Perhaps Vincent van Gogh (1853 -1890) isn’t the most famous artist in the world, but his personal story is probably the most well-known. The paintings he created didn’t become famous until after he died.
Van Gogh was born to a rich family in the Netherlands (荷兰). He started his career working for an art dealer(艺术品商). But then he tried other things like teaching in England. He also tried to become a priest (牧师) but failed the exams.
Finally, he found something else to believe in when he lived in Belgium (比利时) — art. He returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing.
He was an important artist in a generation that challenged the Impressionist (印象派) style. Post-Impressionists, like Van Gogh, wanted to show the world as it felt to them, not always as it looked.
Van Gogh used different forms and colors to make his art more abstract. The way he used colors was especially impressive. In Wheatfield with Crows (1890), the colors are very intense (强烈的). Corn is yellow, grass is green, and crows (乌鸦) are black. But the colors are used in such a way that it looks better than a photograph.
Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s art wasn’t very popular while he was alive. He was poor and was thought to have mental problems, which led to his death. What had made him so sad? It could have been the troubles he faced working as an artist in a practical world.
1.Van Gogh did the following jobs EXCEPT _________.
A.be an art dealer B.be a teacher C.be a priest D.be an artist

Why is music an important subject that every child should study?
First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different types of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. We can choose the music to match our feelings. And second, music is fun. Everyone enjoys playing a drum and using their energy!
Scientists say that music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. -Music improves the ear-and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and pronounce them far better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at mathematics (Maths). This is not surprising, as music is mathematical, with notes (音符) in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a party. Older children who play in school bands and orchestras enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.
You need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult to persuade your child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit—for example, every day after school, but do not make the practice too long.
Parents should listen to their child playing and tell him or her that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a pleasant part of the day.
1.Which of the following is NOT for the children to learn music?
A.Music can help children to work with others.
B.Music is fun and it can make children happy.
C.Music can help children learn languages more easily.
D.Music can help children put notes in order more easily.
2.Parents should _____________ to help them learn to play musical instruments.
A.tell children to love music B.practise with their children
C.listen to their children playing D.make their children practise long
3.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Music helps learning B.Music gives pleasure
C.Music develops a habit D.Music helps the young

A teacher decided to have her class play a game. The teacher told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would “name” their potatoes after people they did not like. Therefore, the number of potatoes would be different depending on how many people each student disliked.
The next day, all the students brought their potatoes to school. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while the others had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with them everywhere they went for one week.
Several days passed by. Some of the students started to complain, as their potatoes began to rot (腐烂) and smell bad. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.
One week later, the game was over. The teacher asked, “How did you feel about carrying around your potatoes for a week?” The students complained once again. The teacher simply smiled and said, “This is what it’s like to carry hatred (仇恨) in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can’t stand carrying rotten potatoes for one week, can you imagine having hatred in your heart for a whole lifetime?”
It can be quite tiring to carry hatred in your heart for a whole lifetime. Please forgive(原谅) others and move on with your life. That’s our best choice.
根据短文内容判断正误 (正确写A, 错误写B)
1.The number of potatoes that students were asked to carry to school depended on the number of people they disliked.

Most high schools in the United States publish a yearbook once a year, usually in spring. It is a record of the school year—a “book of memories” for the students.
Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Then come the second year students. The last photos are the first-year students. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too.
The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of many activities. These are activities that students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design and take photos all year for the yearbook.
In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown” (a funny student), the “most likely to succeed” (a student who got the best grades), and the “best dressed” (a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards.
Students usually sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “We had a lot of fun,”or “I’ll never forget you.” They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.
1.When do American schools usually publish a yearbook?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
2.Whose photos can we see in a yearbook?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
3.Why is it important for senior students to sign each other’s yearbooks?
