Now students'English handwriting gets worse and worse．That makes their teachers feel worried．Is your English handwriting beautiful？If not，here are four steps that really work!
◆Use paper that has lines
Using paper that has lines can keep you writing straight when you write English words or sentences．（52） ．Be sure to fill the lined space completely．And make sure those capital letters（大写字母） are written properly．
◆Slow down
If your writing is hard to read，try slowing down a little．（53） If you write too fast，it's hard for you to stop where you should，and even worse，you may make more mistakes．
◆（54）
When you hold your pencil the correct way，writing is much easier．Some kids press（按，压） down really hard when they write．That makes the handwriting not nice．Try to relax yourself and don't hold the pencil so hard．Let your writing appear nice and clean．If you do so，people will guess you are a student with a good habit．
◆Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting．You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures．Even though you have no chance to draw at school，you can practice by yourself at home．
（55） Imagine you are a world﹣famous movie star or a well﹣known sports player，what do you do went fans run up to you？Give them your autographs （亲笔签名），of course!

A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement．Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical（古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to．
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW．Robert Walker，argues that all students should study the works of Western chassical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky．
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage（遗传）because they fail to study classical music，as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop．The lack（缺乏）of music teaching is serious，especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist（专业的）music teachers．
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions，but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools．
"I'm not against pop music，but it's very simple，and not difficult either to play or to sing．"Professor Walker says．"But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australias's culture heritage，most children learn it only through Hollywood films．"
"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture．It's part of culture heritage，"he says．"Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West．"
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain，Canada and Australia and is a former chief（首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education．Professor Walker says no school curriculum（课程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study，such as the Mendelssohn's．
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music，others on Elvis Presley，or on any music the teacher wants to teach．The situation should be changed as soon as possible，"he says．
81．What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion？
A．Children know nothing about their culture heritage．
B．Classical music education isn't valued in schools．

84．Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker？
A．He worries about the music education in schools．
B．He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed．
C．He is well known in Western classical music teaching．

85．From the last paragraph，we can learn that ．
A．Music teachers should teach anything that they like．

C．Music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all．
D．Children's music education today depends on their teacher's taste．
In life，everyone once struggles for a dream，whether it's successful or not．I still clearly remember one day when I was in high school，I saw on a website that China's Got Talent's mass﹣election （海选）for the best singers was going on．I was very excited and decided to go and try out．But it wasn't as easy as I had thought．When I got there，I saw at least 100 people already waiting in line．My hands started to sweat and shake as my turn got close．I got up and started singing，but I sang so badly that I stopped before I even finished the song．Afterwards I quickly said goodbye to my friends and walked home crying．I thought that I would never be able to show my face in public again．
However，after about a year，that terrible experience became a funny memory．I realized that I didn't need to care about losing that dream，because I made a new and more realistic one．I'm good at English，as well as other subjects．I made it my goal to get accepted into Columbia University．Columbia is hard to get into，and about 1，300 students from all over the world are accepted every year．Though it is hard to get into，I think my dream will come true someday by working hard!

One day，I took an underground to work，I saw something that made me very sad．On the tube（underground in London），a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her．The little girl，about 5 years old，was talking to her mother about her day，repeating the next stop's name cheerfully，praising her mother's long nails﹣﹣﹣trying to draw her mother's attention．Her mother just nodded and mumbled"Mm，hm"with her eyes glued to the screen，busy passing the levels of the game．I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her，but it was no use．Then the little girl turned silent．It was a shame the mother didn't notice that．
It broke my heart and got me wondering﹣﹣﹣what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world，the human she created，the person she loves with all her heart？What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl？
Some parents are almost like the teenagers，always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook．Perhaps parents have many things to deal with，but sometimes they are everything to their kids．
This is not an isolatedexample．I've seen too many such examples．I might not be a parent myself，and probably still have a long way before becoming one，but I know what I saw isn't right．
The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones．Look how the situation has changed!The parents have become"technology slaves"，that is to say，they can't control themselves while using mobile phones．Now some middle﹣aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones，which are probably the only two brands they know．They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones，I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry．But my hope is that this storm passes．

B．The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent．
C．The writer has much experience about being a parent．

A．spreading fast
B．happening once
C．increasing quickly
D．appearing suddenly
34．In the passage，the writer mainly wants to express ．
A．the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones
B．the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology
C．the sadness that the best smart phones cost parents too much money
D．the hope that parents use new technology like smart phones properly
35．What's the best title of the passage？
A．Middle﹣aged parents
B．A scene on the tube
C．Technology slaves
D．Mindless phone games．

Yearbooks in the United States

They yearbook also has photos and descriptions of extracurricular activities．These are activities that students do after school，such as the chess club and Spanish club．There is even a yearbook club．Students in this club write，design and take photos all year for the yearbook．
In the yearbook，some students receive special titles，The seniors vote and choose the"class clown"（a funny student ），the"most likely to succeed"（a student who got the best grades ），and the"best dressed"（a student with a good fashion sense ）．There are also other awards．
Students usually sign each other's yearbooks，This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating．Students write notes to each other，such as，"We had a lot of fun，"or because they are graduating．Students write notes to each other，such as，"We had a lot of fun，"or"I'll never forget you．"They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together．

A man in Pakistan is now working to help children get an education．When he was a child，he did not go to school because he was too poor．
It is reported that Pakistan has 25million children who do not go to school．That is the second highest number in the world．Only Nigeria has more．Many Pakistani children must work to support their families．
Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children．He is now a firefighter．He also manages a small school．VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad．
Ayub started with just one student in 1982．He saw a boy cleaning cars for days．He asked him，"Why don't you go to school？"The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters．
Ayub was also an orphan and he，too，had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters．He said，"When my father died，everyone who came to the funeral said they were sorry，but no one helped．"He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters．
Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars，but he did not have enough money to pay the boy's school fees．

Today，Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park．Some of the children attend other schools in the morning，but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework．

Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．
The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands，she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．
The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit，who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him，and that is where her adventures begin．
In English，chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation．
Then，as she runs after the rabbit，she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．
To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However，usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．
Later in the story，Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March，which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically，this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad，or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）！
Near the end of the story，Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．
32．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？
A．When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto the ground．
B．When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programmed as usual．
C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on superstars．
D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．
33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare ．
A．describes how hares behave in March
B．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific way
C．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．
D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter
34．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？
A．Alice
B．The March Hare
C．The Hatter
D．The Queen of Hearts．
35．The writer mainly wants to in the passage．

The balalaika， also called "Russian guitar"，is a traditional Russian musical instrument．It has a long neck，a wooden triangle shaped body and strings．It is usually used to play Russian music by plucking the strings with fingers or a pick．
Russians like the balalaika．The music played with it can be cheerful，as if the farmers were dancing happily to celebrate their harvest． It can also be energetic，as if the workers were working hard to make their country richer and stronger．If a Russian moves to live or work abroad， he will probably take a balalaika with him． When he feels lonely and sad， he will play it to cheer himself up．
The balalaika was originally played by the poor in Russia． At that time， balalaikas were made by the players themselves． They were rough， simple and cheap with different numbers of strings， from two to even six．Later a Russian musician Vasily Vasil'yevich Andreev（1861 ﹣ 1918）improved the balalaika． He created a whole family of balalaikas of different sizes，all with three strings．The smallest balalaika is called Prima．It is 60﹣70cm long． The biggest， Contrabass， is almost 2 metres high with a leg to sit on the floor． Andreev founded the first balalaika orchestra" in the world， mainly using balalaikas to perform． He gave concerts at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1889， which was a great success．
