A new study,published in Music Education Research,examined whether an extended music education had an impact on pupils’ experienced satisfaction with school.Nearly 1,000 pupils at ten Finnish schools with extended music classes and comparison classes participated in a survey that measured the quality of school life at Year 3 and Year 6.
According to the results,the differences between the extended music classes and the comparison classes were significant at Year 6.But there were no differences between the groups at Year 3.The most likely explanation is the amount of music lessons which was four hours per week for the extended music classes and one lesson per week for the normal classes.
Merely attending an extended education class at Year 3 did not cause differences in school satisfaction.To explore whether belonging to any extended education class would have the same benefits,some extended education classes that focus on visual arts and sports were recently included in the analysis.However,school satisfaction in these classes did not differ from that in the normal ones at Year 6.
“Singing in a choir and group performance are popular activities at extended music classes.Other studies have established that people find it very satisfying to synchronize(合拍) with one another.That increases connection within the group and may even make people like each other.Other objects in the school do not have as much training in synchronicity(同步,协调) and cooperation as music lessons,which could explain part of the phenomenon,” says doctoral student Pävi-Sisko Eerola,at the University of Jyväskylä,Finland.
A particular answer may be that girls usually tend to give more positive scores on satisfaction with school and they also make up the majority of pupils at extended music classes.However,the gender differences do not fully explain the observed results.In fact,it seems that extended music classes improve the quality of school life more for boys than for girls.
Maybe it’s impossible to adopt the Finnish music education system,but the benefits of having a few extra hours of art and self-expression via music every week are dramatic and necessary.
1.What did the new study find?
A.Elder kids are content with school when receiving more music lessons.
B.Extended music education is getting popular in many Finnish schools.
C.Primary pupils have different preference for the class arrangements.
D.Music education may have different functions in different grades.
2.What is the characteristic of those newly included education classes?
A.They pay more attention to kids’ feelings and emotions.
B.They stress visual appreciation and physical activity.
C.They are extended to the same length and frequency.
D.They are attended by both younger and elder kids.
3.What’s the benefit of extended music classes according to Eerola?
A.They can promote teamwork between students.
B.They can build a good teacher-student relationship.
C.They effectively practice students’ singing skill.
D.They will develop students’ interest in music.
4.Who will probably be most interested in the finding of the new study?
A.The researchers. B.Music teachers.
C.Finnish students. D.School administrators.

Arguster grew up on his family’s farm in a remote village.Planting cash crop—cotton,they were breaking even and had to make ends meet.In his childhood,there were nine kids at home.All the boys were in one room with two beds.Two slept at the head while two slept at the foot.Therefore,there was one thing about their feet—washing them before crowding onto the bed.
When there was a hole in Arguster’s jeans,his mother would put a patch on it.However,the hole kept going.It was the naughty kids,Arguster included,that took the jeans out,hung them on a line and shot them to put holes.Aware of that,however,Ben,the father,didn’t rebuke them,knowing it might be the only way to bring laughter to his kids.
Arguster’s first lesson in economics was taught by Ben.The childish kid had worked and made a little extra money.He couldn’t help admiring himself,“I make six dollars!Six dollars!Man!I’m on the top of the world!” With a great thrill,Arguster decided to go to the fair,where he played games,ate cotton candy...When asked by Ben how much he had spent,with his head down,Arguster replied,“Daddy,I spent it all...” Looking at his messy hair,Ben sighed,“Boy,you spent all your money and a haircut’s gone up to 75 cents.I’m afraid...” From then on,Arguster always kept enough money to get himself a haircut.
Ben taught his kids how to do the right thing and wanted them to do the right thing,which Ben tried to pass on to his kids,in his own way.Ben started a syrup mill.People in the community brought their cane and millet for Ben to grind up (磨碎) for syrup.When people paid with buckets of syrup,Ben refused.Arguster got confused,“Daddy,why don’t you let these people pay you?”
“Because we got enough syrup to last for a long time!Son,these people don’t have money to pay.That’s the only way they can pay.”
5.Why should the kids wash their feet before going to bed?
A.Because they turned dirty after playing on the farm.
B.Because they crowded on a small bed with feet close to others’ heads.
C.Because the beds were made of cotton which was easy to spot.
D.Because they had to make ends meet,making them seldom bathe.
6.What does the underlined word “rebuke” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Question. B.Oppose.
C.Amuse. D.Criticize.
7.What might happen to Arguster after he spent all the money he earned?
A.He worked and earned money again for his haircut.
B.He had his hair cut with the money Ben gave him.
C.He waited for the price of haircuts to decrease.
D.He borrowed money from his mother for his haircut.
8.What’s Ben’s attitude towards people in the community?
A.Strict. B.Casual.
C.Considerate. D.Mean.

