I believe that everyone has a dream. A dream can be great or petty,       or ordinary, good or bad. In my opinion, the real problem is not whether you have a dream, but whether you have enough      to admit that you have a dream.
Of course there are so many people who can't be     . The fact is that the No. 1 winner is just one and others are losers. The fact is that everyone       the position but only one can get it.     , we don't have enough resources which can be given to   . So, how can we do? Maybe if we hide the dreams, life can be     . Maybe we had better not    the competition,  it's so easy to fail and so hard to be a     . Maybe we should give up the dreams because it's really    to bear all the jeerers (嘲笑者) and blamers. In a word, we are often afraid of      .
But a man won't     his dream because of the fear of failure. Benjamin Franklin, we all remember him as Doctor Franklin, philosopher, patriot, scientist, philanthropist and statesman. But the most valuable things we should     is that how he peddle (叫卖) ballads (歌谣) in Boston, and how he walked the streets of Philadelphia, homeless and unknown, with three penny rolls for his breakfast. But he also had dinner at the tables of princesses, and      his friends in a palace. This poor Boston boy, with hardly a day's schooling, became master of six languages and       gave up his dream for studying. No matter      a prospect (前途) he had, he didn't fear it and still      his dream.
Every failure can make us gain new      and make us strange! Only when we beat the fear, can we really make our dreams     ! As we all know, what we fear is fear itself.

Jenny lived in a town. Her father Mr. Young, had a shop there and sold clothes in it. The shopkeeper was born in a poor family and was in school no more than a year. He was always sorry for it though he had much money now. He hoped his daughter could become a scientist. But the girl didn't like anything else except singing. She often went to the concerts, bought a lot of records the famous pop stars made and insisted on listening to the music when she was free. Of course she wanted to be a pop star, too. Her parents wanted to prevent her, but she didn't listen to them and they had to agree to her choice. They engaged an old man who was good at music as a private teacher.
Five years passed. Mr. Young bought all kinds of musical instruments for Jenny and they visited some places where the famous singers were born. Of course he spent a lot of money on it. But he found the girl didn't make any progress. At last the teacher didn't think the girl could become a singer at all and had to tell Mr. Young about it. The man became angry and said, "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? My daughter learned nothing but I paid you month after month!"
"I think you should thank me for it," said the teacher. "Another teacher, who teaches badly, is paid more than I was. And I saved much money for you!"

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into the iron music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings "talk" to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
According to Paragraph 1, students __________.

In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to __________.

According to the passage, the arts and science __________.

What is the main idea of the passage?

Daniel stays home on workdays. He starts his personal computer in order to connect with the office which is about three hundred miles away in another city. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Daniel doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (终端) in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many companies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. E-commerce, or business done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do shopping without going out of their homes.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for example, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living-rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing as well. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living-rooms.
After work, Daniel likes to __________.

The underlined sentence "Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible" means __________.

What will the writer most probably discuss after the last paragraph?

What is the main idea of the passage?

Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.
A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of "melody roads," which use cars as tuning forks (音叉) to play music as they travel.
The concept works by using grooves (凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.
Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.
Paten documents for the design describe it as notches (刻痕)  "formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody—like tones".
There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer (推土机) before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.
The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.
"You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well," wrote one Japanese blogger. "Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12 mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick."
According to the passage, melody roads use __________ to create different notes.

We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on __________.

The underlined word "optimal" in the passage might mean __________.

Among the lesson I had in my schooldays, the one given by an American is the most unforgettably. One morning, our teacher told us he had been invited an American to give us a lesson. Then a man came in. He introduced himself with English and began his class. It was different from those classes they had before. He told many funny jokes, teaching us English songs and helped us act out dialogues. He neither taught us English grammar or asked us to do written exercises. He was not serious and was always smiling us. Time went quickly and after we knew it, the class was over. I will never forget his smile and everything he does in class.

A big red barn is probably one of the first things most Americans would think of if you asked them to imagine a farm. And not a modern metal barn, but a building made of wood like the ones in the old days, a barn is where farmers keep animals and equipment. Over time, as fewer and fewer people worked the land, more and more barns were torn down to make way for developers. Others that remained might have fallen into poor condition. Or perhaps they just no longer satisfy the needs of a modern farmer. Keeping an old barn in good condition might not be seen as worth the cost if it does not serve much purpose. But Americans with historic barns are being urged to save them.
The magazines Successful Fanning and the National Trust for Historic Preservation are working together on a program called Barn Again. The National Trust is a nonprofit organization that works to protect places of historic importance in America.
The Barn Again program advises hundreds of barn owners every year. Awards are given for the projects that best succeed in restoring a bam for continued farm use. Winning buildings are used to demonstrate methods of preservation.
The organization suggests how problems with things like stone and concrete block foundations can be fixed. With many old barns, the foundation they are built on is falling apart. Barn Again also offers advice for other repairs, like how to replace siding and how to use a power washer to remove loose paint. And farmers are given suggestions about how to calculate costs.
Leo Fitzpatrick of Beaverton, Michigan, won the 2004 Barn Again Award. He made one improvement at a time. The work took more than nine years. He did it himself, even though for a while he held another job in addition to farming. He says it cost him fourteen thousand dollars, much less than a new barn of similar size.
The improvements included strengthening the barn. There are no structural supports inside the building; instead, its sides hold it up. Today the barn holds fourteen thousand bundles of hay.
Leo Fitzpatrick says the barn is a lot stronger than when it was new. His grandfather built it in 1914. And Mister Fitzpatrick says his farm would not be the same without it.
