Entering a university is an important part of a person’s life. Today, many people go to study and train for a future job in subjects like law (法律), medicine or education. But the university is not a modern invention. It has a history that is over a thousand years.

The world’s oldest university, AL-Azhar, is in Cario, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque for religion (宗教寺院) in A.D.972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque. They read and talked about the subject of law. Around 988, leaders in the city of Cario decided to open up a school for higher learning and the University of AL-Azhar was founded.

At AL-Azhar, there were many university ‘firsts’. Different subjects were set up. The earliest ones taught at AL-Azhar were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers talked about a topic (题目), and there was no ‘right’ answer. Finally, famous teachers from around the world came to AL-Azhar to teach and do deep studies on the subjects they were interested in. At the university, people studied the past, but it was also a place for exchanging new ideas.

Over a thousand years later, AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world. Its library keeps more than 250,000 of the world’s oldest and most valuable (有价值的) books. Today, many of the world’s most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at AL-Azhar.

Self-respect is a very important part of a great life. Self-respect is a feeling of being happy about one’s characters, abilities and beliefs. If we are short of self-respect, we will be unsafe. Developing self-respect means developing self-confidence to deal with whatever life throws at us. The following are some ways we can improve our self-respect.

There is great social stress from parents, work and society to become a certain person and to achieve certain goals. A real self-respect is important that you believe in your own values and remember what is important to you. Other people think you should behave in a certain way, but it doesn’t mean they are right. Everyone needs to follow his or her own path. Even if others don’t respect your decision, it is important that you do.

Nobody likes criticism(批评). To keep a sense of self-respect, we need to learn how to deal with criticism. Don’t take criticism personally. Don’t get sad by the things other people say or do. Maybe it is completely untrue, so pay no attention to it. If there is some truth, we can use it to develop our characters. However, it is important not to take criticism too personally.

Jealousy(嫉妒) of other people’s success is a common way of losing our happiness and self-respect. Jealousy is simply envy of other people’s success. We feel unhappy when we cannot enjoy their success. The truth is that there will always be some people more successful than us. The method for lasting self-respect is to be happy with others’ success.

If you have no respect for others, how can you have self-respect? It isn’t right to feel better by putting others down. If we look for good qualities in other people, it is easier to remember the good qualities in ourselves.

Forgive others and yourself. Don’t live in the past, but move on from the past mistakes and difficult situations. If your mind is full of problems in the past, you will always feel ashamed and sad. Self-respect comes when we value our attitude towards life and other people.

Sometimes we work with the best of motives(动机) only to be disappointed by the result. It is the nature of life that things will not turn out as we hoped, but it is a mistake to link our sense of self-respect to the achievement of targets.

Adolescence（青春期）is a very important time in one's life. During the time, a person's character is being developed. Parents play the main roles in teenage life. What they say and do have a great effect on their children, and even decide the children's future. So parents need to pay attention to right education.

First parents should treat their children as grown-ups. In parents' eyes, no matter how old their children are, they always treat them as babies. So they will be easy to make every decision for the children. Then the children will be rebellious（叛逆的）and don't want to talk to their parents, because they think there is nothing in common between them.

Second, parents should encourage their children. As parents always treat their children as the babies, they will deny（否定）their children’s ideas all the time. It is wrong to do so, parents should encourage their children and lead them to have their own thinking. It is better to let the children realize their mistakes by themselves.

Teenagers' education is of great importance, and parents should do it in the right way.

根据上面短文的内容填空。

1.A person's____________ is being developed _____________ adolescence.

“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇)over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

1.Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.

A. students in the US weren’t interested in music B. they were too difficult to learn

C. there weren’t enough music teachers in the US D. the schools wanted to control budgets

2.In Paragraph 2,what does the underlined word “them” refer to(指代)?

A. Public schools. B. Fired teachers. C. Parents in Chicago. D. Students in Chicago.

3.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.

B. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.

C. Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.

D. Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.

4.How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

5.What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage?

A. Music is as simple as it looks. B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.

C. Music is a big part of our lives. D. Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.
