It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.At last, there will be two players and only one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.56.

Finally the young man told the friend that he was a prisoner returning home from a faraway prison. His behavior had brought shame on his family, and they had neither visited him nor written. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too busy to write.When he was set free, he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them, however, he had asked them to put up a signal for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had forgiven him, they were to put up a white ribbon in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didnt want him to be back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.As the train got near his hometown, his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his hand on the young convicts shoulder. “There it is,” he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. “Its all right. The whole tree is white with ribbons.” 60.

But he could not go far beneath its surface. Man wants to explore deep into the sea. However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he cant stay under the waters surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above. He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. His body is under great pressure. When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends. The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. They can even kill him.64. On the whole, this text is about _. A. special mixtures of gases in deep sea B. the problems a diver faces in deep sea C. air pressure under the surface of sea water D. a kind of illness that man suffers in the sea 65. The text does not say so, but it makes you think that _. A. deep-sea divers should be in good health B. divers explore the deep sea only for treasure C. there is a special mixture of gases under the sea D. diving under the water too quickly causes a kind of illness 66. Why does a diver get the bends? A. The air in his blood is used up B. His diving suit weighs too much C. He comes to the surface too quickly D. He tries to do exercise under the sea 67. From the text we can learn that _. A. man cannot stay under water for more than a few minutes B. the sea began to interest man in the last few years C. all divers will get the bends sooner or later D. the bends may kill a diver D The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture. Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The worlds first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museums most popular display was the skeleton of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801. Three of Peales seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits. James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.68. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The life of Charles Willson Peale.B.

EWhile I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize，I got this valuable advice from my father， “Do whatever interests you, and dont let the work challenge you, make sure you are challenging that work.”I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding . At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “How” questions soon turned into “What if I do this and that” types of questions.It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didnt know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He has headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have
