James’s New Bicycle

He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 39 to hang around with people when you are the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 40 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 41 .
There was only one way to get money, and that was to 42 it. He would have to find a job. 43 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 44 on most things.

How I turned to be optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then.

How Room Design Affect Our Work and Feelings
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (经验的，实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.
Researchers show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to ,according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design &Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Reseachers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have very limited number of studies, so we’re almosts looking at the problem through a straw (吸管) ,” architect David Allison says, “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That’s what we’re
struggling with.”
64. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A. Light B. Ceiling C. Windows D. Furniture

A. the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelings
B. lower ceilings may help improve students’ creativity
C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed

A. the problem is not approached step by step
B. the researches so far have faults in themselves
C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D. research in this area in not enough to make generalized patterns
67. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
CP: Central Point P point Sp: Sub—point（次要点）C: Conclusion

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed merely entertainment, but certainly not an education priority ( 优 先 ) . This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from Rock music represents a lifestyle just as
surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that can not be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive ( 情 感 的 ) meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one can get it all.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

A. regard music as a way of entertainment

B. show music identifies a society
C. introduce American musical tradition

A. approach the world from different angles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C. express people’s feelings in different ways

Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made----changing it should be unnecessary.

A. national parks in England B. most parts in Scotland
