4.You have probably heard of the Mozart effect,It's the idea that if children or even babies,listen to music composed by Mozart they will become more intelligent,A quick Internet search says plenty of products to assist you in the task.Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music,but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever,the picture is more mixed.
The phrase"the Mozart effect"was made up in 1991,but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature,The media and the public showed great interest in the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain.It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable,Mo-zart was undoubtedly a genius himself,his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it,we'll become more intelligent.
The idea took off,with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children,In 1998Zell Miller,the Governot of the state of Georgia in the US,even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music,It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose,Even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.
I'll leaver the debate about Mozart effect on cows to farmers,but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent?More research was carried out but and analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally,but the benefits are shor-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent.

46、What can we learn from paragraph 1?D
A、Mozart composed many musical pieces for children
B、Children listening to Mozars will be more intelligent
C、There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music
D、There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect
47、Why did many people believe in the idea of Mozart Effect?B
A、Because a study described it in the journal Nature
B、Because Mozart himself was a genius
C、Because Mozart's music is enjoyable
D、Because Mozart's music makes people relaxed

B、the idea was accepted by many people
C、Mozart played an important part in people's life
D、the US government helped promote the idea
49、What is the author's attitude towards the Mozart effect?C
A、Favorable  B、Objective  C、Doubtful  D、Positive
50、What would be the best title for the passage?A
A、Listening to Mozart,necessary?
B、What music is beneficial?
C、What is the Mozart effect?
D、To be or not to be?

14.[1]Every language has its own special words and expressions.And a story can be told  about each of them.Hot is a simple,easily understood word.So are most of the expressions  made with the word hot.But not always,as we shall see.
[2]The words hot potato,for example,give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expres. sion,hot potato.The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes.Imagine trying  to carry a hot potato in your hand.It would be difficult,even painful,to do SO.Some publicly argued  problems are highly emotional.The problems must be treated carefully,or they will be difficult and  painful if an elected official has to deal with them.One such hot potato is    taxes.Calling for higher  taxes can mean defeat for a politician.And yet,if taxes are not raised,some very popular governmentprog    rams could be cut.And that also Can make a politician very unpopular.The questions must be dealt with carefully,the same way you would handle any other hot potato.   
[3]Another expression is not SO hot.If you ask someone how she feels,she may answer"not so hot."What she means is she does not feel well.Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something.You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot.That means   
[4]A hot shot is a person,often a young person,who thinks he can do anything.He is verysure he can succeed.But often he fails.The expression was born in the military forces.A hotshot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.  
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger.A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead.An angry person'S neck often becomes red.We say he is hot under the collar.
76.What is the text mainly about?(within 8 words)The expressions of"hot".
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(within 8 words)you don't consider it a success.
78.Which sentence in the text i s the closest in meaning to the following one?
  As you would deal with other dicult problems,you must be careful with these ones.The questions must be dealt with carefully,the same way you would handle any other hot potato.
79.List three situations where"hot"expressions can be used according to the text.(within 30  words)
  ①when you mean something difficult and painful to handle.
  ②when you do not really like something.
  ③when you mean a person who becomes angry easily.

16.You have waited 45minutes for the valuable 10minutes'break.But when the bell for the next class rings,you can't believe how quickly time has passed.If you have this experience,you'll know how time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored.Now scientists have come up with a reason why this happens.
They have found that the brain changes its way to work according to our attention to a task.When we are bored,we pay more attention to how time is passing.And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.
Recently some researchers who went to understand the conditions carried out an experiment.In the experiment,twelve volunteers watched a picture while researchers monitored( 關(guān)注) their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to first notice how long a picture appeared,then the color of the picture,and third1y,study the both.The results showed that the brain was more active when the vo1unteers paid attention to more subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspect(方面) of a task,it has to spread its resources,and pays less attention to the clock.Therefore,time seems to go quickly.If the brain is not so active,it spends its full energy on the passing of time.As a result,time seems to move slowly.

71.What does the underlined word"drags"probably mean?B
A.runs quickly  B.passes slowly  C.moves actively  D.goes fast
72.What have the scientists found?D
A.Time goes by fast when we have nothing to do.
B.When we are bored,we pay less attention to how time is passing.
C.The brain works in different ways in different time.
D.The brain changes its way to work according to our attention to a task.
73.How did the researchers do the experiment?C
A.By inviting the volunteers to have a long class.
B.By asking the volunteers to pay attention to a clock.
C.By monitoring brain activity while volunteers are watching a picture.
D.By asking ten volunteers to watch a picture.
74.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A
A.Time seems to go quickly if we're busy.
B.If we pay more attention to the clock,we may feel less bored.
C.Time goes slowly when the brain is active.
D.If we spend full energy on the clock,time goes quickly.
75.Which is the best title of the passage?C
A.The best way to save time        
B.The importance of saving time
