It is like the spoken language, but it uses sounds. Today’s program brings together music from different corners of the world. Who invented music? Who sang the first song?

As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running    on the grass as his mother   from a short distance.

The boy would then fall to the grass,    up, without looking back at his mother, run as    as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened .
At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even  a second attempt. They would be so         that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good      for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a    experience. They try again and again until they  . The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a    , they are not discouraged in any way. Besides, they _   think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make     , so they remain energetic.

Top student Lin Yijian had a problem recently. The 14-year-old boy from Xiamen used to get marks of over 110 points (out of 120 possible points) on his math tests. But during last semester's final exams, his math score was only 90 points.
It was a shock. "I didn't know what happened," said Lin, who kept feeling nervous and frustrated about math during the following month.
Like Lin, many of us have setbacks (挫折) in life. What would you do to deal with these setbacks? Would you just let them be and give up?
Lin chose to face his problem. His parents and teacher also gave him help. After some hard work he now gets marks between 100 and110 points on his math tests. Although he still isn't at his original (原來的) level, Lin doesn't panic anymore.
"Don't be scared by setbacks," he said. "You will beat it."

Feeling worried, Chen decided to do something. She did sit-ups for half an hour every day after school. Now, after a month, she can do 30 sit-ups a minute.

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view (觀察) of the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted non-stop between themselves. I watched them a moment and knew the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience. I met with them several times. Each time I heard her words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended (延長) it into a long stick and then tapped (輕敲) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷句子正(T)、誤(F)。(5分)
【小題1】The young couple were at an art museum to show their love.
【小題2】“…I moved away quickly.” shows that the writer was tired of the non-stop talking.
【小題3】We can infer (推斷) from the passage that the husband couldn’t stand his wife.
【小題4】 After hearing what the clerk had said, the writer was annoyed.
【小題5】The passage is mainly about courage of a blind man and the love between the couple.

Now you’ve finished three years of English study. There’s one way to demonstrate(展示) what you’ve learned－take a test!
Do you have any special methods you use to help you do better on a test? How well you do is often a matter of how well prepared you are. Here are some ways to make sure you’re at your best on test days.
Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You want to be rested and wide-awake for test day.
Have a good breakfast. Test day isn’t a morning for donuts. Nor is it a time to starve(挨餓) yourself. Eat plenty of low-sugar, high-energy food to keep your brain and body working their best.
Be prepared. Make sure you have two pencils and anything else you were asked to bring.
Watch the numbers. Make sure that the number of the items(項目) on your answer sheet matches the number of the question.
Look over all the answer choices. Don’t assume(假定) that choice A is correct until you’ve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate(排除) any choice that you can see at once. You’ll have a better chance of finding the right answer.
Check the clock. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to answer every question and go back and check your answers. Don’t spend too much time on any difficult question. Skip it and come back to it later.
Keep up with your schoolwork all year long. That’s how you get the skills you need for
taking test.
【小題1】 Is taking a test a way to demonstrate what you’ve learned?
【小題2】 How many ways are mentioned in this passage?
【小題3】 What should you take to prepare for a test?
【小題4】What do you do if you meet any difficult question?
【小題5】What’s the passage mainly about?
