Frederic Chopin

　　Frederic Chopin was born in March 1810 near Warsaw (華沙) in Poland (波蘭). He was one of the greatest musicians in the world. In 1831, when he went to Paris, no people but he could play the piano very well.

　　At that time people in Paris liked the Hungarian (匈牙利的) pianist Franz Liszt.

　　One night, at a concert, Liszt went to the piano and the people shouted. As all the lights in the concert were turned off, a wonderful piano concert started.

　　Suddenly, all the lights were turned on again as the music came to an end. And there stood a young man instead of the famous Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt.

Reading Comprehension

　　People are wiser and can do more things than other animals because of their wonderful brains. We can talk, read, write, build houses, and invent things. Your brain has three main parts：the front brain, the hind brain, and the middle brain.

　　The front brain is the largest. It is gray outside and white inside. This is the part of the brain where you remember, think, and plan. With this part of your brain you make your arms and legs do what you want them to do. Here is where the messages from the eyes, ears, and nose let you see, hear, and smell. The hind brain is smaller than the front brain and is more like that of other animals. This part of the brain gives you balance and control of your muscles. You walk without tripping and skip without falling because the hind brain is doing its job. If it were not, you would lose your balance and fall over.

　　The middle brain is the smallest of all, but very important. It controls the beating of your heart, swallowing food, breathing, and other things you do without thinking. The middle brain is a small swelling where the brain joins the spinal cord－a large bundle of nerves in your backbone. The spinal cord is the main road to and from the brain. It comes into the middle brain bringing messages from all parts of your body. It also takes charge when some part of your body is in danger. If you touch a hot iron, the message to the spinal cord makes you pull your finger away even before you feel the pain of the burn. This is called a reflex. Nerves conned most parts of your body to the spinal cord.

1．What is the main idea of the passage?

[　　]

A．How brains make people intelligent.

B．How your brain is connected with most parts of your body.

C．How the spinal cord in your body works.

D．How each part of your brain functions.

2．Which part takes charge when one is designing his research project?

[　　]

A．The spinal cord.
B．The front brain.
C．The middle brain.
D．The hind brain.

3．The spinal card leads to your

[　　]

A．front brain
B．middle brain
C．hind brain
D．none of them

4．What does the underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refer to?

[　　]

A．The front brain.
B．The hind brain.
C．The smaller brain.
D．Other animals' brains.

5．If you cut your finger, how can your brain know it?

[　　]

A．Your heart feels it and lets your brain know.

B．When you see the blood, your eyes will send the message to your brain.

C．Your backbone collects the message and sends it to the brain.

D．Your spinal cord collects the massage and sends it to the brain.

　　It's important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:

　　1．Reduce

　　If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely(明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste.

　　2．Reuse

　　You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

　　3．Recycle

　　Bottles, cans(罐子) and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat(壓平) and melted(融化) and the metal things are made for new coke cans.

　　4．Recover

　　When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐爛的) apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.

　　5．Repair

　　If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.

1．The “Reduce” rule mainly requires(要求) us ________.

[　　]

A．to use things wisely

B．to cut down many trees

C．to use a lot of paper

D．to throw away your old clothes

2．What's the right order(順序) of recycling coke cans?

[　　]

a．collect the used cans
b．melt them
c．smash them flat
d．send them to a factory

[　　]

A．a(chǎn) b c d
B．a(chǎn) d c b
C．d b c a
D．c a b d

3．The “Recover” rule mainly requires us ________.

[　　]

A．to throw waste things away

B．to cover waste things with earth

C．to get back the useful parts

D．to throw the whole things away

4．Which is the best way to do with your broken tables?

[　　]

A．Throwing them away.
B．Repairing them.
C．Selling them.
D．Putting them away.
