Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she recalled howshe became a percussion soloist（打击乐器独奏演员）in spite of her disability.
“Early on I decided not to allow the    of others to stop me from becoming a misician. I grew up on a farm in the northeast Scotland and began     piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion for music grew. But also began to gradually lose my   . Doctors concluded that the nerve damage was the     and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never     me.”
“My     was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I   to ‘hear’ music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can     the pitch of note by the vibrations I feel through my body and through my   . My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every    that I have.
“I was    to be assessed as a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal Academy of music in London. No other deaf student had     this before and some teachers     my admission. Based on my performance, I was     admitted and went on to
  with the Academy’s hignest honours.”
“After that, I established myself as the first fulltime solo percussionist. I     and arranged a lot of musical compositions since
   had been written specially for solo percussionist.”
“I have been a soloist for over ten years.   the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t    that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be    by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”

Students are being forced to take additional exams to get into leading universities because good A-levels do not always indicate the brightest candidate.
Sixth-formers applying to courses such as medicine and law are being asked to sit American-style aptitude tests, which are designed to assess thinking skills, among fears that too many A-level candidates are getting top grades. Last year, almost one in six students applying to universities such as Oxford and Cambridge from independent schools had to sit additional tests to secure a place.
Head teachers criticized the move, which they said would pile more pressure on schools and students. But universities insisted that the reforms were unavoidable, because A-level exams were no longer an accurate barometer of ability.
In 1986, 40 percent of students starting at Oxford achieved straight as at A-level. Mike Nicholson, its admissions director, said that this year almost every candidate offered a place would get perfect grades. It meant the university had to stage additional tests to identify the most able candidates. “The ability to achieve three A grades is no longer the endpoint the admission process,” he said. “The potential to achieve three A grades will allow them to enter the race for a place.”
Oxford is not the only university turning to aptitude tests. At Cambridge, the number of students taking the university’s Thinking Skills Assessment shot up 26 percent to more than 3000. A survey of 16830 sixth formers applying to higher education from private school last year showed that 2860 had to sit at least one exam.
Earlier this year, the National Foundation for Educational Research recommended that most sixth formers should sit SAT tests—a standard reasoning exam widely used in American colleges—to make it easier to pick out the best candidates.
What is the attitude of head teachers to the reform?

Which British university first started to use aptitude tests to pick out the best candidates?
A. Harvard
B. Oxford
C. Cambridge
D. Washington D.C

Almost Human
Scientists are racing to build the world’s first thinking robot. This is not science fiction: some say they will have made it by the year2020. Carol Parker reports.
Machines that walk, speak and feel are no longer science fiction. Kismet is the name of an android which scientists have built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it can show human emotions. Its eyes, ears and lips move to show when it feels happy, sad and bored. Kismet is one of the first of a new generation of androids—robots that look like huamn beings—which can imitate human feelings. Cog, another android invented by the MIT, imitates the action of a mother. However, scientists admit that so far Cog has the mental ability of a two-year-old.
The optimists say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids with brains similar to those of an adult human beings. these robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public. What kind of jobs will they do? In the future, robots like Robonaut, a humanoid invented by NASA, will be doing dangerous jobs, like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and more of the household work for us. In Japan, scientist are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and playing the piano.
Some people worry about that future holds: will robots become monsters? Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro-computer, connected to the internet, in the future. Proplr will have micro-chips in various parts of their body, which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets. Perhaps we should not exaggerate the importance of technology, but one wonders whether, in years to come, we will still be falling in love, and whether we will feel pain. Who knows?

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier — shark.
Research by a Britain biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.
Lauren Smith,24,is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure.
If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather
Miss Smith had previously studied the behavior of lemon sharks.
She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research.
Her work—thought to be the first of its kind to test pressure theory—resulted from observation that juvenile sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.
Miss Smith said, “I’ve always been crazy about travelling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”
“I was delighted to gave been able to reach in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand—but it certainly opens the way to more research.” It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balanced system.
She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.
The passage is most probably taken from______?

What do we learn from the first four paragraphs of the passage?

Lauren Smith conducted her research by ______.

What is the passage mainly about?

When you want to buy or rent a house, you are expecting not only the quality of the house itself but also the nice neighbours who live near you. Almost everyone agrees that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. However, the standard of good neighbours is different from people to people. In my opinion, a good neighbour should be someone that respects your life. Is ready to help others and concerns zbout the environment in the neighbourhood.
First of all, it is very important for neighbours to expect your life. Just imagine, if you have a neighbour who is curious about you, especially your personal life, and tries to know more about it by whatever means. How will you feel? What is more, he or she may talk with others about your life. Do you want to live near him or her any more? The answer is definitely negative. You will feel very uncomfortable to have such kind of people in your neighbourhood and you may move as soon as possible.
Next, what you should consider is that a good neighbour is always willing to give you a hand when you need help. For example, if you are not at home and someone suspect tries to unlock your door, your neighbour who sees it should call 110, and it will help you to protect your property.
Finally, a good neighbour should be concerned about the environment, especially around your neighbourhood. He or she should throw all the rubbish into the garbage and keep the place clean, because a good environment can make people who live in it comfortable and relaxed all the time.
Therefore, it is very important for a neighbour to have such qualities as above.
What is mainly discussed in the passage?

According to the passage, a good neighbour may do the following except______.

If a neighnour always wants to know about your personal life, you may ______.

The underlined words “someone suspect” in the third paragraph refers to ______.

We can learn from this passage that ______.

Some schools in the United States offer Chinese language classes with government support from China.
Saint Mary’s School is a private college preparatory school in Medford, Oregon. Carly Irvine is in her fourth year of learning Mandarin. Carly Irvine said, “Since China and America are working so closely and our relationship is growing more and more, I think it will be very important in the future to know Chinese.”
