Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city. And so he did. When I was 1 6 , Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one. He read about violinmaking, and then becamea violinmaker at the age of 4 3 . He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a localcompany. He retired from the company 1 7 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the special varnish(清 漆 ) that gave thoseinstruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish-if that were the answer.One of Dads friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce（ 云杉 ） , his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.He worked for the next 1 2 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a superior violin and it wouldbecome Dads masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.Later, the instrument was stolen. Dads spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until hewas 8 0 years old, selling guitars and violins. My father has been gone for 1 4 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 2 5 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late-2 0 th-centuryviolin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like Stradivarius.4 6 . The author mentions his fathers developing color prints . A. to show that his fathers real interest was not in making violinsB. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to C. to give an example proving that his father was an inventorD. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father 4 7 . What did the author father think about Stradivarius violins?A. The varnish was different from others. B. The way of making them was special.C. The wood of the violins was special. D. They could only be analyzed by chemists.4 8 . From the underlined sentence, we can learn that the authors father . A. liked the violin very much B. got crazy after this happenedC. lost interest in instruments D. didnt want to become famous 4 9 . We can infer from the last paragraph that the author . A. really hates the thief B. misses his father a lot C. really wants to play the violin D. wonders whos playing the violinnow B Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until youlove yourself. Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, youve got tolove yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were great talentsand our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find thatbelieving in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you thinkInterestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us Unfortunately, most of these images are morenegative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole worldThe best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down allof the great things you do every day. Dont allow doubts to occur in it. It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-imagebecause you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primarytask. If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor If you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track andpractice If you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes But remember, just because you think it doesntmean its true. The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that yourimage is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need toimprove will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat（ 拍 ） yourself on the back, youll know youre well on yourway. Good luck! 5 0 According to the passage, our self-images _ A have positive effects B are probably untrue C are often changeable D have different functions5 1 How should you change your self-image according to the passage?

A Parents B Teenagers C Educators D People ingeneral CEuropeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Icelands volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fellin Iceland, Scotland and Norway. WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the tiny ash is potentiallydangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because particles (粒 子 ) taken in by people can enter the lungs and cause breathing problems.And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, werent convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples health and said WHOs warnings were“hysterical.“ They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmentedvolcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder（ 滑 石 粉 ） . During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breatheddeep into the lungs and cause irritation (发 炎 ， 过 敏 ) even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance like from the cloudcurrently hovering above Europe its health effects are often minimal, experts say.“Not all particles are created equal,“ said Ken Donaldson, a professor at the University of Edinburgh, “In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash isnot all that harmful.“ And he said most Europeans exposure to volcanic ash would be ignored and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandicvolcano would likely be at risk. Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of the British Lung Foundation, said thefurther the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. “The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we havent heard of any illeffects there,“ he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was “over the top“ and “a bit hysterical.“ 5 4 .

Drugs and herbs can make life better for they are used to improve health. From the simplest headache to a cure for cancer, Peoplebelieve that certain drugs can help them. But there is danger if the drugs are not used in a proper way. American teenagers sometimes use certain drugs to feel good. They call this “getting high”. The problem is that once a young man or a young woman hasthe feeling of “getting high, they want to do it often. If school is boring or too hard, students might get depressed and a drug or herb might help them feelbetter. If a student takes too much of a drug, the body may change in a negative way such as a confused mind, poor vision, a headache, and an uncomfortablestomach. School mow have DARE programme which means Drug Abuse ResistanceEducation. This programme was started so that young students from age 1 0 to1 8 might understand how a drug affects their bodies. The main point ofthe programme is education. Once a student understands certain drugs can cause ill health, he will know he should not use them.Education is the key to good nutrition as well. If a student eats correctly, he or she will be full of energy which leads to good study habits and goodgrades. Poor nutrition may cause the need for more sleep and poor concentration. Proper food is similar to the proper use of drugs. Both allow ahealthy body to grow while misuse prevents a person from developing normally.5 8 . The author tends to tell us that _.
