21、A new study, conducted by British company Mindlab International, has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy (精确) and speed, The Telegraph reported.
Perhaps, some parents disagree with this idea, saying, "Switch off the music and concentrate!" Well, if that's the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.
The company gave 26 participants (参与者)a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning. The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all.
The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work. David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International, told The Telegraph, "Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state... they are going to become more positive about the work."
However, you may have a list of your favorite songs, but not all kinds of music match all homework. For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you are reviewing your English writing, pop music is the best choice, as it is the best kind for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14%, compared to listening to no music. After finishing your homework, do you often take time to check your answers? Maybe, some dance music is suitable for you.
【1】What did the participants have to do in the study?
A.Persuade their parents to listen to music.
B.Do a series of work without rest or pause.
C.Complete five tasks in five days without help.
D.Finish tasks with music or without music at all.
【2】What does the underlined word "they" in Para 4 refer to?
A.Results.
B.Tools.
C.Participants.
D.Tests.
【3】When you review your English writing, what kind of music should you listen to?
A.Classical music.
B.Dance music.
C.Pop music.
D.Rock music.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Music Helps Us to Learn
B.We Can’t Live Without Music
C.Not All Music Suits You
D.Listen to Different Music
22、When I speak to other parents about how responsible my kids are, I often get laughed at or they make a comment about how strict a parent I must be. Giving kids responsibilities is a must. It is parent’s job to make their kids become responsible adults and to prepare them for the real world and life as an adult.
Kids as young as toddlers(学走路的孩子) can be given small jobs to do and can help you around the house, in the garden, at the grocery store, etc. They can do little jobs like setting the table, helping to make the bed, washing dishes, washing the car and so on. When you let children do small jobs at a young age and make it fun, encourage, praise and thank them, it quickly becomes normal and a part of life. Kids who are given different responsibilities grow up with a much greater sense of self-worth, self-esteem and are more confident. As the children grow, their responsibilities grow and expand.
Doing everything for children or not allowing them to make mistakes and learn from them is not being a positive, responsible parent. The kids will more than likely end up with bad attitudes, and usually have no respect for their parents or other adults and at times have no respect for themselves. When your kids are ready to leave home, they should be responsible, capable and confident.
It is my opinion that parents are to be thanked or to be blamed(责备) for just how kids take control of their lives. They are a product of their environment, mirroring what they have seen and what you have taught them. Parenting is the hardest job in the world and none of us are perfect, but it is our job!
【1】What do other parents think when the author says her child is responsible?
A.They think it not good.
B.They think it acceptable.
C.They think it not rare.
D.They think it unbelievable.
【2】Parents can make their kids become responsible by ________.
A.making small jobs fun
B.praising and encouraging them
C.giving them simple jobs to do
D.setting a good example to them
【3】We can learn from Paragraph 3 that doing everything for children________.
A.shows parents’ responsibility
B.shows no respect for children
C.is difficult for every parent
D.is bad for their development
【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A.To explain the responsibilities of parents.
B.To show her experience in raising children.
C.To encourage kids to be responsible.
D.To advise parents to make children responsible.
23、How to make friends at a new school
Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 【1】 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself.
【2】 If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
【3】
Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!
Believe in yourself.
A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact(目光接触) with other people. 【4】 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names.
You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 【5】 Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵称). You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy.
A. People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.
B. Be friendly to others.
C. Join afterschool activities you like.
D. Making new friends can be hard, too.
E. Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!
F. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.
G. Never change who you are to try and fit in.
