Every culture has 37 its own types of music and dance, which are very different from those of other societies.Each type of music usually has a distinctive rhythm and a special sound, 38 on the kinds of instruments that are used to produce it. The most common type of instruments are 39 instruments, such as guitars and violins; wind instruments, including horns and flutes. Many different kinds of musical sounds 40 be created by using different combinations of instruments.The human voice is a very special kind of instrument, 41 it can produce a great number of different sounds with different 42 , ranging from loud to soft. Singing is very popular in most cultures because it allows us to 43 words and ideas with music.Societies coordinate body movements with musical rhythms to create 44 . Sometimes people dance for fun and individual expression. Dances can also be used to 45 ideas to an audience. Hawaiian dancers, 46 , use arm and hand movements to express the meaning of a song. In the same way, many societies use dances in religious ceremonies 47 to tell about important events.Music and dance are passed from one 48 to another and thus become a permanent part of the society and 49 culture. Of course, as cultures come 50 contact with each other, the music and dance of one society may be accepted by other societies, or the different styles may be combined to 51 a new kind of music or dance.

So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we cant go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITYAs soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.BE RESPONSIBLEThere are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you cant, own up to it early and communicate clearly. But being responsible isnt just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate, sensible decisions so you arent reeling from the consequences later.TAKE THE OPPORTUNITYIncredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Dont let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.FIND AND BE A MENTORSome of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor. One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.GET THE JOB DONE来源:Zxxk.ComIt is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, “No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.”56. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is _.A. taking part in different activitiesB. working hard to get a degreeC. seizing every chance to try new thingsD. improving themselves by learning from the others57. Which of the following about college life is true?A. Passing on what youve learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience.B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others. C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.D. You can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want. 58. What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning process.B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.59. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To give some rules for the college students.B. To call on the students to make full use of college years.C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.BWhich tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this years must have. and theres a style to suit everyone？Best for young childrenLeapPad Explorer 2, 68Aimed at children between three and nine (though a nine-year-old might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games (you can buy more). Besides, the LeapPad does not allow access to the Internet so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything inappropriate.Pros: The education games are well-designed, the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director.Cons: Some of the games are shockingly expensive. And the power adaptor is not included.Best for teenagersiPad 4th generation, 399-659The iPad is still the market leader, and for good reason. If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose.Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million apps (the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad.Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology.Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors.Best for working parentsMicrosoft Surface, 399-559Tablets are brilliant for leisure but what if you want to do a bit of work? No tablet can yet compete with a full-size laptop computer, but this is the only tablet that allows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint (they are all pre-installed and included in the price) and you can buy a pretty lovely mini- keyboard for typing letters and emails, which also doubles up as the cover.Pros: The Surface is good for watching movies a bonus when stuck in the airport on a business trip and surfing the internet.Con: The keyboard is an expensive add-on costing up to 109. It might be cheaper to buy a laptop (though a tablet is much smaller and lighter).Best for bookwormsAmazon Kindle Paperwhite, 109Nearly all tablets let you download books. Its a great way to take a mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase.But most tablets have a shiny screen which can be very distracting when youre trying to read. The Paperwhite is different: its matt screen and crisp black lettering imitate the look of words on paper brilliantly. And yet you can still read the words in the dark.Pros: Easy on the eye, excellent battery life, 180,000 free books (if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service) plus hundreds of thousands more to buy.Cons: No TV, films, games, internet or camera.60. Which of the following about Surface is NOT TRUE?A. The keyboard will add to the cost.B. The keyboard can serve as a cover.C. You have to pay extra to install Microsoft Word.D. You can watch movies or surf the Internet with it.61. If you are a game lover, which tablet is least likely to be your choice?A. LeapPad Explorer 2. B. iPad 4th generation. C. Microsoft Surface. D. Amazon Kindle Paper62. If you want to add something to your prepared PPT for a presentation at a meeting, which tablet is mosthelpful?A. LeapPad Explorer 2. B. iPad 4th generation. C. Microsoft Surface. D. Amazon Kindle Paper.CWe are not who we think we are.The American self-image is suffused with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutablea place where brains, energy and ambition are what counts, not the circumstances of ones birth.The Economic Mobility Project, an ambitious research initiative led by Pew Charitable Trusts, looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time, comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here is the finding: The rags to riches story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street. Only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top.That is right, just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom fifth of the study sample, in terms of income, were able to bootstrap their way into the top fifth. Meanwhile, an incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest quintile are still stuck at the bottom, having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder.It is noted that even in Britain-a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound class system-children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up. When the three studies were released, most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than did their parents.One of the studies indicates, in fact, that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor force. This is much less true for African-Americans.The picture that emerges from all the quintiles, correlations and percentages is of a nation in which, overall, “the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one”, as one of the studies notes.The median income of the families in the sample group was $55,600 in the late 1960s; their childrens median family income was measured at $7
