18、he world. BThe ancient Greek philosopher Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to everything.”We know that music brings joy and comfort, and makes us feel happy, Spencer says. But research has als

19、o discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression. It also builds self-respect and is good for memory skills. The power of musicMuch research supports both Spencer and Plato. A Stanford University study found th

Its sa

22、d that many children dont have access to formal musical education, particularly when it has such an effect on a childs development.” Its up to parentsInvolving our children in music doesnt have to be expensive. And many parents give their kids musical exposure subliminally（下意识地）, be it through singi

23、ng, the radio or stereo. But parents can take it to the next level by talking about music and exposing kids to different styles. For many older children, music is part of their culture and while parents dont have to like it, they can still engage their kids in conversation about itIdeally, Spencer w

24、ould like every child to learn an instrument. “Kids can access cheap instruments like a ukulele, recorder or harmonica（口琴）, Spencer says.

The great baseball star told the crowd at Yankee Stadium :” For the past two weeks you have been reading about my bad news .Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the fac

29、e of this earth.” Many people were moved by his words . The Iron Horse then described his many blessings and fortunes , saying a lot “I m lucky” and “Thats something”. Clearly , luck is a state of mind .To explore this question scientifically , Wiseman created a “luck lab ” at the university of Hert

30、fordshire in England . Wiseman began by testing whether those who believe they are lucky are actually more likely to win the lottery (彩票). He invited 700 people .Although lucky people were twice as confident as the unlucky ones that they would win the lottery ,there was no difference in winnings .”L

31、ucky people are far more satisfied with their life than unlucky people .” Wiseman wrote in his charming book, The Luck Factor .Does this satisfied state of mind translate into actual life that someone might call lucky ? It does. Here s how .Wiseman found the lucky ones were half as anxious as the un

32、lucky ones , that is , “ Because lucky people tend to be more relaxed than others . They are more likely to notice opportunities even when they are not expecting them.”Wiseman discovered lucky people also score much higher in openness than unlucky people do . “ Lucky people are open to new experienc

33、es in their lives .” he notes.Expectation also plays a role in luck . Lucky people expect good things to happen , and when they do ,they welcome them .But even in face of difficulty , lucky people turn the bad into good fortune . Considering the example set by one of the longest ALS sufferers in his

34、tory ,Stephen W.Hawking once wrote : “ I was lucky to have chosen to work in physics ,because that was one of the few areas ,in which my condition would not be a serious disability .” Unable to move , Hawking has made use of his fate by using it as a chance to change our understanding of the univers

35、e , which he has . Thats something.29.

36、 the experiment B. did the experiment in his luck lab C. studied 700 lucky lottery winnersD. asked Lou Gehrig to speak for him31.

38、y, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say. They have revealed that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.Experts from the University of

39、Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. Larks or morning people, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the

40、wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive (归纳的) int

41、elligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicato

42、r of academic performance. They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative（创新的）thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richa

43、rds and Elvis Presley. George W Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice, who wakes at 4.30am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psycho-physiology at Loughborough University, said: Evening types tend to be the more ac

44、tive and creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers (推断者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants. A previous study of US Air Force recruits（新兵）found evening types were much better at thinking laterally (横向) to solve problems than larks.

45、33. The underlined word “owl” in the text means:_A. A bird of prey that flies at night B. A bird of prey that is a symbol of wisdom C. A kind of person who stays up late D. A kind of person who gets up early34. The following features belong to night owls except that _.A. Night owls are much healthie

46、r, wealthier and wiserB. Night owls have a strong ability to reason logicallyC. Night owls are expert in analyzing and innovative thinkingD. Night owls stay up late and sleep later in the morning35. Whats the authors attitude towards night owls?A. Skeptical. B. Negative. C. Subjective. D. Objective.

71、e, Id like to share my ideas about the topic of communicating with our parents.Parents are the people devoted to us most, and thats why its necessary to keep a good relationship with them. Here are my ideas on how to make it easier to communicate with parents.First of all, we should respect and trus

72、t our parents. Dont be rude to them even if they have done something wrong. They have experienced more and always try their best to protect us from dangers. Secondly, if we often share with them our life and experiences, we will know each other better. Whats more, we can often tell our parents how much we love them. If sometimes we dont agree with our parents decisions, we should try to put ourselves into their shoes and we will soon understand them. Please do remember they really hope that we will become the best in the future.Thank you for listening.
