For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic。
纽约爱乐乐团决定聘请Alan Gilbert作为下一任的音乐总监，这从2009年任命被宣布之日起就在古典音乐界引起了热议。
别的不说，大部分人的反应是积极的。
“好啊，终于好了！” Anthony Tommasini写道，他可是一个以严肃著称的古典音乐评论家。
One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air o f the formidable conductor about him。
” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise。

绝密★启用前2011年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(全国Ⅱ卷)英语第二部分阅读理解（共25小题，第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分：满分45分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASince 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals（壁画）have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti（涂鸦）are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. "When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community（社区）. When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals."The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.41. What can be the best title for the text?A. Love, from Graffiti Writers to Muralists.B. MAP, a New Company in Philadelphia.C. Jane, an Excellent Mural Artist.D. Hope, One Wall at a Time.42. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at?A. Helping the young find jobs.B. Protecting the neighborhood.C. Fighting against graffiti.D. Attracting more visitors.43. How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural?A. By having discussions with people in the community.B. By seeking advice from the city government.C. By learning from the young graffiti writers.D. By studying the history of the city.44. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP?A. Difficult.B. Dangerous.C. Experimental.D. Successful.BFor those who study the development of intelligence（智力）in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image （反射出的影像）.Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying evry little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Dinana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M.Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo.They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals‟ play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way."45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?A. Whether they have large brains.B. Whether they have self-awareness.C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?A. They are most familiar to readers.B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.C. They are included in the study by Reiss.D. They are already known to be intelligent.47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.C. She painted a mark on her own face.D. She found the hidden camera.CStudent Membership-----Cambridge Arts CinemaCambridge Arts Cinema is one of the art houses in Britain and home of the internationally celebrated Cambridge Film Festival.

I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered th at in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures（文化）.Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate （气候），while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality（准时）. If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.52. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______.A. the American bank didn't think much of himB. the American bank might hire another personC. it's difficult to get used to American cultureD. it's easy to misunderstand Americans53. The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.A. encouragesB. helps to narrowC. increasesD. draws attention to54. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?A. Ask the native people for help.B. Understand and accept them.C. Do things in our own way.D. Do in-depth research.55. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______.A. ItaliansB. GermansC. GreeksD. the BritishE"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said …yes‟ and it was announced again."It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana----she was still on cloud nine."I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience（观众）that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why herdance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete（比赛）. "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...”As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens（青少年）about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."56. What do the words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry57. Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role medel mainly because she is .A. determinedB. friendlyC. strictD. experienced58. How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.59. What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?A. She visited drunken drivers.B. She gave dance performance.C. She made speeches on safe driving.D. She helped other teens with their studies.60. What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?A. Be yourself with the support of friends.B. Meet friends whenever possible.C. Go easy on yourself and others.D. Have a good role model.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2011年阅读理解真题语篇译文
