An ld man and his sn were driving their dnkey t a neighbring fair t sell him.

D yu see that idle lad riding while his ld father has t walk? Get dwn, yu yung scapegrace, and let the ld man rest his exhausted bdy.” Upn this the ld man made his sn dismunt, and gt up himself.
In this manner they had nt prceeded far when they met a cmpany f wmen and children：“Why, yu lazy ld fellw，” cried several tngues at nce, “hw can yu ride upn the beast, while that pr little yung man there can hardly keep pace by the side f yu？” The Miller immediately tk up his sn behind him.
They had nw almst reached the twn. “Pray, hnest friend，” said a citizen, “is that dnkey yur wn？”“Yes，” replied the ld man. “O, ne wuld nt have thught s，” said the ther, “by the way yu lad him. Why, yu tw fellws are better able t carry the pr beast than he yu.” S, alighting(落地) with his sn, they tied the legs f the dnkey tgether and with the help f a ple struggled t carry him n their shulders ver a bridge near the entrance t the twn.
This entertaining sight brught the peple in crwds t laugh at it, till the dnkey, nt liking the nise nr the strange handling that he was subject t, brke the rpes that bund him and, falling ff the ple, fell int the river.

All meldies(旋律) and harmny in Western music is typically built frm just 12 ntes. Whether it's a splendid symphny, flurishing cncert r yur favurite western pp sngs, it will cntain 12 familiar tnes—and be based arund familiar intervals(间隙) between these tnes—t create the meldies we knw and lve tday.
Western music typically uses 12 ntes—C, D, E, F, G, A and B, plus five flats(降调) and equal sharps(升调) in between, which are: C sharp/D flat (they're the same nte, just named differently), D sharp/E flat, F sharp/G flat, G sharp/A flat and A sharp/B flat.
These 12 ntes have typically been used t cmpse mst f the Western music we listen t. The reasns music has landed n these specific ntes can be summed up as a cmbinatin f cnvenience, science and listener preferences.
All sunds are the result f waves, and the frequency f waves determine the pitch(音高) f sunds we hear. Pitches r ntes that sund high, fr instance, have a high frequency. But when it cmes t ur familiar 12 ntes, it's nt all abut frequency—in fact, frequency hasn't created this set f 12.
We typically use just 12 ntes in Western music because f the spaces—r intervals—between the ntes.
Pieces f music are familiar entirely because f these intervals. Think f the children's sng ‘Baa baa Black Sheep’—it's still the same ‘Baa baa Black sheep’ when yu start n the nte C as if yu start n B, r indeed if it's sung by a persn with a deep, lw vice as if it's sung by a persn with a very high vice. Fr perfrmers and music thery experts, this is what ‘transpsing(转调)’ is.
Talking abut 12 ntes in music generally applies t music frm the West and frm sme ther parts f the wrld, but certainly isn't an exhaustive system fr all music. Arabic music had a 17­tne scale. Indian classical music creates clur between ntes far beynd the limited 12 ntes. Indnesian gamelan als uses a different scale. And there are f curse many, many mre different ways music­makers have ‘split the ctave(八度音阶)’ up int different ntes t create sensatinal meldies thrughut human histry.
( )28. Which f the fllwing ntes cme between nte C and nte F sharp in crrect rder ging upwards?
A. C flat, C, D, E flat, E B. C sharp, D, D flat, E sharp, F
C. C flat, C, D, D sharp, E D. C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F
( )29. Why is the sng ‘Baa baa Black Sheep’ always the same whether yu start n the nte C r the nte B?
A. It is always sung by peple with a deep vice and then a lw vice.
B. The frequency and pitch f nte B and C are always the same.
C. The intervals between each f the 12 ntes are always the same.
D. It is always transpsed by musicians between different ntes.
( )30. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. 12 ntes in music act better than a 17­tne scale.
B. Music varies in different areas arund the wrld.
C. Western music shuld brrw sme ways frm the wrld.
D. The wrld shuld learn frm western 12­tne scale.
( )31. What's the best title f this article?
A. 12 Ntes in Western Music B. Difference Between Wrld Music
C. Hw can We Enjy Western Music? D. Why is 12 Ntes Wrld Famus?
D
Ashlee Thmas' struggles are just ne example f Instagram's ptential “txic” effect n teen girls, as highlighted in the cngressinal(国会的) testimny(证词) f Frances Haugen n Friday.
“I believe Facebk's prducts harm children, encurage divisin and weaken ur demcracy，” said Haugen, a 37­year­ld frmer Facebk prduct manager wh wrked n civic integrity issues at the cmpany.
Facebk's wn internal research, cited by Haugen, shwed “13.5% f teen girls n Instagram (Instagram is wned by Facebk) say the platfrm makes thughts f ‘Suicide and Self Injury’ wrse” and 17% say the platfrm makes “Eating Issues” such as anrexia(厌食症) wrse.
Its research als claimed Facebk's platfrms “make bdy image issues wrse fr 1 in 3 teen girls.”
“The cmpany's leadership knws hw t make Facebk and Instagram safer but wn't make the necessary changes because they have put their prfits befre peple，” Haugen said during her pening remarks. “Cngressinal actin is needed. They wn't slve this crisis withut yur help.”
Facebk CEO Mark Zuckerberg tk t the platfrm he built t defend the cmpany against Haugen's allegatins(指控), saying in a 1，300­wrd statement that the tech giant's research n its impact n children was being misrepresented.
“We care deeply abut issues like safety, well­being and mental health，” Zuckerberg wrte.
He added, “Many f the claims dn't make any sense. If we wanted t ignre research, why wuld we create an industry­leading research prgram t understand these imprtant issues in the first place？”
In a statement, Facebk dubted the interpretatin(解释) f the research and insisted the percentages are much lwer. The cmpany has als said it welcmes regulatin.
Still, thse familiar with the wrkings f the tech wrld say it will take much mre t save teens.
“Their business mdel's putting kids int these kinds f lps f engagement，” said Tristan Harris, c­funder f the Center fr Humane Technlgy. “And that's what I'm really wrried abut... that there isn't sme quick fix t this thing. It's the intrinsic(固有的) nature f the prduct.”
( )32. What issue des this article mainly talk abut?
A. Facebk's develpment prblems. B. Children's pr eating habits.
C. Facebk's pssible harm n its users. D. Instagram's business mdel.
( )33. What des the underlined wrd “txic” in the first paragraph mst prbably mean?
A. pisnus B. immediate C. beneficial D. dramatic
( )34. What is the main cnflict between Frances Haugen and Mark Zuckerberg?
A. Whether there is a Facebk internal research.
B. Whether the result f the internal research is true.
C. Whether Facebk accepts regulatin.
D. Whether Facebk cares abut its users.
( )35. What is the best structure f this passage?
A. B.


