BHave you read this before? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. That is the 90/10 Principle. You really have no control over 10% of what happens to us, but you determine the other 90%.Lets use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You severely scold your daughter and she breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you blame your wife for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and she misses the bus. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school.

Did your daughter cause it?Here is what could have and should have happened.Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry.

After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same.

Instead, it was usually only those parents who played instruments that encouraged their children to follow suit.This contrasted with research carried out by other academics in America, he said. “Middle-class parents in the US appear to associate cultural practice with other benefits, such as developing specific characteristics and paving the way for educational success. Middle-class families are often marked by a pattern of concerted cultivation, where parents organize music-centred activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.”Researchers had owed this to “parental anxiety over the declining fortunes of educated Americans. These parents have become increasingly worried about providing their children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors in the job market.”By contrast, for British respondents, no such connection was made between what is considered as an overbearing parenting style and future educational or career possibilities. The parents interviewed here did not connect music with usefulness but rather they focused on the value of music as a family tradition and, to a lesser extent, as something valuable in its own right.One Scottish parent, a chemist by profession, said during the interviews, “Weve got two learning musical instruments. If we think its maybe worthwhile we try and encourage them, but we wouldnt force them.” A housewife said, “My sons just turned five and I want him to do the guitar because his uncle does it, but its up to him.”In some UK families, said Dr. Reeves, music was even “believed to be an obstacle to educational success, or at least secondary to it.”28. What do British parents think of music learning?A. Useful for job application.B. Helpful for character building.C. Beneficial to further education.D. Worthwhile as a family tradition.29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Cultural practice.B. Educational success.C. Concerted cultivation.D. School-based musical practice.30. What can be inferred from the text?A. The future of American kids is not promising.B. American parents hardly link music with success.C. Music learning is a personal choice for British kids.D. British parents show little concern about education.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Reasons for British music preference.B. British parenting style in music education.C. Americans attitude towards music learning.D. Differences between British and American parents.DIf you had to guess which direction Apple would be headed in 2019, what might you say? The companys iPhone business has been stricken because of an economic slowdown and a maturing smartphone market. Its clear Apple needs to adapt to face new realities.Some might say the obvious answer is to lower the prices on the iPhone. Others want it to expand its services beyond Apple devices to Android and Windows.But whats more likely to happen is this: iPhones will get even more expensive. The evidence for this is already starting to appear. A new report from The Wall Street Journal suggests Apple is going to give its entire 2020 iPhone line OLED screens(有机发光二极管屏幕)the same very expensive tech currently only found in the iPhone X and XS.This may seem surprising, but its all of a piece with Apples strategy: Make high profit, desirable tech, and get the rewards of creating a closed ecosystem. So Apple wants to focus on the high-end in order to satisfy choosy customers, while also recognizing that in a mature market, people will replace smartphones less often. This means high-profit devices will be key to maintaining a healthy profit, which helps explain the shift to an all-OLED lineup. That shift also allows for more basic design updates, like curved screens or edges. It is important to note, too, that even though iPhone sales are down, sales for the Apple Watch and iPad are up. For the future, Apple will continue to put more emphasis on those categories. And looking even further out, it is almost certain that Apple will enter new sectors. Apple has made some mistake policies in recent years. But the company is not down and out. Far from it: By focusing on high-end, high-profit tech, plus services, all while keeping an eye to the future, Apple will likely keep its dominant position for many years to come.32. What can we know about OLED screens? A. They havent been used by Apple. B. They will make iPhones expensive. C. They will let Apple save cost. D. They have been used in computers.33. What does Apple think of market? A. Its not fully mature. B. It needs more smartphones. C. It needs many design updates. D. Its customers are hard to be satisfied.34. Which of the following can best describe the future of Apple in the authors opinion? A. Uncertain. B. Terrible. C. Concerning. D. Promising.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. IPhones Will Be More Expensive B. The Advantages Apples Will Have C. IPhones Will Work Harder D. Apple Is Facing Difficulty 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Live Every Day Like Its A HolidayWe feel great on holiday because we let go of everyday stresses and strains. 36 So whether or not youre going away this summer, theres plenty you can do to make sure you benefit from that holiday feeling.Sleep like a holidaymakerSleep like a baby when youre on your holidays but stay awake when youre in your usual routine? 37 To reset your sleep pattern, avoid bringing problems to phone, TV or laptop.