2011年text1 外部董事的职责，P1.西蒙斯于2000年一月加入Goldman公司董事会，成为一名外部董事，一年后他成为布朗大学的校长。
此后几十年的时间里，她很明显扮演着两个角色，但并未引起多少责难。
但是在2009年底，西蒙斯女士却由于担任Goldman薪酬委员会委员受到抨击；他怎可能让角奖金得以发放又引起人们的注意呢？到第二年二月，西蒙斯便离开Goldman公司董事会，她说该职位占用了她太多的时间。
P2. 外部董事在企业董事会中扮演有益而又相对公正的顾问角色，由于他们在别处已经创造了自己的财富和声誉，所以他们很可能有足够的独立性否定总裁的建议。
如果公司经营状况不佳，股价下跌外部董事应该根据自己以往应对危机的经验提出建议。
俄亥俄大学的研究者们建立了一个数据库，该数据库囊括了1989年至200年间的一万多家公司和64000多位不同的董事。
后来他们又专门审核了哪些外部董事连任了两届，离开董事会最可能的原因是年龄，所以研究者们关注的焦点是那些不到70岁却很离奇消失的外部董事们。
他们发现在外部董事意外离开后，公司不得不重申盈利的可能性上升了20%。
在联邦法院所受理的集体起诉案件中被涉及的可能性也会增加，并且公司在股市的表现也会更糟。
大公司受到的影响往往会更大。
尽管外部董事的离职与随后企业业绩下滑之间的相互关系让人难免揣测，但这并不意味着外部董事们总是在公司为难之时弃之不顾。
他们往往喜欢“做大生意”，离开风险更高的小公司转而投身规模更大更为稳定的大企业。
但是研究人员相信，如果外部董事在坏消息传出前就离开公司，他们会更轻易避免声誉受损，虽然历史记录显示，在公司出现问题时，外部董事仍在董事会，那些想在艰难时期挽留住外部董事的公司一定要采取激励措施，否则外部董事们就会步西蒙斯女士的后尘，再一次在校园里受到欢迎。

2011考研英语阅读翻译(正文+选项)
2011 Text 12009年纽约交响乐团决定聘请Alan Gilbert担任下一任音乐指挥，这是自从突然宣布他的任命以来古典派音乐界一直谈论的话题。
大体上说，这种反应至少可以说是称赞性的。
连严肃认真的古典音乐评论家Anthony Tommasini 也写道，“很好哇！终于有结果啦！”然而，这次任命出人意料的原因之一是Gilbert相对来说，知名度不大。
甚至连在《时代》周刊上支持对Gilbert任命的Tommasini都把他称作为“一位不张扬的音乐家，他没有音乐指挥家那种令人生畏的傲气”。
作为对至今一直由Mahler和Pierre这样的音乐家指挥过的乐队的下一任音乐指挥的描述，上述说法似乎很可能使得至少一些《时代》的读者认为是一种菲薄的赞扬。
至于我，我不知道Gilbert是否是一位很棒的指挥家或者甚至是一位优秀的指挥家。
确实，他指挥了许多感人肺腑的、引人入胜的乐曲。
而我就不必访问Avery Fisher Hall，或者到任何其他地方去听令人感兴趣的管弦乐。
我要做的一切就是去我的CD架处，或打开我的计算机并从iTunes下载更多的录制的音乐。
那些听音乐会的发烧友回答说，录音音乐无法替代实况表演，但他们说错了。
就热爱艺术的公众的时间、精力和财力而论，古典乐器演奏家们必须不仅与歌剧院、舞蹈文工团、戏剧公司和博物馆竞争，而且与20世纪的伟大古典音乐家的录音表演竞争。
这些录音唱片廉价、随处可以买到，而且常常在艺术质量上比当今的实况表演高得多；此外，听者可以在任意选择的时间和地点来“消费享受”这些音乐唱片。
而且到处都能买到，因而造成了传统古典音乐会的体制危机。
一个可能的应对办法是，古典音乐表演家去设计有魅力的新的音乐，而这种音乐还没有被录制成唱片，所以买不到。
Gilbert 自己对新音乐的兴趣一直得到大家广泛的注意：古典音乐评论家Alex Ross认为他是一位能夠把纽约交响乐团转变成“一个明显不同的、更有生气的组织”。

2011 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（二）试题答案与解析Section I Use of English一、文章题材结构分析本文是一篇说明性的文章，主要讨论了互联网上的身份验证问题。
作者首先提出，由于网络用户的匿名现象带来的隐私泄露和网络犯罪问题，然后针对这些问题介绍了一种称为“自愿信任身份识别”系统的解决方法，并对这种方法做了评述。
二、试题解析1.【答案】A【解析】本题目考生需要关注两点：（1）空格前的主语（2）空格后的介词短语。
鉴于此，考生需要从四个选项中选出一个不及物动词，能与空格前的主语that（指代the explosion of cyber crime 网络犯罪的激增）构成主谓逻辑，并与空格后的介词短语across the Web 构成动宾逻辑。
A 项swept（打扫，席卷）可以做不及物动词，并能与空前的主语和空后的介词短语构成顺畅的逻辑关系，即在文中表示“匿名制是造成网络犯罪席卷互联网的原因”，故A为正确答案。
B 项skip 意为“跳过，掠过”；C 项walk 意为“走，步行”；D 项ride 意为“骑，乘，驾”虽可做不及物动词，但与空前主语和空后介词短语不构成完整的主谓搭配和动宾搭配，都是干扰项。
2.【答案】C【解析】本题目考生需要重点关注空格后的状语从句，状语从句引导词的选择主要考虑从句与主句之间的语意关系。
空格所在句子的主句是privacy be preserved（隐私得以保护），从句是省略了主语和助动词的bringing safety andsecurity to the world（带来网络世界的安全），由此可以推断本句是要表达“在给世界带来安全保障的同时，隐私是否能够得以保护呢？”，C 项while 意为“在……的同时，当……的时候”，可以表示伴随关系，故为正确答案。
A 项for 表示因果关系；B 项within 表示“在……里面，不超出”；D 项though 表示让步关系；在搭配上与doing并无典型用法，此外带入空格，整个句子逻辑也很不通顺，故为干扰选项。
2011年考研英语二阅读第一篇
2011年考研英语二阅读第一篇全文共10篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hey guys, have you heard about the 2011 College English Test Band 2 reading section? Let me tell you all about it in a fun and easy way! So, here's the deal: in this reading section, there are four passages for us to read, understand, and answer questions about. It's like a little adventure where we get to explore different topics and learn new things!The first passage is usually about a social issue or a current event. It talks about things happening in the world and how they affect people's lives. It's super interesting because we get to see different perspectives and learn about what's going on around us.The second passage is usually a bit more academic. It could be about a scientific discovery, a historical event, or even a literary work. This one can be a bit challenging, but don't worry, we just need to focus and take our time to understand it.The third passage is about something related to culture or history. We might learn about different traditions, customs, orfamous figures from around the world. It's like taking a little trip to a new country without leaving our seat!The fourth passage is usually a bit lighter, like a personal story or an opinion piece. It's fun to read because we get to see how other people think and feel about different things. Plus, it helps us practice our reading comprehension skills.Overall, the reading section of the 2011 College English Test Band 2 is a great opportunity for us to learn, explore, and improve our English skills. So let's dive in, have fun, and do our best! Good luck, everyone!