One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign and turned it over, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign hack so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.

Soon the hat was filled up. More and more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see how things were. The boy realized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write？” The man said, “I only wrote the truth.

But he lived more than 50 years more and continued his scientific work. Because of it, Hawking had to stay in a wheelchair and lost his ability to speak.

You probably think the music that your parents like is old and dull, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But here is what scientists found: people's music tastes change with their age, according to a study. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents'.

We used to think that culture and personality are the only factors that affect one's music choice. But researchers at the University of Cambridge got data from more than 250, 000 people over the past 10 years, they noticed that as people grow, their music taste changes. There are three musical periods as people grow up“exciting” , “popular” and“sophisticated”．

The first period comes in the teenage years. People prefer exciting music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be active. But as people move into early adulthood, they hope to build close relationships with others. As a resu1t, they become more fond of popular music, such as pop and R&B, which are usually uplifting and danceable. When middle age comes, things have settled down for most people. In this period they will like more “sophisticated” music better, such as jazz and classical, as well as more catchy music like country and blues. For many, they feel tired because of work and family, and they need relaxing and emotive music.

But you must be thinking: “Aren't there old people who are still into rock music? Of course there are. But Jason Rentfrow, a research member explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We like music for different reasons，” he said, and thus at that age people may listen to music that can remind themselves of their youths.

1.Which kind of music might teenagers like?

A. Country music. B. Classical music.

C. Rock music. D. Pop music.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B. Middle－aged people hope to build close relationships with others.

C. Old people will never like exciting music like rock and punk.

D. Music like country and blues can make people relax.

3.What does the underlined word “sophisticated” mean in Paragraph 1?

4.What is the main idea of the passage？.

A. People like different kinds of music as their age.

B. Different people like different kinds of music.

C. The most popular kinds of music in the world.

D. People should like the same music as their parents.

What is life's greatest gift? It is choice. Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal. 1. The reason is that it turns us from dumb animals into artists. Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn't come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.2. It is enjoyment.

Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices. 3. We often need to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what action will I take now to make myself realize my goals?

4.And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which store to shop at and which bus station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.

Life is like a chess game.5. All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.
