She was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what Id rather be doing.I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical positions, but I just didnt have a gift for it. Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me. With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned(皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (呆板的)pianist. After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music?” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didnt know what she meant. “Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you?” Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and shes picking flowers from the waters edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pashas dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!” The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, the princess horse sees her plight (困境) and races to the rivers edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. Luckily, they make it to the bank.” Pasha said. I played many pieces of music that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.1. By describing herself as a mechanical pianist, the author meant _. A. she could remember the notes in a short time B. she was playing the piano without emotion C. her fingers couldnt move freely D. it had been a long time since she played last time2. Which of the following can best describe Pasha? A. Creative. B. Honest. C. Humorous. D. Brave.3. Pashas magic of playing the piano lies in that she _.

My Favorite Piece of Music B Every year in America, high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures ones mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading prehension. But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. Thats an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young peoples handwriting lately? Or anyones for that matter, in this age of puter keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. Yet todays kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的字迹) of young people whove been typing on puters since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help ones score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And dont forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as puters go down when power goes out. Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your hand writing. Position the pen. You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb, then rest it near the first knuckle (指节) of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed. Evaluate your writing. Make changes to your letters till you like how they look. Take your time. Speed is bound to make your writing messy-looking. Practice. Practice it a lot; its not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.5. The underlined word “scribble” in Paragraph 2 probably means _. A. write quickly and roughly B. type simply and correctly C. paint clearly and neatly D. describe properly and well6. According to Paragraph 3, students with good handwriting skill _ . A. can pass the SAT B. can develop good characters C. can impress their classmates D. can get more job opportunities 7. Which of the following should you avoid when improving your handwriting? A. Practicing writing a lot. B. Writing as fast as you can. C. Relaxing your hand when holding the pen. D. Changing your letters till you like how they look.8. The text is to present the fact that_. A. writing seems to be very important in the SAT B. those who will go to college have to take the SAT C. students should practice handwriting more often D. kids dont know how to write in the puter ageC Paying a higher price than usual for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the annoyance of many a cinema-goers life. But there may be a benefit to doing so, as a study has found that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests. The research found that people who watched a movie in 3D improved cognitive (认知) skills, pared to those who watched it in 2D. The research was led by neuroscientist(神经学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6 in either standard format or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a section from the film. The test covered memory, reaction times and cognitive function and the results were pared later. According to the research, which was carried out in partnership with science group Thrill Laboratory, participants experienced a 23 percent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction times. Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain power in the future. “These findings are more significant than you might think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a noticeable decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can worsen future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study show that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline.” A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets that scanned brain activity and this too showed heightened (加强的) activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life- something Professor Brendan Walker from Thrill Laboratory agreed with. “As Professor Brendan Walkers test concluded, 3D films are more attractive and heighten the senses- this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan said.9. According to the research, people watching a movie in 3D _. A. have a good exercise for their brain B. lose their short memory of its plots C. are willing to pay a high price for tickets D. react the same way as those watching it in 2D10. What can be learned from the research?A. Watching 2D films limits brain function.B. 3D would be a contributing factor in improving brain power.C. The test was carried out after the whole film was viewed.D. The participants took the brain-training-style test once.11. Paragraph 8 is mainly about_.A . the application of 3D. B. the disadvantages of 2D films.C. the change in brain function. D. the significance of the study.12 .The text is most likely to appear in _.A. a sports newspaper B. a biology textbook C. a science magazine D. a film reviewDRegister in person, by phone 264-8833, or by mail.
