom seen.” Dr Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He says, “one hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health comes from emotional problems.What kinds of feelings make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! They are feelings of being bored, angry, nervous and worried — those make sitting workers tired. Hard work itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our feelings produce nervousness in the body.()34. How did the scientists feel about their discovery a few years ago?A. Surprised. B. Satisfied.C. Excited. D. Scared.()35. Which of the following would J. A. Had-field agree with?A. People seldom feel tired because of doing physical work.B. People feel tired most because they don’t do mental work.C. People feel tired only because they have bad feelings.D. People won’t feel tired if they are happy all the time.()36. What should we do to avoid feeling tired?A. Do mental work as much as possible.B. Try to avoid bad feelings.C. Do less physical work in our life.D. Try to avoid sitting too long.()37. What can we infer from the passage?A. When you feel excited about a concert, you’ll feel tired.B. When you feel satisfied with your grade, you’ll fed tired.C. When you feel worried about your exam, you’ll feel tired.D. When you feel happy about your trip, you’ll feel tired.DTales from the Animal HospitalBy David GrantDavid Grant has become well-known to millions of fans of Animal Hospital.

She is too thin and is often sick.Her mother is trying to prevent her from going cm a diet and losing weight because she thinks Sophia is thin enough, but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to start eating as usual. Sophia’s mind is full of the idea of looking like a model. Every day she goes to a club to do exercise. When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like Fashion & Beauty. Sophia says, “If I look like these models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”Mary feels sorry for having encouraged her at first, because Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body.

However, things are not always like this. “You never listen to me” is a complaint often heard from children and parents. Good communication helps children and parents to develop confidence, feelings of self-worth, and good relationships with others. Try these tips:Speak in a quiet voice. Whisper sometimes so children have to listen. They like this.Look a child in the eyes so you can tell when they understand. Bend or sit down. Become the child’s size.Practice listening and talking. Talk with your children about school and their friends.Respect children and use a polite tone of voice. If you talk to our children as we are good friends, the youngsters may be more likely to take you as confidants (知己).Use door openers that invite children to say more about an incident or their feelings. “I see,” “Oh,” “tell me more,” “Say that again，I want to be sure I understand you.”Praise builds a child’s confidence and reinforces communication. Unkind words tear children down and teach them that they just aren’t good enough.Children are never too old to be told they are loved. Saying “I love you” is important. Writing it in a note provides the child with a reminder that he can hold on to.Give your attention when your children want to talk to you. Don’t read, watch TV, fall asleep or make yourself busy with other tasks when talking with kids.All in all, as parents, we should respect our kids and listen to them, talk to them as friends. We should always be there to share their joys and sorrows with kids.()34.

What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The ways to have a good communication with children.B. Why parents should have a good communication with children.C. Children should be given the chance to express themselves.D. How to share with children in their dailyDIs space exploration (探索）really worth doing at a time when so much exploration needs doing on the Earth? It is an often-asked question that requires a serious answer. One could offer many opinions, from jobs and education to technology development and national safety, for doing a space program. We live in a developing society. The question “Should we explore?” must be seen in deep historical background (背景），not in the background of present-day politics (政治).Experts (专家）in history have recognized the difference among three great ages of exploration. The* first age in the 15th and 16th centuries were represented by Prince Henry the Navigator, Christopher Golumbus and other European explorers. The second age in the 18th and 19th centuries mainly included further exploration of geography such as the sailing of Captain Cook. The third age started with space exploration, but also partly included the explorations of the Antarctic and the oceans.The United States influenced the second and third ages of exploration and was influenced by them. But the important point is that each of those ages of exploration was the product of specific (特定的）cultures: the Europeans for the first age, the Europeans and Americans for the second age, and the Soviet Union, soon joined by the United States, then Europe and other countries, for the third age.As expert Stephen J. Pyne argued, “Exploration is a specific invention of specific civilizations (文明）at specific historical times. It is not a universal quality of all human societies. Not all cultures have explored or even traveled widely.”()38. What can we learn about space exploration in Paragraph 1?A. It belongs to present-day politics.B. It is not supported by many arguments.C. It is a waste of money in the real world.D. It is necessary because our society is gradually developing.()39. _____ didn’t relate to the third age of exploration.A. Space explorationB. The exploration of oceansC. The exploration of geographyD. The exploration of Antarctic()40. Which countries play an important role in the second age of exploration?A. The United States and China.B. European countries and China.C. The Soviet Union and the United States.D. European countries and the United States.()41. What does Stephen J. Pyne think of exploration?A. It can only be found in specific cultures.B. All cultures have developed with exploration.C. All human societies have the ability to explore.D. Men generally love to explore the unknown world.
