5、 阅读理解
A
There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father’s Day. Mums have Mother’s Day. But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes , they do!
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.
There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. when an older person enters a room , everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.
Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.
In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement they take up hobbies , part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.
Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts in stores and restaurants.
But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
6. Why do some people have a bad memory?
A. Because they can't read or write.
B. Because their parents haven't a good memory.
C.Because they don’t make good use of their memory
D. Because they don't use their arms or legs for some time
7.What will happen if you do not use your arms or legs for some time?
A.they will become thin B.they will become weak
C.they begin to ache all over D. you can't use them any more
8. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Your memory needs chance for practice.
B. A good memory is inherited from parents.
C.Your memory works in the different ways as your arms or legs.
D.Don't learn to read and write if you want to have a good memory.
9. Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.
A.his own fault B. his parents' fault
C.his teachers' fault D.his friends' fault
10. What does the writer want to tell us?
A.How to read and write well.
B.How to have a good memory.
C. How to use our arms or legs better.
D.How to learn from the people who can't read or write.
C
Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes:__________11__________ Here, we look at two examples.
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. __________12__________ The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
__________13__________ Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. __________14_________ Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. __________15__________ Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.
A.Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.
B.In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.
C.It can even help sick people get better.
D.Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.
E.Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.

Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes:__________11__________ Here, we look at two examples.
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. __________12__________ The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
__________13__________ Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. __________14_________ Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. __________15__________ Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.
