That was a good habit, but the problem was that Jasmine liked to take really long baths. So one day Jasmines mom said to her, “We wont have stories anymore because you spend too much time bathing. We have no time to read the stories.” This made Jasmine a little sad, because she enjoyed the stories her mother read to her before she slept, but she enjoyed bath time more, so she gave up her story time. She still get out of the bathroom until her mom ordered her to. A few days later, Jasmines mom told her, “If you stay in the bathtub (浴缸) too long youre going to turn into a fish.” That didnt sound bad to Jasmine. She thought that turning into a fish would be great because being a fish could stay in the water all the time. One night Jasmine dreamed that she really became a fish. In her dream, she was playing in the bathtub like she always did when she suddenly became smaller and smaller until she turned into a little fish. Then Jasmines mom came in to tell her that it was time to go to bed, but she didnt see Jasmine. Jasmines mom was happy. So she began to drain (使流走，放掉) the water from the bathtub, and then began to clean the bathroom. As the water started going down, Jasmine got scared. She shouted, but her mom couldnt hear her.

While calming myself down with soft music, I started to recall what happened in the daytime and wrote it down. The accident that gave me much thought happened on my way to the gym after work. When I walked about half way, I saw that many people surrounded something on the roadside and they were worried and shocked. I joined them and found there was a man lying on the ground. I noticed that he was a young man around 30 years old. He looked so pale and very thin. From his dressing, I simply judged that he worked in the office. The hospital ambulance came over and some nurses did the regular check for him. A nurse said that there was nothing serious with him but his body was very weak, which should be caused by overwork and less exercise. Its a really sad thing for a young person to fall down in the street. A couple of days ago, I read a magazine mentioning that there is an increasing number of businessmen and white-collar workers with unhealthy bodies. Under huge pressure, they put all their time and energy to work and cant find enough time for a good meal or a good sleep, let alone exercise. But they forget that without health, work is equivalent to zero. As I realize how important it is to put the health matter ahead, I am willing to do more exercise. I know exercise can bring me enjoyment and health. I know without health, even a most successful career and a great amount of money will lose their meanings. When I got out of the gym, I felt that every cell in my body was refreshed and I was able to have more energy to write the words above. The feeling in sweat was wonderful!6. The best title for this passage is _.A. How Much Exercise We NeedB. What Kind of Exercise Is UsefulC. Exercise Leads to My Healthy LifeD. An Accident Gave Me Much Thought7.

The underlined word “equivalent” in the third paragraph means _.A. be not more than B. be equal toC. be different from D. be connected to10. After doing exercise in the gym, the author felt _.A. breathless B. painfulC. sick D. energetic(C)Guide to Stockholm University Library Our library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.

During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. Many of Gershwins songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way from jazz to country. In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him worldfamous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the wellknown musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works. George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirtynine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.16Many of Gershwins musical works were _Awritten about New Yorkers Bcomposed for Paul WhitemanCplayed mainly in the countryside Dperformed in various ways17What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?AIt attracted more people to theatres. BIt proved jazz could be serious music.CIt made Gershwin leader of the orchestra. DIt caused a debate among jazz musicians.18What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?AHe created one of his best works. BHe studied with Nadia Boulanger.CHe argued with French critics. DHe changed his music style.19What do we learn from the last paragraph?AMany of Gershwins works were lost. BThe death of Gershwin was widely reported.CA concert was held in memory of Gershwin. DBrain cancer research started after Gershwins death.20Which of the following best describes Gershwin?ATalented and productive. BSerious and boring.CPopular and unhappy.
