In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
I knew where I wanted to go in life. I wanted to be a fashion designer. And on the way to my first small success I found the road blocked.
I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions. Then just 13days before the presentation the sewing girls were called out on strike. I found myself left with one tailor and woman who was in charge of the sewing room! I was as gloomy as my models and salesgirls. “We’ll never make it,” one of them cried.
Here, I thought, is the test of all tests for Father’s advice. Where is the way out this time? I wondered and worried. I was certain we would have to call off the presentation or show the clothes unfinished. Then it dawned on me. Why not show the clothes unfinished?
We worked hurriedly. And, exactly 13 days later, right on time, the Schiaparelli showing took place.
What a showing it was! Some coats had no sleeves; others had only one. Many of our clothes were still in an early stage. They were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth. But on these we pinned sketches and pieces of material. In this way we were able to show that what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished.
All in all, the showing was different. Our unusual showing caught the attention of the public, and orders for the clothes poured in.
Father’s wise words had guided me once again. There is more than one way to the square always.
45．The best title of the passage is .
A．A Wise Father B．A fashion Designer
C．More Than One Way to the Square. D．An Unexpected Fashion Presentation
46．What happened just before the presentation?
A．Clothes are lost B．Sewing girls refused to work for him
C．Workers went out on strike D．The author fell ill
47．The underlined sentence in the third paragraph indicates .
A．We felt excited B．We felt angry
C．We felt satisfied D．We felt unhappy
48．The presentation turned out .
A．a success B．a failure C．a shame D．a shock

Parents who spend time and money to teach their children music, take heart-a new Canadian study show young children who take music lessons have better memories than their nonmusical fellows.
“The research tells us that if you take music lessons your brain is getting wired up differently than if you don't take music lessons,” Laurel Trainor, professor of psychology, neuroscience and behavior at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, said.
“This is the first study to show that brain responses in young, musically trained and untrained children change differently over the course of a year,” said Trainor .
Over a year they took four measurements in two groups of children aged between four and six -- those taking music lessons and those taking no musical training outside school -- and found developmental changes over periods as short as four months.
The children completed a music test in which they were asked to discriminate between harmonies, rhythms and melodies, and a memory test in which they had to listen to a series of numbers, remember them and repeat them back.
Trainor said while previous studies have shown that older children given music lessons had greater improvements in IQ scores than children given drama lessons, this is the first study to identify these effects in brain-based measurements in young children.
She said it was not that surprising that children studying music improved in musical listening skills more than children not studying music.
57．The main idea of the passage is .
A．how children like music
B．whether music is good for adults
C．that children are wiser if they are taught music
D．how we leach music
58．The research is conducted on .
A．children under 6 B．children over 4
C．adults D．children between 4 and 6
59．The experiment is to prove
A．whether musically trained and untrained children change differently
B．which are wiser, older children or younger children.
C．which are wiser, children given music lessons or children given drama lessons.
D．whether children should have music lessons.
60．What were the student asked to do in the experiment?
A．The students only had a music test
B．The students told the differences between music lessons
C．The students had both a music lest and a memory test
D．The students were asked to sing some songs

What does Thanksgiving remind Americans of? Their families. Thanksgiving is a family time. On this holiday, families enjoy being together. What does “family” mean to Americans?
The traditional American family is a "nuclear family." A nuclear family refers to a husband and wife and their children. The average American family today has two or three children (and maybe a few pets). In some cultures, several generations may even live together. In America, only in a few cases does more than one household live under one roof.
Each family member can have a say. Instead of fearing Mom and Dad, children may think of them as good friends. Husbands and wives often share housework. In many cases, a child can enjoy privacy（隐私）in his or her own bedroom. From an early age, children can plan how to spend money. They may receive a weekly pocket money or even work part-time jobs. Often parents give children freedom to make their own decisions about what to wear or to buy or whom to marry.
The United Nations has declared 1994 the "International Year of the Family." Not just in America, but all over the world, people recognize the importance of strong families. And one more thing: be thankful for each other. If you have a family, every day should be Thanksgiving.
41．This passage is mainly about .
