Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn’t matter where you live—in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village—the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aero planes, transistor radios, oil-powered engines, etc. are almost everywhere.We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.
Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.
【小题1】The best title for this passage is __________.
| A．Noisy Life | B．Background Noise | C．Disturbed Concentration | D．Changeable Noise |
| A．doesn’t matter much | B．has become worse everywhere |
| C．has become better in big cities | D．has become better in villages |
| A．music played in the concert | B．a kind of noise coming into your ears |

B. in complete silenceA few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a 16 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it 17 from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles, 18 everywhere. I tried to use a broom, 19 with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen．
For the next week, every time I was in the 20 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept 21 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and 22 12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
At the time I found those few remaining 23 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful 24 I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded 25 those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my 26 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered（破碎. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble 27 his new surroundings and the 28 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered．
When life gets you 29 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never 30 , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be 31 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas 32 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them 33 you’ll start to feel whole again．
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to 34 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 35 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were 41 to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life. My parents always say, “ 42 hard and the world is yours.” They are never without a 43 word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.
My parents always 44 me to go to college. However, when I 45 at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they 46 stopped telling me they loved me and I could anything I wanted to. 47 , they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently 48 the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the 49 a better place to live in.
Every time I call home to tell them about a 50 I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or whichever 51 it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how 52 of me they are. I know there are college kids out there that have no one to call home when they an “A” on a project and I feel incredibly 53 to have my parents.
Don’t get me wrong: We’ve had our share of 54 . I was the angry teenager and they were the awful 55 that wouldn’t let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced（扎洞）.But somehow, we 56 to work through those issues. They never 57 loving in me or believing in me.
I 58 everything I am to my parents. Without their 59 love and encouragement, I wouldn’t believe I can change the world. My parents taught me to always 60 for what I believe in. So I’m working toward something really great and can only hope I continue to make them proud.
