【1】The air was pleasant and the music was loud in the vast square in front of the New York State office building in Harlem(哈莱姆， 美国纽约市黑人居住区) as health advocates（支持者，提倡者） set up information tables for Harlem wellness Week. It was a wide-ranging effort to educate people about non-communicable diseases: Heart disease, cancer, lung disease, obesity, and so on.
【2】There is an economic effect caused by these diseases, especially in Harlem, one of the city’s poorest districts. Without healthy employees and healthy customers, you cannot have healthy business, says Patricia Ricketts of the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors Wellness Week.
【3】Dr. Jo Ivy Boufford is president of the New York Academy of Medicine, a Wellness Week partner. She says education about better nutrition is important, but that people with low incomes often lack the means to put what they know into practice. But there is hope. New York is very active in adovating good, effective public health policies. “New York City has banned smoking in public places, both indoors and outdoors. That is a fantastic example of what can be done, without having any impact on the economy. It is a city where you have bike paths. That is a good message for the world, because bikes make your transport active. That is good for your health and lowers air pollution,” she said.
【4】“It is not enough to focus on the management of disease through medication,” Dr. Boufford says. “That’s why health advocates will be trying to persuade UN officials during Wellness Week to pass resolutions that deal with road and transport design and construction and other potential causes of non-communicable diseases.”

Pitt Crawley was astonished to receive such a pleasant letter from his brother Rawdon Crawley. Jane was delighted, and expected that her husband Pitt would immediately divide his aunt’s inheritance (遗产) into two equal parts and send one to his brother.
The brothers did not meet for some time, however. Since the death of Miss Crawley, Pitt and his wife had been living down at Queen’s Crawley with his father Sir Pitt Crawley.
In fact, when the black-aged invitation to the funeral (葬礼) arrived in Curzon Street, the reactions (反应) were very far from sad.
“We don’t have to go, do we, Becky?” Rawdon said. “Pitt bores me to death, and a carriage there and back will cost too much.”
“Of course we’re going, you silly man!” cried Becky, jumping up in delight. “Your brother is now Sir Pitt, and a Member of Parliament. I want Lady Jane to present me at court next year, and I want Sir Pitt to get you a position of some importance — the Governor of the West Indies, or something like that. We must order our black clothes for the funeral at once.”
“Litter Rawdy comes too, of course,” said her husband.
“Of course not! Why pay for a third seat in the carriage?”
It was a great moment when the two Crawley brothers met again at last. The new Sir Pitt shook his brother warmly by the hand, while Lady Jane took both Becky’s hands, and kissed her.
This mark of kindness brought tears to Becky’s eyes, which was a rare event. When Lady Jane took Becky to her room, Becky at once began work on earning her sister-in-law’s approval.
“What I should like to do first,” Becky said, in a soft little voice, “is to see your dear little children.”
This request pleased Lady Jane very much. She led Becky away to meet her daughter and son, aged four and two, and in no time at all, she and Becky were close friends.
“You must be so sad,” Lady Jane said sympathetically, “to have left your little boy in London.”
“Dear, dear Rawdy!” sighed Becky. “I miss him so much.”
It was fortunate that her husband did not hear this remark. He was very fond of his son. He saw Rawdy every day at home, brought him presents and toys and played with him whenever he could. His mother took no notice of the boy at all. When he cried at night, it was a servant who came and took him to her room to comfort him.
Rawdon and Becky spent several days at Queen’s Crawley, and it was time well spent. Lady Jane thought Becky was delightful, and Sir Pitt also approved of her. She had shown interest in his ambitions (抱负) for government, and made admiring comments on his political ideas, which he had found very agreeable.
Becky was glad to escape from playing the part of a dutiful sister-in-law — listening with interest to dull conversations, inspecting the fruit garden, visiting sick villagers with soup and encouragement.
Lord Steyne was one of Becky’s admirers in London. High-society women still ignored her, but the men crowded to Mrs Crawley’s little house, Many of them lost money at the card-tables to Colonel Crawley. Not Lord Steyne, however, who was no fool. Becky amused Lord Steyne. He admired her charm and her intelligence and her cunning, which he saw was equal to his own, and her artful lies gave him much entertainment. He laughed a great deal at Becky’s account of her time at Queen’s Crawley.
“I should like to see you visiting the sick,” he said, “and being polite to those dull relations of your husband’s.”
Lord Steyne laughed again. “You were bored to tears by them all. Come now, admit it, Mrs Crawley!”
Becky gave a wicked little smile.
1.Why did Becky do lots of things against her will at Queen’s Crawley?
A.To show concern for her relatives. B.To bring out her talents.
C.To win Jane’s and Pitt’s favor. D.To kill the boring time.
2.From the underlined sentence, we can conclude that ________.
A.Becky told a lie, which would surprise Rawdon
B.Becky worried this remark would annoy Rawdon
C.Rawdon, like Becky, missed their son Rawdy
D.Rawdon took no notice of the remark
3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.Becky was a devoted mother B.Lady Jane was kind and generous
C.Lord Steyne was worth relying on D.Rawdon was as intelligent as Becky
4.Lord Steyne admired Becky for ________.
a. her intelligence b. her charm c. kindness d. wicked smile
A.ac B.ab C.bc D.bd

