14、 A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement, Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical （古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to.
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker, argues that all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage （遗产）because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack （缺乏）of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist （专业的） music teachers.
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
"I'm not against pop music, but it's very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing, " Professor Walker says. "But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia's culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films. "
"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture. It's part of culture heritage," he says. "Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West. "
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief （首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum （课程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study , such as the Mendelssohn's.
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible, " he says.
1．What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion?
A．Children know nothing about their culture heritage.
B．Classical music education isn't valued in schools.
C．Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
D．Australian schools need more specialist music teachers.
2．According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is _____________ .
A．part of culture heritage B．good for their growing up
C．difficult to play and sing D．popular only in Asia
3．According to the passage, which one is different from the other three?
A．Haydn. B．Tchaikovsky. C．Mendelssohn. D．Elvis Presley.
4．Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker?
A．He worries about the music education in schools.
B．He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed.
C．He is well known in Western classical music teaching.
D．He has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia.
5．From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____________ .
A．music teachers should teach anything that they like
B．most children today are brought up by their music teachers
C．music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all
D．children's music education today depends on their teacher 's taste

15、I have come to realize that life is a long journey. Whether we choose to keep moving around, or we choose to stay in one place, we are on a journey. That journey is not an easy one because every day it makes us face new problems in new ways.
When I was a little boy, I always looked forward to the next trip or the next holiday. Maybe it is because we lived in a small and boring town. When I finished school, I kept moving. In the first year out of school, I travelled with a friend and we visited over 17 countries in Europe, working in different jobs as we went. After this, I started studying. I studied at three different universities and lived in five different towns. That was my life. There was always someone else to get to know. All this carried on for many years until I got married and had my own family. When you stay in the same place, with the same persons, you start a whole new journey.
Then you will stay in the same town, choosing one place to live and one job to remain in. There you are challenged to face life, doing things such as trying hard to get along well with your boss. You have to keep on at your job when you feel like giving it up and traveling again.
So rather than move around on different trips, you are on a new journey. This journey of staying still is just as important as all the travels in the world.
1．Why did the writer like moving around when he was a boy?
A．Because he liked being with friends.
B．Because he wanted to know about the world.
C．Because he lived in a boring and small town.
D．Because he didn’t love his family.
2．Which one is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer went to Europe alone when he left school.
B．The writer kept moving during his whole life.
C．After the writer got married, he tried different jobs.
D．The writer thinks staying still is as important as traveling around.
3．What is the best title?
A．Go traveling B．Life is a long journey
C．Stay still D．Travel makes you better

17、The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new information immediately*. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say "________"
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas * or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.
