Ukuleles(尤克里里)look like small guitars, but unlike guitars, they usually only have four strings. Ukuleles come from Hawaii(夏威夷)and make bright, happy sounds. They make people think of island vacations and summer days. Even though ukuleles come from Hawaii, they are now popular around the world. One of the reasons is because they are fun and easy to play.
Playing a ukulele may be easy, but making one is not. Ukuleles must be made step by step. First the head and neck are glued to the body. As soon as the glue is dry, the fingerboard is glued onto the neck. Once(一旦)that is dry, the ukulele maker sands the fingerboard to make it smooth.
Next, the bridge is glued onto the body. The bridge holds the strings and allows them to make sounds. After the bridge is in place, the ukulele can be painted and decorated. The next step is to connect tuning heads to the top of the ukulele. Then finally the strings are put on the instrument. Now a player can make music.
1．According to the article, what kind of music does a Ukulele make?
A．Sad music. B．Fun music. C．Difficult music. D．Unpopular music.
2．How is a Ukulele made according to the article?

know more about their baby-sitter than they do about her.

Molly employs(雇佣)around eighty people in her factory and warehouse， and ten others in her two new fashion stores， but her newest employee is the most important one for her. After years of worrying about her business more than her family， she has decided to make Sally Pamonte new general manager in her company.

What is Britpop? That’s a good question. The music is certainly very catchy. You can often recognize a Britpop song as soon as you hear it. Some of the biggest Britpop bands include Oasis, Blur, Suede and Pulp. However, bands like Oasis that are considered Britpop have more of a rock style (风格).
So how do we recognize the difference between Britpop and regular rock or pop? Well, Britpop mixes a number of different pop and rock styles with interesting lyrics and attitude. But it’s not just about the music. Britpop is also about fashion, art and politics (政治).
If you watch their music videos, you’ll see how fashionable Britpop singers are. Some of them hire famous artists to help them make more creative videos. English artist Damien Hurst, for example, produced some of Blur’s music videos.
As for politics, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has talked about how much he enjoys Britpop. Perhaps he was just trying to sound cool to win more votes (投票) from young people.
Britpop came and went in the 1990s. Britpop bands had some big hits at the time. Pulp’s most famous song is Common People. Blur’s Country House is about a wealthy man who lives a boring life in a big house in the countryside. Blur and Oasis were probably the most popular bands.
However, just like many fashion and art trends (潮流), Britpop didn’t stick around for long. By the end of the 1990s, Britpop was no longer fashionable. Fewer songs were produced and most Britpop bands broke up.
1．According to the story, what is Britpop?
A．The name of a British band. B．A type of music.

16、I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And agulfopened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. It was my letter.
“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”
1．The passage shows that __________.
A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B．Mother was too serious about her daughter in words
C．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words
2．The word “gulf” in the passage means __________.
A．deep understanding between the old and the young
B．different ideas between mother and daughter
C．free talks between mother and daughter
D．part of the sea going far in land
3．What’s best title of the passage?
A．My Letter to Mother B．Mother and Children
C．My Mother’s Desk D．Talks between Mother and me

17、Is Being Active Helpful for Better Grades?
For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn't always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.
Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains. In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.
In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally ‘difficult’ subjects, such as maths.
What does this mean for children who aren't active? Researchers think that if kids don't get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.
In the research experiment, a group of children s
