Some of the world’s most talented musicians have played concerts atLincolnCenter. On September 10, the center hosted a unique class of star musicians: kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert inNew York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were chosen from all over the world.
The World Peace Orchestra began in 2013. The nonprofit group brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition online for a group of judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.
Some of the young musicians played classical instruments, such as violins and flutes. Others played instruments unique to their home country. For example, Amold Mugo, 16, fromKenya, played an instrument called the djembe. The drum is originally fromWest Africa. Mugo said he was shocked when he learned he was chosen for the orchestra. “I can’t express how I felt. I was rolling on the floor. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.
Adomas Hendrixson, 13, fromLithuania, played piano for the WPO. Before theNew York Cityperformance, Hendrixson talked about what he hoped to take away from the event. “Fun and joy-- people smiling and clapping,” he said.“This is one of the only times in your life this could happen and I'm very excited.”
Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. “I hope when I go home, I just take a little bit of every friend that I made here-- Brazil, Portugal, Queens,” Mugo said, “I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more.” 1. Who is most likely to have played for the WPO according to this passage? A. Li Ming, 16, a student fromChina. B. Daniel, 44, a judge fromAmerica. C. Edward, 21, a clerk fromAustralia. D. Catherine, 32, a teacher fromEngland.
2. We can learn from the last paragraph that Mugo ________. A.performed best for the WPO.
B. has learned some foreign culture. C. was eager to be chosen for a second time. D. received a great award for his performance. 3. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Kids were good at playing music. B. Mugo liked making foreign friends. C. Concerts were played atLincolncentre. D. Young musicians played for peace.

We've all heard it before：to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 am and Richard Branson at 5：45 am﹣and, as we all know, \"the early bird's catches the worm. \"
But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it's a trait most of them share？And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, visualized and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life？
For about half of us, this isn't really an issue. It's estimated that some 50% of the population isn't really morning or evening﹣oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright﹣eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.
Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self﹣directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they plan for the future more and have a better sense of well﹣being.
Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive（认知）ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night﹣time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls areas healthy and wise as morning types﹣and a little bit wealthier.
Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material？Don't set your alarm for 5 am Just yet. As it turns out, overhauling（全面改革）your sleep time may not have much effect
\"If people are left to their naturally preferred time, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader, \" says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake
early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin（褪黑素）. \"Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequence. \" Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose（葡萄糖）which can cause weight gain. 4. What does the authordo in the first three paragraph？
A. raising the problem→analyzing the problem → solving the problem B. leading in the topic→challenging a viewpoint → discussing about the topic C. presenting a viewpoint → providing supporting proofs→making a conclusion D. introducing a viewpoint →raising the question→presenting author's viewpoint 5. What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph？ A. Morning types tend to have clear goals and better mood.
B. To beat night﹣time people ask them to do math calculation in themorning. C. Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.
D. Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones. 6. Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support？ A. Don't fall sleep in front of the TV. B. Avoid being regularly late for work. C. Stop setting your alarm for 5 am. D. Better not overhaul your sleep time. 7. Why does the author write this article？ A. To explain why some people are more successful.
B.To compare the differences between early risersand night owls. C. To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late. D. To argue against this view that the Carly bird catches the worm.

If you ever find yourself trapped in the wilderness without food, you'llhave to figure out how to feed yourself. Many plants in the wild areedible, but many are also poisonous. So it is necessary to learn how to determine whether the plants you find can be eaten safely.
Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if
you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level, the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poisoned.
Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice any burning, tingling (刺痛), or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and holdit in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait 8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal (活性炭) is available, take that with the water. 8. What’s the meaning of the underlined world “edible” in paragraph 1? A. Suitable for using as food. B. Widely spread. C. Existing in large quantities. D. Not widely known. 9. What can we know from paragraph 2?
A. Planning is unnecessary when using the method. B. Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally. C. Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than testing plants. D. Following the method perfectly can ensure safety. 10. Which is the correct order of testing plants in the mouth?
① wait and see ② chew it in the mouth③ put it on the tongue④ put it against lips ⑤ swallow it
A. ③④②①⑤ B. ④③②①⑤ C. ③④②⑤① D. ④③②⑤①
11. Where might the passage come from? A. A student’s diary. B. A science report. C. A guide book for camping. D. A doctor’ s notebook.

Of all the people I have encountered in my life, a person I admire most is my English teacher. Working for our class teacher, she has to work around the clock to take good care of us as well as giving lectures and grade homework. She always walks towards the bus stop, carrying a bag full of notebook or a big folder with assessment reports she makes the night before. She is the one we spend major part of our day and she is the one who constant encourages us to break barriers and to be extraordinary. We owe all of our success to him. I will not forget her instructions but I would like to express my the deepest gratitude to her.
