for social development and introduction to people outside of their family unit. lessons learned in school go beyond mathematics and language arts. students learn to develop individual interests and find other people who share their interests. music is one of the ways likeminded children come together. when many people talk about the benefits of music education, theyre quick to point out all of the numerous and measurable results of music education: many studies show the positive impact music programs can have on children in other areas of study. dr. laurel trainor, a professor of psychology, at mcmaster university, has said young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory compared to children who do not receive musical training. stanford university researchers have found that musical training improves how the brain processes the spoken word, a finding that researchers say could lead to improving the reading ability of children who have dyslexia and other reading problems. furthermore, in an analysis of data on more than 25,000 secondary school students, researchers at the united states department of education found that students who report consistent involvement in instrumental music during middle school and high school perform significantly better in mathematics. there are many reasons why music education can help to make a child a better student, but there also being involved in music is also a social endeavor that can set the course for lifelong friends and help create social groups that last through school and beyond. music education breeds familiarity during a school career, when going from class to class or from school to school every year can be nerve wracking and unfamiliar.文章大意：这是应用文阅读。文章主要讲述了音乐教育帮助孩子更好地发展，开发孩子的智力，增强记忆力，因此音乐教育更有利于孩子的成长。12what is the function of the first paragraph?ato show school is the place for students to learn.bto stress the importance of

hear their appreciative cries of “thank you!” once the wrapping gets ripped off. but heres a tip: youd be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive.gratitude can make us happier, healthier, and even fitter. but do the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them? all the research ive done has convinced me that it wont happen. one mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone, he said, “but thats what moms should do.” from a teenagers angle, its a parents responsibility to take care of the family. according to dunham, yales assistant professor of psychology, “when teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily”its just mom and dad living up to their obligation. parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something. but kids cant know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison. and they dont learn that by a parent complaining that theyre ungrateful. we need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. show by example that gratitude isnt about stuffwhich ultimately cant make any of us happy anyway. its about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward.you can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them. you set the budget for giving and the kids decide how its distributed. once the conversation about gratitude gets started, its much easier to continue all year. also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful. when kids go off to college, you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation.teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. and we can all learn together that the things that really matter arent on sale at a department store.8. how do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents?a. they show no interest in their parents gifts. b. they cant wait to open their parents gifts.c. they show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts.d. they take their parents gifts for granted.9. to make children grateful for what they have, parents should _. a. live up to their obligation b. ask their children to have good mannersc. teach their children by setting an example d. complain their children are ungrateful10. what can we learn from the last two paragraphs?a. no gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful.b. children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents.c. children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own money d. it is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude.11. whats the purpose of the author writing this text?a. to explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents.b. to give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude.c. to encourage parents to do things together with their children.d. to remind parents of their responsibility to educate their children.【答案】8d9c10a11b8. d 推理判断题。根据第二段第五句from a teenagers angle, its a parents responsibility to take care of the family.可知从年轻人的角度出发，照顾家人是父母亲的责任。也就是说他们把父母亲给他们礼物当成是理所当然的事情。故d正确。9. c 细节理解题。根据第三段第五句show by example that gratitude isnt about stuffwhich ultimately cant make any of us happy anyway.作者建议父母亲通过给出例子想孩子证明感激不是金钱可以换来的，因为金钱是不能让我们开心的。也就是说建议我们通过举例的方式。故c正确。10. a 推理判断题。感觉最后一段第一句teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them.可知教给孩子关注生活中积极的事情并感激生活中那些美好的事物是父母亲给孩子的最好礼物。也就是a项“没有什么比教会孩子积极乐观有感恩心更重要的礼物了。”故a正确。11. b 主旨大意题。作者在本文中告诉我们现代社会中很多孩子对于自己得到的事物没有一颗感恩之心，作者在文章三、四段中对于这个现象给出了我们一些建议，如给孩子例子来证明金钱不能换来感激之情。同时告诉我们教给孩子关注生活中积极的事情并感激生活中那些美好的事物是父母亲给孩子的最好礼物。所以b项内容正确。【名师点睛】议论文，有论点，有事实。作者往往根据一些很普通的事实，通过严谨的思维，缜密的推理得出一个具有普遍性或指导性的观点。该类文章逻辑性强，命题往往从事实的有关细节以及文章的主旨或作者的表达意图等方面着手，考查我们的思维能力和判定能力。 英语文章讲究使用主题段或主题句。主题段通常在文章开头，简要概括文章的中心思想，主题句可能在一段的开头交待该段的中心意思，再由全段展开或讨论这个意思。主题句也可能在中间或末尾，由全段展开讨论后归纳总结出来。段与段之间常用词语连接，承上启下，使文章行文连贯，为了深化主题，作者可能用许多方法来写。议论文的阅读和其它体裁的文章阅读一样，可以有以下几种出题方式：1主旨大意；2细节理解；3推理判定等；4词义理解。 1主旨大意题。主旨大意题是专门检查对短文整体理解程度的。每篇文章都有主题句表明其主题(中心)思想。常见的问题有： (1) from the passage we know that _. (2) the best title of the passage should be _. (3) the main idea of the paragraph is to _. (4) the main purp
