One day a child was play with a vase of great value. He careless put his hand into it. Hard as he tried, he
could not pull it out. His father tried his best, too, but their efforts were in a vain. They were thinking of breaking the vase whenever the father said, “Now, my son, why have one more try? Open your hand or hold your fingers out straight as you saw I doing, and then pull.” To his surprise, the child says, “I can’t hold my fingers straight like that, because I don’t want to drop my penny.” Thousand of us sometimes are so busy hold on to the world’s worthless penny that we cannot achieve liberation.

IV. Reading(30)
A
Mathematical ability and musical ability may not seem on the surface to be connected, but people who have researched the subject -- and studied the brain—say that they are. Three quarters of the bright but speech-delayed children in the group I studied had a close relative who was an engineer, mathematician or scientist, and four fifths had a close relative who played a musical instrument. The children themselves usually took readily to math and other analytical subjects and to music.
Black, white and Asian children in this group show the same patterns. However, it is clear that blacks have been greatly overrepresented in the development of American popular music and greatly underrepresented in such fields as mathematics, science and engineering.
If the abilities required in analytical fields and in music are so closely related, how can there be this great discrepancy? One reason is that the development of mathematical and other such abilities requires years of formal schooling, while certain musical talents can be developed with little or no formal training, as has happened with a number of well-known black musicians.
It is precisely in those kinds of music where one can acquire great skill without formal training that blacks have excelled popular music rather than classical music, piano rather than violin, blues rather than opera. This is readily understandable, given that most blacks, for most of American history, have not had either the money or the leisure for long years of formal study in music.
Blacks have not merely held their own in American popular music. They have played a large role in the development of jazz, both traditional and modern. A long string of names comes to mind—W.C. Handy, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker…and so on.
None of this presupposes(假设，意味着) any special innate（先天的）ability of blacks in music. On the contrary, it is perfectly consistent with blacks having no more such inborn ability than anyone else, but being limited to being able to express such ability in narrower channels than others who have had the money, the time and the formal education to spread out over a wider range of music, as well as into mathematics, science and engineering.
36. what is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.    Mathematical ability and musical ability are connected.
B.    Mathematical ability has more to do with the brain than musical ability.
C.    More people are good at music than math.
D.    More research should be done into the relationship between mathematical ability and math ability.
37. The word “discrepancy” (Para. 3) most probably means ____.
A. difference  B. excellence  C. inborn ability     D. inability
(38. What can be inferred about opera?
A.    It requires formal training.
B.    It is often enjoyed by those with strong analytical ability.
C.    It is disliked by blacks.
D.    It is more difficult to learn than classical music.
39. Which of the following statements is true according to the last paragraph?
A.    Blacks have special innate ability in music.
B.    Unlike others, blacks do not have innate ability in music.
C.    Jazz is one of the narrow channels through which blacks express their ability in music.
D.    Those who have money and time choose mathematics over music.
40. which of the following questions does the passage mainly concern?
A.    Are musical ability and mathematical ability connected?
B.    Why have blacks been greatly over represented in the development of American popular misic?
C.    What kinds of music require formal training?
D.    What are the contributions made by black musicians?
