Japanese artist Ei Wada discovered that old television sets made great percussion instruments(打击乐器) by mistake, but he managed to turn this inadvertent discovery into an art. Today, his unique Braun Tube Jazz Band is famous all over the world.

Wada first became interested in percussion music at the age of four, after attending a Gamelan music performance in Indonesia. He was impressed by the sound of the percussion instruments, recalling that he felt “taken to another world”. This memory stuck with him, and a few years later, while playing some old cassette tapes, he realized that the sounds they produced were very similar to the Gamelan music that had made such a big impression on him. Since then, he has been focusing on producing sounds with old devices that people usually throw away.

While attending university, Wada met three other boys who shared their love for unconventional musical instruments, and together they founded Open Reel Ensemble—a band that specializes in making music with other old tech. And that’s how the Japanese musician discovered his most successful instrument—the old TV sets.

Wada said it happened completely by mistake. After plugging a sound cable into a composite(复

合的) video connector port and seeing the sound on the screen as an image, he started pairing many TVs with PC-controlled video decks at different pitches(音高), thus turning them into percussion instruments. Then, he connected the guitar to his feet and started touching the TV screens to produce buzzing noise. Today, he can make the old television sets sound like electric drums.

The Japanese artist uses old TVs to transform light into sound. It sounds strange, but just take a look at the video of Wada performing and you'll see it's actually pretty cool.

4. What does the underlined word “inadvertent” in paragraph l mean?

A. Wonderful. B. Mysterious. C. Accidental. D. Creative.

5. What happened to Ei Wada after attending a Gamelan music performance in Indonesia?

A. He began doing scientific experiments.

B. He became interested in percussion music.

C. He began making percussion instruments himself.

D. He formed his own band—Braun Tube Jazz Band.

6. When did Ei Wada found Open Reel Ensemble?

A. After he graduated from college.

B. Before he attended a Gamelan music performance.

C. When he played some old cassette tapes.

D. When he was studying at a university.

7. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Ei Wada’s passion for music.

B. The influence of Braun Tube Jazz Band.

C. Ei Wada’s impression on the Gamelan music.

D. How Ei Wada turned old TVs into percussion instruments.

The meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.

  At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a ___12___ of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.

  “I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”

 “I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. ___16___ First, work on changing your own behavior. Then, find effective ways to communicate if someone bothers you.

Changing Your Behavior

●Think before you speak. ___17___ Sometimes, it’s best to let small indiscretions (轻率的行为) go. Try taking a few deep breaths and leaving the room instead of criticizing.

●Separate the individual from their actions. If you work on separating the person from the action, you may naturally want to criticize less. As you realize you cannot judge a person’s character based on a single choice or decision, you will be unable to call someone out for being rude or disrespectful.

●Focus on positives. Oftentimes, being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. ___18___

Communicating More Effectively

●___19___ Some people have issues that may need addressing. However, feedback is very different from criticism. When addressing an issue, focus on suggestions you can make to help another person improve, which is more effective than criticizing.

●Ask for what you want directly. Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism. ___20___ Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct, respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism.

●Consider the other party’s perspective. If you criticize others too often, you may be shutting out the other person’s point of view. Try to step in another person’s shoes before criticizing and you may get some new and special ideas.

A. Give feedback rather than criticism.

B. However, there are ways to avoid criticism.

C. Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones.

D. If you find yourself making assumptions about a person’s character, stop yourself.

F. Criticism should, ideally, be working towards an effective solution to a negative situation.

G. When you want to dish out criticism, pause and consider whether you really need to say anything.

    阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

They don’t mean it

Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways. This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.

The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods. After the dinner, they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.

“I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work!” Mrs. O’Meara said to my mother.

“The girls helped with the cutting and I’m sorry they did such a terrible job.” said Mother.

I heard a little gasp(倒吸气) from my friend Kim O’Meara, who stared wide-eyes at Mother. When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn’t understand why my mother said so.

I had to laugh. “She doesn’t mean it! It’s just the way she talks.”

Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining, “In China, parents consider it good manners to deny praises about their children. Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging(自夸).” Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.

That Easter, the O’Mearas invited our family for dinner. Mrs. O’Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot. As Mrs. O’Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said, “I’m not sure if I can eat one more bite. That was the best ham I’ve ever tasted!”

“Aw, that ham was terrible,” said Kim. “I bet you could do a lot better, Mrs. Yang.”

注意:1. 续写短文词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 1:

There was a stunned (震惊的) silence around the table.
