How would you like to have been born without any ability to feel pain? There are such people. One of them is being studied by doctors at a hospital in New York City. He is a 22-year-old clerk who really does not know the meaning of pain. But he wishes he did.
Not long ago a packet of matches flared up(骤然烧起) in his hand. Luckily the burn was not serious. It caused large blisters(水泡) but still did not bother him. He said the burn felt like a fly crawling(在……上爬行) on his fingers. It has been the same story as far back as he can remember. He has never had headaches or sore(疼痛的) muscles. Bee stings, cuts and bruises(疼痛的) do not hurt.
Being free from pain is not as wonderful as you may think. The young man has had to have rotted teeth pulled because he never felt toothache warnings. A sudden attack of appendicitis(阑尾炎) could be deadly. Life without pain is as risky as trying to run a cruise ship without fire alarms.
1.In the final sentence, the writer uses “fire alarms” to mean ________.
A. loud noises that a person hears
B. a signal that something is wrong
C. heat warnings
D. the ability to smell smoke
2.The selection as a whole points to the fact that ________.
A. fire can cause serious injuries
B. life is happier without pain
C. teeth can be pulled painlessly
D. pain serves a useful purpose
3.The young man had to have teeth pulled because ________.
A. he did not know his teeth were decaying
B. he did not take care of his teeth properly
C. he did not like to visit the dentist
D. he was born with soft teeth

Think of the last time a song really moved you, or meant something to you．Listening to and playing music affects marry different sections of the brain, affecting us physically as well. Why are we as humans so connected to music?
Making music is something that we are born with. There's a reason we refer to music as the “universal language”；there has been no known human culture without music. Dancing and music came before agriculture, and possibly even before language．The fact that whale music and human music have so much in common suggests that music may exist before humans and that we may be latecomers to the musical scene rather than being the inventors of music．
We begin life being affected by music; babies first begin to respond to music even before their birth. Whether or not it's true, everyone has heard that playing classical music; for your baby supposedly helps him or her become smarter. A study done in the United Kingdom concluded that children were able to recognize and even preferred music that they had heard lip to three months before birth. Although it made no difference whether it was rock music or country music, the babies who were exposed to faster songs showed a stronger preference for that song than those who had heard something slower. Researchers have also found that the playing of soft background music or a mother's soft singing actually helps premature (早产的)babies. Those who were subjected to the music tended to gain weight faster and were able to leave hospitals earlier than those who weren't. However, the study in the UK uncovers no links between babies listening to music and increased intelligence or brain development.
Another experiment at the University of California at Irvine compared the puzzle-solving abilities of 3-year-olds who were given piano lessons with the ability of others who sang, used computers, or did nothing. The children studying piano were better at the puzzles. Also, high school students with a musical background seem to do better on their SATs. Whether it's natural intelligence that helps the children excel in both music and math, or the music that helps develop other areas, you can't deny the benefits of a musical background.
On the other hand, it's possible that some music and lyrics（歌词）could be hard for children and teenagers．The lyrics of today's popular music are stated more and more clearly. A study oil mass media and teenagers showed that a group of 14- to 16-year-olds in 10 different southeastern cities listened to music an average of 40 hours per week. Obviously, the music they are listening to plays a large part in their lives，and especially influences self-identity. So any bad influences in the music will have a very direct effect on the teenagers. Several other experiments mentioned in the American Academy of Pediatrics' policy statement on the "Effect of Music Lyrics and Music Videos on Children and Youth" supported this idea. One study from Sweden found that children who developed a preference to rock music were more likely to be influenced by their peers than by their parents. Others showed links between a predilection for heavy metal and detrimental behaviors, including taking drugs, self-killing risk, and other risk-taking habits. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) doesn't support the idea of censorship（检查制度）, but strongly encourages parents to monitor what their children are listening to.
1.Music is regarded as the “universal language” because ______.
A. music is important for human beings’ mental and physical health
B. music is played by people from all over the world
C. music is of great benefits to human language
D. music is present throughout the development of human culture
2.Which of the following proves a musical background benefits children a lot?
A. An experiment at the University of California.
B. A study done in the United kingdom.
C. A study on mass media and teenagers.
D. A study from Sweden.
3.According to Paragraph 3, what affects babies’ preference for songs?
A. The lyrics B. The tone C. The style D. The speed
4.The author mentioned several other experiments in the AAP’s policy statement to prove________.
A. parents should monitor what their children are listening to
B. music can have harmful effects on teenagers
C. teenagers are more likely to be affected by their friends
D. children shouldn’t be exposed to too much music
5.What will the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. More bad effects of music on teenagers’ daily habits.
B. Some experiments about music and teenagers.
C. Tips for parents on monitoring the music their children prefer.
D. Benefits of listening to a variety of music.