篇2Hello everyone, today I want to talk about the first reading passage in the 2011 English second entrance exam.The passage is about how people perceive the colors blue and green differently in different cultures. In Western countries, blue is often associated with calmness and sadness, while green represents freshness and health. But in China, blue is linked to masculinity and strength, while green symbolizes rage and jealousy. It's super interesting how the same colors can have such different meanings depending on where you are from!The passage also talks about how language can influence the way we see colors. For example, in Russian, there are different words for light blue and dark blue, which might make Russian speakers more sensitive to different shades of blue. It's crazy to think about how the language we speak can actually change the way we perceive the world around us.Overall, this passage really made me think about how culture and language can shape our perceptions of the colors we see every day. It's such a cool reminder that there's so much more to colors than just what meets the eye. I had so much fun reading and learning from this passage, and I can't wait to see what other interesting things the next reading passages have in store for us.That's all for now, thanks for listening to my summary of the first reading passage in the 2011 English second entrance exam! Have a great day everyone!篇3Hey guys! Today I want to talk to you about this reading passage from the 2011 English II exam. It's all about how humans are impacting the environment and what we can do to help.First off, the passage talks about how global warming is causing the ice to melt in the Arctic. This is really bad news foranimals like polar bears who rely on the ice to survive. But it's not just the polar bears who are in trouble, it's all of us. If we don't do something to stop global warming, we could see more extreme weather events like hurricanes and droughts.One way we can help is by reducing our carbon footprint. That means using less energy, driving less, and recycling more. We can also support renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. These clean energy sources don't release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere like fossil fuels do.Another important point from the passage is how deforestation is harming the environment. Trees help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. So when we cut down forests, we're not only destroying habitats for animals, but we're also making air pollution worse.To help stop deforestation, we can all do our part by planting trees, supporting sustainable forestry practices, and choosing products that are made from recycled materials.Overall, it's up to us to take care of our planet. We need to be mindful of our actions and make choices that will protect the environment for future generations. Let's work together to make a difference!篇4Hey guys, today I want to talk about the first passage of the 2011 GRE English II reading section. It was all about how technology is changing the way we learn and communicate. Pretty cool stuff!The passage talked about how technology like the internet and smartphones are making it easier for us to access information and connect with people all around the world. It also mentioned how some people think this is a great thing, while others are worried about the negative effects it might have on our brains and social skills.I thought it was really interesting to read about how technology is shaping our lives in so many ways. Like, I never realized how much I rely on my phone for everything from finding directions to keeping in touch with my friends. It's crazy to think about how different things were before all this tech stuff!Overall, I thought the passage was pretty easy to understand. There were some tricky words here and there, but I was able to figure them out by looking at the context. It was a fun read anddefinitely got me thinking about how technology is changing the world.So yeah, that's my take on the first passage of the 2011 GRE English II reading section. It was a cool topic and I can't wait to see what's next in the rest of the test!