Some countries have a large number of earthquakes. Japan is one of them, while others do not have many, for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake.　 The ground vibrates (颤动).Houses fall down. Railways are broken, which causes trains to turn over. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy. Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山), but it is not true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.

A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986.The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute. Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air. What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake? The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906) and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土) walls together by steel frames. Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily.

1.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Trains' turning over is directly caused by the earthquakes.

B. Some earthquakes have their centers under the sea.

C. It isn't certain that earthquakes happen near volcanoes.

D. Buildings with concrete walls are better against earth quakes.

2.Earthquakes often happen　　　　 .

A. near volcanoes　　　　　　　　 B. Both A and D

C. in Britain　　　　　　　　　　 D. in Japan

3.___________ make(s) more loss than the earthquake itself.

A. Nothing

B. Volcanoes

C. Forces inside the earth

D. Terrible waves by the earthquake

4.When an earthquake happens, ____________can be heard.

A. trains　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. thousands of people

C. a great noise　　　　　　 D. the powerful forces

Many young people would like to make a booth（货摊）to do business on the street in the name of entrepreneurship（创业精神）and sell lemon. It might seem like an easy sell-kids offering cool drinks. Some entrepreneurs offer their tips on how to make money from this.

Joe Mansueto, founder of the investment company Morningstar, sold lemonade as a kid. "You should always pay attention to customers," he said. "When somebody's walking down the street, get out from behind the booth, greet them, talk to them and just make friends with them to attract more customers."

However, his two sons decided to sell a different drink. When they were 8 and 10, his boys sold cocoa outside their home. The great thing about business is that there are really no rules. You can be creative and try something different, Mansueto said.

But it wasn't enough for US representative Mike Quigley and his older brother to sell drinks. They sold old books at the booth and would rent them out for customers to read while they enjoyed their drinks.

Adam Ochstein, founder of StratEx Partners, a human resources service company, gave frequent visitors cards which were printed with a lemon. Every five drinks, customers got one card which allowed them to pay less than half of the next drink. However, they didn't price the drinks. "If you want to give nothing, give nothing. If you want to give $2, give $2. I think we had let the adults give more money than they probably would like to, "Today, he suggests kids use social media for marketing. He said, "It can tell people where the booth is going to be and what unique specials you're running."

1.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. How to set up a big company.

B. How to attract more customers.

C. How to make friends with others.

D. How to tell apart rich customers.

2.How did Mike Quigley make his booth different from the others?

A. By selling cocoa outside their home.

B. By renting used books to the customers.

C. By making friends with his customers.

D. By lending new books to his customers.

3.What advice about the booth does Ochstein give to kids?

A. Giving visitors free drinks

B. Giving visitors cards with a lemon

C. Taking advantage of social media

D. Allowing customers to pay less money

4.What is the best title for the text?

A large number of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps creativity.

However, an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that opinion. Psychologists from Lancaster University, The University of Gävle, and The University of Central Lancashire say that their findings show music actually blocks creativity.

To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants(参与者) complete verbal insight problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music “badly affected” the participants’ ability to complete tasks related to verbal creativity.

The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word related to all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc).

Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music; music with unfamiliar words, instrumental music, or music with familiar words. “We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.

To conclude, the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity, and instead prove that music consistently disrupts creative performance in dealing with problems.

1.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.A new idea about music while working. B.Music encourages creativity while working.

C.Music does harm to creativity while working. D.We’d better not listen to music while working.

2.The underlined word “block” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “________”

A.lift B.strengthen C.raise D.limit

3.How did the researchers get the conclusion according to the paragraph 5?

A.By comparing. B.By following time order. C.By analyzing causes and effects.　　　　　　　　　 D.By presenting the process.

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.While working, we can listen to some familiar music.

B.Music has no effect on our creativity while working.

C.To improve our creativity, we should choose to work in quiet background conditions.

D.Music does more good than harm to our health.
