For one tired out from work, autumn is one of the best times to step into the open air to kick back and enjoy some great music. And that’s what many Beijingers have done this past weekend.
Family, friends, laughter; beautiful grass, fresh air and live music echoing (回响) off the forest and the Great Wall that surround this place. A weekend in this music paradise（乐园） just seems too short. Besides, a brand new world-class outdoor theater has just been open at this year’s festival, which will surely make the festival a better and more permanent experience.
A full house is before the new outdoor amphitheater (圆形剧场). Even the thunderstorm couldn’t break up the crowd completely absorbed in the music. Thanks to the new theater, this year’s Great Wall Forest Festival offers even more superb acoustics（音效的）and an overall outdoor theatrical experience, even though the project is still half complete.
The festival is now in its fourth year. Since its first show in 2010, the festival has seen a steady increase in festival-goers and has expanded its length from two days to four days, divided over two weekends. It has also been experimenting with a variety of styles, from classical to pop, with this year’s theme “Celebrating 20 Years of Chinese Folk Song.” Folk Song legend Lao Lang explains how folk songs have helped encourage more amateur folks to express themselves through music.
“Before music was reserved for the professionals. But folk songs made young people realize that they can express themselves through music as well. And that’s what characterizes folk songs. It’s popular music and it always has a story.” said Lao Lang.
Unlike some of the other outdoor festivals, the Great Wall Forest Festival appeals to a wide range of audiences. It’s a rare place where teens, parents and families can all enjoy the outdoors and have a great time.
Great music and scenery aside, many children’s workshops, master music classes, and interactive art activities have also been introduced this year. If music is the reason to come to the festivals, you’ll find even more reasons not to leave.
1.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “kick back” in Paragraph 1?
A. to hit with legs. B. to work harder
C. to relax oneself D. to make people leave
2.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The place where the Festival is held is near the Great Wall.
B. The completed project adds to the attraction of this year’s Festival.
C. The audience attending the festival bury themselves in the music.
D. The year 2010 saw the beginning of the Great Wall Forest Festival.
3.The 2014 Great Wall Forest Festival has got improved in the following aspects except that _________.
A. it has included different types of music
B. it has attracted a wide range of audiences
C. it has introduced more activities besides music
D. it has been expanded from 2 days to 4 days in a week
4.According to Lao Lang, we can know that _________.
A. folk songs can help amateur singers become famous easily
B. folk songs are the ones just intended for the professionals
C. a folk song, always with a story, belongs to popular music
D. popular songs are used by the young to express themselves

Busy as I am every day, I always open my computer and check my email. Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercises, another form of piano practice without beautiful tones. Sometimes, however, I receive a gift, reminding me of the gifts in my life. The following passage is one of those gifts.
Peter Jones is a 92-year-old, short, calm and proud man. Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved even though hi is unable to see anything. He would move to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years old has recently passed away, making the move necessary.
After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he moved his walking stick skillfully to the elevator, the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room. “I love it,” he stated with enthusiasm. “Mr. Jones, you haven’t been the room,” said the nurse.
“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” he replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice: I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.”
Each day is a gift, and as long as we are alive. We’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories we’ve stored just as Mr. Jones does.
1.What do we know about Mr. Jones ?
A. He is a blind but very neat.
B. His wife died many years ago.
C. He likes playing the piano.
D. His room in the nursing home is big.
2.How did Mr. Jones feel about his room in the nursing home?
A. worried B. curious C. disappointed D. content
3.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A. the furniture B. the room C. a decision D. a gift
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Each Day is a Gift B. Be Always Grateful
C. Living in a nursing room D. Arrange Your Mind Every Day

You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you're not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (奖杯)?
If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She's a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.
“The trophy has to stand for something，” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.
Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.
“I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts.”
Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式)，” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”
There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.
1.According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?
A．Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.
B．David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.
C．Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.
D．Jim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.
2.Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?
A．There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.
B．Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.
C．Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.
D．It is necessary to encourage kids' participation in sports.
3.The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．
A．honour B．choose
C．value D．stress
4.Which shows the correct structure of the text?

It was the first snow of the winter---an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up to now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, Ontario, had been through best snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear the ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of the winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that it was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my feet. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They are on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
“They are my brother’s boots, you know, I hate them.”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She struggled with me. She asked “now, where are your mittens(手套)?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
1.The little girl was more satisfied with her __________.
A. trousers B. jackets C. boots D. hat
2.Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the little girl’s boots mainly because________.
A. the girl got them from her brother
B. the girl put something in them
C. they were on the wrong feet
D. they did not fit the girl well
3.Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
A. Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.
B. Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.
C. Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.
D. Because the little girl played a trick on her.
4.It can be inferred from the passage that Miss Finlayson _______________.
A. was losing confidence in the little girl
B. was gradually losing patience with the little girl
C. became disappointed with the little girl
D. got curious about the little girl
