Today, a man talked very loud on his phone on a train between Malvern and Reading, making many passengers upset. I wonder how he would react if I were to read my newspaper out loud on the train, I have never had the courage to do it, though.


Pak50 ·57 minutes ago
Why not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument. The late musician Dennis Brian is said to have asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started to practice.


Angie O’Edema ·42 minutes ago
I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his conversation. He realized this and said sorry to me. When his phone rang again later, he left
.his seat to answer it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.


Taodas ·29 minutes ago

C
Atticus was nearly fifty. He was much older than the parents of our classmates, and there was nothing Jem or I could say about him when our classmates said, “My father—”
Our father worked in an office. He didn’t do anything that could possibly win the admiration of anyone. He wore glasses. He was nearly blind in the left eye.
When he gave us our air-rifles (气枪), Atticus wouldn’t teach us to shoot(射击). Uncle Jack said Atticus wasn’t interested in guns. Atticus said to Jem one day, “Don’t point that gun at anybody. Also remember it’s a sin (罪) to kill a mockingbird.”
That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
“Your father’s right,” she said. “Mockingbirds make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens. They do nothing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
“What do you think of my father? Is there anything he’s good at?”
“You’d be surprised if your father was thirty. You’d find he was quite different,” said Miss Maudie, “There’s life in him yet.”
One Saturday, Jem and I decided to go exploring with our air-rifles to see if we could find a rabbit or a squirrel. Suddenly we noticed an old dog. It hunched its shoulders and twitched its torso. “There’s something wrong with it.” We soon ran quickly back to tell Maudie. She quickly shut the wood door behind us. She herself ran outside to tell others.
“Mad dog’s coming! Mad dog’s coming!” Maudie’s message had been received by the neighborhood.
Nothing is more terrible than a deserted(空旷的), waiting street. The trees were still, the mockingbirds were silent. Everybody held their breath.
Atticus drove back quickly and got out.
In a fog, Jem and I watched our father take the gun and walk out into the middle of the street. He walked quickly, but I thought he moved like an underwater swimmer: time had slowed to a nauseating crawl. Atticus rubbed his eyes and chin; we saw him blink(眨眼)hard.
The rifle cracked. The dog fell onto the ground. It didn’t know what hit itself.
Jem was frozen.
“I saw that, One-Shot Finch (神枪手)!” Neighbours cried.
“Forgot to tell you the other day that Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in his time.” Miss Maudie laughed.
When we went home, I told Jem we’d really have something to talk about at school on Monday.
31. According to the passage, what do you think of Atticus ?
A. modest and brave B. weak but friendly
C. energetic and humorous . D. gentle but boring
32. Why was Jem frozen when the dog fell onto the ground?
A. He was afraid the dog hadn’t died yet. B. He was surprised Atticus could shoot.
C. He was worried about Atticus’s safety. D. He was afraid of being hurt by the dog.
33. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. An Awful Day B. The Mad Dog
C. Our Perfect Father D. One-Shot Finch
D
If English means endless new word, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is.
A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has studied the link between bilingualism and maths skills carefully. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible（灵活的), he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and understanding were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
34. The last sentence of the second paragraph wants to ________ .
A.say language learning is also a kind of physical labor
B.show the importance of using it when you learn a language
C.make people believe language learning helps gray matter work well
D.prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language
35. The underlined word “bilinguals” probably means .
A.active language learners B.researchers on language learning
C.people who can speak two languages D.people who are good at learning foreign languages
36. The main subject talked about in this passage is .
A.language learning and maths study
B.science on learning a second language
C.man's ability of learning a second language
D.that language learning can help brain power
37. We may know from the scientific findings that .
A.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
B.the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brain
C.the earlier you start to learn a second language，the higher the gray matter density is
D.there is no difference between one who learns a second language learner and one who doesn't

Dear David,
I’m very glad to learn that a Chinese Culture Week activity will be held in your school. It’s a good chance for you to learn more about China.
First, a paper-cutting show is a good choice. As a traditional art, paper-cutting includes different themes like plants, animals, stories and so on. Then, holding a cooking competition can also attract people’s interest, which is helpful in learning traditional customs in different places. What’s more, talks about Chinese history, poems or even buildings are surely welcome.
I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you.
Yours,
Liang Hua
