Whether you admit it or not, music improves our daily life and makes us feel easy, especially the music of Beethoven and Mozart. But can you believe that a school in England is using classical music to cut down students’ bad behavior?

The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby asks some students to stay behind after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical music. He also makes them copy his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos.

Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils causing trouble in class for students who want to study. He said the students staying behind were “not the smokers or drinkers, the truants (逃学生) or the people who are late for school…It’s those who have slowed the learning and teaching in class for everyone”. Mr. Walker said this was unacceptable, because it was making the rest of the students fail to focus their attention on their study.

Mr. Walker believes what he does reminds students that education is something to value. “It helps them see they are part of something bigger that will improve their life chances,” he said. The head teacher thinks students in fact learn from being kept behind after school. “Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don’t normally have and don’t want to have again, so it’s both educational and acts as a warning.”

Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behavior. In 2004, it reduced crime on London’s subway by 25 percent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop elephants’ bad behavior.

However, one West Park student called Kieran said, “An hour of Mr. Walker’s music is a real killer.”

【1】Mr. Walker asks his students to listen to music to _______________.

A. make them rest after a day’s study

B. punish them for their bad behavior

C. get them to love arts gradually

D. reduce their bad behavior

【2】A student who _____ may be left behind to listen to Mozart after class.

A. plays truant B. smokes in class

C. bothers others in class D. comes late for class

【3】Why does Mr. Walker say some students’ bad behavior is unacceptable?

A. Because the rest of the students hate them.

B. Because they are wasting their life.

C. Because they are disturbing teachers.

D. Because they have a bad influence on the other students.

【4】In the eyes of Mr. Walker, _____.

A. some students don’t realize education is valuable

B. all students can learn from music

C. music must be taught after class

D. students ought to love music

【5】It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _____.

A. the action Mr. Walker takes sometimes doesn’t really work as planned

【题目】How to overcome challenges in your life

We all face tough and difficult challenges in life. To overcome challenges you need to have that “never quit” attitude in life. If you develop it, you’ll overcome quite a bit.

Motivate yourself. Say “YES, I CAN.” The challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. Slow it down, and think that process through. 1 If you develop that mindset (心态), you’ll get it done.

2 Remain calm when you’re facing serious troubles and problems in life. You have to recollect yourself, and calm down. You can’t solve problems when you’re panicking. Take a deep breath, relax, and slow it down. Think things through calmly.

Let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. Everyone fails at times. If you fail the first, second, or third time, don’t give up. 3

Learn what made you fail and overcome these challenges.

Simplify the challenge you’re facing. Make the challenge easier than it is. 4 As you get through each step, you develop more confidence and you believe you can get it done, and then you will.

Stay positive and confident. 5You have to find out all the ways you can use to overcome it, and put them to full use with all your effort. It’s our own mental stability that’s the difficult part. When you do it mentally, you’ll actually be able to do it.

A. Stay calm and cool headed.

B. Think the best, not the worst.

C. Start by breaking it down into steps.

D. To overcome a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it.

E. Most people will avoid any challenge, because they’re scared of failing.

F. Develop that confidence in saying there’s no way you’re going to fail at this.

G. Pick yourself up, and learn from why you’ve failed, and move on in a positive direction.

【题目】阅读理解。

The Cuban iguana is a species of lizard(蜥蜴) of the iguana family. It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards. This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the Caribbean.

The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various grasses. However, Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crabs. The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident.

The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes, Puerto Rico. It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles. To avoid the attack from them, the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti(仙人掌).

In general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands. One of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by the over consuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build their nests. Although the wild population is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding(圈养)and other conservation programs.

【题文1】The underlined word "herbivorous" Paragraph 2 probably means .

A. dangerous B. gentle

C. plant-eating D. flesh-eating

【2】Why does the Cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti?

A. To keep itself cool. B. To get the food easily.

C. To stay away from people. D. To avoid crocodiles' attack.

【3】How many reasons are mentioned for the habitat destruction?

A. Two. B. Three.

C. Four. D. Five.

【4】What's the author's purpose of writing the text?

A. To give us a brief introduction to the Cuban iguana.

B. To show he is concerned about the Cuban iguana.

C. To explain reasons for the Cuban iguana's decline.

D. To draw people's attention to the endangered Cuban iguana.
