how can you take the pain, for example, and write it into a history book? you cant. but you can put it to music. take the blues for example.the blues started when black musicians in the south began to sing about their hard times, those times which made them feel blue. the early blues was the beginning of other musical styles, from jazz to rock and roll.music, you might say, is a record of feelings.of course, facts are important: the civil rights movement, the race for space, the vietnam war. but the feelings behind these events the pride of being black, the excitement of a rocket blast (点火起飞), the pain of a war are also an important part of history.45. in the passage, the word “blue” and the word “blues” are related to _.a. a feeling and a kind of musicb. a colorc. a kind of music and a persond. people and their feelings46. according to the writers idea, what can make people feel blue? a. a history book b. music.c. history. d. hard times.47. besides the above, the writer also explains _. a. what caused the vietnam warb. the feelings behind some important eventsc. the relation between history and music d. why he wrote the articlebhaving returned from her round trip (往返旅程), the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “the railway owes (应给予) me12,” she said to harry jenks, the young man working at the office, “you sold me a ticket for may 22nd, but there was no ship from jersey that night. so my daughter and i had to stay in a hotel. it cost me 12.” harry was worried. he remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “come into the office, madam,” he said politely, “ill just check the jersey timetable for may 22nd.” the woman and her little girl followed him inside. she was quite right, as harry soon discovered. there was no sailing on may 22nd. how could he have made such a careless mistake? he shouldnt have sold her a ticket for that day. wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “you look sunburnt,” he said to her. “did you have a nice holiday in jersey?” “yes,” she answered, shyly. “the beach was lovely. and i can swim too!” “thats fine,” said harry. “my little girl cant swim a bit yet. of course, shes only three” “im four,” the child said proudly. “ill be four and a half.” harry turned to the mother. “i remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “but you didnt get one for your daughter, did you?” “err, well” the woman looked at the child. “i mean she hasnt started school yet. shes only four.” “a four-year-old child must have a ticket, madam. a childs return ticket to jersey costs let me see13.50. so if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe 1.50. the law is the law, but since the fault was mine” the woman stood up, took the childs hand and left the office.48. the woman was angry because_.a. she couldnt use the ticket for her round tripb. she had to return home a day earlier than she had plannedc. she spent more money than she had expectedd. harry had sold her a ticket to jersey where there was no sailing49. harry started talking to the little girl_.a. because he was in difficulty and did not know what to dob. because he had a little girl about the same age as this girlc. because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so niced. when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl50. the woman left the office without saying anything because_.a. she wanted to go home and get money for the childs ticketb. she was so angry that she didnt want to have anything more to do with the young manc. she was moved by harrys kindnessd. she knew she would have to pay the railway if she insisted cin the united states, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning. if you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate(立即的) attention. so it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. if someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that its a matter of life and death. the time chosen for the call communicates its importance.in social life, time plays a very important part. in the usa guests are likely to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. but it is not true in all countries. in other areas of the world, it may be thought silly to make an appointment(约会) too far ahead because plans which are made for a date more than a week away may be forgotten. the meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in american life, for example. if people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible(责任). in the usa no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. a person who is 5 minutes late is asked to make a shout apology (道歉). if he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation(解释), though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.51. a call at midnight would mean_.a. the matter is less important b. the matter is too difficult to handlec. the matter requires immediate attention d. it is a matter of life and death52. according to the passage, time plays a very important part in_.a. everyday life b. personal life c. getting along with others d. business53. in the passage, the writer suggests that invitation cards should be sent_.a. three or four days before the party date in all culturesb. three or four days before the party date in some culturesc. three or four days before the party date in the usad. at your chosen time dat noon the rush hour had passed. there were few guests (顾客) in the snack bar. it was not crowded. when the boss was about to take a break to read a newspaper, in came an old lady and a little boy. “how much money is a bowl of beef soup?” the grandma sat down, counted the money in her purse and ordered a bowl of beef soup. the grandma pushed the bowl to the little boy, who swallowed (吞咽) his saliva (口水), looking at his grandma and saying, grandma, did you really have lunch? of course. his grandma chewed (咀嚼) a piece of radish (萝卜泡菜) slowly. very quickly, the little boy ate up the meal. seeing this. the boss went over to them and said, old lady, congratulations, you are lucky to have the free food, for you are our 100th guest. afterwards, over a month or more, one day, the small boy squatted (蹲) across the snack bar, where he seemed to be counting something, which shocked the boss when he happened to look out office window. when the small boy saw a guest walk into the snack bar, he would put a small stone into the circle he drew, but the lunch time had almost passed, the small stones he put into the circle were hardly 50. the boss was quite worried and called up all his old guests. the guests started coming one after another. 81, 82, 83 the small boy counted faster and faster. at last, when the 99th small stone was put into the circle, the little boy hurried to pull his grandmas hand and went into the snack bar. grandma, this time its on me, the little boy said proudly. the grandma who had become the real 100th guest was served a bowl of beef soup by her grandson. as his grandma as before, the little boy chewed a piece of radish in his mouth.54. grandma ordered only one bowl of beef soup because _.a. grandma only liked radishb. grandma didnt like beef soup c. grandma loved her grandson more than herself d. there was only one bowl of beef soup left in the snack bar at that time55. what do you think of the boss of the snack bar?