篇5Hey guys, have you heard about the 2011 Postgraduate Entrance Exam? Let me tell you all about the first reading passage in the English test!The passage is all about how music can affect our emotions and behavior. It talks about how music can make us feel happy or sad, calm or excited. Isn't that cool? I love listening to music, so this topic really caught my attention.The passage also mentions a study where people were asked to listen to different types of music while looking at pictures of faces showing different emotions. It turns out that the music they were listening to actually influenced how they perceived the emotions in the pictures. Can you believe that music has such a big impact on our brains?There's also a part in the passage where they talk about how music can help us communicate and understand each other better. I think that's so true! Music is like a universal language that everyone can understand and connect through. I always feel closer to my friends when we listen to music together.Overall, I think this passage is really interesting and it made me think a lot about how powerful music can be. I can't wait to see what other cool topics are in the exam this year!So, what do you guys think about the first reading passage? Let's chat about it!篇6Hey guys, today I'm going to talk about the first reading passage in the 2011 English II exam for the postgraduate entrance exam. It's all about how animals communicate, which is super cool!So, in the reading, it says that animals communicate in different ways, like using sounds, body movements, and even smells. For example, dolphins make clicking sounds to talk to each other underwater, how awesome is that? And did you know that bees dance to tell their friends where to find food? It's like a little bee dance party!But it's not just about making noises or dancing, animals also use body language to communicate. Like dogs wagging their tails when they're happy, or cats hissing when they're scared. It's so interesting to see how animals express their feelings without even saying a word.And guess what? Even plants communicate with each other! They release chemicals into the air to warn other plants of danger, like if there's a bug eating them. It's like they have their own secret language going on underground.Overall, this reading passage shows us just how amazing and complex the world of animal communication is. It's not just about words, it's about signals, gestures, and even scents. So next time you see a bird chirping or a squirrel twitching its tail, remember that they might be saying more than you realize! Just like how I'm telling you all this cool stuff about the reading passage. Pretty neat, right?篇7Hi everyone! Today, let's talk about the first reading passage from the 2011 National Entrance Examination for Master's Degree (English part). It's all about the evolution ofcommunication. Sounds cool, right? Let's dive in and explore together!The passage starts by introducing the importance of communication in our daily lives. It talks about how communication has evolved over time, from cave paintings and smoke signals to written language and digital communication. It's like a journey through history, showing how humans have always found ways to connect with each other.One interesting point the passage makes is about the role of technology in communication. It mentions how inventions like the printing press and the internet have revolutionized the way we communicate. It's crazy to think about how much our world has changed because of these technological advances.But it's not all rainbows and unicorns. The passage also touches on the negative effects of technology on communication. It talks about how social media can sometimes lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. It's a reminder that we need to be careful about how we use technology to communicate.In the end, the passage emphasizes the importance of effective communication in building relationships andunderstanding each other. It's a powerful reminder that communication is key to a harmonious society.So, what do you think about the evolution of communication? Have you ever thought about how technology has changed the way we connect with each other? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!That's it for today's discussion on the first reading passage from the 2011 National Entrance Examination for Master's Degree. I hope you enjoyed exploring the evolution of communication with me. Thanks for reading, and see you next time!篇8Title: A Funny Story from My GrandmaHi everyone! Today I want to tell you a funny story that happened to my grandma. It was a sunny day, and my grandma was going to the market to buy some vegetables for dinner. As she was walking down the street, she saw a big dog running towards her. Grandma got scared and started running as fast as she could.But guess what? The dog was actually chasing a butterfly! It was jumping and barking happily, completely ignoring my grandma. When she realized this, she stopped running and started laughing. "Silly dog," she said, "chasing butterflies like a little kid."When she got to the market, she told everyone about the funny incident. They all laughed and said that they wished they could see it too. Grandma bought some fresh vegetables and headed back home, still chuckling to herself. She couldn't wait to tell Grandpa about what happened.When she got home, Grandpa was waiting for her with a big smile on his face. "What's so funny?" he asked. Grandma told him the whole story, and they both laughed so hard that tears came to their eyes.That day, my grandma learned that sometimes things are not as scary as they seem. And that even the most unexpected situations can bring laughter and joy. It's a story that I will always remember and cherish, and I hope it brought a smile to your face too.