Last week, three days of cold rain had everyone in our house feeling a bit bad-tempered, especially my kid, who couldn’t go out to play. Then the music app on my phone recommended a station called “Rainy Day Jazz.” As the soft piano played, my daughter and I hugged closely, feeling comfortable and relaxed. Suddenly, our day was enjoyable. It turned out that Rainy Day Jazz was just the thing we needed.

Life — especially life with young children — can often feel very busy and rushed. One of the great benefits of music is that it offers a safe and dependable place to feel our feelings. When we are afraid, sad, or happy, we can invite music in. Kids can be great at expressing their emotions, but they don’t always have the ability to regulate them and move through them. When kids engage with music, a sense of emotional security is increased, allowing them to feel safer to fully experience their feelings.

Music has been a community practice throughout human history. Studies show that in early childhood, playing music in groups can increase cooperation skills and a sense of social belonging. In Pinkalicious and Peterrific, an educational children’s TV series, Peter is eager to share his musical experiences with others. Together, Pinkalicious and Peter make up their own happy song to sing and play, which cheers up the whole town.

Music is for everyone. Lots of parents feel like they don’t have enough talent for music. Actually, they should let go of their insecurities about what they think music should be. Kids will love singing, dancing, and playing music with you no matter how it sounds. What’s the most important is to get them emotionally engaged.

Ready to rock and roll? Here are some ways your family can interact with music. Make music accessible. You can empower your child to use music as an emotional support by giving them access to the tools they need. Talk about music. You can help your child explore the relationship between music and emotions by talking openly about your own relationship with music. Get your bodies moving. Children experience music in their bodies — not just in their minds! Music and movement are partners.

24. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. Kids are able to adjust their emotions.

B. Kids do well in showing their feelings.

C. Music benefits children in many aspects.

D. Music is a safe way to experience emotions.

25. What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning a TV series?

A. Music creates connection. B. Playing music brings fun.

C. Cooperation skills are vital. D. Children are eager for music.

26. What does the author suggest parents do?

A. Get rid of unnecessary worry. B. Become more skilled in music.

C. Purchase expensive instruments. D. Get to know their own limitations.

27. How many ways of interacting with music are introduced?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

C

It’s no secret that our jobs can have a major impact on our lives outside of work. But what many employers don’t realize is that how employees spend their time at work can have substantial spillover effects on their children.

To explore the impact of parents’ work on their children’s development, my team conducted a study that followed more than 370 low-wage, working-class families over more than ten years. We intentionally focused on low-wage families, as they generally receive far less attention in the work-family literature while facing some of the greatest challenges. We, therefore, could get more authentic data. We completed in-home interviews and first-hand observations of parent-child interactions with strict assessments and reports from parents and teachers.

The data showed that parents who experienced more autonomy on the job and who had more-supportive managers and coworkers were in turn warmer and more engaged when interacting with their kids. Checking back in with these families years later, we consistently saw that the children of employees who had had more-positive work experiences in their first years as parents had better reading and math skills, and better social skills.

So it is important to promote workers’ physical and mental health. Some organizations tend to focus on high-level policy changes such as flexible scheduling options, more paid leave, etc. And to be sure, these systemic initiatives are certainly important. But our research suggests that ensuring workers feel respected and supported in their daily work is often just as critical. That means employers should give employees the time and space to share their experiences and ideas. In this way, employers will ensure workers feel buoyant in their daily work. The workers will feel bright and lively, enjoying more autonomy and respect.

Ultimately, how companies treat their workers today will determine how the next generation grows up tomorrow. That means building workplaces that value the welfare of working parents — and that of their kids, too.

28. Why did the study choose the low-wage families?

A. To tackle their problems.

B. To give them more attention.

C. To learn more truth about the poor.

D. To make the study more convincing.

29. What do some organizations usually give particular attention to?

A. Humanity. B. Policies. C. Social systems. D. Moral standards.

30. What does the underlined word “buoyant” mean in paragraph 4?

A. Romantic. B. Cheerful. C. Innocent. D. Dominant.

31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Parents’ Experience at Work Impacts Their Kids

B. Working Parents Devote Little to Their Children

C. Employers Should Care for Employees’ Families

D. Companies Are Responsible for Workers’ Health

D

As a junior economics reporter, I was once given an assignment to write a story about an economic concept I didn’t really understand. Just then, Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator, walked past my desk. I took a deep breath and asked him. He explained it clearly in a few sentences, and if he thought I was a silly man because I had asked, he never made me feel that way. Ever since then, I have been a big believer in asking “stupid” questions, by which I mean questions that you fear make you look stupid. But I’m worried this is a dying art.

