It’s Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the cinema and have dinner together. Just as you start to go, your dad reminds you it’s your aunt’s birthday and the whole family are going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this end with a quarrel?
The tension between teenagers and their family mainly comes from the struggle to balance what they want with family hopes. You once spent most of your free time with your parents. When you want to spend more and more time with your friends, your parents may be upset. They feel you may be out of control. And you might feel angry that so many family requirements are placed on you. Here are a few things you can try to ease the tension between you and your family.
l Tell your plan to your parents in advance and ask them whether they have anything else to add to your plan.
l When your buddy activities interfere with a family event, try to find a way to do both. You can spend a little time with each group. You can go to the family event and ask to be with your friends next time. You can also invite your friends to the family event.
l Suggest doing something with your family. When your parents know you want to spend time with them, they will feel better.
The results cannot always make both satisfied. Anyway, the tension can be eased if you consider the feelings of your family as well as those of yourself and your friends.

Is there a connection between music and language?According to recent studies, the answer is yes: music improves certain language abilities in the brain. Here, we look at two examples.
Music and Hearing
A recent study by researcher Nina Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
Musicians hear better, says Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐队). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument(乐器) and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and ignore the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to concentrate on(集中注意力于) certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Music and Speaking
Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with patients who have stroke(中风). Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to activate (激活)different parts of the brain, including the damaged parts. This somehow helps patients to use that part of the brain again.
Understanding the Results
Music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older. Music, she adds, is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.
57. What two groups did Nina Kraus study?
A. Noisy people and quiet people.
B. Violinists and other musicians.
C. Musicians and non-musicians.
D. People with hearing problems and people without hearing problems.
58. What does they refer to in Paragraph 3？
A. Orchestra musicians.
B. Instruments.
C. The sounds of the orchestra.
D. Violinists.
59. How does Gottfried Schlaug help stroke patients speak?
A. By getting them to play an instrument.
B. By asking them to sing words.
C. By playing music for them.
D. By repeating their names and other information.
60. Which tyoe of improvement is NOT mentioned in the reading?
A. Memory.
B. Sleep.
C. Listening skills.
D. Language ability.
61. What is the best title of the passage?
A. How to Be a Musician.
B. Playing in an Orchestra.
C. The Power of Music.
D. Trained to Listen.

Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe lived together in a pretty little cottage built of wood, quite close to Mr. Shelby's big house.The little cottage was covered with climbing roses, and the garden was full of beautiful bright flowers and lovely fruit trees.Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe lived happily for many years in their little cottage, or cabin, as it was called. All day Uncle Tom used to work in the fields, while Aunt Chloe was busy in the kitchen at Mr. Shelby's house. When evening came they both went home to their cottage and their children, and were merry together.
  Mr. Shelby was a good man, and kind to his slaves, but he was not very careful of his money. When he had spent all he had, he did not know what to do to get more. At last he borrowed money from a man called Haley, hoping to be able to pay it back again some day.
   But that day never came. Haley grew impatient, and said, “If you don't pay what you owe me, I will take your house and lands, and sell them to pay myself back all the money I have lent to you.”
So Mr. Shelby sold everything he could spare and gathered money together in every way he could think of, but still there was not enough.Then Haley said, “Give me that slave of yours called Tom—he is worth a lot of money.”
 But Mr. Shelby knew that Haley was not a nice man. He knew he did not want Tom for a servant, but only wanted to sell him again, to make more money. So Mr. Shelby said, “No, I can't do that. I never mean to sell any of my slaves, least of all Tom. He has been with me since he was a little boy.”
   “Oh very well,” said Haley, “I shall sell your house and lands, as I said I should.”
 Mr. Shelby could not bear to think of that, so he agreed to let Haley have Tom. He made him promise, however, not to sell Tom again except to a kind master.
“Very well,” said Haley, “but Tom isn't enough. I must have another slave.'”Just at this moment a little boy came dancing into the room.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Su Shi isn’t a strange name to us, as we learn his ci in textbooks. This year marks the 920th anniversary(周年) of his death.
Su is one of the most popular ancient writers. He was good at almost all kinds of writings and art, including poems, ci and prose(散文) as well as calligraphy and painting. But Su was not only respected for his talent, but also for his optimistic(乐观的) attitude toward life.
When he was young, he passed the imperial exams(科举考试) and earned the degree of Jinshi(进士). After that, he became an official.
Sadly, Su was demoted (贬谪) to serve in remote(偏远) areas because of false accusations(诬陷). But he was not too discouraged.
First, he went to Huangzhou, in today’s Hubei. There, he tried to enjoy life in the countryside. He farmed a piece of land which he called “Dongpo”. This is why people call him “Dongpo”. It’s said that he also invented Dongpo Pork, a famous Chinese dish, during this period. Many of his best poems were written there, too, including Tune: Calming the Waves (《定风波》). Its line “ Impervious to wind, rain or shine, I’ll have my will(归去！也无风雨也无晴)” showed his open-minded attitude.
Su was also demoted to Danzhou, in today’s Hainan. In the beginning, he couldn’t get used to the hot,wet weather. He also couldn’t understand the local language. Instead of getting sad, he set up schools and got along well with the locals. Many people traveled from afar to visit him.
