     Robby was 11 years old when his mother sent him to have his first piano lesson. I prefer that students
begin at an earlier age, but Robby said  1  had always been his mother's dream to hear him play the
piano. So I took him on  2   my student.
     Although Robby tried very hard,  3  he was not good at music. However, he continued and  4  the end of
each weekly lesson he'd always say: "My mom is going to hear me play someday." But it
seemed hopeless. He didn't have a talent for music.

take him to piano lessons, but he was still practicing. He asked  6   he could take part in my concert
and I agreed.
     The night of the concert came. The high school gym  7  with parents, friends and relatives. The concert
was going well. Then Robby came up on the stage, and began to play the piano.
     He played  8   well that everyone was on their feet, clapping (鼓掌) excitedly. In tears, I ran up on
the stage, "Oh, Robby!  9  did you do it?".
     "Well, Miss Green…remember I told you my mom was sick? Well, actually she had cancer and died this
morning. And well…she was born deaf, so tonight was the  10  time she ever heard me play the piano.
I wanted to make it special.

     Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a
foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, "Where are the
restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" are similar requests-both are correct
English, but the first could sound rude. It's important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is
not enough-we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.
     In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The
expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say
to your teacher, "Where is my book?" this will sound rude. But if you say, "Excuse me, Mr West. Do you
know where my book is?" your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright
to say "Where is my book?" in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.
     And you would not usually say, "Peter, lend me your pen." A very direct order like this can sound rude
in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra language, such as "Could you
please...?" or "Can I ask...?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?"
Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading in to a question or request. For example, if you
stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, "Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me." or "I'm sorry
to trouble you but," before asking them for help.
     It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.
However, in order not to offend people, learning about the language etiquette is just as important as learning
grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language
you wish to speak.
1. It's important to know how to ______ in English when we visit a foreign country.
2. When you talk with different people, you need to ______.
3. Extra words are used to help ______.
4. ______ is as important as learning language structure.
5. How do you say "Don't smoke here." politely? ______

     The expression "down to earth" means being open and honest. It is easy to get on with someone who
is down to earth. A down-to-earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud.
     Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be
better than others who are less important. A person who is filed with his own importance and pride is said to
have his nose in the air.
     Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is both
feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality
(現(xiàn)實(shí)). He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is
real.
     The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. Someone with his head in the clouds
is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day-dreamer.
     When we have both our feet on the ground, and when we are down to earth, we do not have our noses
in the air. We act honestly and openly to others. Our lives are like the ground below us—solid (牢固的) and
strong.
1. A down-to-earth person could be _________.
A. social and proud
B. good and opposite
C. real and important
D. strong and changeable
2. The expression "has one's nose in the air" means _________.
A. 眉飛色舞
B. 目中無人
C. 瞻前顧后
D. 春風(fēng)得意
3. This passage mainly talks about _________.
A. the use of some expressions
B. dreams and achievements
C. the lifestyle of honest people
D. honesty and understanding
4. If you want to understand what is real in life, you have to _________.
A. get along with other people easily
B. learn from those who are down to earth
C. be a good dreamer with quick mind

5. If you only consider your own importance, _________.
A. you'll think you are better than others
B. your life will be like the solid and strong ground

      In many high schools, there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class,
for example, the teacher will be very angry.
     Every mobile phone has a ringtone (鈴聲). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now,there is a ringtone
called "mosquitotone (蚊子鈴聲)". Using it, students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but
the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?
     Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older,we are unable
to hear some sounds with high frequencies (頻率). As a result,a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone
ringtone, but it's inaudible to someone 20 or older.
     But sometimes,people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student's phone uses mosquitotone.
In class, the student's phone rang. The 32-year-old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. "I
heard that. You know the rule:no mobile phone in class."
     Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones,a high school student of 17, says, "Using
mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure,but not in class. It's unfair to the
teachers!"
     What do parents think of mosquitotone? "I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters," says Connie
Neeson, 44. "Think about it. Yon're watching a film and someone's mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good
because many people don't hear it. However,it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in
class."
1. Mosquitotone works because ________.
A. it is very loud
B. it has no sound
C. it has a beautiful sound
D. it uses high frequencies
2. The under lined part "it's inaudible to" means "________".
A. it can't be seen by
B. it can't be heard by
C. it isn't popular with
D. it isn't healthy for
3. The 32-year-old teacher felt unhappy because the student ________.
A. was late for class
B. didn't do his homework
C. couldn't answer her question
D. was using a mobile phone in class
4. Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone ________.
A. has no bad influence
B. is unfair to the teachers
C. has its advantage and disadvantage
D. can't be used in any public place
