You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect(尊重) and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people cant hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldnt have it turned up too high.Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools dont allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that dont have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while its OK just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and its not for you.Its Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.（1）No one wants to listen to_ from others MP3 player.A . a loud soundB . sad storiesC . a long movieD . the words of a song（2）We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_.A . is not enjoyableB . makes us tiredC . is bad for MP3 playersD . hurts our ears（3）If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, _.A . the teacher wont allow itB . the actors will get angryC . others wont hear the play wellD . we will miss part of the play（4）We can take one earphone out when we_.A . show others the wayB . talk to friends on the phoneC . watch a sporting eventD . have dinner with our parents（5）Its all right to use our MP3 player in_.A . schoolsB . librariesC . restaurantsD . museums19. （10分）根据短文内容判断正、误。 Once upon a time, there lived a teacher in a small town.

The third in summer. And the last in autumn.After the four students came back, the teacher called them together. They pictured (描述) their feeling to the teacher. The first student said that there were no leaves on the trees. It made him very disappointed. The second student said his eyes were full of light green. It made him feel hopeful. The third one disagreed. What are you talking about? How pretty the trees were! The sweet smell of the beautiful flowers spread(传播) here and there. The last one shook his head. He only saw a lot of apples on the beautiful trees.The teacher smiled and told his students none of them were wrong. They each just saw one season. He continued, The trees are not the same in different seasons. You cant judge (判断) a tree by only one season. Dont let the regret of one season destroy the beauty of the rest. Everything has different sides in our life. Dont hurry to make a conclusion(结论) before seeing the whole of it.（1）Four students were sent to see apples in different seasons. （2）The first student left for the small farm in winter. （3）The last student saw the beautiful trees with many apples. （4）The teacher thought his four students were completely wrong. （5）The passage mainly tells us that we should judge things by only one side. 20. （10分） Xiao Ming is playing with his friend in front of a house.

Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the research of Jane Goodall.Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934. She became interested in animals and animal stories when she was a very young child. She always dreamed of working with wild animals. When she was eleven years old, she decided that she wanted to go to Africa to live with and write about animals. But this was not the kind of thing young women usually did in the 1940s. Everybody was laughing except her mother. “If you really want something, you work hard, you take advantage of opportunity, you never give up, you find a way,” her mother said to her. The opportunity came at last. A school friend invited her to Africa. Jane worked as a waitress until she had got enough money to travel there.In 1957, Jane Goodall traveled to Africa. She soon met the well-known scientist Louis Leakey and began working for him as an assistant. He later asked her to study a group of chimpanzees living by a lake in Tanzania. Very little was known about wild chimpanzees at that time.Jane spent many years studying chimpanzees in this area of Africa. It was not easy work. They were very shy and would run away whenever she came near. She learned to watch them from far away using binoculars. Over time, she slowly gained their trust(信任). She gave the chimpanzees human names such as David Graybeard, Flo and Fifi. Watching the chimpanzees, she made many discoveries. They ate vegetables and fruits. But she found that they also eat meat. A few weeks later, she made an even more surprising discovery. She saw chimpanzees making and using tools(工具) to help them catch insects.Jane Goodall has written many books for adults and children about wild chimpanzees.

Different people have different kinds of hobbies, according to their personal likes and dislikes. Hobbies are activities we choose to do, but not activities we have to do. There is a lot of difference between wanting to do something and having to do it. We only want to do those things we like to do, and things that give us pleasure and peace of mind.Hobbies play a very important role in our lives. For example, they are a way of connecting us with our inner self. The time devoted to taking up a hobby is our own time. This is the time when we can connect and communicate with ourselves. During this personal time, we can do whatever we like. Doing things according to our own wishes gives us a sense of inner satisfaction, and also helps develop self-confidence.Hobbies also help discover talents. There is a possibility that we are interested in a certain activity, but have never had a chance to try it. If we develop our interest as our hobbies, its quite clear that well do it with great interest. So, even if we have never tried a certain thing before, we can still learn to do it. The hobbyists hidden talents can be discovered, and this can make them feel more confident.Its human nature to try to know more about the things we like. The moment we pursue (追求) some activities as our favorite hobbies, we want to gain more knowledge about the same hobby. Whether its gardening, cooking, painting or collecting stamps, we always try to get a deeper understanding of what were doing, so that we can do it more correctly. Whats more, we also happen to meet people with similar tastes and sometimes, owning rich knowledge about their hobbies. Besides gaining knowledge, hobbies also provide us with a chance to meet people who share similar likes and dislikes with us.Whatever our hobbies are, they can be developed at any age, as a child or as an adult.
