【题目】I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival.She lives on the other side of the world, and I went to visit her,not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will.However,I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.

So I boarded the plane in mid-August,and hated the long flight.I arrived,tired and hungry.I had left my husband of 2 years,alone,in our old New Orleans house.

I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago.The hurricane was predicted to hit our city,and many people had already evacuated,but my husband chose to stay behind.He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world,but he could call his cousin in Chicago.He gave his cousin a message for me,that he would be just fine,and not to worry.

As the day wore on,I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans,and I realized,thanks to CNN,that New Orleans was under water.

I performed,hoping that my husband would survive.And I performed perfectly.The audience stood and applauded.I left the stage and went straight to the TV.I saw the street sign near my home,of Humanity Street,but nothing below it,except water.

In the days that followed,I found out that my house,my car,my clothes,my furniture,everything that I'd left behind was gone...but not my husband.He survived by riding on the rear bumper(后保险杆)of a VW bus,holding on to the overhead luggage rack,in the pouring rain,down the highway from New Orleans,half-way to Baton Rouge.The rest of the journey was a long walk,but he survived.

By the first week of September,I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport,and hugged my husband.Since then,our relationship has grown deeper;we have completely rebuilt our house,bought a new car,bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational,spirit-filled community.

【题目】Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino(厄尔尼诺). The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.

One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.

The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.

【题目】阅读理解。

Whether you admit it or not, music improves our daily life and makes us feel easy, especially the music of Beethoven and Mozart. But can you believe that a school in England is using classical music to cut down students’ bad behavior?

The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby asks some students to stay behind after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical music. He also makes them copy his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos.

Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils causing trouble in class for students who want to study. He said the students staying behind were “not the smokers or drinkers, the truants (逃学生) or the people who are late for school…It’s those who have slowed the learning and teaching in class for everyone”. Mr. Walker said this was unacceptable, because it was making the rest of the students fail to focus their attention on their study.

Mr. Walker believes what he does reminds students that education is something to value. “It helps them see they are part of something bigger that will improve their life chances,” he said. The head teacher thinks students in fact learn from being kept behind after school. “Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don’t normally have and don’t want to have again, so it’s both educational and acts as a warning.”

Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behavior. In 2004, it reduced crime on London’s subway by 25 percent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop elephants’ bad behavior.

However, one West Park student called Kieran said, “An hour of Mr. Walker’s music is a real killer.”

【1】Mr. Walker asks his students to listen to music to _______________.

A. make them rest after a day’s study

【2】A student who _____ may be left behind to listen to Mozart after class.

A. plays truant B. smokes in class

C. bothers others in class D. comes late for class

【3】Why does Mr. Walker say some students’ bad behavior is unacceptable?

A. Because the rest of the students hate them.

B. Because they are wasting their life.

C. Because they are disturbing teachers.

D. Because they have a bad influence on the other students.

【4】In the eyes of Mr. Walker, _____.

A. some students don’t realize education is valuable

B. all students can learn from music

C. music must be taught after class

D. students ought to love music

【5】It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _____.

C. once music helped animals behave well

D. animals also like to listen to music

【题目】"Only a few years and you'll be an adult!"It's true that in two years I'll be 18,and that will make me legally an adult.But it's also just a number.It doesn't come with a magical moment where you know all the stuff adults are supposed to know how to do.It doesn't make responsibilities easier.It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes and work at Walmart(沃尔玛).You can start being a "grown up" long before then or long after.

This thought all started hack in July when my friend,Dakota,officially flew out for military basic training in Oklahoma.He's 17.He can't rent a movie from most places,but he can defend our country.I didn't realize how much his actual departure would affect me arid the way I viewed growing up and when it actually starts.

Then,in September,my best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London.She's 18.She's worked ridiculously hard,and slaved over textbooks to get the perfect grades.Now,she's booking her own plane tickets,going grocery shopping,being in complete control of' her personal life.I have a basic idea of how a loan works,but applying for one?Forget it.I don't even have a credit card.My other friends are growing up around me,making decisions,that will affect the rest of their life.Where do I fit in?My life is so different from the standard,it's hard to compare.I'm home-schooled.I have been fashion blogging since I was 13,an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world.Earlier this year,I landed my first Teen Vogue feature and worked with the Disney Channel.But if you add that up,it doesn't equal adult,it equals an accomplished teenager.

I made myself a list of "Things to Learn Before I Grown Up".Number one?Figure out the whole loan thing.But it's also important to me to enjoy being young.I like having my mom cook for me,and getting to just be goofy(傻瓜的)sometimes without worry.So in conclusion,my point is this: being a grownup is less about your age,and more about what you do with your life.
