He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing operatic selections and popular songs on the piano. Three years later Roussels grandfather died, and his mothers sister took him in. Her husbandarranged for young Albert to take piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside added a second love to his life the sea. He studied to be a soldier in the navy, but still made time to study music.In the French Navy, he and two friends found time to play the music of Beethoven and other composers. Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first public appearance as a composer. That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow naval officers offered to show it to a famous conductor, Edouard Colonne. When Roussels friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.Not long afterward, at the age of 2S, Roussel did just that. He applied the qualities that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music.

The word caught the attention of the dictionarys editing team after BBCs recent program on influential Chinese words. “If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team.In Chinese tu means uncouth (笨拙的) and hao means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in Chinas countryside. The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apples new gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by Chinas rich people.

Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese words dama and hukou which may also make it into the dictionary.People can have an intuitive (直观的) grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, Kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,” she said. Some of them are: Guanxi, which means “connection”; Taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.The new words will be first uploaded on the official websitebefore the dictionaries arrive.

If you never try anything new, how can you improve, how can you expand, and how can you innovate? The simple answer is “You cant”. _37_ With very few exceptions, everything you see in your physical world is The result of someone trying something new. Every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new. The chair youre sitting on; the fabric on the chair; the pattern on the fabric on the chair; the dye in thepattern on the fabric on the chair are all the direct result of someone trying something new. _38_ Consider this: Edison failed l0 000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadnt failed t0 00 times, but rather had learned I0 000things that didnt work. Finally, when you make a mistake you are that much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeed. _39_ _40_ Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that, in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again. There is an old axiom that goes, “if youre not making mistakes, youre not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes, and learn, and grow, and prosper.A. First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.B. Look around you.C. Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning.D. Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.E. But this all doesnt mean that you should forge ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake.F. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.来源:学*科*网G.

To his 61 (puzzle), his three-year-old son was 62 (happy) hammering dents(凹痕) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boys hands into pulp(果浆汁) as 63 (punish). When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. 64 the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from both the boys hands. When the boy 65 (wake) up from the operation and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, Im sorry about your truck.” Then he asked, “ 66 when are my fingers going to grow back?”The father went home and committed suicide.Think about this story 67 next time someone steps on your feet or you wish to take revenge. Think first 68 you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can 69 (repair). Broken bones and hurt feelings often cant. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is 70 (great) than revenge.People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will impress us forever. 评卷人得分六、短文改错71短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。来源:学+科+网In the countryside there are some children dropped out of school.
