a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer (作曲家) begins,
how he manages to keep going-in fact, how and when he learns his trade-all are covered in complete darkness.
The composer, in short, is a man of mystery (神秘).
One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration (灵感) plays in a
composer"s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question.
Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer
happens to have been born for.
The composer, therefore, does not say to himself:"Do I feel inspired?" He says to himself:"Do I feel like
working today?" And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself:"Do I feel sleepy?"
If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don"t feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn"t feel like
working, he doesn"t work. It"s as simple as that.
B. Practice makes good music
C. Relation between sleeping and music
D. Music: product of nature
B. without any light
C. black in color
D. not known
B. considers it important to have a good rest
C. should like to talk about inspiration
D. never asks himself very simple questions
B. are people full of mystery
C. work late at night for their music
D. know a lot about eating and sleeping

举一反三
When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents-to
some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply
amazing. It"s not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread.
Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though
we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept--that"s why I feel so sorry
every time I have to throw any food away-even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would
blame me for this anymore!
Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore
enjoying everything more. It"s widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first
place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals
together--extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得)! You can share other members" troubles and
successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life
aimlessly. Furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time!
In Poland, a wedding, Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house
get together and cook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extremely good or unusual food
will be remembered and widely talked about.
You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What"s more, almost everyone in Poland
will be as interested in the topic as I am.
B. began to realize the importance of food
C. thought that cutting bread was amazing
D. learned people hardly baked their own bread
B. his/her parents would blame him/her
C. some customs still have effect on him/her
D. many people are still working hard as farmers
B. the whole family often have meals together nowadays
C. it"s common for women to get together to cook for a few days
D. family members can know more about each other by having meals together
the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.
● Do the map reading if you"re being driven somewhere. It"ll be easier if you keep turning the map so
it follows the direction you" re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of
warning before having to make a turn, or you"ll have to move to the back seat.
● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You"ll need a good map, a compass (指南针), a
raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金).
Tell someone where you"re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back.
The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower
friends to catch up.
● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass
to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B
(and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it"s not only good fun,
but a great way to keep fit.
B. look ahead to see where there"s a turn
C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable
D. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to
B. To be saved in case of an accident.
C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.
D. To tell him/her what"s going on with the group members.
B. help people stay healthy
C. help people organize other activities
D. make people get prepared for sports
how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term,
and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because
they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term, They will also experience
fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best.
If they associate you with this emotion of fear. They will become less functional around you, and you will
have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot. but possibly making a very good employee or
partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.
The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use
of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ
them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own
motivation (积极性). Today"s work place is all about relationships.
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human
being as well as a worker.. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand
the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work
life of most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional
intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your
emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people
around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
B. be cannot work at his best
C. he feels his brain shut down
D. he thinks of his work as too heavy
B. Working conditions affect people"s physical health
C. Good relationship is the key to business success
D. Smart people are more functional in the work place.
B. develop his own personality
C. five his employees a pay raise
D. hide his own emotion of fear
B. help raise employee"s living standards
C. give employees specific instructions
D. deal wisely with employees’ emotions
on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods,
all at very good prices. You can get things you won"t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about
them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you
are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.
The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity"s appeal to aid postwar Greece
had been so successful it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell
some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My
favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children"s books, all 10 or
20 pence each.
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets
paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of
unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don"t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things
in when the shop is open.
The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than £110
million a year, funding (资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and
disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very
good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.
B. its great variety of goods
C. its spirit of goodwill
D. its nice shopping environment
B. deal with unwanted things
C. raise money for patients
D. help a foreign country
B. The staff are usually well paid.
C. 90% of the donations are second-hand.
D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.
A. What to Buy a Charity Shops.
B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.
C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.
D. The Public"s Concern about Charity Shops.
experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place
in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is
passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it"s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday
communication with friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told
even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor (谣言).
Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn"t
show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn,
whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down
the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically,
the original message has changed.
That"s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes
the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a
story, trying to improve on it, stamping (打上标记) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it
think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be
re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,
unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to
challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.
B. solving a math problem
C. visiting an exhibition
D. doing scientific reasoning
B. knowledge
C. communication
D. passive learning
B. a message should be delivered in different ways
C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
B. Passive learning may not be reliable.
C. Active learning occurs more frequently.
D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.
