Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city, and so he did.When I was 16, Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one. He read about violin making, and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43. He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments. Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish (油漆) that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnishif that were the answer.One of Dads friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce (云杉), his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be asuperior violin and it would become Dads masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.Later, the instrument was stolen. Dads spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late 20thcentury violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like a Stradivarius.56. The author mentions his fathers developing color prints _.A. to show that his fathers real interest was not in making violinsB. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted toC. to give an example proving that his father was an inventorD. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father 57. What did the authors father think about Stradivarius violins?A. The varnish was different from the others.B. The way of making them was special.C. The wood of the violins was special.D. They could only be analyzed by chemists.58. How long did the authors father live after the violin was stolen?A. About 11 years. B. About 14 years.C. About 25 years. D. About 80 years.59. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that the authors father _.A. liked the violin very muchB. got crazy after this happenedC. lost interest in instrumentsD. didnt want to become famousBThank you for your interest in volunteering with the City of Melbournes tourism program.

Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoners Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.63. According to the first study, we mainly infer that _. A. the game is called Prisoners Dilemma B. the less a group punished itself, the lower its earnings C. adults are much more cooperative if rewarded D. the game is introduced in the journal Science64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study? A. Childrens IQs has much to do with physical punishment. B. The study is about violence and cooperation of children. C. The children tested were divided into groups of four. D. Childrens mental development only relies on their IQs.65. What does the underlined word “spanked” refer to? A. Punished.B. Blamed. C. Tested.D. Praised.66. What might be the best title for the text? A. The Best Way to Correct Misbehavior B. Punishment Is the Best Way of Education C. Cooperation Is the Most Successful Behavior D. Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?DCelebrities (名人) have become a powerful influence on some people because of their social position and their economic situation.First, some people admire and imitate stars because they allow themselves to be influenced by the media. Television, radio, and magazines invade the lives of spectators (观众) with a variety of shows, information, and publications about stars and their lives. For instance, Britney Spears has become the target of paparazzi (狗仔队). In May, Britney appeared at the front page of the most popular magazines revealing that she married her best friend in Vegas,Nevada. The media also invade stars lives because reporters know they can get high profits from readers who buy and follow their favorite artists news.Second, some audiences imitate their celebrities because they lack confidence. Some people who are shy and lack personality may find that imitating others will cause a good impression. For example, my cousin Jenny, who lacks a social life because of her introverted (内向的) personality, believes that acting and dressing like Jennifer Lopez will make her popular in high school.Finally, several fans of stars imitate them because of peer pressure. Since my nieces girl friends formed an Antonio Banderas fan club, she had also joined the group. Although she wasnt a huge fan of his, now she collects most of Banderas possessions. In fact, when I asked Arianna, my niece, why she was part of Banderas fan club, she replied with a doubtful tone that she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens.In conclusion, it is true that celebrities play spectacular roles in their
