    Scotland is a unique place, loaded with history, where you can find aristocratic（贵族的）palaces and castles, as well as the traditional parades in national costumes.

    In order to see and discover the true soul of Scotland today and what formed the character of this splendid region, we have to go towards the northern regions, to the Grampian Mountains（格兰扁山区）, beautiful and plain. The Scots conquered the environment with simple spades and strong arms, for it was difficult to farm.

    The history of this ancient struggle, and its people’s ancient love with the hard land, can be felt within the walls of the Angus Folk Museum. You are able to get a feel of the typical rural atmosphere of times past from the everyday artifacts displayed here.

    From coastal Aberdeen in towards the Grampian Mountains there runs the Castle Trail, a road that touches on many fortresses（堡垒）, which are witnesses of continual fights against the control of neighboring England in Scottish history.?

    Perhaps the most exciting moment for Scottish autonomy is the one experienced inside this ancient church of Arbroath, where, in 1320, the Declaration of Independence was celebrated, at the instigation（鼓动）of King Robert the Bruce. He carried out the plan for autonomy drawn up by the great popular hero William Wallace, for whom cinema has designed the wonderful film Brave Heart, the winner of the five Oscars.?

    This is Glamis Castle, where King Macbeth and Queen Elizabeth used to live. Among the most frequent guests here are the predictable ghosts, if not actually created, by ancient popular beliefs. These have been handed down over the centuries by people tending to live with mystery, with the forces of the supernatural.

    Another attraction here is a legendary monster: the Loch Ness Monster. Whether it’s real or imaginary, this monster, which has been nicknamed Nessie, has collected a good 3,000 sightings over the last 50 years.

    The true flag of Scotland, tartan, is recognizable from the brightly colored plaid patterns which are used to distinguish the various social groups.?

    Bagpipes and dancing open the competitions of local sporting events, which are called Highland Gatherings.

    1.Take a look at the Angus Folk Museum, and we can learn about _______.??????? .

    A. the love of ancient Scottish to the hard land

    B. the rural atmosphere in Grampian Mountains

    C. ancient Scottish people’s fighting against the enemy

    1685 was a very good year for German composers. Within the space of a month, two of the greatest were born: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel.

    Handel’s father was a barber and surgeon, which sounds like a strange combination today, but back then those occupations went hand in hand. Even though Handel was very interested in music, his father didn’t think that was a good way to earn a living, so he wanted his son to be a lawyer. The story goes that Handel smuggled a quiet piano into the house so that he could practice in secret.

    One day, Handel went along when his father went to shave a duke. While his father was working, Handel sat down and played the duke’s organ. The duke was so impressed that he convinced Handel’s father to let his son study music, and Handel finally got to learn how to compose.

    Handel soon discovered that what he liked most was opera. In fact, he was so passionate about opera that he even fought a duel (决斗) over it with one of his friends. Since Italy was the place to learn about opera composing, Handel went off to Italy to study. When he got home, he got a job as court composer for a German prince.

    Having landed such a wonderful job, Handel immediately asked his boss for time off. He wanted to go to England, where he’d heard that there weren’t nearly enough composers to satisfy the British taste for Italian opera.

    After great success writing opera in London, Handel came back to Germany. Then fate played a funny trick on Handel and his boss. The Queen of England died, and it just so happened that the prince Handel worked for was next in line to the British throne. When he arrived in London as King George, followed Handel, his court composer in Germany.

    In addition to serving the King, Handel became one of the most successful opera composers of his time. And he also produced them and traveled all over Europe to hire the best singers. There are stories of battles with rival opera producers and of fights between rival singers. Handel apparently had quite a temper.

    If you ever go to London, look for Handel’s grave in Westminster Abbey, where there’s a wonderful monument to him.

    1.How did Handel begin to learn to compose?

    A．His father was sure of his future success.

    B．His performance impressed a duke.

    C．He begged his father to send him to Italy.

    D．He practiced hard and taught himself music.

    2.What does the underlined word “smuggled” mean in the passage?

    A．bought secretly

    B．took secretly

    C．carried in advance

    D．possessed personally

    3. Why did Handel later settle down in Britain instead of Germany?

    A．Because he could find better jobs in London.

    B．Because he enjoyed greater fame in London.

    C．Because his boss became King of Britain and brought him along.

    D．Because London was a wonderful place to learn about opera.

    4.Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe Handel, as shown in the passage?

    A．bad-tempered

    B．talented

    C．enthusiastic

    D．optimistic

    5. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?

    A．Handel was born in the same year with Bach.

    B．Many people worked both as a barber and a surgeon.

    C．Handel quit his job to learn about opera in Italy.

    D．Handel was buried in London and was built a monument.
