Youve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad.Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they werent honest, you wouldnt be reading those stories in the papers.One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didnt get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasnt been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofers Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesnt make any difference what they call it; its still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.1. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?A. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.B. Taxicab drivers are dishonest.C.

Making music is something that we are born with. Theres a reason we refer to music as the“universal language”；there has been no known human culture without music,Dancingandmusic came before agriculture, and possibly even before languageThe fact that whale music andhuman music have so much in common suggests that music may exist before humans and that wemay be latecomers to the musical scene rather than being the inventors of music We begin life being affected by music; babies first begin to respond to music even beforetheir birth，Whether or not its true, everyone has heard that playing classical music; for your babysupposedly helps him or her become smarter. A study done in the United Kingdom concluded thatchildren were able to .recognize and even preferred music that they had heard lip to three monthsbefore birth. Although it made no difference whether it was rock music or country music, thebabies who were exposed to faster songs showed a stronger preference for that song than thosewho had heard something slower. Researchers have also found that the playing of soft backgroundmusic or a mothers soft singing actually helps premature (早产的）babies. Those who were.subjected to the music tended to gain weight faster and were able to leave hospitals earlier thanthose who werent. However, the study in the UK uncovers no links between babies listening tomusic and increased intelligence or brain development. Another experiment at the University of California at Irvine compared the puzzle-solvingabilities of 3-year-olds who were given piano lessons with those of others who sang, usedcomputers, or did nothing. The children studying the piano were better at the puzzlesAlso, highschool students with a musical background seem to do better in their SATs，Whether its naturalintelligence that helps the children do better in both music and math，or the music that helpsdevelop other areas, you cant deny the benefits of a musical background. On the other hand, its possible that some music and lyrics（歌词）could be had for childrenand teenagersThe lyrics of todays popular music are stated more and more clearly. A study oilmass media and teenagers showed that a group of 14- to 16-year-olds in 10 different southeasterncities listened to music an average of 40 hours per week. Obviously, the music they are listeningto plays a large part in their lives，and especially influences self-identity. So any bad influencesin the music will have a very direct effect on the teenagers.Several other experiments mentioned in the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement on the Effect of Music Lyrics and Music Videos on Children and Youth supported this idea. One study from Sweden found that children who developed a preference to rock music were more likely to be influenced by their peers than by their parents. Others showed links between a predilection for heavy metal and detrimental behaviors, including taking drugs, self-killing risk, and other risk-taking habits. The American Acajeny of Pediatries (AAP) doesnt support the idea of censorship（检查制度）, but strongly encourages parents to monitor what their children are listening to. 50.Music is regarded as the “universal longunge” because_51.Acording to Paragrapg 3,what afgerts bubies preference for songs? A.The tone B.The specal C.The style D.The lyries【参考答案】50、C 5154、BDAD 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth 100 million.

A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldnt have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (闪光) on the snow, and the trails (路线) were completely empty not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around until we got going. As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. u But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心). My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed. As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didnt take my chance now, I would regret it. I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day. We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself proud of overcoming my fear.11 .What is the story mainly about? A. What the
