    Expo 2010 is held in Shanghai from May 1 to October 31. People all over the world are looking forward
to it. Here are several golden rules on how to best plan your trip.
Rule 1: Do your homework
    Read everything you call before going. Really study the maps. Know the pavilions. Arrive at the entrance
nearest Io the things you want to see. Have a plan. It will make a big difference.
Rule 2: Allow plenty of time
    Expo 2010 is the largest attraction event in the history of the world. It will take many days to see it. Plan
to spend from five to eight days or more seeing it.
Rule 3: Pace yourself
    Expo is enormous. The distances are punishing. It is better to spend a day seeing a single area than to man
hack and forth all over the site. Remember to wear the most comfortable shoes. Never mind what they look
like.
Rule 4: Get going in May
    At many Expos the crowds are smaller in May and in early June than any other time. And beware the last
two weeks. During every Expo, people delay their visits and then in early October they suddenly realize. "Expo
will close soon! I haven't seen it!" As a result, the last several weeks usually have the most crowded days of
the entire Expo.
Rule 5: Find out what everyone else is doing-and do the opposite
    If you don't like large crowds and long lines. Do the opposite. Here is all example:Most people go on
Saturdays or on holidays, So avoid Saturdays and holidays. Go on weekdays when most people are at work.
Rule 6:Turn up
    Expo 2010 is the largest celebration in China's history-an amazing once-in-a-lifetime event. When it is gone
and it will never be seen again. So whatever you do, don't miss it!

       TORONTO - A new report from the Vanier Institute for the family says that there are more problem children today than 50 years ago.
       York University professor Anne Ambert, the writer of the report, says that bad influences on children come from parents, schools, neighbors, the media (媒体), etc.
       Children today have bad behavior. They argue more with others. They stop others when others are
talking. They are less polite to others. They choose to fight rather than discuss when they disagree with
each other. When they have disagreements with their parents, they want to run away from home. They
tell more lies (谎话). When they need money, they would rather steal (偷) than work hard.
       There is not enough family education about how kids behave well. Parents should care more about
their kids. There are more and more single-parent families and more violence (暴力) on TV and in other
kinds of media.
       The report is a study about why there are more children with bad behavior. Everyone should pay
more attention to this problem.

     Music is different from songs. Songs express feelings with lyrics, but music with tones (音调). Unlike songs,
music tones in themselves have no specific meanings.   Different people may get different things from the same
musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily life
because it brings fun to them.   Different people like different music: some love classical music, and others take
pleasure in pop music. Most young people like pop music.
     Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 60s. The best-known
early kind of pop music was "rock and roll".   Pop music has taken the place of native music in many  parts of  the
world. It has caused the number of people for "jazz" music to  become much smaller   than in the 1950s and earlier
and it has now begun to become the most popular. Much pop music is without artistic value (价值), but the works
of some pop singers such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby are excellent. And there
is still great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.
1. The biggest difference between music and songs is ______.     
A. feelings  
B. lyrics and tones  
C. languages and countries  
D. meanings
2. According to the passage, the number of people for jazz in the 1950s and earlier was ______ it is today.

A. People can get different things from the same piece of music.
B. Pop music began to be popular in the mid-twentieth century.
C. The best known early form of pop music was "rock and roll".