Best questions from students, the ones that they worry might be silly but are actually very useful, tend to come during breaks or on the walk between buildings after the lecture has ended. When teaching moved online, those opportunities disappeared. But many academics discovered online tools actually made it easier for some, students to ask questions. Platforms like Mentimeter added an extra layer of comfort by allowing students to ask questions without stating their identities. Some academics have integrated these online tools into their face-to-face lectures.

There is clearly some value in this. But what if we are losing something too? The more we use technology to remove ourselves from the discomfort of asking questions, the more fearful we might grow about doing it face to face. One academic got so frustrated by the silence in lectures that he brought in a softball and told his students, “I’m going to throw this out and whoever catches it has to ask me a question. Any question.” He said they looked at the ball like it was a hand bomb.

Yet asking someone questions face to face can be the best way to ensure you really understand something. I know not everyone is lucky enough to have a Martin Wolf wandering by. But most people really don’t mind being asked something “stupid”. If they do, it is probably because they don’t really understand it themselves, or they have something to hide. In that sense, you learn something useful either way.

32. Why does the author describe his own experience in paragraph 1?

A. To prove his belief.  B. To praise Martin Wolf.

C. To speak of his worry. D. To share his experience.

33. What does the author think of online questioning tools?

A. They are extra comforting.

B. They are potentially harmful.

C. Their performance was terrible.

D. Their value is beyond imagination.

34. How did the students feel when looking at the ball?

A. Calm. B. Excited. C. Anxious. D. Surprised.

35. Which statement will the author probably agree with?

A. Be confident, be successful.

B. Communicate in a clever way.

C. Don’t be foolish in front of others.

D. Ask more questions, understand better.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When you say, “You shouldn’t do that,” to a teenager, your feedback (反馈) is likely to be met with an eye roll. By the time kids turn into teens, they don’t think they need much help from adults — especially their parents.    36  

It’s important for your teens to be able to hear constructive criticism without automatically becoming defensive.    37    They’ll need your advice on how they can improve their chances of success. But before they can take that advice, they’ll have to be open to listening to it.    38    Every time you give your teens constructive criticism, you give them an opportunity to grow and change.

If you’re offering constructive feedback, view your role as a guide. Point out what your teen did well while adding what she/he could do better next time. Besides, point out mistakes in a gentle manner. It can help them see that mistakes aren’t something they should be ashamed of.    39    They can learn how to bounce back from failure.

   40    If your teens don’t trust you when you are giving them feedback, they won’t listen to what you have to say. Rather than thinking about how to apply your feedback to their life, they’ll invest their energy into thinking why your advice doesn’t matter. If your teens respect you, they’ll have respect for your opinion.

It must be noted that after you’ve expressed your concern, ask your teens for their opinion. Showing a willingness to listen to them can go a long way toward encouraging them to listen to you.

A. Listen to your teens’ opinion.

B. It could help them become a better person.

C. Instead, they can use it as a learning opportunity.

D. Your teens need to know how to improve their social skills.

E. For constructive criticism, a healthy relationship is necessary.

F. Then, they’ll need to be able to be open to changing their behavior.

G. However, constructive criticism can be essential to your teens’ welfare.

In 1968, many precious relics were unearthed in the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty including the Changxin Palace Lamp, which is acknowledged    56    “the first lamp of China”.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

We moved to Jabalpur and it was to be my first day at the new school. I was hesitant to go because I had no friends there. Besides, my limp made me mindful. I was worried that my classmates might laugh at me. It would be terrible when they made fun of me. “You are a brave girl. I’m sure your classmates will understand. Now, run along. Daddy will take you to school,” said my mother.

On reaching school, my father took me to the headmaster’s office. Later, I was taken to my class. On the way I noticed some children staring at me and laughing. I was miserable. My limp became more pronounced and I wanted to go home. But with mother’s words in mind I managed to walk to the class.

The teacher introduced me to the class and said, “Anuradha, go and sit on that chair in the front row. The girl next to you is Mala.” She was good-looking and I liked her. During lunch break, I asked Mala, “Where do you live?” Mala did not answer. I thought she had not heard me. I was about to repeat my question when Mala began to tell other classmates how she had learnt to swim. I moved closer to her and said, “I also swim.” She just ignored me. I felt abused. What hurt me most was that they went to play basketball during the games periods, saying I could not play.

When I reached home that afternoon, I burst into tears when hearing my mother’s first question “How was your day, Anu?” I told her my classmates didn’t like me and that they didn’t allow me to play basketball with them. Mummy gathered me in her arms. “Now, Anu, don’t cry. Give them a couple of days. Do your work well and be friendly and you’ll see things will work out differently.” Seeing me depressed, she added, “You are a good swimmer. Why don’t you go swimming during the games periods? I’ll write a permission letter to your teacher.” At this, I jumped with joy.