A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office.After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match,she was torn apart by self-criticism.“I can’t stop beating myself up,” she told me.“I’m at peak fitness,and I practice hard.How is this happening?”
Many students I teach,like this athlete,believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go.When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish,they are crushed by self-blame.
We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort.But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular:a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.
Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mindset” research,which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance.But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students,it does not necessarily help everyone.
The cruel,messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail.Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way,we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they’re lazy,and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are.It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose,or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that makes an impact on the world,which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature.
The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard.But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it.It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.
9.Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to?
A.Those lacking courage to make self-criticism.
B.Those tired of working all night in the library.
C.Those believing hard work surely pays off.
D.Those overprotected by their parents in life.
10.What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A.Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids.
B.The result of the “mindset” research doesn’t apply to all cases.
C.Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids’ academic performance.
D.Whether praising kids’ effort over ability does good to kids depends.
11.According to the author,how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life?
A.By choosing where to go to college for them.
B.By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality.
C.By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard.
D.By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love.
12.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Students should not expect too much from their studies.
B.Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily.
C.Students should bear all the failures on their own.
D.Students are sure to succeed if they try their best.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。虽然Arguster的家里很贫困,但是他的父亲Ben依然以身作则地教育他们如何正确做事以及善待他人。
5.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“All the boys were in one room with two beds.Two slept at the head while two slept at the foot.Therefore,there was one thing about their feet—washing them before crowding onto the bed.”可知,男孩们都挤在一张床上,两个睡床头,两个睡床尾。即睡觉时脚要靠近别人的头,所以需要洗脚。
6.D 词义猜测题。根据下文“knowing it might be the only way to bring laughter to his kids”可知,知道这是孩子们感到快乐的唯一途径,所以他的父亲Ben并没有责备他们。由此推知,画线词rebuke的含义为“责备、批评”。

Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了家庭志愿服务带来的四个意想不到的好处:让家人感觉时间更充裕、促进成年人身体健康、对青少年产生终身积极影响、增加亲子时光。
1.B 此句为过渡句。根据本段首句“Are you looking for a way to bring your family together?”可知,此处所选择的选项需要与家庭共同做事有关系。前文以两个问句引出“家庭共同活动”的需求,后文直接切入 “志愿服务的好处”。B项 “(家庭)志愿服务或许正是你需要的”承上启下,将问题与解决方案衔接。
2.G 此句为细节句。该段主题为 “你会感觉时间更充裕”,G项 “志愿服务让你获得能力感,并激励你充分利用每一天” 解释了为何奉献时间反而让人产生时间变多的主观感受,与前文 “research has found” 的结论呼应。
3.E 此句为主旨句。后文提到 “55岁及以上志愿者记忆力更好、总体健康维持更久”,E 项 “对成年人而言,志愿服务能带来显著的身体健康益处” 概括了段落核心,且“adults”与下文研究对象匹配。
4.C 此句为小标题。该段聚焦青少年志愿服务的长期积极影响(如成绩提升、自信增强),C 项 “志愿服务对儿童和青少年有终身影响” 中的 “lifelong effect” 与段落中 “not just short-term” 形成呼应。
5.F 此句为细节句。前文强调家庭共同志愿服务“朝共同目标努力”,后文提到“每个人带来独特之处并以新的方式建立联系”。F项“你甚至可能发现孩子拥有你以前不知道的天赋”具体说明家庭互动中的意外收获,符合语境。
Ⅶ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。Johal做了一个实验。他给了一个流浪汉一些钱,并拍下了他的反应。流浪汉的善心令他感动。
1.D 根据下文中的“Johal the experiment”可知,Johal的视频以“社会实验”出名。故选D项。
2.A 根据下一段中的“In the video”可知,流浪汉的反应被拍摄了下来。故选A项。
3.B 根据下文中的“Minutes later,when the man wakes up”可知,一开始,那个无家可归的人正在“睡觉”。几分钟之后,他醒了过来。故选B项。
4.A 根据下文中的“he can go by without a blanket” 可知,流浪汉买了毯子。句意:这个人走到一家商店,提着一袋毯子出来,可能是为了面对寒冷的夜晚,然后回到他的长凳上。故选A项。
5.D 根据下文中“After he hangs up,the man asks if he’s okay”可知,Johal挂断电话后,流浪汉询问他情况。由此推知,在Johal讲电话的时候,流浪汉一直在注意倾听。故选D项。
6.C 根据下文中的“the girl needs the treatment”可知,女孩需要治疗,因此此处指要给孩子“买药”。故选C项。
7.B 结合下文中的“He returns after returning the items and offers the money to Johal”可知,素不相识的流浪汉将钱给了Johal,让他拿去给女儿治病。事情的发展是出乎意料的。故选B项。
8.A 结合下文可知,流浪汉带着购物袋去退毯子。因此,该处应指他拜托Johal照看他的包。watch for“密切注意”;pack up“整理,把……打包”;tie up“包扎,绑好”;look for“寻找”。故选A项。
9.C 根据下文中的“returning the items and offers the money to Johal”可知,流浪汉将刚买来的毛毯退了回去,把钱给了Johal。所以他回来的时候应该是“两手空空的”。hard-headed“精明冷静的”;heavy-footed“动作迟钝的”;empty-handed“空手的”;low-spirited“情绪低落的”。故选C项。
10.D 流浪汉和Johal素不相识,对彼此来说都是陌生人。故选D项。
11.B 句意:这名流浪汉的善良感动了Johal,他向流浪汉解释了这个实验,给了他500美元,流浪汉立刻不敢置信地哭了起来。故选B项。
12.A 流浪汉因为自己的善良得到了500美元。对他来说,这也是非常出乎意料的结局。故选A项。
13.C 很多人都不会想到一个流浪汉会这样做,所以这个实验的结果是令人难以置信的。故选C项。
14.D 结合流浪汉将钱给了Johal的行为可知,那些拥有更少的人往往给予他人的最多。故选D项。
15.B 流浪汉拥有一颗爱心、一颗善心。因此文章最后得出结论,英雄往往是那些拥有爱心的人。故选B项。
