A tone﹣deaf（五音不全）teenager has surprised his family by suddenly being able to play music while after suffering a concussion （脑震荡）．Gordon，a high school student，now can play 13instruments ﹣（1） 　　he has never learned music．

After that the doctors told him he couldn' t play sports any more，but there was one good side effect： his new﹣found （10） 　　．"Now I can play many instruments，such as piano，guitar and violin．Music is the thing that gets me up in the morning，"he said．

High school does not encourage students to know about the new things in life，but college sets the stage for it．I myself went through this （1） 　　process（过程）and found something that has changed my experience at college for the better： I discovered ASL﹣American Sign Language．

I never felt it necessary to learn any sign language before．All of my family members can hear，and so are all my friends．The （2） 　　 language was enough．Little by little，I discovered my （3） 　　for ASL．

The （4） 　　began during my first week at college．I watched it carefully when the ASL club performed their translation of a song．Both the hand movements and the idea of communicating without speaking attracted me．What I saw was completely different from anything I had experienced in the past．This new form of communication just made me want more．

After that，feeling the need to （5） 　　further，I decided to join one of ASL clubs．I only learned how to express my feelings （6） 　　 my hands about the letters that day．Although my process was （7） 　　，I wasn' t disappointed about it．I then tried my best to take part in those club' s meetings and learned all I could．

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests．Then it reached a desert，"I went through so many difficulties．I should have no problem crossing the desert，" she thought．As she started，she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand．After many tries，she still failed．"Maybe I can' t reach the ocean，" she said sadly to herself．

At this time，a deep voice said，"If a breeze （微风） can cross the desert，so can a river．"

It was the voice of the desert．But the little stream answered，"A breeze can fly，but I can' t．" "That' s because you can' t give up what you are．Let yourself evaporate （蒸发） into the breeze，and it can take you across，" said the desert．"Give up what I am now？ No! No!" The little stream could not accept this idea．"The breeze can carry the vapor （蒸汽） across the desert and let it leave as rain．The rain will form a river again，" said the desert．"And whether you are a river or vapor，your nature never changes．" Hearing this，the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze．It carried her to the next stage of her life．

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream．If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success，you should also change the way you are．

（1）The little stream planned to reach　　．

（5）What does the story mainly tell us？

I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun，planting flowers outdoors．But that was before the pair of crows （乌鸦）．Out of nowhere，they had set up their base camp in our garden．

We first discovered the crows on Friday morning．It was early，and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood．I thought they' d go away soon．But，no．They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise．I felt a little disappointed．

Then，on Sunday afternoon，I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground．I found a small coal﹣black bird in the grass．Its eyes were milky，and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it．Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away．I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera．

I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground，growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above．The second I saw this little bird I forgave （原谅） the crows．

To be honest，I' ve never been much of a bird person．I also have a healthy respect for birds．They' re basically living dinosaurs（恐龙）．

I wish they' d chosen another garden．There are only so many sunny days in Seattle，and I still can' t do any gardening out there．But I' m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature．It' s pretty amazing．

The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees，butterflies，and yes，birds．They are welcome here．

Maybe a lot of thin people will be worried about their health if the inside fat matters．

Some doctors now think that the inside fat around important organslike the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the outside fat which can be noticed more easily．

"Being thin doesn' t surely mean you are not fat，"said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College．Since 1994，Bell and his team have tested nearly 800people with MRI to create "fat maps" showing where people store fat．

According to the result，people who keep their weight through the food they usually eat rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits （堆积物） of inside fat，even if they are thin．

Even people with normal Body Mass Index （体重指数） scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside．Of the women，as many as 45percent of those with normal BMI scores （20to 25）actually had too high levels of inside fat．Men were nearly 60percent．

According to Bell，people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat．They eat too many fatty and sugary foods，but they are not eating enough to be fat．Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the stomach first，but at some point，the body may start storing it elsewhere．

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of inside fat，but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes （糖尿病）．They want to prove that inside fat does harm to the body' s communication systems．

The good news is that inside fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your eating habits．"If you want to be healthy，there is no other way．Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle，"Bell said．

This is what Murphy' s Law tells us： If things can go wrong，they will go wrong．But is it true？

Of the studies about Murphy' s Law，the most famous one is the buttered toast （烤面包片）phenomenon （现象）： One toast with butter falls，it lands butter﹣side down most of the time．

To prove this，Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1，000British school kids in 2001．

In the first experiment，each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate，let it fall off 20times and noted which side it landed on．Of almost 10，000experiments，toast landed butter﹣side down 62percent of the time．

But you may ask： Is it the butter that plays a role？ Here comes Matthews' second experiment．

This time，instead of butter，the toast had a letter "B" written on one side．It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B﹣side．

This proved that Murphy' s Law is true： If the toast can land butter﹣side down，it will do so．

Matthews did another experiment．When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5metres，the toast landed butter﹣side down only 47percent of the time．

"Toast lands butter﹣side down because humans aren' t tall enough to let it land any other way，" Matthews said．

（3）If the toast can land butter﹣side down，Murphy' s Law is true．

As we know，museums are buildings where many valuable and important exhibits （展品） are kept so that people can go and see them．For example，art museums are places where people can learn about （1） v 　　 cultures．More and more popular "design museums" that are opening today，however，perform quite a different role．Unlike most art museums，the design museum shows exhibits that are easily found in our daily life ，such as fridges and washing （2） m 　　．

   The advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits．Being different from the art museum visitors，design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled．This is partly （3） b 　　design museums clearly show how and why mass﹣products （批量产品） work and look （4） a 　　 they do，and how design has improved our lives．Art museum exhibits，on the other hand，would most probably （5） f 　　 visitors with a feeling that there is something out of their understanding．

Several new design museums have opened their doors in recent years．Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public' s （6） g 　　interest in the field with new ideas．

London' s Design Museum，for example，shows a collection of mass﹣produced exhibits （7） f 　　electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish﹣tins．The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than （8） t 　　 to art museums，and visitors may also （9） s 　　humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and （10） u 　　attractive（有吸引力的）toys collected from our everyday life．
