        the aid of two crutches.

　　The audience sat quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair and begins his play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. We thought that he would have to stop the concert. But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.

　　Of course, anyone knows that it is impossible to play a pleasant work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.

　　When he finished, there was a breathtaking silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium.

　　He smiled, wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said—not proudly, but in a quiet, holy attitude —“You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”

　　This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the meaning of life—not just for artists but for all of us.

　　So, perhaps our task in this fast­ changing, puzzling world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.

　　21. What made Itzhak Perlman's performance at the concert special on Nov.18, 1995?

　　A. He was played an operation.

　　B. He was late for the stage.

　　C. He had a quarrel with the audience.

　　D. His string of violin got broken.

　　22. Why didn't Itzhak Perlman accept the fact on the stage?

　　A. He was a person of self pride.

　　B. He thought the audience didn't see that.

　　C. He decided to succeed with fewest conditions.

　　D. He didn't see the string get broken at all.

　　23. Why did the audience give heated claps to Itzhak Perlman?

　　A. They were moved by his disease.

　　B. They were moved by his spirit.

　　C. They were laughing at his action.

　　D. They were encouraging him to cheer up.

　　24. What is the best title for the passage?

　　A. When you lose the most important thing

　　B. How can you give it up easily?

　　C. Playing a violin with three strings

　　D. Playing a violin to yourself

　　B

　　For years, mobile phones weren't much to look at. The screens were small, and users needed to press the same key several times to type a single letter in a text. Then, the first iPhone was released. Within six years, most people owned a smartphone?accepting the new technology perhaps faster than ever. It suddenly became very easy to predict what most people would be doing in public places.

　　Today, smartphones seem indispensable. They connect us to the Internet, give us directions, allow us to quickly fire off texts and can even help you find the last hotel room when your plane is grounded by a dust storm. Yet research has shown that this convenience may be coming at a cost.

　　In the beginning, smartphone users would stay together, sharing what was on their phones. As time has gone on, there's been less of that and more of what we call the alone together phenomenon. Then you become attracted by the world on the screens. This is the new normal: Instead of visiting someone, you text them. Instead of getting together for dinner with friends to tell them about your recent vacation, you post the pictures to Facebook. It's convenient, but it cuts out some of the interaction (互动）that, as social animals, we want.

　　One study asked college students to report on their mood five times a day. It was found that the more they had used Facebook, the less happy they were. Frequent smartphone users asked to put their phones face down on the table grew increasingly anxious as time passed. According to another study, people whose partners were more frequently distracted(分心的）by their phones were less satisfied with their relationships and were more likely to feel depressed.

　　Smartphones are a tool, and like most tools, they can be used in positive ways or negative ones. In moderation, smartphones are a convenient technology. Yet a different picture has also appeared over the past decade: Interacting with people face to face usually makes us happy. Electronic communication often doesn't.

　　25. What's the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2 ?

　　A. Expensive. B. Necessary. C. Fashionable. D. Unusual.

　　26. According to the passage, in the long run, smartphones will __________.

　　A. make you feel happier

　　B. have greater benefit than harm

　　C. change your understanding of the world

　　D. lead to less face-to-face communication

　　27. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that frequent use of smartphones__________.

　　A. can be harmful to people's mental health

　　B. help improve people's social skills

　　C. reduce people's interest in Facebook

　　D. make people become independent

　　C

　　I love sleeping. It’s something I’m good at. There’s nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV and when my head hits the pillow at night, I have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes. There is one place where I never nap(打盹) and that’s work – but new research suggests I should!

　　The idea of you and your colleagues(同事) heading off for a lie-down in the afternoon may seem strange, but some companies such as Google and Facebook actually encourage it. Because it’s thought that a power-nap makes them more refreshed and more focused, and this in turn makes them more productive.

　　An Australian health writer called Victoria is a founder of a campaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable. She calls herself a “naptivist”! She says: “I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to accept it. It’s time to end the common work principle which is all about working longer and harder.”

　　So should we all take a sleeping bag and pillow to work with us? A few years ago, research by the East of England Development Agency found 30% of people have their best ideas in bed compared to just 11% who have them at their desks. That suggests people are more creative when they are relaxed and the agency has called for companies to put beds in the workplace.

　　A nap in the afternoon is nothing new. In certain hot countries, such as Spain, a short rest or sleep in the afternoon, called a siesta, is quite normal. So maybe we should break from the traditional nine-to-five work culture and take a siesta. The UK’s Sleep Council claims(声称) the nine-to-five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introduce a more friendly working day for sleep.

　　28. Why are the employees of Google allowed to nap in the workplace?

　　A. They are expected to work better.

　　B. They can’t focus their attention on the work.

　　C. They support the Nap Now campaign.

　　D. They have difficulty falling asleep at night.

　　29. According to the passage, what can we learn about siesta?

　　A. It is a newly introduced pattern.

　　B. It has been taken up in Finland.

　　C. It is sort of traditional work culture.

　　D. It fits into the natural sleeping pattern. 

　　30. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?

　　A. To explain how to nap at work.

　　B. To show how the new study was carried out.

　　C. To tell us the importance of sleeping at work.

　　D. To call for the more friendly work culture for sleep.

　　There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. 31.________

　　While others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:

　　I’ ll never lose weight --- I come from a fat family

　　Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can?t blame our genes for making us fat. 32.________ The main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowly

　　Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism（新陈代谢）. In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.

　　33.________

　　Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that?s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route.

　　34.________

　　If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.

　　No pain, no gain

　　Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something?s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but with your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle , the aches should disappear relatively quickly.

　　35.________

　　A. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class.

　　B. Exercise is boring.
