6.Green is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes,the word"green"means young,fresh and growing.For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience.In the 15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed.A century later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war.By the 18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today-a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指).The expression comes from the early 20th century.A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster (怪物)is not a dangerous animal from outer space.It is an expression used about 400years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello".It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.For example,a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.
In most places in the world,a green light means to move ahead.In everyday speech,a green light means agree to continue with a project.

10.Parents who help their kids with homework might feel disappointed after knowing what two researchers Angel L.Harris and Keith Robinson have found.
"We need to do away with the assumption that anything parents do will help.That assumes that parents have all the answers,but actually they don't,"Harris said.
"We found that when parents from various racial and socioeconomic groups regularly helped their child with homework,in most cases,it made no difference for the child's improvement in their test scores in reading,math,and their grades,"Robinson said.
Could the findings simply reflect the fact that kids struggling with school ask for more homework help,thus making it look as though children who get more help do worse?No,Harris said,because the researchers measured the change in achievement among all kids,including those who performed well in school.The effect of parental homework involvement was the same across the board.
"Parents tend to hold the reins when it comes to how they're going to help with homework without consulting the child,"Robinson noted."So maybe parents could ask kids,‘Is what I'm doing helping you?How would you want me to help?'In this way,kids may benefit more from parents'help."
Vicki Davis,a high school teacher,said she's seen her share of parents doing the assignments for their kids,especially writing papers,or taking charge of important and big projects.Davis expects elementary school students to get help from parents because they're still learning study skills,and she doesn't mind if older students talk"big picture"with their families about a project.But in general,parents should limit their involvement in making sure kids are completing their homework,she advised.
Kerry Lyons,a mother of five in Irvington,N.Y.,said the research findings are a"huge relief."Lyons works full time,so when she gets home,her kids-are usually done with homework.
32.It was found that parental homework involvement generallyA.
A.has a poor effect
B.has a lasting effect
C.has a negative effect
D.has a poor effect

C.watch out

34.Who does Vicki Davis want parents to help with homework?C
A.high school students.
B.students who are writing papers.
C.primary school students.
D.students who perform poorly in school.
35.How did Kerry Lyons find the research findings?A

As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.

In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.

Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.

6.Music is magic!Music speaks louder than words and it is a"language"that the whole world can understand.A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind.Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal,music has a spiritual effect on a person.Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.
I have listened to music all my life.When I was twelve years old,the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up.Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America.Their influence changed the way we dressed,looked,acted and spoke…even our culture.The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination(暗杀) of President John Kennedy,which had put America into a great depression.And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer.This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it.And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world.Music has a great way of touching people.Music can make you laugh,cry or shout.It's also a great source of inspiration.
Try this one day and notice what happens:make yourself a cup of tea,sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs.Close your eyes,and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images-matching the music that you are listening to.
28.Music has magical power because itD.
A.is a kind of language
B.can be played much louder than words
C.receives a personal radio signal
D.can influence a person's spirit
29.One can learn from the second paragraph that the BeatlesC.
A.were the biggest band in American history
B.are not accepted by modern American people
C.appeared at a special time in American politics
D.represented the roots of American culture
30.One will do all of the following while listening to music EXCEPTC.
A.feeling very refreshed         
B.having emotional changes
C.painting some vivid pictures    
D.feeling inspired by the composer

Hamlet is the most (37)performed of William Shakespeare's plays.While you read this article,somewhere there is an actor on a stage pouring out his heart to the audience.
The character of Hamlet has a personal,painful quality that still draws readers and playgoers today as it did 400years ago.The problems he faces,such as what is (38)happeningand how he should respond to events,are ones we all face in our lives.
Hamlet is the young prince of Denmark.At the beginning,he is sad about his dead father.Everyone else around him is(39)celebrating the marriage of his mother Gertrude to her brother-in-law Claudius,the new king.Hamlet thinks that the short time between the death of his father and the marriage of his mother and uncle is (40)disrespectful.
Hamlet is told that a spirit has been walking around Elsinore castle.He meets it and it says that his father was killed,and by his brother Claudius-----it was"murder most horrid (可怕的)"!Now,the ghost instructs him,it is his (41)duty to avenge (报仇).
Hamlet is in a terrible position.He does not know whether the ghost is who he says he is,or a being sent by the devil (魔鬼).Matters are (42)complicated because Claudius is suspicious of his nephew.There is a cat-and-mouse game played between the king and Hamlet.
Hamlet has a play performed for the king which stages the way the ghost told him of his father's murder.Claudius reacts with horror,proving to hamlet that he is (43)guilty.But Hamlet misses the opportunity to take his revenge.
He tells Gertrude he hates her (44)marriage to Claudius.During their meeting he kills Polonius,who is the father of his love,Ophelia.Then,Lacerates comes back to the court.He's heard that his father,Polonius,has been killed,so he wants to kill Hamlet.
Cunning (奸诈的) Claudius attempts to play Lacerates and Hamlet against each other,and in the final scene it all goes horribly wrong.
One(45)famous speech in the play begins"to be or not to be":it is about how Hamlet can't decide whether to get out of his bad situation by killing himself.Hamlet is a thinking man.One who thinks too much in the world where others,like Claudius,show no (46)hesitation.
10.I was in my early 20s when I discovered the truth about the perfect Christmas trees my sister and I found each year in the forest behind my grandparents'farmhouse.
When we were (41)A,Colleen and I rode the train 300miles from Seattle to Spokane every summer and Christmas (42)A.Then we took a taxi and a bus to Loon Lake.We would hop out at the Loon Lake post office,where Granddad and Gammie(43)Cus with smiling faces.Christmases were always (44)Bat Loon Lake,with snow piled deep for building forts and (45)Bwith our grandparents'pet dog.Little balls of snow hung from her long fur like Christmas ornaments.But the fondest (46)Dof all was when Granddad would ride the horse Jenny and  we'd walk up the hill into the (47)Bbehind their house.We'd search the pine trees looking for that (48)Aone to honor as our Christmas tree.The (49)Dalways involved excited chatter,for all three of us had to (50)Bthat we'd found the perfect tree (51)CGranddad would swing his ax.Granddad would (52)Dthe cut tree to Jenny and drag it back to the house.
Granddad passed away when my sister and I were grown.Only then did Grammie (53)Ahis secret:He'd (54)Da tree early each spring,then shape it trough the summer
and fall so it would be (55)Cfor our big day in December.As Colleen and I raced through the trees searching for the (56)Ctree,he would cleverly guide us toward its location,(57)Bactually pointing it out.
As Gammie told us this story,we (58)Athat was why she always had that extra happiness in her eyes when we came rushing in the door,bursting with (59)Cabout how this year we'd found the best Christmas tree ever.
Of all the Christmas presents we ever received,none has been more special than the memory of Granddad's (60)Dgift.It remains as bright and beautiful as the snow on a clear December day.