篇9Once upon a time, in the magical land of 2011, there was a big test called the GRE exam. It was a scary test that lots of smart people took to go to a special school called grad school. And in this test, there was a part called the Reading Comprehension.Now, the Reading Comprehension part had lots of reading passages that made people scratch their heads and say, "Huh?" But one brave little student named Timmy wasn't afraid. He put on his thinking cap and dove right in.The first passage was about something called "ecocentrism." Timmy didn't know what that word meant, but he read on. It talked about how some people thought that nature should be valued above all else. Timmy thought that sounded nice - he loved trees and animals too!The second passage was a bit trickier. It was about the history of architecture in ancient Greece. Timmy wasn't sure what all those fancy words meant, but he tried his best to understand. He learned about columns and temples and how they were all built a long time ago. It made Timmy feel like he was in a time machine!After reading all the passages, Timmy felt proud of himself. Even though some of the words were hard and he didn't know everything, he had tried his best. And that's all that mattered.So, the moral of the story is, even if you don't know all the answers, just keep trying. You never know what magical adventures you might find in the pages of a reading passage. The End.篇10Hey guys, today I'm gonna talk about the first reading passage of the 2011 National Postgraduate Entrance Examination ("2011"). So, grab your snacks and listen up!The passage is about the importance of sleep and how lack of sleep can affect our health and performance. It talks about how our body needs sleep to recharge and repair itself, and how not getting enough sleep can lead to all sorts of problems like memory loss, weight gain, and even serious health issues like heart disease and diabetes.I found this passage super interesting because I never really thought about how important sleep is before. I mean, I love staying up late watching TV or playing video games, but now I realize that I need to make sure I'm getting enough sleep to stay healthy and do well in school.The passage also talks about ways to improve our sleep, like having a routine bedtime, turning off screens before bedtime,and creating a comfortable sleep environment. I'm definitely gonna try some of these tips to see if they help me sleep better.Overall, I think this passage is a reminder for all of us to prioritize our sleep and take care of our health.

For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic。
纽约爱乐乐团决定聘请Alan Gilbert作为下一任的音乐总监，这从2009年任命被宣布之日起就在古典音乐界引起了热议。
别的不说，大部分人的反应是积极的。
“好啊，终于好了！” Anthony Tommasini写道，他可是一个以严肃著称的古典音乐评论家。
One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him。
” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise。

Passage 1The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)法国大革命于1789年爆发。

Passage 1Mr. Young ran his own business and worked very hard. His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she often tried to get him to take a vacation.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend. I'd like to bring him home with me.""Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him.""There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine（地雷）and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us.""We're sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.""No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.""Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.The grief-stricken（悲痛欲绝的）parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue （太平间）to identify the body of their son.

A：T B：FKEY：ABAABPassage 6People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like- Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you,Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought thai he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his caseto his side of the table.人们常说英国人的家就是他的城堡，意思是说家很重要也很私人的。
