  When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly, most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

  First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.

      Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.

  It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver.

53. What is mainly discussed in the passage?

  A. Moral deeds of people.

B. Religious activities of the church.

  C. Moral goodness of the giver.

D. Arguments on giving to beggars.

54. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?

  A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

  B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.

  C. We don’t meet with those who need help any more.

  D. Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.

55. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

  A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

  B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.

  C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

  D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

56. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because    .

  A. the cases can be so different

  B. there are so many beggars

  C. there is so much money wasted

  D. there are so many different arguments

  His teacher thought he was dumb(愚笨的).Talent spotters(星探)thought he was ugly.But Jay Chou,24, is now one of Asia’s hottest pop stars.

  Last week he had the honour of being the first Asian male singer to make the cover of Time, a popular magazine based in the US.He has won more than 30 entertainment awards over the past two years.

  Chou released(发行)his first album Jay in November 2000, and with two follow up albums-Fantasy and Eight Dimensions-his music has come to rule the Asian pop world.

  The entertainment industry has nicknamed him “a small heavenly king”.But Chou says, he is not a king, at least he wasn’t before he shot to stardom.As a boy, he was called “stupid”.His high school English teacher said young Chou had a learning disability.“He had very few facial expressions(面部表情).I thought he was dumb.”

  Chou did poorly at maths, science and English.But his mother noticed the quiet, shy boy was sensitive to music; when he heard western pop music, he seemed to vibrate(摇摆).So she took Chou to a piano school at four years old.He practiced all the time, focusing on the keys the way other children focus on ice-cream.At the end of the high school, he failed his exams and didn’t go to university.

  In a show he was seen playing the piano by a major Taiwanese entertainer, Jacky Wu.The 18 year old Chou became a contract(签约)song writer for Wu’s music studio.There he spent one and a half years writing songs for famed artists such as a Valen Hsu and Coco Lee.

  He proved that he could be more than a songwriter.His catchy tunes have mainstreamed(成为主流)rap and R&B in the Mando pop world(华语音乐).And his success proves that the music still matters more than looks and image.

  Last week, about 600 teenagers in the US imagined a future changed by technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities and alien languages.They believe they will use jet packs(喷气背包),and hoverboards(旋转飞盘),as everyday transport.

  All the participants of the survey are teenagers born into the Internet age.The study is to show how the first cyber(计算机的)generation dream about a future life created by advanced technology.

  Most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning.The 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 per cent imagine them to be robots.Some 24 per cent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have interchangeable microchips(微型芯片)so that one person can teach all subjects.

  More than one in two believe hoverboarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favourite activity.Another third think jet packs will be popular.Nearly 30 per cent think football and bike-riding will remain popular.

  When it comes to the curriculum, they think future generations will be learning about robot building(63 per cent),alien languages(47 per cent), celebrities(26 per cent)and R&B music(22 per cent).

  Children will wear virtual reality helmets(可视头盔)to bring lessons to life, say 40 per cent, while over 20 per cent believe they will not need lessons because microchips implanted(植入)in their head will send relevant(相关的)information into the brain.

  There is no doubt that music plays a powerful role in our lives.It can calm our tired nerves after a busy day of work.Music even has the power to move us to tears when it stirs(激起)an emotional reaction.How then, does music play a role in special education?

  If music has the ability to touch those hidden places we all carry inside, it proves an important tool for the special education teacher.For students with emotional problems, music can help soothe(抚慰)sadness.Consider the child that arrives in class depressed and upset.If music can indeed relax and calm him, he is more likely to focus and participate in class.

  Dr.R.Joseph, author of Behavioral Neurology, writes, “It is well recorded that patients with left hemisphere(大脑半球)damage, who may be unable to speak or recognize words, can sing a melody(曲调).”

  For this reason, some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music.When students cannot understand or remember certain things, singing them helps make it easier.

  Nature magazine reported “Music training helps underachievers.In Rhode Island, researchers studied eight public school first grade classes.Half of the classes became ‘text-arts’groups, receiving ongoing music training.After seven months, the students were given a test.The tested group had caught up with their fellow students in reading and surpassed(超过)their classmates in math by 22 percent.In the second year of the project, the tested students widened this even further.Students were also tested on attitude and behavior.Classroom teachers also noted improvement in these areas.”

  It seems music does, indeed, play an important role in education.For the special education teacher, this is especially encouraging.

(1)

The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

[  ]

A.

the role of music in education

B.

the importance of music in life

C.

the relationship between music and work results

D.

the relationship between music and behavior

(2)

For students with emotional problems, music might be ________.

[  ]

A.

a toy

B.

a punishment

C.

a medicine

D.

a puzzle

(3)

According to Dr.R.Joseph, people with left hemisphere damage ________.

[  ]

A.

are unable to recognize people

B.

can produce some musical sounds

C.

can become special education teachers

D.

might suffer right hemisphere damage too

(4)

The tested students mentioned in the fifth paragraph ________.

[  ]

A.

behaved badly after the study

B.

Didn't show any difference after the study

C.

had done well in their reading and math before

D.

Englishmen speak British English and Americans speak American English. A student is learning to speak British English. He often asks himself, “Can Americans understand me when I speak British English?” Learners often ask “What’s the difference between British English and American English?”Certainly there are some differences between British and American English. The Englishmen say “Have you a pen?” While Americans say “Do you have a pen?” The pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans often sound “r” in words like “bird” and “hurt”. The British speakers don’t sound the “r” in these words. There are differences in spelling. For example, “colour” and “neighbour” are British while “color” and “neighbor” are American. These differences in grammar, pronunciation and spelling are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language. When Englishmen and Americans are talking with each other, they don’t need an interpreter(翻译). Maybe some day they need, but not now.
