of american adults think music lessons, though at times boring and challenging in the eyes of some kids, improve childrens ability to learn or their performance in school. they say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.researchers at harvard university , however, have found that theres one thing musical training does not do. samuel mehr, the leading researcher of the new study, said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a childs intellectual development. the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. one group attended music class; the comparison group went to a class that places importance on the optical arts-arts that can be seen.“we found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes,” said mehr.samuel mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in iq, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons.he does not believe that iq is a good measure of a childs intelligence. therefore, the researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons.music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life, but the training is still important.mr mehr notes that the works of writer william shakespeare are not taught , so the children will do better in physics. he says shakespeare is taught because it is important for cultural reasons.“and i dont think music needs to be any different than that.”21. what attitude do most american grown-ups have towards music lessons?a. approving b. uninterestedc. doubtfuld. uncertain22. the underlined word“optical”in paragraph 2 probably means .a. colorful b. visualc. traditionald. serious23. how did samuel mehr draw his conclusion in the new study?a. by studying previous research resultsb. by measuring the iq of the kids.c. by referring to some documentsd. by comparing two different groups24. the study shows that .a. early music training has negative effectsb. musical lessons should be stopped at schoolc. playing musical instrument makes kids more creative d. musical training doesnt improve kids intelligencebselling fruit may not seem like a job that requires much skill . but xu jia disagrees. the former technician, who earned a huge salary working for a beijing-based it group, believes fresh fruit is an even more promising industry than it. so the 27-year-old quit his job and began to sell fruit and become an online sensation(网络红人).but to xu, it is only a story where a young man does what he loves and becomes happy every after, simple as this.one of his friends posted a photo comparison online. one photo is of xu as an it technician-with most of his hair having fallen out and looking pale; the other is of xu selling fruit with sparkling eyes, his hair all grown back and most importantly, a happy look on his face. all of a sudden , the photo comparison went viral, appearing on micro blogs to major news portals(门户网站).he was rewarded for his hard work over those years as a technician, but he was exhausted. thinking about what he really likes doing; eating fruit came to his mind. he quit his job early this year and returned to chongqing to build up an electronic commerce platform for fruit selling.before he made the change, xu consideren his options carefully and made some preparations. xu started his business with five young employees. one of his friends was in charge of the real store and xu managed the online store.he promoted the cherries on his micro blog and many citizens visited his online store to support him. some complained the cherries got spoiled during transportaion and some said the packaging smelled bad.xu answered the suggestions honestly. this was an important step for the young man to pursue his “fruit dream”“some websites selling fresh produce have closed. im worried about the future, but i still have confidence”, says xu.“my dream is to bring fresh fruit to the table of every family in the country, from north to south. im really happy to make this my career.” he says.25. why did xu jia quit his former job as a technician?a. he thinks fresh fruit more promising. b. he earned little money in the it group. c. he is not suitable to be a technician. d. he can become a millionaire by selling fruit.26. how exactly did xu become an online sensation?a. he quit his job which gave him a huge salary.b. the photo comparison online made him become popular. c. the photo of xu selling fruit online went viral.d. he does what he loves and becomes happy.27. whats the most

london between covent garden and holborn, look up. you might spot three letters somewhere between the starbucks angels and the pub signs: “lse”. they may not look much. but these three letters welcome

things, from history to mathematics to psychology. the university was founded in 1895. it has always set very high standards for its students. today, it accepts fewer students every year than any

tiring. he said, you know, boy, to work is a blessing. i looked at the men whod worked harder. i had a feeling i had been told something really important, but it took many years before it sunk in.back then, going to college was a rare privilege. my father told me if id picked something to study that i liked doing, id always look forward to my work. but he also added, even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all. i wanted to be a farmer, but i joined a military program to help pay for college. and what started out as an obligation to the army became a way of life that i stayed committed to for 37 years.in the late 1980s, during a visit to bangladesh, i saw a woman with her baby on her back, breaking bricks with a hammer. i asked a local officer why they werent using a machine to make the work easier. he told me a machine would put that lady out of work. and as bad as that womans job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive. it reminded me of my fathers words: to work is a blessing.after seeing a lot of people like that woman in bangladesh, ive come to believe that people without jobs are not free. theyre victims of crime, poor health, and depression. people who have jobs can have a home, send their kids to school, develop a sense of pride, contribute to the good of the community and even help others. when we can work, we are free. we are blessed.33. which can be the best title of the text?a. my chosen way of life b. to work is a blessingc. why should i work d. inspiration from a woman34. the writer joined a military program

student say to her friend that her spelling test was “as easy as falling off a log”. 36 . it is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it. 37 . one is “easy as pie”. nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet, juicy pie unless it is a “piece of cake”.“piece of cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do. a friend might tell you that his new job was a “piece of cake”.another expression is “as easy as shooting fish in a barrel”. it is hard to imagine why anyone would want to shoot fish in a barrel. but, clearly, fish in a barrel would be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream. 38 .sometimes, things that come to us easily, also leave us just as easily. in fact, there is an expression “easy come, easy go”that recognizes this. 39 . easy come, easy go.when life itself is easy, when you have no cares or problems, you are on “easy street”. everyone wants to live on that imaginary street. 40 . it means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. a wife might urge her husband to “go easy on” their son, because the boy did not mean to damage the car.a. every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions.b. another “easy” expression is to “go easy on a person”.c. in fact, it would be as easy as “falling off a log”.d. you may win a lot of money in a lottery, then spend it all in a few days.e. and one last expression, one that means do not worry or work too hard.f. there are several other expressions that mean the same thing.g. if you ever tried
