hate all the terrible pianos in this town. i hate that rubbish they play on the radio. they cant even understand a bit of music.” “im never playing in that club again. too many drunks and nobody listens to us.” but, one younger musician said, “there are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and im trying to find other places to play. im also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.” ive heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are. attitudes are important. whether theyre positive or negative, theyre rubbing off on you. if youre around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. so its time to take a look at the people you call “friends”. this is an easy exercise: make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. set a new standard (标准) for yourself and dont become friends with people who fall below that standard. keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. ask them how they do it. ask if they will help you get the work youre looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.56which of the following would be the best title for this passage?a. a friend in need is a friend indeed b. how to make friendship last for everc. you are who your friends are d. friends are the most important in ones success57the underlined sentence “theyre rubbing off on you” in paragraph 6 means _.a. theyll push you ahead b. theyll influence you c. theyll cover your shortcomings d. theyll help you achieve your goal58the musicians words at the beginning are written mainly to show _.a. the musicians living conditions are quite poor b. people have poor taste in musicc. people have different attitudes towards the same thing d. young people have greater chances of succeeding59by taking the exercise mentioned in paragraph 7, you can _.a. improve a lot in making more friends b. come to the right way of making friends c. develop a better relationship with your friends d. arrange the time with your friends properlyb the practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. with the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. however, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life.virginia berninger, professor of educational psychology at the university of washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. the study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.in a more recent study, berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. it is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” berninger said.spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says berninger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.“in our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “but until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”60. what makes writing by hand a thing of the past?a. the absence of blackboard in classroom.b. the use of new technologies in teaching.c. the lack of practice in handwriting.d. the popular use of smartphones.61. berningers study published in 2009 _.a. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.b. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.c. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.d. discussed the importance of writing speed.62. which of the following best shows the role of spelling?a. spelling improves ones memory of words.b. spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.c. spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.d. spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.63.what conclusion could be drawn from the passage?a. computers can help people with their choice of words. b. spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.c. handwriting still has a place in todays classrooms.d. functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.c volunteering abroad is a great way to help others, improve your skills and become a more confident, independent person. if you are interested in volunteering abroad, here are some places to go.australia if you seek a life on the beach, in a great climate with friendly people, australia might be your best bet. with thousands of volunteers already signing up to leave for australia during the holidays, it will be a very popular option. brazil this vast country has some great opportunities on offer and is especially popular this year. a lot of volunteer work is available in brazil centers on conservation and ecological projects. with the worlds largest rainforest in brazil, of which huge part is in danger, there are lots of different jobs you can do. kenyakenya is the destination for those seeking an african experience. generally volunteers in kenya work in orphanages(孤儿院)or with local children living in slums(贫民窟). there is a great demand for volunteers in africa because many people live in poverty, so if you truly feel like making a difference to a community, kenya should be at the top of your list.costa ricagolden sandy beaches, clear coastlines and beautiful cities are what costa rica is all about. because of its small size, you can see a lot of the country in just a short time. you can really make the most of your time as a volunteer. a lot of work is needed with wildlife and ecological work, so if you want to look after turtles on the beach, costa rica could be just the place for you 64. if you are interested in protecting the environment, you will probably go to _ a. australia b. kenya c. brazil d. costa rica65.1t can be inferred from the passage that volunteers in kenya mainly work with _ . a. animals b. plants c. the elderly d. children 66. if you choose to go to costa rica, you are supposed to _ . a. work with animals on the beach b. surf with children in the water c. take care of trees in the forests d. look after children who have lost their parentsdnot all memories are sweet. some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. often they relive these experiences in nightmares.now american researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. the pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. they hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.in november, experts tested a drug on people in the us and france. the drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. so far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. they are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected. the research has caused a great deal of argument. some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war.they say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.some memories can ruin peoples lives. they come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. they usually come with very painful emotions, said roger pitman, a professor of psychiatry at harvard medical
