　　The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen．What do you hear? 　　1　　 It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same．That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy．Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway．

　　Quiet background music used to be called “elevator music” because we often heard it in elevators．But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”．About one－third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day．The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between．It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired．　　2　　

　　If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs．Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak but others are happy when their songs are chosen．Why?　　3　　

　　Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel．It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do．Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background．　　4　　．Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries．

　　　　5　　．They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time．But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places．They say it helps them relax and feel calm．One way or another, Muzak affects everyone．Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak．

A．Some people don't like Muzak．

B．The music gives them extra energy．

C．Music is playing in the background．

D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more．

　　Can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa．　　1　　 We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways－and with different motives．

　　　　2　　 A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife．It also joins two families, which benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy．Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age．Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry．

　　Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals(仪式)．　　3　　 In a typical Western wedding, the bride(新娘)seeks good luck by wearing "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue．" Something old represents the past．Something new represents success in the future．Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family．　　4　　

　　In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical．The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing．The money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life．In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home．Once they move in, they take good care of the tree, making it grow and blossom(开花)．The planting of the tree is a good metaphor(隐喻)for marriage．　　5　　

A．Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple．

B．A truly good marriage is something that grows with care．

C．In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children．

　　How to manage your time

　　It is very important to manage your time wisely．As you get older, you will have more responsibilities．You will find it easier to succeed if you learn to manage your time well．

　　　　1　　．

　　Write down major due dates on your calendar for the semester．Estimate how long it will take to do each project．Allow yourself more time than you think you will really need．Make a master schedule which should include the following activities：

　　－all required school activities

　　－work schedule

　　－after school activities

　　－blank spaces for unknown activities

　　A master schedule can help you keep track of all the things that you need to do．If you know what you have to do and when you need to do it, you can prepare better to finish it on time．

　　　　2　　．

　　Plan when to do all your tasks for the week．Schedule time to study for tests, read your textbooks, write papers, go to work, be at meetings．Leave enough time for your household duties．

　　　　3　　．

　　Make a “to do” list the night before or the first thing in the morning．If you write down what you need to do, your mind will be free to study．You won't worry and spend time thinking about what you have to do next．

　　　　4　　．

　　Use it for a few weeks, then ask yourself some questions．Are you getting your schoolwork done on time? Are you getting more things done? Do you feel you have control of your time?

　　While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can' t be avoided．The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress．

　　Try physical activity．

　　When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity．Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try．

　　Take care of yourself．

　　You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest．If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor．

　　Make time for yourself．

　　Schedule time for both work and entertainment．Don' t forget, play can be just as important to you over－all well－being as work．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．Go window－shopping or work on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy．

　　Make a list of the things you need to do．

　　Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there's so much to do, and not enough time．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything．Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time．Set out to do the most important tasks first．Check off each task as it is completed．

　　Grandpa was 　　2　　 good man and never selfish．He was always thinking of others．At that time he was thinking of how he could make sure that the ice was safe for us, his two disabled granddaughters．I remember him cleaning the snow off the ice．He also brought chairs out onto the ice for us to hold onto them when we tried to learn 　　3　　 skate．

　　Neither my sister 　　4　　 I can skate today．　　5　　, we do remember Grandpa trying so hard．For us, being on the ice was not really a lesson in how to skate．It was actually a lesson from 　　6　　 we learned not to give up．One thing my family has taught me over the years is that whatever happens, you should 　　7　　 give up．If you fall down, you should encourage 　　8　　 and keep on going．I still live by that motto(箴言)today．

Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．

　　With more than 12, 500 plastic bottles being discarded(丢弃)every eight seconds, environmentalists are trying to come up with new innovative uses for this artificial(man－made)waste that is rapidly filling our landfills(垃圾填埋地)and harming our marine life．

　　Now, some developing nations are finding a new use for discarded bottles－building much－needed schools．A Central American organization called Pura Vida was the first to come up with this innovative idea．Instead of using building bricks, they filled plastic bottles with rubbish and built walls by piling them up between steel wires．The resulting structure was not only eco－friendly and cheap, but also as strong as a structure built using normal materials．

　　The project, which cost only US＄ 5, 181, was so successful that it had led to the establishment of a non－profit organization, Bottle Schools, which, with the support of San Diego－based Hug It Forward, has built five additional schools in Guatemala and has two more in the works．

　　Taking the hint from Bottle Schools is the My Shelter Foundation, which, under the leadership of Lilac Diaz, has started similar projects in Asia．Built on land donated by the government, the San Pablo, a Philippine school, was also built by volunteers and with “donations” of plastic bottles by the locals．However, unlike the other bottle schools, these bottles are filled with liquefied adobe(液化土坯)，which is three times stronger than concrete, and they are reinforced with steel bars．The school is also a lot more stylish than the previous ones, thanks to the different colors of the bottles and the open－air design．The best part is that this is just one of many such schools that will be built throughout the country．This kind of structure would be a great idea for developing countries around the world．And because it is good for the environment, perhaps it would also be a good way to celebrate Earth Day．
