A mother, wishing to encourage her son’s progress at the piano, bought tickets to a performance by the great pianist Ignace Paderewski. When the evening arrived, they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and saw the perfect piano waiting on the stage. Soon the mother found a friend to talk to, and she didn’t notice that the boy slipped away (溜走).
At eight o’clock, the lights in the hall became dark, the spotlights (聚光灯) came on, and only then did they notice the boy — up on the piano bench, calmly playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. His mother was surprised and felt very nervous and sorry. However, before she could call her son back, the master himself appeared on the stage and quickly moved the keyboard.
He spoke very gently to the boy, “Don’t give up. Keep playing.” Leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass (低音) part. Soon his right arm reached around the other side and created a delightful music with the boy. Together, the old master and the little boy let the listeners enjoy their beautiful music.
36. The mother brought her son to the performance because ______.
37. How did the little boy come to the stage?
38. Which of the following words can best describe Ignace Paderewski?
B
The banana is popular all over the world. Its three colors tell you how ripe it is. Green means go and find another banana. Yellow means eat me. Brown means eat me but you don’t need to use your teeth to break it up. A banana is neat to eat. When you bite into it, you don’t have to worry about the juice. And it’s a silent food — you can eat it all you like without driving your neighbors crazy with noisy sounds like eating apples or carrots. Finally, it’s easy to cut — you don’t have to use a knife.
You’re never too young or too old to eat bananas. Babies eat mashed (捣碎) bananas before their teeth come through. Great-great-grandparents eat mashed bananas after their teeth came out.
The banana is ready for cooking. You can fry it, bake it or mash it. At lunchtime, you can make a banana sandwich, or eat a bag of dried bananas. You can add a banana to your ice cream for dessert and call it a banana boat.
Here in the US, we get most of our bananas from Ecuador and Costa Rica, although the fruit was reportedly born in Asia. Bananas are a kind of healthy fruit which contain lots of Vitamins A and C. Science studies show that eating bananas can make people feel happy, but doctors advise us to eat them after meals. The price of bananas hasn’t changed much over recent years — it’s still about 65 cents a pound.
39. When a banana turns brown, it means that ______.
C. it has less sugar
40. Which of the following reasons are mentioned for what makes bananas popular among people?
41. From the text, we can learn that bananas ______.
42. Which would be the best title of the text?
43. Where is the hometown of bananas according to the text?

In May, a national group of healthcare experts, educators and parents requested that the Federal Communications Commission (美国通信委员会) start the review of BusRadio. This is a radio programming system (系统) that is heard each day on 10,000 school buses in 24 states. More than 1,200 people expressed their opinions on the FCC website during the first month of the review.
Supporters of the programming say it keeps students calm during the busy bus rides. But others complain that the media company forces kids to listen to advertisements. They also say that BusRadio broadcasts music that is sometimes not good for children.
A father wrote on the website that his two sons have had the bus radio for the past year, and they hate it. It’s too loud and makes conversation between the students more difficult, and it plays music they don’t like. They hope their school bus will stop using it.
Michael Yanoff, CEO of BusRadio, stands by the company’s programming. He says that the students, drivers, and headmasters in these areas that use BusRadio enjoy it and that those are the people that really matter, because they have the students’ best interests in mind every day. He considers that lots of the criticism comes from people who have never experienced the program.
Alex Sanchez, spokesperson for the Denver Public Schools, which use BusRadio, said that the schools will wait and see the result of the FCC. He noted that there have been no problems with the radio program and that it has helped to improve safety on buses.
44. We can learn from the text that BusRadio ______.
45. People who don’t like BusRadio think that ______.
46. What does the underlined word “criticism” mean in Paragraph 4?
47. According to the text, Michael Yanoff ______.

Read the following statements of Nokia mobile phones and answer the questions.
Nokia 5300
It is the best choice for music lovers. First, the in-built music player has special music keys. The mobile phone can store about 1,500 pieces of music. The sound quality is great. You can download videos. A high quality digital camera, just like that of the Nokia N93, and great looks add to the overall advantage of this Nokia mobile phone.
Nokia E61
This is a business phone from the 3G Nokia E-series. It is a smart phone especially designed for businessmen. It has functions (功能) like email, mobile Internet, MS Office files, WLAN, WCDMA module and a QVGA display. It comes with complete business tools to help you organize your business, including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Adobe Reader. Even if you are out of your state or country, you can keep in touch with your partners through the Internet.
Nokia 5500
As the name suggests, the Nokia 5500 Sport is very popular among sportsmen. It helps you record sports activities. The phone is designed with water proof, dust proof and shock proof casing. The front part of the phone is made largely of rubber and the keys are built into this rather than being separate. The screen is small. For sports purposes, it does not face a problem. However, for those who want to read web pages, the screen is less suitable.
48. What can you do with the Nokia 5300 according to the text?
49. If you have to travel a lot on business, you’d better choose the ______.
50. The underlined word “proof” in the third introduction probably means “______”.

Creative writing activities
There are several creative writing activities that can be used to develop creativity in a child's expression. However, the activities may differ depending on the age or grade of the child.
Elementary students are in the stage when creativity is at a natural high. However, at this age, expression needs to be trained. So, the best creative writing activities would be those which would teach the child the right ways to express. This could include regular storybook reading in his daily routine. This will help them think creatively. Another creative writing activity that one could use is, poetry reading and reciting. This teaches the child that creativity can develop the language. An added benefit of these creative writing activities would be the self-confidence of the child.
When the child is in middle school, his creativity goes up a level. At this stage, the best creative writing activities would be the ones that help him bring out what he’s suppressing (抑制) within. He could start writing a journal. Essay writing and report writing on a regular basis in school should work well, too. Not only will these develop his creativity, but also help him understand the phenomena (现象) in his surrounding better.
So, now the child is in high school and the best creative writing activities for him would be journal writing, reading and writing poetry. All these will gain a completely new meaning and motive (动机) in his life. The element here is to make sure that creativity is not the only way of life for the child. The child should be able to think analytically(分析性地) and logically (逻辑上地) as well. So mix up creativity and analytical reasoning, and see the impact. Regular essay writing will make sure that he stays in touch with his creative writing, as well as gives him enough practice to allow his vocabulary or different knowledge to get used effectively.

Dear editor,
I am writing to find a British or American pen friend on this website. I will be happy if you can help me.
I want to have a pen friend, hopefully a girl in her early twenties and with interests similar to mine. In my mind, she is someone who is interested in reading, traveling and climbing. Besides, it would be great if she has pets at home as I love animals. We can learn from each other about different cultures and customs. I’m sure we will have a deep and lasting friendship.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
