some do hard work which man cannot do for himself. Dogs, which serve man in all three capacities, are
found in various breeds in all countries of the world. The Husky can live in the cold polar regions, and the Saluki is at home in the hottest parts of Cennai Africa. The inhabitants of certain countries are dependent
for their very lives on the camel. In the West Indies the little donkey, strong and sure-footed, carrying
heavy loads even in mountainous places, is a familiar sight.

roaming (到處走) in search of food and shelter. They look to their masters to provide for their needs,
and as long as these are supplied, they are content to do what their masters require.

     Think of some of your favorite singers.When you listen ,they can make you happy or sad , peaceful
or angry.They can make you relax or want to get up and dance.Gifted singers have the power to affect
us in many ways-emotionally, physically and mentally.
     But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one.It takes practice , devotion and strong
lungs ! Just ask the wellknown American opera( 歌劇)star Carol Vaness.
     At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud
enough to be heard  by  four thousand people. It must reach every person  in  the theater , without a
microphone ,even when she’s singing softly.The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way
she breathes.
     “When you breathe,  it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater ,” Carol
explains.“You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”
     According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how
much air you take in,  and how you control it coming out.Regular singing is more like speaking, and
it’s a lot softer.When I sing for children,they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears-like waves on a beach,”Carol says.“In opera,  the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth-it vibrates in your
chest,  the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played.”
     Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten,  Carol has loved music.As she got older,she
decided to become a music teacher.When she went to college,  she took singing lessons as part of her
studies.Her voice teacher discovered that nineteenyearold Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano
voice-the highest singing voice for women.
     Carol decided to make opera her goal,not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved
the drama.Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them.The stories of
opera can be tragic or comical.They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand
stories about kings and queens who lived long ago.As the characters in an opera sing,the emotions(情感)
expressed by words and music come to life.
    Today,  Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty
years.But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace.“Put_your_heart_into_your_
singing and enjoy it,”says Carol, “because singing is a great joy.That’s why I sing.In fact, that’s why
everybody sings.”
1．According to the passage，  the Metropolitan Opera in New York City  ________.
A．is a fivestory building  
B．can seat 4， 000 people
C．has no microphones in it
D．can project the singer’s voice
2．What is the best title for this passage？
A．Opera Singing and Pop Singing  
B．The Way An Opera Star Sings
C．An Opera Star            
D．Singing without A Microphone
3．Which statement is TRUE？
A．A pop singer’s lungs are usually stronger than those of an opera singer’s.
B．The author has the idea that opera singing is more like speaking.
C．A pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing.
D．An opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing.
4．From the passage you can conclude all the following EXCEPT that________.
A．Carol once learned to play the piano

閱讀理解
     Millions of women use cosmetics, often called "make-up". The cosmetics industry is one of the biggest
in the world. Most large stores sell cosmetics, and there are always shops at airports selling them cheaply. The word "cosmetics "refers to anything that people put on their faces to make them look better. Lipstick,
face powder and cream, and eye make-up are the most popular. Although more women than men use
cosmetics, there are cosmetics for men as well as women.
     Some people even have cosmetic surgery to make their faces look different. They have the shape of
their noses and eyes changed.
     The most widely used cosmetic is probably lipstick, as many women who do not wear any other
make-up will often put on a little lipstick.
     Lipstick is made by mixing together different oils and colors. This mixture is then allowed to get hard
and is cut into the shape of a small pencil. When a woman presses the lipstick to her lips, the end of it
becomes soft, and some of it sticks to her lips, giving them extra color.
     Cosmetics were probably first used in India, but it was the Egyptians, six thousand years ago, who
made the most use of them. Rich Egyptian women painted their eyes green and black. They used a red
color to paint pretty designs on their fingernails, the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet.
Pictures of Cleopatra always show her wearing a lot of make-up.
     The Romans also used cosmetics. They liked to make their skin very white and to paint their eyes.
They also used a kind of lipstick.
     In England at one time, very rich women had baths in milk to make their skin beautiful. They also used
a lot of sweet-smelling powder to stop people smelling their bodies, which were often very dirty because
they did not wash very often or change their clothes.
     At one time, some cosmetics were not safe. They were bad for the skin and some of the lipsticks and
powders that people used were even poisonous. Nowadays, people in the cosmetics industry take great
care to make sure that everything they use is completely safe.

1. What does the word "Cosmetics" refer to ________.
A. lipstick            
B. make-up          
C. creams          
D. surgery

2. According to the passage people use cosmetics ________.
