17、Mark.BFor Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He didn much better in sports. Although he played for the school 's golf team, he lost the only important match of the season.Sparky was a loser. He, his classmatesevery one knew it. Sparky n eVes smtee

18、e a go outin high school. He was too afraid of being refused.However, one thing was importa nt to Sparky -draw ing. He was proud of his artwork. Of course, no one else appreciated it. In his senior year of high school, he sent some cartoons to the editors of the Yearbook. Although the cartoons were

19、turned down, Sparky was so confident about his ability that he decided to become an artist.After completing high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios. He was told to send some samples of his artwork, and the subject for a cartoon was suggested. Sparky spent a great deal of time on it. Fi

20、nally, the reply came from Disney Studios. He had been rejected拒绝）once again. Another loss for the loser.So Sparky decided to write his own autobiograph（y 自传） in cartoons.

To blame （责备）the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquot

24、e（s 戏谑的引语） are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to doT.he original quote about hum

25、an nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, dvine （神圣的）.”This saying mirrors an ideal: People should be forgiving of others' mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the-oppositefind someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark

26、of great maturity （成熟）.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home whe

27、n you hear a weatherforecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large companies, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”And what

28、 is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it ' s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a co（j直接推论）to that: if a goodexc

29、use is “gt honest, then where is the place of the truth?32. Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?A. A secretary works to a timetable.B. A company' s next move follows a good pl.anC.

31、r this passage?A. A Mirror of Human NatureB. To Blame or to ForgiveC. A Mark of MaturityD. Truth or ExcuseDWhen students and parents are asked tograde subjects according to their importance, the arts are usually at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too oft

32、en it is only viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority优先）.This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is very important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it shows their thinking and values, as well

33、as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our charac

34、ter and values. It gives us ide ntity 身份，特性） as a society.Music provides a kind of perception （感知） that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts can express the emot（v#感的）meaning of the same thing. We need every possible way to discover and respond t

35、o our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk ” to each other. They are the language through whic express our fears, our hungers,

36、 our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do no

37、t tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.35.

38、 inment.B. Stude nts disagree with their pare nts on educatio n.C. Stude nts take music as an importa nt subject.D. Stude nts prefer the arts to scie nee.36.

41、ame from Jamaica and theyhelped to start carnival. We had very little money, but we made costumers from old bits of material and feathers, and colourful masks.

45、n guage. A lot of them in clude country n ames or n ati on alities. Take these examples:The Dutch （丹麦人）are the target of most English expressions about nationalities. Why are there so many jokes about the Dutch in En glish? And what do these expressi ons mean? In the 1t7 and early 18th cen turies, t

46、here were three wars betwee n the British and the Dutch, and Dutch became a bad word. So double Dutch means something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand. A Dutch uncle is some one who gives much stron ger advice tha n they n eed to. There are later expressi ons, which are funnier and

47、 kinder, like to go Dutch, which is nowadays a popular expression. It means to pay for your part of a bill.
