decided to visit england by car. before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. i suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak english with the family. my friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.we didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses, they said, because we found that most families were away on holiday.i thought this was strange. finally i understood what had happened. my friends spoke little english, and they thought vacancies meant holidays, because the spanish word for holidays is vacaciones. so they did not go to house where the sign outside said vacabcues, which in english means there are free rooms. then my friends went to house where the sign said no vacancies, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. but they found that these houses were all full. as a result, they stayed at hotels!we laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. in spanish, the word diversion means fun. in english, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. when my friends saw the word diversion on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. instead, the road ended in a large hole.english people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. once in paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, i said thank you in french. i meant that i would like some more. however, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! later i found out that thank you in french means no, thank you. 26. my spanish friends wanted advice about _.a. learning english b. finding places to stay in

music even has the power to move us to tears when it stirs (激起) an emotional (情绪上的,情感上的) reaction. how then, does music play a role in special education?if music has the ability to touch those hidden places we all carry inside, it proves an important tool for the special education teacher. for students with emotional problems, music can help soothe (抚慰) sadness. consider the child that arrives in class depressed and upset. if music can indeed relax and calm him, he is more likely to focus and participate in class. dr. r. joseph, author of behavioral neurology, writes, it is well recorded that patients with left hemisphere (大脑半球) damage, who may be unable to speak or recognize words, can sing a melody (曲调).for this reason, some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music. when students cannot understand or remember certain things, singing them helps to make it easier.nature magazine reported music training helps underachievers. in rhode island, researchers studied eight public school first grade classes. half of the classes became text-arts groups, receiving ongoing music training. after seven months, the students were given a test. the tested group had caught up with their fellow students in reading and surpassed (超过) their classmates in math by 22 percent. in the second year of the project, the tested students widened this even further. students were also tested on attitude and behavior. classroom teachers also noted improvement in these areas. it seems music does, indeed, play an important role in education. for the special education teacher, this is especially encouraging.31. the first paragraph is mainly about _.a. the importance of music in lifeb. the role of music in educationc. the relationship between music and work resultsd. the relationship between music and behavior32. for students with emotional problems, music might be _.a. a toy b. a punishment c. a medicine d. a puzzle33. according to dr. r. joseph, people with left hemisphere damage _.a. are unable to recognize peopleb. can produce some musical soundsc. can become special education teachersd. might suffer right hemisphere damage too 34. the tested students mentioned in the fifth paragraph _.a. behaved badly after the studyb. didnt show any difference after the studyc. had done well in their reading and math befored. received certain music education during the study35. what is the text mainly about?a. the meaning of special education. b. the history of music education.c. the problem in music education.d. the role of music in special education.(c)frank woolworth was born in rodman, new york, in 1852. his family members were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. he took a short business course (课程), and went to work as a salesman in a large city.woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. one day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. people fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.soon afterwards, woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. but he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. that is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities (大量) directly form the factories. once, for example, woolworth went to germany and placed an order (下订单) for knives. the order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. in this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.by 1919, woolworth had over 1000 stores in the us and canada, and opened his first store in london. he made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. he always run his business
