Every living thing on Earth is either a plant or an animal，right？Wrong!Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither．Some of them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．

What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇） are both fungi．

What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．

Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．

Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．

23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？　　

A．strong

B．unpleasant

C．active

D．small

24．According to the passage，　　．

A．fungi can move everywhere by themselves

B．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditions

C．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．

D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment

25．Where can you most probably find this passage？

Thank you． We miss you．

Love，

Gina

I was happy to receive a note back from her． Julie replied，"I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before， I' m going through a hard time right now， and this helps．"

It's late evening in the middle of the winter． The snow is deep， but off I go into the wild．Suddenly， I hear it： the howl（嚎叫） of wolves． Excitedly， I walk faster in the direction of the howling．

I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year． It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them． Like wolves， however， I don't work alone． I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park．

Humans have always feared wolves． From fairy tales to movies， the wolf is always the bad guy a danger to humans and other animals． In the 1920s， the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park．As a result，the number of elk（麋鹿） in the park increased． The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves．This， in turn， stopped trees from growing along the rivers， doing great harm to the environment there．

The return of wolves has already made a big difference． To begin with， the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers， so new trees have been able to grow there． The trees become home to new wildlife， such as birds， and provide food for more animals．

The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment． It has also helped the local people make more money， Tourists visit the area，stay in the local hotels， and eat in the local restaurants．

Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me， I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone．And happily，it is playing a good guy in this story．

Is there a connection between music and language？According to recent studies，the answer is yes：Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain．

A study from Northwestern University 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 found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly．

Musicians hear better， says study leader Nina Kraus， because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds． For example， when the violinists play in an orchestra（管弦乐队），they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore（忽视） the other sounds． In this way， musicians can hear certain sounds better， even in a room with lots of noise．

Gottfried Schlaug，a doctor at Harvard Medical School，works with stroke（中风） patients．Because of their illness， these people cannot say their names，addresses， or other information normally．However， they can still sing． Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak． Why does this work？Schlaug isn't sure． Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active， including the bad parts． In some way， this helps patients use those parts of the brain again．

So music is not only enjoyable， but also good for us in many other ways． Playing an instrument or singing， says Nina Kraus， can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older．

（1）What were the people in the first group asked to do in the study of Northwestern University？　　

A．Listen to different kinds of music．

B． Make some noise in an empty room．

C． Give the second group musical training．

D． Find out what the talking person was saying．

（2）The writer uses the example of violinists in Paragraph 3 to explain 　　．

A． how musicians play in an orchestra

B． how musicians ignore certain sounds

C． why musicians have better hearing ability

D． why musicians are not afraid of loud noise

（3）Gottfried Schlaug helps his stroke patients speak by 　　．

A． playing music for them

B．getting them to sing words

C． teaching them to play instruments

D． joining the bad parts of their brain

（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？　　

A． To introduce different ways of playing music．

B． To give some advice about making our brain active．

C． To show the relationship between music and language abilities．

D． To share the results of recent studies on treating stroke patients．
