10．"If you're talking to me in a（46）noisy （noise） restaurant and my nerve system is good at locking onto the sound of your voice，I can understand what you say better．"
The research at Northwestern University shows that （47）playing（play） a musical instrument is good for your brain．And the brain remembers how to"lock onto"the important sounds，（48）although/though our ears may not work as well as we age，（49）which helps us to hear better．
A scientist，living in France twenty years ago，wrote about（50）whathe called the"Mozart Effect"．He said that （51）it could be helpful to the brain when listening to the classical music of Mozart．Some researchers said that Mozart's music would make you much （52）smarter （smart），or even have some health disorders（53）cured （cure）．Others said that there was nothing special about Mozart's music．Any kind of high energy music would work．So if the cost of a musical instrument or music lessons is too costly，can we get （54）.thesame brain experience just by listening？
Usually people have teachers，or they can teach themselves music．However，the point is that they're actively playing a musical instrument and engaging in making music instead（55） of listening to music passively．

（25）B When you are bringing this best friend in your house，you must make sure everything is right for it．You should make life easier for it，as well as others who are living in your house．

8．Some 30，000years ago，artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them：panthers，hyenas，rhinos，cave lions，mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time．The paintings were highly realistic．Some even showed movement．
The artwork，more than a thousand drawings，is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered．They were preserved because the cave was sealed---closed off--for more or less 23，000years．
Fast forward to December 18，1994，a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France．Jean Marie Chauvet，who led the group then，describes the process of discovering the cave paintings．"At that time I was in the front，Eliette just walked behind me，Christian behind．Eliette said she saw two marks with red ochre and she said，‘They came here．'And at this very moment everything began．The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art（壁画）．That is where it is tarted．"
Cave art expert Jean Clotttes reviewed the paintings．"I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses．"
Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork．Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago，before human history was written．The United Nations'cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site．They say that the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety．
The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it．However，its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings．So the cave is closed，and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork．
However，French authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave，called Pont d'Arc Cavern．The copy，which we also called replica，cost more than 59million dollars to build．It opened at the end of April in France．
Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern．He says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe．He says the place is magic because it is doen so well．Authorities say they think as many as 400，000people will be allowed to visit Pont d'Arc Cavern every year．

7．In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd；
Petals on a wet，black bough．
This is the only Ezra Pound poem that many people will read in their lives．Why？One obvious reason is that it's just two lines long．The poem，which can be understood as"A man sees a bunch of faces in the subway and thinks they look like flowers on a tree branch，"is an exercise in shortness．Pound wrote it after having a spiritual experience in a Paris metro （subway） station．
In 1916，the US poet originally thought he could best describe his vision in a painting．Unfortunately，he wasn't a painter．So he wrote a thirty-line poem，which he didn't like．He dropped the long version in the waste bin．Six months later，he wrote a shorter poem，but didn't like that one either．Finally，a full year after the experience，he had been reading short Japanese poems called haikus，and he figured he would try this style．The result，which was published in 1913，is one of the most famous and influential works in modern poetry．
This poem is one of the monuments （纪念物） of the 20th-century artistic movement known as"Imagism"．Basically，Pound and his friends thought that images （意象） weren't just decoration：they were the highest form of speech．By finding the right image，the poet can express the true，spiritual reality of a thing，which is more important than using a bunch of adjectives to describe its physical appearance．Thus，"In a Station of the Metro"is a poem that consists of one image expressed with absolute （绝对的） exactness and nothing else．
To the imagists，the best way to describe an experience is not to use more and more words； the best way is to find exactly the right words．Have you ever told a beloved one that"words can't express"how much you love them？Well，Pound would say that you're just being lazy．In his view，words can express anything，even if it takes an entire year to find the right ones．

6．The ocean is always moving：waves break on the surface，sea levels rise and fall with the tides，and currents flow below the surface．Although it looks as if the water in a wave is moving across the surface of the ocean，it is not．The water is actually moving up and down．This is why an object on top of a wave will bob up and down，but not move forward．
When a wave reaches the shore，however，the water does move forward．It surges（前进）onto the shore．This is because the"bottom"of the wave drags on the sand and the"top"continues on，crashing onto the shore．This crashing water is called the surf．Most waves are caused by wind blowing across the ocean's surface．The size of a wave depends on how fast and how far the wind blows over the surface and on the depth of the wave．Small winds can cause ripples，while strong winds create large hurricane waves．
Along most shorelines．water levels rise and fall twice a day．These changes，called tides．are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon．The ocean surface lifts，or bulges（凸出），in two places：on the side of Earth that faces the Moon and on the side of Earth that faces away from the Moon．Both bulges cause a high tide on nearby shorelines．At the same time that the high tides occur，low tides occur between the two bulges．
Tides are also affected by the pull of the Sun，although the effect of the Sun is not as great as the effect of the Moon．When the Moon and Sun are lined up with Earth，the combined pull is the strongest，causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tides．These very high and very low tides are called spring tides．Weaker tides，called neap tides，happen when the Moon and the Sun are at right angles to Earth．High tides alternate with low tides．Along most shorelines，a high tide or low tide occurs about every six hours．
11．The word"alternate"in the last paragraph meansD．
A．appear suddenly
B．bob up and down
C．change or become quickly
D．happen or follow one after another
12．The best title for the passage isA．
A．The Moving Ocean
C．Tides and Waves
B．Ocean and Earth
D．Waves and Currents．

Someone told me that Li Ming had stolen a pen out my deskmate．I felt I should let my deskmate knew，and before I told my deskmate about it，he asked Li Ming about it．He didn't admit steal the pen and it caused a terribly argument between them．Later it turned out that the story wasn't true，and my deskmate refuses to talk to me．It took quite few days for my deskmate to accept my apology．I've learned my lessons from it．I shouldn't have mistakenly believed what that others said and passed it on．Although my deskmate has forgiven him，I still feel ashamed．
