George is in his bedroom. He is playing on his computer again! George plays on his computer every day. But George feels sad. He plays on his computer because he doesn't have any friends. Sometimes he dreams he is playing football with lots of friends, but it never happens.

Today George is playing a computer football game. He is playing against the computer and he is winning. Suddenly the computer speaks to George.

"Hello, George! What game can we play now?"

George is surprised and jumps up from his chair. He can't believe it. Maybe he is dreaming.

George looks at the computer with big eyes. "You can speak!"

"Yes. I can do many amazing things!" Two arms shoot out of the sides of the computer. And then two legs. Suddenly the computer is walking!

It is out of control. The lights in the library are flashing on and off. People are running out of the library.

"Quick!" says George. He grabs a stick and hits his computer. There is a loud bang and it explodes into the air and falls to the ground into small pieces.

"He's gone," says Tommy.

Tommy and George leave the library together. Tommy lives in the next street to George. "That's my house," says Tommy. "Do you want to play football in the garden?"

"Yes," says George, smiling. "Who needs computers?"

George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.

Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.

In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.

In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It sill remains one of his most famous works.

George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.

1.What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?

A. He created one of his best works　　 B. He studied with Nadia Boulanger

C. He argued with French critics　　 D. He changed his music style

2.What do we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Many of Gershwin’s works were lost

B. The death of Gershwin was widely reported

C. A concert was held in memory of Gershwin

D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.

3.Which of the following best describes Gershwin?

A. Talented and productive　　 B. Serious and boring

C. Popular and unhappy　　 D. Friendly and honest

In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food?”

Well, Carlin pretty much has it right—there is not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and red in tomatoes—is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.

Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Chares Spence—an experimental psychologist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching—green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.

But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?

1.George Carlin’s words are placed at the beginning of the passage to ________.

A. show the author’s opinion

B. tell a famous person

C. introduce a TV show

D. lead in the topic

2.Which of the following statements of blue is true?

A. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.

B. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.

C. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.

D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.

3.Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because ________.

A. red-colored foods are 20% sweeter than green foods

B. our taste experience can be influenced by color

C. people prefer red-colored foods to green foods

D. before eating, people watch food for a long time

4.The underlined words “is dyed” in para. 4 are closest in meaning to “______”.

A. is eaten up                                B. has grown up

C. is changed in color                        D. is harmful to
