Public schools in Washington, D．C．provide students with musical instruments for free．When something goes wrong with an instrument, Charles West and Larry Jernigan do the repairs．Both men approach their work with a passion（激情）．For them, it’s important that students have a joyful experience with music．
The two have worked together for almost 20 years．This year alone, they’ve fixed about 450 instruments．Both men are musicians and music lovers, so learning to do repairs came naturally．
“I have been a musician all my life．” says West．“I played in an orchestra here in the city．I majored in music in college．I played in an army band．”
Jernigan’s musical interests are varied．“I was formerly trained in the piano and guitar．The alto sax, and the flute, I picked up while working here．”
In addition to fixing instruments, the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to make minor repairs on their own．
West believes if children start early and stay involved with music, it enriches other areas of their lives．“I see that in other kids．I see it in myself．I have seen it hundreds of times and it works,” he says．“They learn teamwork．They learn patience and respect．”
But West has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age．
“This instant age has taken away from the sit-down, the patience．And to learn to play an instrument, it takes patience, it takes diligence, it takes time．”
Being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job．Both men agree their best rewards are the students’ performances．
41．What’s the job of West and Jernigan at school?
A．Teaching music．
B．Writing music．

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour（跑酷）．
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring．But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way．It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide．
Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body．Parkour is considered an extreme sport．As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop．
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that．
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy（理念） behind parkour．This is the same as life．You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully．A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything．”
Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom．It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world．It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence．
46．Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ．
A．its founder, David Belle B．the film, Casino Royale

50．Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?

Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops．New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize．
Kristy vanMarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants（婴儿）are able to quantify substances（物质）—like sand or water—as early as 10 months．As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount, especially when it comes to food．
With the assistance of her team researchers, vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups: one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount．Consistently, the babies chose the larger amount．
“Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however, infants don’t seem to count things like water or sand,” vanMarle said．“What we’re saying is that they can quantify substances; it’s just much harder．The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories．They decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one．”
This information further refutes（驳斥）the long-held idea that babies “know nothing of the world,” vanMarle said．
“Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures, we’ve discovered a lot of early abilities．I think for parents, it should be exciting to know that there’s somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world, and that knowledge is guiding their development,” vanMarle said．
In the future, vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child’s progress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase those abilities, such as “Baby Einstein,” still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study．

A．choose between different substances
B．get much knowledge of the world
C．describe the quantity of something
D．obtain math-related skills

A．The process of doing research．

C．The final choice of infants．
D．The observation of infants’ behavior．
53．Babies choose the larger amount of food ．
A．by saying numbers B．with the help of parents
C．on personal preference D．through their natural abilities
54．We can learn from the text that ．
A．some parents don’t care about their kids
B．people used to think the world is known to babies
C．little research has been done on infants
D．scholars disagree on baby-training programs

The website FarmersOnly．com calls itself an online dating and friendship finder．The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio．He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer．Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers．
As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date．But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning．
So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website．“You don’t have to be a farmer to be on FarmersOnly．com, but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s Heartland．”
You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site．Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year．As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members．Many of them are farmers in the United States．Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture．Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website．
Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles
