Albert Roussel is one of the most famous French musicians. The composing of Albert Roussel got off with a (n) start, but received one of its biggest successes from a lie.

At the age of eight, Roussel lost his parents and he had to live with his grandfather. He built on the music learned from his mother by reading through the family music and playing classics and popular songs on the .

Three years later, Roussel was taken in by his mother’s sister. She helped young Albert to continue to the professional piano courses. The summer vacations at their beach house added a second love to Rouseel’s life—the sea. He studied to be a navel (海軍)man, still spared much time to study music.

In the French Navy, while he was at a training base, he and two of his friends found the time to play the piano trios （三重奏）of Beethoven and other . Roussel also began composing . At a church nearby on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first performance as a composer with a beautiful piano trio. Everyone in church was pleased with the new piece.

That encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march. One of his fellow naval officers offered to show to an influential conductor, Edourad Colonne. When Roussel’s friend with the composition , he reported to Roussel and other people that Colonne advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.

Then at the age of 25, Roussel did just that he had spent seven years in the navy. He the self-discipline and his sense responsibility that he had developed in the to his composing and became a force in the 20th century French music. As for Edourad Colonne’s advice that Roussel devote his life to music —Roussel’s navy friend later admitted that he had that advice and he had never even shown Roussel’s to the conductor.

While applying to college may seem easy, getting in can be tough! When you apply for college, you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit. Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.

Step l: Making a List of Colleges to Apply to

With over 6,000 colleges in the United States, the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list. This process will be different for everyone. The number of colleges you apply to can vary, from applying to 1 school (not recommended) to 30 schools (not recommended), each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to. Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee.

Step2: Splitting the List into Target, Reach and Safety Schools

In general, students will want to apply to three types of schools: Target, Reach and Safety schools. It is up to you how many applications you send, but a good mix would be more target than reach, and at least one safety. You will need to take your list, and now decide which are your top picks, which are attainable for you academically, which are affordable for you only with aid, and refine (精煉) your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success. Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.

Step 3: Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges

Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications! College applications take time to complete - you have to write essays, ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools - so stay organized! All colleges will require these types of application materials, so start thinking about these items well before October or December. Once you complete and send them, then you have successfully applied to college.

1.It can be learned from the first paragraph that_______.

A. you don't have to think twice before applying to college

B. you should be cautious to pick up the right college

C. once you apply to a college, you'll be admitted to it easily

2.To make a list of colleges, you ________.

C. had better take your academy into account

A. One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college.

B. Refer to an admissions counselor at high school if necessary.

C. One should clarify the list according to one's abilities.

D. Teachers' recommendations are included in application materials.

4.We can conclude from the text that ________.

A. each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free

B. the more college one chooses, the more successful he will be

C. safety schools are those that don't have so many requirements

D. applicants should send required materials before the deadline

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題，然后將答案填入相應(yīng)的位置上。(請注意答題后的詞數(shù)要求)。

[1] Are you on Facebook almost every hour of the day? Do you think about being on Facebook even when you are not? If so, you’re suffering from Facebook addiction. Just like any other type of addiction, it can be harmful to a person’s overall life. However, following the few tips can help yourself overcome it.

[2] Admit your addiction to Facebook. Admission is the first step with any addiction. If not, then you can’t be helped. Ask yourself these questions：Are you on Facebook at least every hour? Do you wake up in the middle of the night with the desire to check your Facebook page? Does Facebook interfere with your job performance, family life or daily routine? If you said “yes” to most of these questions, then you could be addicted to Facebook.

[3]List the consequences for using Facebook. Many people don’t realize what negative impact Facebook has on their lives until they make a list. Think about what Facebook addiction is doing to your job, family environment and your overall life and list them all, which helps bring about awareness on what it is really doing to their lives.

[4] ________ . Go under the help section on Facebook and email customer service letting them get your account canceled. For some people this is enough to help them overcome their addiction, but some others may end up turning to some other social networking websites, say, MySpace. In that case, you need to cancel Internet access together.

[5] Seek a professional therapist. Recovering from any addiction can be difficult. Find a therapist specializing in addiction, even better yet someone who is familiar with Facebook addition. The therapist will help you understand where your Facebook addiction stems from and what you can further do to recover from it.

[6] Don’t allow your addiction to Facebook to continue taking over your life and take

action today.

Bananas are one of the world’ s most important food crops. They are also one of the most valuable exports. Bananas do not grow from seeds. Instead, they grow from existing plants. Bananas are threatened by disease because all the plants on a farm are copies of each other. They all share the same genetic weaknesses. For example, the Cavendish banana is most popular in North American and European markets. However，some kinds of fungus organisms easily infect the Cavendish. Black Sigatoka disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants. The disease is controlled on large farms by putting chemicals on the plant’ s leaves. Farmers put anti-fungal chemicals on their crops up to once a week.

Another fungal disease is more serious. Panama disease attacks the roots of the banana plant. There is no chemical treatment for this disease. Infected plants must be destroyed. Panama disease has affected crops in Southeast Asia, Australia and South Africa. There is concern that it may spread to bananas grown in the Americas. This could threaten an important export product for Central and South America.

The International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain supports research on bananas. The group has headquarters in France and other offices in the major banana-growing areas of the world. The group says that more research must be done to develop improved kinds of bananas. The group says that fungal diseases mainly affect only one kind of banana. In fact, there are five hundred different kinds of bananas. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has said that the Cavendish banana represents only 10% of world production.

The U．N. agency says farmers should grow different kinds of bananas. This protects against diseases that affect only one kind. Experts warn that disease may cause the Cavendish banana to disappear. This happened earlier to another popular banana because of its genetic weakness against disease.

1.What does this passage mainly tell us?

A. Bananas are the world’ s most important food crops.

B. The risk to a popular banana shows need to grow other kinds.

C. There are five hundred different kinds of bananas.

D. How to grow bananas in different countries.

2.Bananas are threatened by disease because ________.

A. they grow from seeds

B. they are one of the most valuable exports

C. the only way to prevent it is to put chemicals on their leaves

D. they have genetic weaknesses against disease

3.Panama disease________.

A. doesn’t belong to fungal disease

B. affects the leaves of banana plants

C. destroys bananas more seriously than Black Sigatoka disease

D. has spread to bananas all over the world

4.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.

A. the center of the group is in the US

B. the Cavendish banana covers only a small part of the yield of bananas

C. the key to solving the disease is to research all kinds of bananas

D. each fungal disease affects five hundred different kinds of bananas

5.According to the passage, which information is right?

A. The Cavendish banana can mainly be imported from North America and Europe.

B. Panama disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants.

C. The Cavendish banana won’t die out in the future.

D. The Cavendish banana makes up only one tenth of world production.