Why do people listen to music? The answer may seem simple: Music is pleasant to make and to hear. But music touches our lives in many other ways, too.
Music changes our mood
My brother doesn’t choose music based on what he wants to hear. Instead, he decides what he wants to feel and picks music with that mood in mind. Upbeat, bright-sounding music generally makes people feel happy. But some people enjoy listening to sad music, too. It can be like talking with a friend who understands your suffering. But for some people, sad music can make them feel even sadder.
Music helps us get things done
Do you ever listen to music while you work? I do, and I find that it sometimes helps me concentrate, According to one expert, music can help you pay attention during boring or repeated tasks. But when you are doing tasks that require more thought, music can disturb you, making them harder.
My mom, a preschool teacher, uses music to manage her classroom. When she wants to call a child, instead of yelling the child's name, she sings it. This creates a more positive environment, while still getting the child’s attention.
Music brings people together
Music can also bring people closer to each other. This is especially true of music played live. Live music often features a group of people playing different instruments which makes it a shared experience. Listeners can share in the emotions the song expresses. They also create memories together.
And speaking of memories, lots of people connect music with specific places, people or events. Whenever they hear a certain song, they are transported back to some point in the past. Thus music can connect people not only to people who are present but also to people from their past.
Music is far more than just entertainment; it is a powerful force that affects us in many ways.

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not. “Face the music” is a good example.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the key and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.” But you do not listen. You want to show off and pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around the town. As a result, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music.” That could mean losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
The expression is more than 150 years old. In 1851, the writer James Fenimore Cooper explained “face the music” as theatrical term. In a theater, the orchestra(管弦乐队) often sits in the front of the stage facing the musicians. Many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright. “Face the music” came to mean accepting stage fright and not giving in to it.
Word experts also say “face the music” may have come from the military. A soldier who did something terrible could be forced out of the army. When that happened, the army drummers would play slow, sad beat. The soldier would be led away seated backward on a horse and facing the music of the drums.
There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music.” If someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the result.
1.What does the underlined part “the music” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The unpleasant music. B. The beautiful red sports car.
C. The music played by the orchestra. D. The bad result of your actions.
2.Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “fright” in meaning?
A. fear. B. violence.
C. cruelty. D. competition.
3.According to word experts, the term “face the music” may have come from _________.
A. sports B. the army
C. legal business D. artistic design
4.What is most likely to be discussed following the last paragraph?
A. The origin of “You made your bed. Now lie in it.”
B. Some other expressions similar to “face the music.”
C. The true meaning of “You made your bed. Now lie in it.”
D. Other examples to explain the meaning of “face the music.”
