focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives. 24. What does the underlined “it” in Line 5 refer to?
A. The cerebral palsy with Syona. B. The saying on a classroom wall.
C. The standard for kids with special needs. D. The accurate measure of Syona’s abilities. 25. What can we learn about Chris Ulmer? A. He is Syona’s favorite teacher. B. He helps increase his students’ confidence. C. He uses videos to teach his students. D. He asks his students to help each other.

A guiding principle for master cellist Yo-Yo Ma is that “the intersection(交汇) of cultures is where new things

appear.” Certainly his biography is an intersection of cultures. He was born to Chinese parents in Paris, France; both his parents were musicians. When he was seven, his family moved to the United States. Gifted for his age, Ma attended Juilliard, the world famous music institute. He then chose to earn a liberal arts degree at Harvard rather than focusing only on music.
Even in his earliest performing years, Yo-Yo Ma had a strong belief that it was important to share music with
all kinds of people. Stories are told about how he once performed in the hallway of a large building for people who were unable to get tickets to his concert. He remained interested in making music accessible to diverse audiences and furthered his interest in different cultures when he visited the Bushmen of the Kalahari. He developed a vehicle to further these ideals when he founded the Silk Road Project.
As he has said, the Silk Road is a metaphor(隐喻) for a number of things: as the Internet of ancient times,
the routes were used for trade, by religious people, adventurers, scientists, storytellers. Everything from algebra to Islam moved along the Silk Road. It’s the local-global thing. In the cultural world, you want to make sure that voices don’t get lost, that rich traditions continue to live, without becoming common.
This lesson explores the philosophy behind Yo-Yo Ma’s founding of the Silk Road Ensemble(乐团), his belief
that the arts, and particularly music, can make the world better, and that through cooperation, one can both preserve tradition and shape cultural evolution. Students also explore their own attitudes toward the arts, writing reflective essays on how the arts have played a role in their own lives. 28.What do we learn about Yo-Yo Ma according to Paragraph 1?
A. He studied music in France B. He started his career in Harvard C. He showed great musical talent
D. He earned a liberal arts degree in Julliard
29.Which of the following can best replace the word “vehicle” in Paragraph 2?
A. Car
B. Medium
C. Skill
D. Project
30.What does Yo-Yo Ma think of the Silk Road?
A. The route is key to musical development B. It has significant influence on the world
C. It simply helps with the spread of religions
D. Traditions are passed on through the route
31.Why did Yo-Yo Ma found the Silk Road Ensemble?
第页
A. To foster cooperation in business B. To record the voices along the route C. To explore people’s attitude toward the arts

D. To share music and promote cultural development

Halloween is a holiday full of tricks and treats and all things frightening and fun. But what happens when you trade your sweets for a scare? The result is always healthier than candy.
Being frightened can be good for you. Think about your favorite scary books or movies. You are scared but you just can’t resist reading or watching them. Being frightened makes your brain flood with healthy chemical substances that excite your mood and release feelings of great excitement.
When you’re frightened, your body also produces a chemical called oxytocin, which helps people bond with one another. So, if you’re at a haunted(闹鬼的) house with some pals, that experience can help solidify your
friendship. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” says Dr. Margee Kerr, a sociologist who studies fear.
There is also some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play can make us fearful and anxious. But these experiences help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you’re better able to work through it during tense situations,” Kerr explains.
Though some haunting may be healthy, it’s important to remember that people experience fear in different ways. What may be fun for one person could be too scary for another. And Kerr notes that kids younger than six and or seven can’t separate real and make-believe, so seeing something frightening could have lasting, negative effects.
32.Why does the author mention “Halloween” in Paragraph 1? A.To make a suggestion. C. To offer an instruction.
B. To introduce a topic. D. To present a report.
33.What does the underlined words “high fives” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Putting hands up to give in. B. Waving hands to say goodbye.
C. Hitting palms together to show happiness. D. Folding palms together to express thanks.
