Forced to quit school in the third grade to take odd jobs, he kept the secret close to his chest, only telling his late wife. Henrys granddaughter, Marlisa, told第 4页共 12页reporters how he used tricks, like waiting for others to order at restaurants first, to avoid the issue.A family dispute in his nineties, she said, aroused his desire for education. “He signed a document he could not read about where he was going to live,”Marlisa said. Starting with his name, he eventually moved on to the ABCs and childrens books. He put them down since his wife fell ill. After the tragic loss of his wife, he went back to reading and began to log his life. He wrote about his familys voyage from Portugal to the US, how he went on to captain a boat, and his many journeys at sea.His life stories have bee so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks after the books release. One thousand more have been printed as requests for the book flood in as far as Germany. And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr. Henry about buying the rights to his life stories for a big screen adaptation.The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition. Meanwhile, the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henrys late-life efforts.“Everyone has a story, and it teaches that when youre down, never give up.” Marlisa said.23.

Everything es to him who waits.DMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.Im partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been played Mozart positions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to bee better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you bee good at one, then it is likely that you bee good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To bee better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures dont exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we dont hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ability. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldnt be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldnt be any connection between the two.Lets see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D” kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also central to both music and maths. Consider the opening of第 6页共 12页Mozarts EineKleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲). The second phrase is a clear answer to the first. The listener thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles like this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place.27. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”？ A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The interest people showed in it was unexpected. C. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective. D. The findings from it gave people wrong information.28. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that _. A. music and maths have something in monB. football and tennis are played in a similar way C. certain skills may be developed through practice D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields29. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _.A. language is less attractive to learnersB. mathematicians are good at music learningC. language seems more like maths than music doesD. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music30. What is the writers main purpose in the last paragraph? A. To prove how music finally differs from maths.B. To describe the mathematical processes musicians may have. C. To show how abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.D. To explain why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Fathers Day has been celebrated for over 100 years.
