several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once. a couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired: “i do not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time?” the man replied: “it seems strange, isnt it? you see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one in france and another in italy. we have made an agreement that every time we go to pub, each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keeping up the family bond ”. soon all the town have heard about the mans answer and liked it a lot. the man became a local celebrity. residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at three beer man. however, one day the man came to pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. the bartender served him with bad feeling. all that evening the man ordered and drank only two

beers again, the bartender asked him: “i would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother”. the man considered this for a moment and then replied: “oh, you are probably

and mind. like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. different kinds of music influence people in different ways.i have listened to music all my life. when i was twelve years old, the beatles came to america and my whole world opened up. maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the beatles when they exploded across america. their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke. even our culture. the beatles arrived in america from the uk just under three months after the assassination(暗杀) of president john kennedy, which had put america into a great depression. and the freshness and lively spirit of the beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. this means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. and the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. music has a great way of touching people. music can make you laugh, cry or shout. its also a great source of inspiration.try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. close your eyes, and soon youll find yourself creating vivid mental imagesmatching the music that you are listening to.25. music has

wholedifferent story.in 1978, i became the first female lineman in columbus, georgia.i really enjoyedthe work, and most of the men accepted me because i worked hard at it.i think that atfirst, they didnt think i could do it. but i got right in there and proved myself.i was a lineman for about three years. then l went on to work at other outdoorjobs at the company before l retired in 1997.i decided to become a lineman because i wanted to work outdoors. i was a tomboy(假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say i had a littleexperience. my husband, william, encouraged me to give the job a try. after work, iliked to drive around town and show him the wires id spliced (加固) that day.people were surprised to see a female lineman. theyd say, look, thats a womanup that pole. one day i heard a man say, oh, look, theres a telephone man-woman! safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration wasessential. sometimes i felt a little nervous,but the guys told me i was less likely to fall if iwasnt too confident. it helped that i was strong, because the cables and equipment areheavy. im not sure every woman could have done what i did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.29. when the author first became a lineman,.a. she was sure to be promotedb. she loved it and went all out for itc. she tried her best to convince her husbandd. she

like homing pigeons: drop them off anywhere, and theyll find their way around. other people, though, cant tell when theyre holding a map upside down. are the directionally challenged just bad learners?not all of your navigational (导航的)skills are learned. research shows that your sense of direction is innate. an innate ability is something you are born with. your brain has special navigational neurons（神经）head-direction cells, place cells, and grid cells (网格细胞)and they help program your inside compass when youre just a baby.in 2010, scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rats neural activity in their brains. although the rats were newborns, the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells (which help them recognize the direction theyre facing) were fully grown and developed. the rats, it seemed, were born with a sense of direction. and they hadnt even opened their eyes yet!humans, of course, are not rats. but the hippocampusthe brain area we use for navigationis similar in most mammals. if the rats compass develops this way, then its likely that a humans compass does, too.if were born with a sense of direction, then why are some people so good at getting lost? the scientists found that the two other cellsplace and grid cellsdeveloped within the first month. place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind, while grid cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places. the two cells work together, and thats where the trouble might be.people who took part in a 2013 study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places. monitoring their brains, the scientists found that grid cells helped the gamers recognize where they wereeven without landmarks. according to researcher michael kahana, differences in how grid cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others.32. what did the 2010 research find?a. rats have a natural ability to recognize directions.b. rats hippocampus is different from that of humans.c. rats usually find their way without opening their eyes.d. baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups.33. what do we know about our navigational neurons?a. place cells let us know how to read a map.b. grid cells help us reach the place we are going to.c. they help us use a compass when we lose our way.d. place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells.34. why are some people so good at getting lost?a. they cant remember landmarks.b. their grid cells cant work very well.c. they are unfamiliar with new places.d. their ability to follow directions is poor.35. what is the text mainly about?a. human navigational skills.b. the compass in rats body.c. why grid cells are useful.d. how homing pigeons work.第二节 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， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to stop sleeping in class?sleeping in class prevents you from paying attention to the teacher as well as stops you from learning
