Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students could suffer in many ways, including their studies and emotion. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students success in studies seems to depend on their taking part in music education.Music programs in public schools also help to add to a students sense of pride and selfconfidence. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excel lent performance.Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries (界限). Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Although they didnt speak the same language, they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and common purpose through music.The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.28. Education with music classes could .A. have a bad influence on the quality of educationB. lead to a lot of emotional problems easilyC. help students improve their school workD. waste a lot more money from parents29.

How to get music back to schoolsC. Music a bridge to understandingD. The importance of listening to musicDFor many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Center, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 13 connect the Internet using a mobile device (移动设备) from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor(监测) his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong,” Julian says.Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.Have you ever had to enter a parents email address when signing up for a website? That safety net is there because of the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parents permission (允许). However, COPPA doesnt cover everything that can go wrong online. Thats why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. “Its important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.32. Julians parents check his web use to make sure .A. he doesnt watch too many videosB. he doesnt play computer gamesC. he controls his online timeD. he stays safe on the Internet33. How does the author explain childrens unpleasant online experiences?A. By describing his own experiences.B. By showing differences.C. By presenting scientific research.D. By using examples.34. People often hold the wrong idea that .A. COPPA can ensure their complete safetyB. the Internet is becoming safer and saferC. formal websites are always safeD. daily checks prevent future online problems35. Whats the main purpose of the text?A. To ask parents to look out for their kids.B. To offer tips on online safety.C. To tell people to be careful online.D. To introduce an online law.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分,满分 10 分）根据文章内容，从短文后的选项总选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Question: I have been learning English for about 7 years. 36 And I still cant make myself understood in English.