C. D.

Why nuclear physics and nt nantechnlgy(纳米技术)? Hw d we chse?
That is ur respnsibility. __40__ The imprtant questins, hwever, shuld always be: What specific skills and prir knwledge d ur children need t make sense f facts? Hw well equipped are they already t analyze all f this extra infrmatin? And hw d we change ur teaching t achieve these very different utcmes? That is the challenge facing ur schls.
A. Nr shuld we place limits n what the brain can d.
B. The Internet can be ur memry and we shuld therefre entirely rely n it.
C. At schl, these facts are usually delivered t us t prepare us fr jbs in the future.

It was the same secnd­hand bike I'd been admiring in a Baltimre Street shp windw. Smehw my mther must have scraped tgether enugh fr a dwn payment and meant t surprise me with the bicycle n Christmas mrning.
I was deeply mved by the discvery and yet sickened by the knwledge that, bursting int her rm like this, I had rbbed her f the pleasure f seeing me astnished and delighted n Christmas day. I immediately backed ut, put the key back in its hiding place, and thught ver what t d.
I decided that between nw and Christmas I must d abslutely nthing t reveal the slightest hint f my terrible knwledge. Nthing must deny her the happiness f seeing me cmpletely amazed n Christmas day. I even started practicing my surprised face in frnt f the mirrr, testing exclamatins f delight: “Ww！”“A bike with balln tires! I dn't believe it！”
The day finally came when Christmas arrived. My mther wke me and my sister early in the mrning. “G see what Santa Claus brught t yu.”
