    History, as we know, is filled with facts, with places, names, dates, and events.
    History is also filled with feelings, with pain, joy, excitement, and fear.
    Facts are set down in books, but what happens to feelings? How can you take the pain, for example, and write it into a history book? You can’t. But you can put it to music. Take the blues for example.
    The blues started when black musicians in the South began to sing about their hard times, those times which made them feel blue. The early blues was the beginning of other musical styles, from jazz to rock and roll.
    Music, you might say, is a record of feelings.
    Of course, facts are important: the civil rights movement, the race for space, the Vietnam War. But the feelings behind these events – the pride of being black, the excitement of a rocket blast (点火起飞), the pain of a war – are also an important part of history.
    小题1:In the passage, the word “blue” and the word “blues” are related to __________.
    A．a feeling and a kind of musicB．a color
    C．a kind of music and a personD．people and their feelings
    小题2:According to the writer’s idea, what can make people feel blue?
    A．A history bookB．Music.
    C．History.D．Hard times.
    小题3:Besides the above, the writer also explains ___________.
    A．what caused the Vietnam War
    B．the feelings behind some important events
    C．the relation between history and music
    D．why he wrote the article

    .Chris is not a traditional explorer(探险家)—he usually works in an office for a large organization. However, Chris’ job can be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.
    Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Border(国界). Since 1971, MFS has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters, such as wars and illnesses. Chris is a doctor from France who has traveled to many places to organize programs that help people.
    At the moment, over 27,000 trained doctors have taken part in MSF projects. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF chooses a doctor for a task, they have to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency(紧急的) task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.
    But why would doctors leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience they have is a great help in their life. What’s more, just like the explorers of the past, they need to keep an open mind and learn to get on well with the people they meet. One thing that they can say at the end of any task is that they have made a real difference to people’s lives.
    小题1:What may MSF’s work be like?
    A．Tiring and boringB．Exciting and dangerous
    C．Relaxing and colorful D．Peaceful and comfortable

    D．have suffered from wars, illnesses or other disasters
    小题3:             Why would doctors like to join MSF?
    A．Because they can get a good pay.
    B．Because they can have a comfortable life.
    C．Because they can help others and get experience.
    D．Because they can travel abroad with their families.
    小题4: What is the main idea of this passage?

    You either have it, or you don’t — a sense (感觉) of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
    Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
    “Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
    Jim Martland also emphasizes (强调) that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
    ◆ If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
    ◆ If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
    ◆ Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
    Now you need never get lost again!
    小题1: Scientists believe that                           .
    A．people never lose their sense of direction
    B．some babies are born with a sense of direction

    C．They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.
    D．They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.
    小题3:If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should                             .
    A．tie it to a tree so as to stop it from being stolen
    B．remember something easily known on the route
    C．draw a map of the route to help remember where it is
    D．stay away from taking the same route when you come back to it
