One day, while I (1) (walk) on the street, I heard that a beautiful piece of piano music (2) (play) above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly (3) (find) out where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano. She was singing songs about love, believing in yourself and keeping on (4) (try). The way she was singing made me (5) (relax). I stood there quietly, watching her playing on such a crowded New York square. I thought that she must be brave enough to perform in front of so many people. She noticed me. I walked over and (6) (tell) her how good her music sounded. “Thank you，” she said. “I have been going through a hard time recently, but youve made me hopeful again. ” I said to her. “Im glad that I could help you，” she replied. “Why are you so sad？”“Well, my mum (7) (lose) her job, and Im not so sure what to do. . . ”“Did you notice the way you were walking? Your head was down，” she said. “(8) (not be) upset, because opportunity comes in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You (9) (smile) more. . . lift your head up. ”I looked at her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. “Why (10) you (play) the piano here now？” I asked her with a smile. She explained that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer them up by playing music. I smiled a little wider, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on. (二)A recent online poll(民意调查) (1) (ask) kids what they hated most about school. “Classes are boring” came in first. “Too much homework” was a close (2) (two). Since all activities remain interesting for only so long, too much homework can lead to ennui(厌倦). So, why are some kids getting homework overload? Teachers give two reasons. First, they say, the government now requires schools (3) (meet) higherthanever achievement goals for students. If students dont succeed, the school (4) (face) punishment. Second, many parents want their children to be able to get into the (5) (good) colleges and universities. These parents believe homework is a way to make sure that students are learning as much as possible. People who favor homework argue that it can have many beneficial effects. They claim it can help students develop good study habits. Homework (6) (help) students recognize that learning can occur at home as well as at school. It can help develop their independent learning and responsible character traits(性格特征)But studies show that middle school students doing 60 to 90 minutes of homework a night are doing just as well in school as those doing more than 90 minutes. And homework can have negative effects. Homework can deny students access to leisure(休闲) activities that also teach important skills. For example, sports teams teach cooperation and leadership, in addition to (7) (help) kids stay physically active. Another problem with too much homework is that parents can get too involved. They can put too much pressure on their kids. So what should (8) (do)? Good homework assignments in the proper amount (9) (have) positive effects. Too much homework, however, will have negative effects. The bottom line: Students in grades three through six should do no more than 30 to 60 (10) (minute) of homework each night. 参考答案(一)1was walking2. was played3. to find4. trying5relaxed6. told7. lost8Dont be9. should smile10. are;
