You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn’t turn it up too high.
Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.
It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

举一反三
Like all other mothers who have small children, I, too, have to steal time-from my own children at home and from the children who know me as their teacher-just to put a few words down on paper. Many times I’ve wanted to write for myself, for other women, for my parents, for my husband, and especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins. One reason that there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new baby is that there is seldom a moment to think of anything else but the baby’s needs.
With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with.
Before my twins were born, my days were long and I had nothing to write about. After the twins’ birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself facing not a pen and paper but milk bottles.
Some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 p.m., heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there is really no night. Each feeding lasts a long time. At 1:00 a.m., each of them would begin crying from hunger. At 4:00am, when I finally put them down, I felt exhausted.
Two years have passed since then and we’ve managed to live through it all. My days are still very full and even now there isn’t one evening when I put the twins down for the night that I don’t have a break. At last a little time for myself.
小题1:When did the writer have time but she didn’t feel like writing anything?
A.Before the birth of her twins.
B.When she faced bottles of milk.
C.After her friends visited her home.
D.When she had to think about the babies’ needs.
小题2:What does the writer mainly write about?
A.Her role as a wife. B.Her work as a writer.
C.Her experience as a mother. D.Her feeling as a woman.
小题3:Why did the writer say the night was just beginning (in the 4th paragraph)?
A.Because her friends left her house too late.
B.Because she started to take care of the twins even at night.
C.Because her babies often cried and she woke up.
D.Because she could not sleep till four in the morning.
小题4: This passage is probably from a(n) _________.
A.blog B.newspaper C.guidebook D.advertisement
小题5: What can we learn from the passage?
A.The writer was unhappy because of no time for writing.
B.The writer cared about her babies more than her own interests.
C.The writer hated to be a mother of twins.
D.The writer could steal a little time at night.

Dash of Hope
"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we’ve spent alive on earth.Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important.
Recently I   36  about a little girl named Hope.After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by   37  , nor happenstance, that she had been named "Hope".The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity  38  in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others 39   I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had.It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was   40  a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being   41  that she had a rare type of bone cancer.However, when she found out that more than 150   42  in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted (实现) , she unselfishly used her wish to   43  that those children have their wishes granted.She also asked tW it be done   44  January 16, 2011.Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her   45  request could not be granted as the funds (资金) were simply   46 .They calculated that they would need to raise more than one   47  dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring   49  to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually   50   as well.Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51   the story of this caring young girl who had   52  the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged.Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in  53  money to help make Hope’s dream come true.
Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only   54  , but spiritually and emotionally as well.At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the   55  was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars.Her wish had been granted!

To whom it may concern,
This letter describes the worst travel experience I have ever had.The problems we had were the result of poor management and thoughtless employees.Your airline should be ashamed of treating its  customers so poorly.
On January 5, we arrived in Denver from Houston and checked in for our next flight.It wasn’t long before the agent announced that our flight would be delayed because of a mechanical problem. The equipment was in Aspen, and they expected it to be repaired soon.
Soon shortly turned to much later, and during the delay, weather temporarily closed the Aspen airport.The weather cleared in Aspen and the plane took off very late for Denver.While it was in the air, the agent announced that the plane would be used for the next flight and that our flight was being cancelled.
This cancellation struck me as being unfair.There was a mad scramble (争先恐后) as the 50 or so passengers scheduled for our flight fought for seats on later flights.When the dust settled, we were wait-listed on the 9’-00 flight the next morning.We had to spend the night in the airport.
Coming home was no better.Because of a mechanical problem, it looked like we would miss our connection in Denver.The agent assured us they would hold the Newark flight for us.Needless to say, the flight to Houston taxied out as we pulled into the gate.Arrangements were made for us to take the next flight, so we sat in the airport for 5 hours.When we finally arrived in Houston, our skis were missing.As of this writing, the skis have not been found.
Nothing you can do will make us feel better about our flights.If you are a responsible business, however, you will do what you can to see that passengers in the future are treated better.
With great displeasure,
Phyllis Dooley

It is football time again.Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the next World Cup.Some Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement.
The game is popular at club level as well.Many fans go every week to support their teams, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result.They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored.Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other.
Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground.All too frequently, there is action in the stands, too.Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty , by wearing their team colors, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behavior.They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs.
There is much rivalry between supporters.Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise.Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul committed by a member of the other team.
When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control.Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting. However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground.In the worst cases, riot (暴乱)police have to be called in.
Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football.These football hooligans (流氓) really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them.They regard football not only as a sport, but as an excuse for trouble makings.Inevitably, their behavior spoils the reputation of the game.
小题1:The qualifying rounds are played to ______.
A.make the game more excitingB.attract soccer fans at club level
C.raise funds for the organizationD.select the teams for the next rounds
小题2:What do football fans hope to see?
A.A home game.B.A defensive game.
C.An exciting game.D.An evenly matched game.
小题3:Riot police are called in ______.
A.to stop lighting occurring outside the ground
B.to separate the opposing fans inside the ground
C.as a precaution against trouble inside the ground
D.as a precaution against lighting outside the ground
小题4:It is implied in the last paragraph that ______.
A.football has a poor reputation
B.football hooligans are crazy about the games
C.football fans enjoy spoiling games
D.football can be an excuse for troublemaking
