in 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader paul whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. and in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called rhapsody in blue. gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. the audience were thrilled when they heard his music. it made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. george gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. he was only thirty-nine years old. newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. people mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written. 61. many of gershwins musical works were _ . a. written about new yorkers b. composed for paul whitemanc. played mainly in the countrysided. performed in various ways 62. what do we know about the concert organized by whiteman?a. it attracted more people to theatresb. it proved jazz could be serious music c. it made gershwin leader of the orchestra d. it caused a debate among jazz musicians. 63. what did gershwin do during his stay in paris?a. he created one of his best works b. he studied with nadia boulangerc. he argued with french critics d. he changed his music style64. what do we learn from the last paragraph?a. many of gershwins works were lost b. the death of gershwin was widely reported c. a concert was held in memory of gershwind. brain cancer research started after gershwins death. 65. which of the following best describes gershwin?a. talented and productiveb. serious and boring c. popular and unhappy d. friendly and honest cbabies understand what their mothers say, even when they speak a language their children have never heard before, scientists claim.the researchers found that one-year-olds reacted in exactly same way to their mothers voices regardless of whether they were speaking english or greek, showing what mothers have long known that babies pick up on tone of voice rather than the words themselves. the researchers, from cardiff universitys school of psychology, observed babies as they watched their mothers perform actions with toys using the english words “whoops” and “there”. the scientists studied reactions from one-year-old babies to their mums voices even when they were speaking both english and greek, and keeping the same tone of voice. the academics found that babies reproduced the same reactions regardless of whether they knew the language. study leader dr merideth gattis of cardiff universitys school of psychology says, “what this work showed was that children could have access to understanding simply through tone of voice. we did whoops and there in two languages and got exactly the same results.” the research, published in the journal cognitive development, was conducted on 84 babies aged between 14 and 18 months, over the course of a year, with none of the babies having any previous exposure to greek.dr gattis says that children respond to tone clues in their parents voices from an early age.she says, “tone of voice is a really useful signal of what someone is thinking. we never have direct access to other peoples minds, except the signals in language that they give out.” she says the study shows that it is less important what parents say than how they say it. dr gattis adds, “a child may ask if you like his / her drawing, for example. you might say yes, but if you dont sound enthusiastic, the meaning may not get across.” before children begin to speak, parents should use exaggerated tone when speaking to them. 66. according to the text, what have mothers long-known? a. babies have a better understanding of english. b. babies pick up on tone of voice. c. babies like their mothers performances. d. babies like drawing from an early age. 67. which of the following is true, according to the study? a. tone of voice is the most useful sign of what someone is thinking. b. after children begin to speak, tone becomes unimportant. c. the babies acted the same way regardless of the language. d. the research was conducted on 48 babies. 68. according to the text, dr. gattis believes that _. a. we have no access to other peoples minds b. babies cant understand what “yes” means c. parents should always sound enthusiastic d. how a parent speaks is more important than what he or she says69. whats the text mainly about? a. the content of the journal cognitive development. b. the famous works of dr. gattis. c. babies understanding their mothers through tone. d. babies having the potential to learn language well. 70. the text can be classified as _. a. a report b. an advertisement c. a handbook d. a guide dwhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? one reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. when we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. these enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. when we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. in both instances, the result is obesity. when too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. to protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. the body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the pas
