There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.

On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.

Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water.

The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.

That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.

And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

1.How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?

A. Proud. B. Nervous.

C. Curious. D. Shocked.

2.From the text we know that ______.

A. the father didn’t love his son

B. the father always disagreed with his son

C. the father disliked the huge fish

D. the father was firm and stubborn

3.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because ______.

A. they might catch a big fish there

B. he remembered the moral lesson from his father

C. he wanted to remember his father

D. their children enjoyed fishing there

4.What does the author want to show in the story?

A. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.

B. An ethical decision is not difficult to make.

C. It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.

D. Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.

Some people like to listen to the Beatles．while others prefer Gregorian chants．When it comes to music , scientists find that nurture can overpower nature．

A study shows musical preferences seem to be mainly shaped by a person’s cultural upbringing and experiences rather than biological factors．“Our results show that there is a profound cultural difference in the way people respond to consonant(和谐的)and dissonant(不和谐的)sounds，and this suggests that other cultures hear the world differently,” says Josh McDermott．a scientist in Cambridge．

Some scientists believe that the way people respond to music has a biological basis and that this would overpower any cultural shaping of musical preferences , effectively making them a universal phenomenon．Some musicians．by contrast , think that such preferences are more a product of one’s culture．If a person’s upbringing shapes their preferences，then they are not a universal phenomenon．

The trick to working out where musical preferences come from was to find and test people who hadn’t had much contact with Western music．McDermott and his team travelled by aeroplane，car and canoe to reach the remote villages of the Tsimane’ people，who are largely isolated from Western culture．

In their experiments，McDermott and his colleagues investigated responses to Western music by playing combinations of notes to three groups of people：the Tsimane’ and two other groups of Bolivians that had experienced increasing levels of exposure to Western music．The researchers recorded whether each group regarded the notes as pleasant or unpleasant．

The Tsimane’ are just as good at making acoustic(声响的)distinctions as the groups with more experience of other types of music，the scientists find．Most people prefer consonant tones，but the Tsimane’ have no preference between them．“This pretty convincingly rules out that the preferences are things we’re born with，’’ McDermott argues．

“Culture plays a role．We like the music we grew up with，”agrees Dale Purves，a scientist at Duke University．“Nature versus nurture is always a fool’s errand．’’It’s almost always a combination，he adds．

1.Why does the author mention Beatles in the first paragraph?

A．To arouse reader’s interest．

B．To stress the importance of music．

C．To introduce the topic to be discussed．

D．To encourage readers to listen to their music．

2.McDermott would most probably agree that __________．

A．people’s music preference is a universal phenomenon

B．Chinese and Japanese have different music preferences

C．the way people respond to music is biologically decided

D．parents have nothing to do with children’s music preference

3.What do we know about the Tsimane’ in the experiment?

A．They prefer consonant tones．

B．They are born with excellent music talent．

C．They do well in telling acoustic distinctions．

D．They have never had contact with Western music．

4.What does the underlined phrase “a fool’s errand” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Something meaningless． B．Something significant．

C．Something reliable． D．Something sensitive．

Four ways to Improve Your Memory

Have you ever imagined the benefits that a good memory can bring to you? Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in your life.1.. Here are four ways to improve your memory:

Make the most of your imagination. 2.For example, to remember where you have left your car keys, pretend to hold a camera to your eyes, focus on the scene, and click the image into your memory when you are leaving. This technique works with almost everything you want to remember, as the roll of films in your mind is endless.

Try to practice. There are lots of ways to do this: try to remember which day of the week your last birthday was. 3. Try to remember all the ping-pong finalists and the winner. If you can try to remember the scores as well, it would be even better to practice. It won’t be long before your daily practice pays off, making your mind sharper and more adaptable.

Get physical exercise. Physical exercise not only improves memory but also helps you think faster. A combination of mental and physical activity can protect your memory. It is known that the brain’s processing speed gradually slows as you age. 4._

5._Mental exercises are as important as physical ones to keep one’s brain power. Take up word games like crossword puzzles. Memorize favorite poems and read challenging books or articles that encourage you to expand your interests. Any activity that requires you to think and concentrate will challenge your brain. And your brain will develop better on the challenge.

A. Exercise your brain.

B. Play more games.

C. Fortunately, staying physically fit can avoid some of the effects of age on the brain.

D. In fact, the ability to remember things is necessary to your success.

E. Then extend this to the birthdays of all your family members.

F. An easy way to remember something is to “take a picture”.

G. If you are right-handed , try to brush your teeth with your left hand.
