The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson.She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other.In the middle of her desk was a large，round object.I could clearly see that it was black.She asked the boy what color the object was.“White，”he answered.I couldnt believe he said the object was white，when it was obviously black！Another argument started between my classmate and me.Seeing this，the teacher told us to change places，and this time I found the object was white.It was an object with two differently colored sides，and from his side it was white. Only from my side it was black.Sometimes we need to look at a problem from the other persons view in order to truly understand that persons viewpoint.21.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Black or white B. Teacher or studentC. Experiment or gameD. Argument or quarrel B From old times，crows（乌鸦）have been famous for their cleverness. They use tools，work out problems，and even enjoy playing. Scientists have studied carefully how crows go about these activities. To make tools，crows cut off leaves with their “mouths”，shape them，and use them to look for bugs(虫子）in wood or plants. Just as a carpenter carries his tools with him，a crow will carry its tool around. When the leaf isnt needed for the moment，the bird stores the tool at its feet or somewhere else. To test wild crowsabilities to work out problems，scientists placed food outdoors in covered bowls. They watched with interest as the birds smartly opened the bowls to get the food. Scientists also found out that crows can make use of the traffic. For example，crows would drop a nut on the road and wait for a car to run over the nut to break it. Besides，crows seem to enjoy playing. Young crows will carry a stick or nut into the air，drop it，and fly to catch the object as it falls. So just how smart are crows? Perhaps a crow will never do tricks as a dog will.But scientists agree that theres a lot going on in the brain of a clever crow.25.

IntroductionDiscussionConclusion D Patti Page, the topselling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 3rd, 2013, when she was 86. She was one of the most beloved singers of the postwar era. Take her The Tennessee Waltz for example, it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit. Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in mercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15minute program. At age 20, Page was discovered by bigband leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to bee her manager. In 1948, she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including With My Eyes Wide Open, Im Dreaming and Old Cape Cod. Her last hit was HushHush, Sweet Charlotte, recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then, there was Doggie in the Window. The creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s. Throughout the 1950s, Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program The Big Record. The following year, Page appeared in her own CBS television series, The Patti Page Show. She continued to record and perform into the 21st century, most recently releasing an album of songs for children, a Christmas record, and a new “best” of collection. Besides music, Patti Page did a bit of acting. She costarred with the Oscarwinning Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry, and also starred on stage in the musical play Annie Get Your Gun.33According to the passage, Patti Page _Awanted to be a singer as a child Bwas born in a small town in 1927Cwas known mainly for her acting skills Dstarted her work as a TV program hostess34According to the passage, which of her following recorded songs was criticized?AOld Cape Cod.