One of the most difficult things for children to deal with when moving to a new town is leaving their friends and making new ones.
We once moved and one of our new neighbors told us about a summer camp at the Recreation Center all the kids went to. My husband and I looked into it and we found it was unbelievably cheap. I had the kids sign up (报名) the next day so that they could know more kids there.
Another thing we did was to have them sign up for sports when school started. They were happy to be on teams with new friends they made. This also gave me a chance to meet new people and from them I sometimes got some useful ideas for my new books.
If you’re just moving to a new house in the same city you live in now, it won’t really be a problem unless your kids are changing schools. If they are, it is a great idea to have them take the address book to school. Thus, your children won’t feel “lost” without their old friends.
If you’re able to, over the summer vacation, try inviting the friend your child misses most to come and visit your new home for a week, or even a few weeks. I know this can be difficult if that child has to fly, but maybe you can work out a plan with the child’s parents. Think how happy the kids will be when they meet!
1. The author had her kids sign up for the summer camp mainly because _____.
A. she could afford the cost B. she was asked to do so by her kids
C. it could give her kids a chance to meet more kids
D. it could make the summer holiday not so boring
2.What is probably the author?
A. A housewife. B. A business woman. C. A teacher. D. A writer.
3.What we can’t learn from the passage is that ____.
A. a summer camp at the Recreation Center was very cheap
B. having the kids take part in sports is good for both the author and her kids
C. parents should ask their children not to think of their old friends
D. parents should create more chances for children to make new friends
4.The purpose of the passage is to teach parents how to ______ when they move to a new place.
A. get used to the new life in a short time
B. help their children make new friends and keep the old ones
C. get along with their new neighbors
D. help their children get used to the new school life

I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.
In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved anywhere else.
1.Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?
A．Because they were born there. B．Because it was a better educational town.
C．Because the writer began his fifth grade. D．Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.
2.How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?
A．About 80. B．About 160. C．About 220. D．About 300.
3.What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．None of. B．The whole of C．A large number of D．A small number of
4.Why can’t the writer forget Edison?
A．Because he regards it as his hometown. B．Because his parents got new jobs there.
C．Because there are many Asians there. D．Because it is in the state of New Jersey.

If you move to a new school, you’ll have to worry whether or not you’ll make friends. Here are some simple suggestions which help you make new friends a lot easier.
Try speaking to the people next to you in class. As they’re close by, it makes sense to communicate with them first.
Have courage to speak to everyone in your class. You will probably stay with that class through your years at the new school, so it helps if you get on with them.

Join a lunchtime or after-school club. You’ll get to meet kids of all years that way.
Ask your teacher to pair you with another pupil.

As you grow older, it’s natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you grow apart from your old friends. So try and make time for all your friends. Why not introduce your different sets of friends so you can all go to the cinema or bowling together?
But what if a friendship group is pushing you out? If this is happening to you, try and ask someone you’re friendly with what is happening. If the whole group is leaving you out, try to find new people to spend time with at lunchtime.

If you want to live longer and lower the risk of heart disease, a move to the mountains may help. Research by scientists in Greece shows that living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity(长寿). People living at higher altitude(海拔) have lower possibility of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors that could increase their risk. "Residence in mountainous areas seems to have a ‘protective effect’ from heart disease," said Dr Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens. He and his colleagues suspect that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous area gives the heart a good workout and enables it to cope with lower levels of oxygen.
Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years. One village was 1,000 meters above sea level and the other two were in low-lying areas. Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other villages, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a fifteen year follow-up." The contrast was more evident among men than among women," Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Heart disease is one of the world's top killers. Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol levels, being overweight and a family history of the illness increase the possibility of developing the disease.
1.The first sentence in the passage is used to ________.
A. give a very good guessing
B. tell readers what the passage focuses on
C. warn people of the risk of heart disease
D. name a new unknown illness
2.According to the passage, a person ________ may have less possibility of having heart attack.
A. from higher altitude
B. with a better living habit
C. with more money
D. in a happier mood
3.How long does the research of the Greeks last?
A. At most 10 years. B. Not mentioned.
C. More than 20 years. D. About 15 years.
4.Apart from altitude, how many factors raise the chance of developing heart disease?
A. three B. four C. five D. six
