How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we expresses our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.
So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.

“Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!”
That’s an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.
When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns(喇叭聲) and kept crossing the road in a mess.
Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least one third of them were jaywalking(亂穿馬路). Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.
Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.
【小題1】The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “       ”.

A．road B．bridge C．crossing D．traffic
【小題2】The writer saw people      in Shanghai that day.
A．crossing the road in a mess B．waiting for the green light patiently
C．crossing the road with chickens D．hurting each other in the street
【小題3】How does the writer like what he saw in Shanghai that day?
A．He thinks it’s OK. B．He thinks it’s wrong.
C．He has no idea of it. D．He doesn’t mention it

B. Scientists think that pets will probably be much smaller, because people in the future will be living in much smaller spaces. Scientists are already working on making very small farm animals. The same things might be done to make smaller cats and dogs.
C. It's said that some day you might own a panther (豹) as a pet. Some scientists believe that they might have to start turning wild animals into pets, since this might be the only way to save them from dying out.
D. What about a robot（機器人）for a pet? This may sound silly, but it could become true. Robot dogs have been made to get things, to bark like real dogs. These “pets” might become more and more popular in the future. After all, robots don’t lose hair or eat things the way real pets do.
E. Lots of people miss their pets while they are on holiday. One hotel in Minnesota has solved this problem. They lend cats to their guests. Many experts（專家）believe this idea will become more and more popular. It is very possible that in the future you will be able to have a pet while in a hotel.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
【小題1】The best title of the passage is ________.

A．Money Makes You Happy
B．The Secrets of Happiness
C．Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy
D．Good Friends Make You Happy
【小題2】The second paragraph tells us that ________.
A．the more friends you have, the happier you will be
B．we shouldn’t think about our future
C．happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.
D．some people fail to live a happy life
【小題3】 The passage gives us ________ pieces of advice on happiness.
A．one B．two C．three D．four
【小題4】 The writer thinks that ________.
A．everyone knows how to live a happier life
B．it’s wrong to spend time on work
C．hobbies take up too much time
D．doing good things for someone can make you happier
【小題5】 Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A．Reading a good book. B．Traveling to a foreign country.
C．Playing a sport. D．Spending time with close friends.

You are given many chances in life to choose to be a victim(受害者) or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, then internalizing(內化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are persons who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same problems, yet their experience of life is different worlds. Victims are easy to be in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others--and even themselves--to feel like victims, too. Creators choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire（鼓舞）not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to decide the direction of their lives.
In fact, all of us play the victim or the creator at different points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and go into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the sadness, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative strength in his life.
In every moment and every situation, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear goal to change the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
【小題1】 What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?

A．People and things around you.B．Chances and problems.
C．Creators and their choices.D．Victims and their sufferings.
【小題2】 What can we learn from the passage?
A．Creators have the ability to predict future life.
B．Creators deal with ups and downs of life wisely.
C．Victims can influence more people than creators.
D．Victims and creators face quite different things in life.
【小題3】The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that ________.
A．strong feelings of sufferings in life pull people into victims.
B．people need family support to deal with sufferings in life.
C．it takes creators quite a long time to clear out their pains.
D．one’s experiences decide his attitude toward his life.
【小題4】What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To describe victims and creators.
B．To compare victims with creators.
C．To suggest changing from victims to creators.
D．To explain the relation between victims and creators.
