a. the safest seat is in the front. b. the smoothest place to sit is often in the middle. c. most pilots have been struck by lightening twice. d. sit as close to the front as you can if you want to get warm.49passengers use of cellphones before landing is likely to _a. increase the risk of being struck by lightningb. make it difficult for pilots to control the planec. cause the instruments of the plane to stop workingd. mislead the pilots about the height of the planeclook carefully and youll find musicians at the top of almost any industry. the television broadcaster paula zahn( cello) and the nbc chief white house correspondent chuck todd (french horn) attended college on music scholarships; both microsofts mr. allen and the venture capitalist rogar mcnamee have rock bands. lorry page, a co-founder of google, played saxophone in high school. the former world bank president james d. wolfensohn has played cello at carnegie hall.the connection isnt a coincidence. i know because i asked. i put the question to top-flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious ( if often little-known) past lives as musicians. almost all made a connection between their music training and their professional achievements.will your school music program turn your kid into a paul allen, the billionaire co-founder of microsoft (guitar)? or a woody allen (clarinet ) ?probably not. these are outstanding achievers. but the way these and other visionaries (有远见的人) i spoke to process music is interesting.but the key question is: why does that connection exist? paul allen offers an answer. he says music “establish your confidence in the ability to create.” he began playing the violin at age 7 and switched to the guitar as a teenager. even in the early days of microsoft, he would pick up his guitar at the end of marathon days of programming. the music was the emotional analog (类比) to his day job, both of them show his different creativity. he says, “something is pushing you to look beyond what currently exists and express yourself in a new way.”for many of the high achievers i spoke with, music functions as a “hidden language,” as mr. wolfensohn calls it, one that enhances the ability to connect different or even opposite ideas. when he ran the world band, mr. wolfensohn traveled to more than 100 countries, often taking in local performances (and occasionally joining in on a borrowed cello), which helped him understand “the culture of people”.consider the qualities these high achievers say music has sharpened : cooperation, creativity, discipline and the capacity to coordinate (协调) conflicting ideas. all are qualities obviously absent from public life. music may not make you a genius, or rich, or even a better person. but it helps train you to think differently, to process different points of views - and most important, to take pleasure in listening.50. the reason why the author quote so many outstanding people as examples in the first paragraph is _. a. to prove the popularity and the charm of music b. to prove all winners are musicians before c. to encourage kids to choose school music program d. to prove the connection between success and music51. what question did the author put to top-flight professionals? a. are success related to music or not? b. why do you choose music training? c. whats the benefit of learning music? d. why do you give up the career as a musician?52. which of the following is true? a. everybody knows those well-known people are musicians before. b. musicians exist in all industries. c. music can certainly make you become a better person. d. music helps mr. wolfensohn have a better understanding of the different culture.53. the main idea of this passage is that _. a. many musicians are found at the top of almost any industry b. music plays an important role in achieving success c. music can provide a new way to express yourself d. music is an absolute necessity for everyone54. the author develops the passage mainly _. a. by classification b. by comparison c. by example d. by processdthe end of my sophomore year was approaching. mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of may. my summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa, helping out around their farm. the arrangement made good sense to all the family. i wasnt fully convinced of that myself but guessed it was just one summer. next year would be my little brothers turn. i arrived late that afternoon. grandma had fixed more food than the three of us could possibly eat. she loved me entirely too much. the next morning, grandpa fixed breakfast for the two of us. he told me grandma had tired herself out yesterday and was going to rest in bed a little longer. i made a mental note to myself to not ask her to do things for me while i was there. i was there to help, not be a burden. weeks passed. i gradually settled into a routine of daily work with grandpa. in the evenings i usually read or talked with grandma. she never grew tired of hearing about college or anything i was involved in. she told me stories about her childhood, family and the early years after she and grandpa had married. the last saturday in june, grandpa suggested going fishing. we hadnt expected what we saw when we got to the pond that morning: one of the swans was dead. grandpa had given the pair of swans to grandma on their 50th anniversary. “why dont we see about buying another one,” i suggested, hoping the situation could somehow be righted. grandpa thought for a few moments before answering. he finally said, “no. . . its not that easy, bruce. you see, swans mate for life. ” he raised his finger to point, holding the fishing pole in his other hand. “theres nothing we can do for the one thats left. he has to work it out for himself. ”a few days later, we drove by the pond while doing our morning check on the cows. we found the other swan lying near the s
