    “Without music, life would be a mistake, ” famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets.

    For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.

    However, learning music is beneficial in many ways.

    When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

    Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

    1.In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to?

    A.Public schools. B.Fired teachers.

    C.Parents in Chicago. D.Students in Chicago.

    2.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?

    A.Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.

    B.Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.

    C.Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.

    D.Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.

    3.How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?

    A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.

    4.What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?

    A.Music is as simple as it looks. B.Music is a big part of our lives.

    C.Music classes should be cut in some schools. D.Music isn't a very important life skill for us.

    Chinese buyers used to like foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case.

    Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider(商业内幕) during a recent interview on CCTV9.

    But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.

    "When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. "But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference."

    The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where Western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse（瑞士信贷）published(发表) in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias（偏爱）” .

    More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance（设备） brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.

    "Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better.

    Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ' Made in China' is not bad at all," Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.

    The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37%from a 2015 high of 54%.

    1.The underlined word “share” in the passage means________ in Chinese.

    A.分享 B.份额 C.分担

    2.William Li found a big difference between ________ in 1997.

    A.China andAmerica B.China and Europe C.America and Europe

    3.Who did most of the research for this report?

    A.Credit Suisse.

    B.South China Morning Post.

    C.Business Insider.

    4.Which of the following is true?

    A.More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.

    B.Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products any more.

    C.More and more Chinese people prefer Chinese products.

    5.What's the best title for this passage?

    A.Chinese products get more popular at home.

    B.Young Chinese are crazy for foreign brands.

    C."Made in China" is welcomed all over the world.

    "Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?" Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.

    As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.

    In 1850s. Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.

    He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith ( 信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.

    So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs-the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.

    Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their

    families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.

    The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy's life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.

    Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many

    people all over the world.
