It was run by two men, one of whom Alex - used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read.

The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was markings, a book by a former secretary-general of the United Nations (UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy, but when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover, in her own handwriting (笔迹).

There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didnt play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself.

Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).The story doesnt end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompsons ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong.

Benjamins older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects. Three centuries after the appearance of Franklins Courant. few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long Newspaper complies are losing advertisers （广告商）, readers, market value. and. in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago The chief editor （主编） of the times said recently, At places where they gather, editors ask one another, How are you?, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came. “An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.” perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past thee years The New York Times Company has seen its stock （股票） drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the companys income.49.

They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer (作曲家) begins, how he manages to keep going - in fact, how and where he leans his trade -all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery 神秘).One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration (灵感) plays in a composer s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: Do I feel inspired? He says to himself:Do I feel like working today? And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: Do I feel sleepy? If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you dont feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesnt feel like working, he doesnt work. Its as simple as that.57. What would be the best tide for the text? A. Composer: a man of mystery B. Practice makes good music C. Relation between sleeping and music D. Music: product of nature58. The words covered in complete darkness underlined in Paragraph I most probably mean A. difficult to be made B. without any light C. black in color D. not known59. Most people seem to think that a composer _ .A. finds it difficult to write musicB. considers it important to have a good restC. should like to talk about inspirationD. never asks himself very simple questions60. The author will most probably agree that composers _A. are born with a gift for musicB. are people full of mysteryC. work late at night for their musicD. know a lot about eating and sleeping第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Money MattersParents should help their children understand money. 71 so you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.1. The basic function of moneyBeing explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. Its important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have.
