【題目】 Did you take part in a camp last summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.

Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals—opportunity，challenge and growth. They are results that all campers are trying to achieve.

Opportunity means you can get a situation in which it is possible for you to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism (新聞)camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.

Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in dealing with the challenge. Then you will have a sense of achievement. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (證書)to become a real lifeguard.

This also leads to the third and most important goal of very great summer camp—personal growth. It doesn't mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn't know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident (自信的)in yourself.

So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?

But what about friendship, fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!

【1】What does the writer suggest to do first when choosing a camp?

A.Do some research.B.Deal with the challenge.

C.Think about the results.D.Know your own interests.

【2】The underlined word “opportunity" in the passage probably means "

A.skillB.chanceC.customD.direction

【3】The word 'Task" in the fourth paragraph refers to (指的是)“

A.a camp that you must chooseB.a famous person that you will meet

C.an activity that may be a bit difficultD.an achievement that you have ever got

【4】The most important thing for a camper is to _______________.

A.have funB.make new friends

C.grow taller and strongerD.become better and more confident

【5】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Who Is the Best Camper?B.How to Organize a Camp?

【題目】 Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain.

A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly.

Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra（管弦樂隊）, they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore(忽視)the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise.

Gotfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中風)patients.

Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally However, they can till sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again.

So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older.

【1】What were the people in the first group asked to do in the study of Northwestern University?

A.Listen to different kinds of music.B.Make some noise in an empty room.

C.Give the second group musical training.D.Find out what the talking person was saying.

【2】The writer uses the example of violinists in Paragraph 3 to explain________.

A.how musicians play in an orchestraB.how musicians ignore certain sounds

C.why musicians have better hearing abilityD.why musicians are not afraid of loud noise

【3】Gottfried Schlaug helps his stroke patients speak by________.

A.playing music for themB.getting them to sing words

C.teaching them to play instrumentsD.joining the bad parts of their brain

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce different ways of playing music.

B.To give some advice about making our brain active.

C.To show the relationship between music and language abilities.

D.To share the results of recent studies on treating stroke patients.
