Since I had primarily seen ice cream men drive their musical trucks around neighborhoods for elementary school kids, I never thought an ice ream man would circle our campus and come for us, overgrown kids, such as myself. I was intrigued（使着迷）and prompted（刺激）to investigate further.I was quite surprised when the sweet and rather chubby（圆胖胖的）man in the truck called out，“free ice cream!”I questioned him just to confirm his words saying,“Im sorry, what did you say?”“Free ice cream, you have your choice for these four frozen（冷冻的）treats：the rocket pop, the chocolate eclair（泡芙）, or the drumstick.”After I got the confirmation, I talked with the man. He told me that his dream had always been to travel around giving away ice cream, and thats exactly what he did. So his passion was expressed through maxing out（竭尽全力）all his credit cards, sleeping in his truck and living with his mom, so he could continue to follow his dream during hard times. Now, he has sponsorships from large corporations such as Levis to do what he loves, and so far hes gifted 125,000 of his truckload of ice cream treats!The ice cream man told me that he was interested in inspiring people to do exactly what their hearts tell them to do in life. I kept asking him in awe（敬畏），“So your dream was to just drive around and give away ice cream?”It seemed like such a peculiar goal.“Yes, just meeting people and making them smile,” he replied.He hadnt heard of them, but said he would check out .

Traveling with your familyIf you are traveling in a family group, you should insist that the airline does not separate you throughout the aircraft. Why? Its only natural that if youre involved in that sort of situation that youre going to want to reunite the family group before you evacuate（疏散）. If you do that, its going to cause havoc（混乱）.2. The seat beltHow do you unfold your seat belt in your car? You press a button. In a plane, you lift a flick. If you cant unfold your seat belt then, you cant evacuate and your chances of survival plummet.3. Does it matter where you sit?Sit within seven rows of an exit and count exactly how many rows you are from the nearest two exits. Count so that you can find an exit in the dark. And why two exits? Because the nearest exit to you might not be viable.4. Facing backwardWe would all be safer if airline seats faced backward. But the difficulty with this is that the majority of the traveling public doesnt like traveling with their back facing the direction of travel.5. FireSmoke contains toxic gases, narcotic gases. It contains irritant gases. If you breathe enough of them you will die, explains Galea. He carries a smoke hood but warns that if youre going to follow his example you must learn how to use it. Otherwise youll waste time trying to put it on time that could be used for making an exit.6. Final ThoughtListen to the preflight briefing by the flight attendants and read the safety card. Be prepared. And if youre about to crash, do adopt the brace position - head down, ankles behind knees. The brace position is one of the most important things a passenger should take on board when they fly, its designed to reduce your chances of being knocked unconscious during a heavy impact.39. Why should you sit with your family group?A. to avoid causing mass when crash happenB. to talk about the destiny and tripC. to cause havoc when the emergencies happenD. to reunite your family group when the emergencies happen40. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. You can press a flick to unfold your seat-belt in a plane.B. It would cause less damage when passengers sit backward the flying direction.C. You can save yourself and time by putting on a smoke hood on your headD. The brace position, head low and ankles behinds knees, is the vital things a passenger should take on aboard.41. Whats the best title for this passage?A. The survey of an Australian professorB. Survivors of 105 crashes since 1985C. Tips of survival for crashD. How to choose a safe seat on a planeDMany people underestimate（忽视）music education in the school today. A new study revealed, however, that music education is extremely important.In college, music education is one of the largest programs. Teachers have to learn to play every instrument（乐器）,they must learn music history and music theory, they must learn instrument repair and teaching methodologies（教育理论）, they must learn conducting and so much more. At the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music.Music plays a very important role in our education.Music helps with math and science. Students learn to count, keep a steady rhythm（节奏）,and how to multiply and divide. They even learn a little bit of algebra（代数）. Students also use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesnt. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”, which is about how music is produced by vibration（颤动）and why.Students learn a huge amount of coordination through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use motor skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as theyre playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns. It almost leads to a philosophical（哲学的）environment. Students have to be absolutely aware of what every other musician does at every time. In that way, it develops cooperation as well. They tend to develop more capability for learning.As one can see, music is also very important to education besides brings us fun.42. Learning music in college will be quite .A.easy B.stressful C.relaxing D.convenient 43. The underlined word “coordination in Para.6 probably means .A. Body buildingB. Working togetherC.

Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you dont feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates that _ . Dr. Winkle says, The more we worry about, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good nights sleep, he adds, we can often find the energy to deal with whats worrying us.So, what is a good nights sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. When you put the light out, Dr. Winkle says, concentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and youll be asleep before you know it.1 What is the best title of the passage? （Please answer within 10 words.）_2.
