11、 Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children? Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don't know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First, music is good for children's intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated(刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing(抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today's children are under a lot of stress from school work. Being under too much stress impairs children's health. Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children's moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don't take an interest in their surroundings. In such cases, a method known as "music therapy" comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
1.By mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1, the author wants to show _______.
A.why adults should listen to music
B.children should listen to music
C.listening to music is only good for adults
D.why scientists are interested in music
2.What does the underlined word "impairs" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Harms.
B. Changes.
C. Improves.
D. Shows.
3.The last but second paragraph shows that listening to music means _______.
A.learning languages better
B.understanding foreign cultures better
C.accepting the fast developing world easily
D.showing greater interest in other cultures
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Why do Children Love Music?
B.How to Choose Music for Children
C.How to Teach Children Music Easily
D.Why is Music Important to Children?
12、 Last night my husband and I were taking a post-dinner walk in a nearby parking lot, when we saw a man bent over on the ground, crushing(压碎) something with a rock. He was completely focused on his task and didn't look up at anyone passing by. We kept noticing him as we walked around the parking lot and talked between ourselves about what he might be doing. I thought he was breaking stones to make sand, but why would he do that?
Finally we decided to go up and speak to him. He was crushing pieces of leftover bread that he had collected from all his housemates to make food for the birds that came there every morning. The large pieces of bread would be difficult for the birds to eat so he crushed them into a fine powder.
He's been doing this every night, by himself, for the last 3—4 years. What moved us more was that he was surprised we were even taking an interest in this, since for him it wasn't a big deal. Every night, after reaching his single room from his job as a tailor, he goes around the villa(别墅) collecting leftover bread from all his housemates. He then eats a quick meal and comes here, and spends the next 1—2 hours, carefully crushing each piece and makes a pile for the birds, which he says will be gone by next evening. He also leaves fresh water and adds rice on top of the pile, which he buys every month from his wages.
When we asked him why he did this small and simple act of service, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just something small I do; so that the leftover bread doesn't go into the trash and the birds get food."
We shared his story with the hope that it might remind us to be as mindful of leftovers too and perhaps it might inspire someone to start something similar in their own area.
1.The man didn't notice the author and her husband because ________.
A.he didn't want to get to know them
B.he didn't like greeting the strangers
C.he fixed his energy on what he was doing
D.he liked seeing the people in the parking lot
2.Why did the man make the bread into pieces?
A.Because he wanted to attract others.
B.Because he liked making such bread.
C.Because the bread is too bad to eat.
D.Because the bread is too large for the birds to eat.
3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.An unusual experience of a tailor.
B.A surprising event and an imaginary person.
C.How the man found the birds coming here.
D.How the man collected and made food for the birds.
4.What can we learn from the man's story?
A.The man is an honest person.
B.The man is a kind and loving person.
C.The man is an interesting person.
D.The man is a special and determined person.

13答案及解析：
答案： Good morning, everyone.
I'm Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School. It's a great honor to be here and to share my views with you. The topic of my speech is "Let's Ride Bicycles".
As is known to all, with the improvement of people's living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams.
How can we solve these problems? As far as I'm concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don't need any petrol and they are energy-saving, and for another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won't give off any waste gas. What's more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health.
Therefore, let's take the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us!
Thank you!
