Once there was a piano player in a bar (酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.
“I don’t sing,” said the man.
But the lady told the waiter, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”
The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”
So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.
You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.
【小题1】The lady asked the player to sing a song because ________.
| A．she had paid him for this |
| B．she knew him very well |
| C．she was tired of listening to the piano. |
| D．she enjoyed his singing |
| A．the lady helped him a lot |
| B．he caught the chance(机会) |
| C．he continued to play in the bar |
| D．he played the piano well |
| A．fail to realize | B．forget to use |
| C．try to develop | D．manage to show |
| A．hide it and wait |
| B．ask others for help |
| C．pay no attention to it |
| D．work hard to improve yourself |
| A．Sing in the Bar |
| B．Achieve Success in Life |
| C．Never Lose Heart |
| D．Find Your Hidden（隐藏的） Talent |
Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes (糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke (中风).
New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt. I use in cooking. The suggested daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you try not to eat too many processed (加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t reach more than the daily level.
The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.
A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt bottle, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.
I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.
【小题1】The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.
| A．white people | B．black people |
| C．untreated diseases | D．high blood pressure and diabetes |
| A．Black people take in too much salt. |
| B．Black people’s meals are very special. |
| C．Processed foods have too much salt in them. |
| D．6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult. |
| A．Order no salad in a restaurant. | B．Take in no salt for several days. |
| C．Stop cooking their favorite meals. | D．Eat less takeaways. |
| A．thank those who came to his home for his research |
| B．let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier |
| C．show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home |
| D．prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is |
| A．Watch the salt | B．Take care, black people |
| C．Say no to takeaways | D．Say no to high blood pressure |
How could we live without the Internet? That's how most of us keep in touch with friends, find homework support, research cool place to visit, or find out the latest news. You can use it to do research for school, find out what movie is on near you, check out a college you're thinking about, or find a job or volunteer opportunity. Almost anything you can think of has a website about it.
You've probably heard stories about people who get into trouble in chat rooms. Because users can easily keep anonymous, you may be cheated in the chat room. Everyone in the chat room looks like wearing a mask(面具). Chat rooms often attract people who are interested in more than just chatting. They will sometimes ask visitors for information about themselves. The information might be about their families, or where they live. It shouldn't be given away.
Usually, the people who request personal information like home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses use the information to do some illegal(违法的) things. This might harm a person's or family's well-being.
Of course, the Internet is home to millions of places you can and should visit. However, remember to protect yourself while online.

It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on* to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.
Since last year, the trend* of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update* their blogs over five times per day.
"We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."
It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study all the time, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."
But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.
---Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.
---Never micro blog in class.
---Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
---Be critical*. Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.
【小题1】The underlined part "out of the loop" in the passage probably means .
| A．not popular | B．not excited | C．unhealthy | D．unlucky |
| A．feel sad | B．let out stress | C．add pressure | D．make friends |
| A．make kids crazy while logging on to it |
| B．bring a lot of misleading messages |
| C．become a window to understand young kids |
| D．lead to worse communication |
| A．It's good for kids to micro blog for more than one hour a day. |
| B．Kids should trust all the messages on a micro blog because they are useful. |
| C．The trend of micro blogging has swept the country since five years ago. |
| D．Kids should try to talk face to face with people, not just micro blogging. |
“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.
1. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
3. Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
4. Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.
