18.Almost every kid in this country has ever eaten Hershey chocolate.But do you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is more than one hundred years old?And do you know that the father of Hershey Chocolate,Milton Hershey,had many failures in business before he started his famous company?
Milton Hershey grew up in Pennsylvania.Before he became interested in making chocolate,he worked as a printer for a small newspaper at first,and then decided that printing was not the right job for him.
Then he worked at a candy factory in Lancaster.After working a few years there,he decided to open his own little candy business near Philadelphia.His first business failed because it was not making money.After that,he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖).He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies on the street.But his second business also failed.
Finally,Milton Hershey moved back to Pennsylvania where he grew up.He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolate.By 1893he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy each year.Since his chocolate-flavored(巧克力味的) caramels were the best selling,he decided to make chocolate himself.
By experimenting,Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate.The area where he lived had a large and easy supply of milk and sugar,which helped him succeed in his chocolate business.In 1903,Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with it.
Today,the town of Hershey is still the home if the factory that Milton Hershey built.And if you ever visit,you can smell delicious chocolate smells just bu driving through the town.
The factory is not so hard to find,Just travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue.Turn right at the traffic lights and just follow your nose.
64.Who is the father of Hershey Chocolate?Milton Hershey
65.Where did he grow up?He grew up in Pennsylvania.
66.Why did he go to Denver?Because he wanted to learn how to make caramels.
67.Why did he decide to make chocolate himself?Because his chocolate-flavored caramels were the best selling
68.What might be the reasons for Hershey's success in his chocolate business?His courage,new skills,determination and the large and easy supply of milk and sugar.

9.A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his free time.Hobbyists keep pets,build model ships,weave baskets,watch birds,hunt animals,climb mountains,raise flowers,fish,ski,skate,and swim.Hobbyists also paint pictures,attend concerts and plays,and perform on musical instruments.They collect everything from books to butterflies,and from shells to stamps.
People take up hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment,friendship,knowledge and relaxation.Sometimes they even yield financial profit.Hobbies help people relax after periods of hard work,and provide a balance between work and play.Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who have retired.Anyone,rich or poor,old or young,sick or well,can follow a satisfying hobby,regardless of his age,position,or income.
Hobbies can help a person's mental and physical health.Doctors have found that hobbies are valuable in helping patients recover_ from physical or mental illness.Hobbies give bedridden or wheelchair patients something to do,and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves.Many hospitals treat patients by having them take up interesting hobbies or pastimes.
In early times,most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies.But some persons who had leisure did enjoy hobbies.The ancient Egyptians played games with balls made of wood or pottery.
People today have more time than ever before for hobbies.Machines have reduced the amount of time they must spend on their jobs.Hobbies provide variety for workers who do the same monotonous (單調(diào)的) tasks all day long.More people are retiring than ever before,and at an earlier age.Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly found leisure hours.
Sir William Osler,a famous Canadian doctor,expressed the value of hobbies by saying,"No man is really happy or safe without a hobby."

56.According to the passage,a hobby may beD.
A.one's common activity in his pffice

D.a(chǎn) kind of activity a person like to do in his free time.

B.helpful for people to get up early
C.helpful for patoents to take medicine
D.helpful for people to sleep well
59.Why did most people spend less time on their hobbies in early years?C
A.Because they were not interested in hobbies
B.Because they were not any acticities for them to take part in
C.Because they were busy making a living
D.Because they were healthy.
60.W hat's the writer's opinion about hobbies?C

6.A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement.Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical(古典的)art form and its history should be paid attention to.
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW.Robert Walker,argues that all students should study the works of Western chassical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage(遺傳)because they fail to study classical music,as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop.The lack(缺乏)of music teaching is serious,especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist(專業(yè)的)music teachers.
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions,but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
"I'm not against pop music,but it's very simple,and not difficult either to play or to sing."Professor Walker says."But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australias's culture heritage,most children learn it only through Hollywood films."
"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture.It's part of culture heritage,"he says."Asian students know more about Wsetern classical music than most children in the West."
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain,Canada and Australia and is a former chief(首席的)examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education.Professor Walker says no school curriculum(課程)in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study,such as the Mendelssohn's.
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music,others on Elvis Presley,or on any music the teacher wants to teach.The situation should be changed as soon as possible,"he says.

81.What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion?A
A.Children know nothing about their culture heritage.
B.Classical music education isn't valued in schools.
C.Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
D.Australia schools need more specialist music teachers.
82.According to the passage,students should study classical music because it isA.
A.part of culture heritage
B.good for their growing up
C.difficult to play and sing
D.popular only in Asia
83.According to the passage,which one is different from the other three?D.
A.Haydn.
B.Tchaikovsky.
C.Mendelssohn.
D.Elvis Presley.
84.Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker?B
A.He worries about the music education in schools.
B.He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed.
C.He is well known in Western classical music teaching.
D.He has worked in Britain,Canada and Australia.
85.From the last paragraph,we can learn thatD.
A.Music teachers should teach anything that they like.
B.Most Children today are brought up by their music teachers.

4.Having a part-time job is an important part of growing up for American teenagers.It can teach them important skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives.And many  teenagers find that making their own money gives them a sense of pride and freedom.
American teenagers are allowed to do part-time jobs at the age of 14.During the school year,teenagers may go to work a few times a week after school,and work for longer at weekends.
In summer,top part-time jobs for teenagers include at camps,swimming pools and amusement parks.These jobs are great for those who want to be active and have fun while making money.
Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching,nursing,and police work.These skills help to prepare teenagers for their later lives.When they grow up,the students with work experience are more likely to succeed than those without work experience.A favorite job for many teenagers is babysitting,and they can start before the age of 14if their parents agree.As long as they stay in the house and make sure the kids are 
okay,babysitters can do their homework,watch TV,or talk on the phone with friends.
After the kids go to bed and before the parents come home,babysitters have lots of freedom.
It can be stressful to balance school,homework,and a part-time job.However,many American teenagers value their work experience and the skills they get from the job.

50.Why do American teenagers like to have a part-time job?B.
A.Because they don't want to be stressed out.
B.Because they can learn skills and get money.
C.Because they can get a good job in the future.
D.Because they can do anything they like.
51.Which kind of part-time job is less stressful for American teenagers?C.
A.Working at police.B.Nursing
C.Working at camps.D.Teaching.
52.Which kind of part-time job can a 13-year-old girl do in America?C.
A.Working at parks.B.Working at a swimming pool.
