并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Have you ever thought about why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music?

Well, to understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard

music in these places. Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music

helps us pay attention to what we are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps

them recover faster and better.

Depression is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time.

There are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that

everything is getting worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown

that music can be an important mood lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great

role in making us feel less nervous or worried. Anxiety can often cause loss of sleep and

other illnesses.

Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language

another person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can

often be the best way to connect with someone.

Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely

on the kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel

better, sad music can further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often

make you feel a lot more powerful, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at

the end of a long way. If you want to use music to change the way how you are feeling,

you need to understand the role of it, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your

mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the kind of music you can use, you can

use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can be the perfect way to help

us feel happier.

21. The passage is mainly about __________.

A. what meanings music has B. how we control our moods

C. how music affects our moods D. what kind of music we listen to

22. According to the passage, playing music in restaurants is to __________.

A. welcome the customers B. make customers feel good

C. make customers dance D. make customers feel powerful

23. From the passage, we can know that __________.

A. most of us suffer depression all the time

B. most of us respond to music in different ways

C. music can be a good way to connect with others

D. any kind of music will help us improve our moods

24. According to the passage, which kind of music can relax ourselves from a long day’s

work?

A. Soft music. B. Classical music. C. Sad music. D. Rock music.

Did you know that something as simple as the wallpaper on your computer can tell

people a lot about you? According to researcher Donna Dawson, our computers say

something about what we're like because they are part of our “personal space.”

A picture of a child or family on the screen often means the person cares deeply

about their loved ones. A photo of the person surrounded by friends shows they value

their popularity and probably work well with other people. On the other hand, pictures

showing examples of past successes, like winning a prize may mean a person is only

interested in themselves.

Pictures of nature and natural scenery tell people that you are driven to succeed and

use the pictures to relax and remove the pressure in your life. Cityscapes, pictures of

cities or towns, show that you enjoy travel and adventure. Most people with cityscapes

as their wallpaper are optimistic and happy people who feel even better thinking about

the places they’ve visited or they want to visit.

Pictures of animals show that you are optimistic and kind-hearted. You are often

happy and you enjoy life and act young. Cartoons or drawings show that you are a

multitasker, someone who does many things at once. You have many responsibilities,

but you deal with them well. That's one reason you like having something to smile

about when you look at your computer wallpaper.

Then, what does plain blue wallpaper tell us about a person? According to Dawson,

a person with plain blue wallpaper probably values their privacy and keeps work from

becoming too personal.

25. A prize photo as wallpaper suggests someone_______.

A. has a strong wish to succeed B. is confident about himself or herself

C. cares only about himself or herself D. works very well with others

26. Those who look on the bright side of things are likely to have wallpaper

like_______.

A. pictures of nature and natural scenery B. city views or pictures of animals

C. pictures showing their past successes D. photos of staying with friends

27. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Where to Look for Your Computer Wallpaper

B. Computer Wallpaper Shows Your Personality

C. How to Place Wallpaper on Your Computer

D. Computer Wallpaper Interests Everyone

If you are human, you can’t help but experience times when everything seems to be

going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during those

“down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even

strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can

sink you deeper and deeper into depression.

For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through

the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit( 坑). All of the other frogs gathered

around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs

they would never get out.

The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other

frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other

frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued

to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the

pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.

When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they

were all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little

bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to

another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those

opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them

wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.

28. The first paragraph tells us that words play an important part especially when

_______.

A. we stay with our family, friends and co-workers B. we hear strangers say something

to us

C. we get through hard times in life D. we make some big mistakes

29. The underlined phrase “took heed of” has the similar meaning with “_____.”

A. acted according to B. had some doubt C. held on to D. got used to

30. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. That’s

because_________.

A. he struggled to prove that they were wrong

B. he thought they were encouraging him

C. he was angry with what they said

D. he didn’t want to let them down

31. After reading the passage, readers should learn a lesson that _________.

A. we can use encouraging words to help others out

B. having a positive attitude is important in life

C. never give up until we win

D. we must believe in ourselves rather than others

Robert Taylor, who was helpful in creating the Internet and the modern personal

computer, has died. He was 85.

“Any way you look at it, from kick-starting the Internet to launching the personal

computer revolution, Bob Taylor was a key architect of our modern world,” Leslie

Berlin, a historian at the Stanford University Silicon Valley Archives project, told the

New York Times.
