As a music teacher，I have always known that music touches the soul. It can 36 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way.It can be the  37 for each child to find their light.I would like to 38 a story about it.
For a few years I was  39 with the opportunity to teach disabled students.One of my most 40  students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa，who had difficulty walking，and could not speak.We  41 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to  42  on my lap．One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit.It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students  43  twice while singing the repeating phrase，“Oh，yes！” Vanessa liked to  44 her hands together with mine and clap with me.We probably performed that song during every class，Vanessa and I clapping together.But she  45  said or sang a word.
One day，when the song was finished，Vanessa turned around， 46 me in the eyes，clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words“Oh，yes！” I opened my mouth in  47  and for that moment I was the one who could not speak.When my heart  48  started beating again，I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also  49 .Through music，we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later，I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big 50  on her face and then clapped her hands twice，imitating the song we had 51  so many times in our music class.The little girl， 52  her connection with music，left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 53  to learn and grow. It is up to us to  54  the way to reach each and every one of our students.We all must find each child's  55 .

 LONDON―A morning’s train ride away, across the Channel, English kids talk about Liverpool’s soccer team in a Paris pub.

Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.

In the 19^th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival(竞争的) cities, London and Paris, in “A Tale of Two Cities.” These days, it might be A Tale of One City.

Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor’s broken French and respond in polite English.

As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.

Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.

“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.

Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I’ll stay in London,” she said.

There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.

In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the cold descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.

“Both cities have changed beyond recognition.” Said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.

Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.

“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,” Collins said.

“But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”

But certainly not cheaper.

In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.

Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.

Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don’t have to choose.

“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured,” she said. “In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”

68．The best title for this passage is ____.

    A. Londoners and Parisians      

    B. A Modern Tale of Two Cities

    C. The Similarity of Two Cities   

    D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris

69．We can infer from the text ____.

    A. Paris and London has become perfect partners.

    B. London feels more full of life.

    C. life in Paris is structured.

    D. Paris and London have become fierce competitors.

70．The underlined word “flocked” probably means ____.

    A. came in large numbers         

    B. flew a long way

    C. rushed hurriedly              

    D. drove long distances

71．From the passage we can know ____.

    A. the two cities have developed very fast

    B. London is better than Paris now

    C. Paris is a favorite place for all journalism students

    D. people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life

How did a high school football coach build a championship dynasty by never playing to win? In Smith Center, Kansas, Roger Barta, 64, a longtime coach and former math teacher at Smith Center High School, wearing a red shirt, stood before his players. “…Guys. We don't talk about winning and losing. We talk about getting a little better every day, about being a team.” Over the next four months, his team went on to beat other teams, winning another perfect season.

Barta grew up in Plainville, and when a back injury ended Barta's playing career, he wasn't sure whether he wanted to be a college student. One summer, he took a job in the Kansas oil fields. It took him a single rainy day of working in the field to realize that university was for him. “I almost froze to death,” he says. He looked around at his co-workers, who were aged beyond their years. "They were all missing fingers and teeth. I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life."

He returned to Fort Hays State to earn a mathematics degree and went on to get a master's in math education at the University of Georgia. Today, Barta spends as much time helping players figure out what they want to do with their lives as he does coaching.

To most kids here, Barta is not just a winning coach but also a mentor(导师，顾问). Barta insists that the members of his team be well-rounded. During last year's playoffs(附加赛), for instance, Joe Osburn was struggling with Macbeth in English class. Barta told him that either he mastered Shakespeare or his season was finished. Barta got the captains involved, and they took turns quizzing Osburn on his lines of Shakespeare. He pulled his grades up and kept playing.

“Roger likes everything about football,” says Barta's wife, Pam. “But what he loves most is watching the boys learn a little more.”
