In a common-place environment, at a not right hour, do we notice beauty? If so, do we stop to enjoy it? Do we know talent in an unexpected situation?

In Washington, DC, at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, the man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, about 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

A middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried off. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk. A young man leaned against (斜靠) the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again. A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother pulled him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pulled him hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent—without exception—forced their children to move quickly.

Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

After 1 hour, the musician finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate (復(fù)雜的) pieces, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.

This is a true story about a social experiment (實(shí)驗(yàn)). If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music, with one of the most beautiful instruments. How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?

1.According to the passage, you may read the questions in Paragraph 1 in ________.

A.a novel B.a film C.a poem D.a test

2.Which of the following is NOT true about the performance at the station?

A.Most of people did not notice it. B.It lasted for almost 105 minutes.

C.Every kid past was interested in it. D.It got a total of $32 in the end.

3.Which of the following is the best meaning of "applauded" underlined in Paragraph 5?

A.組織 B.服務(wù) C.喝彩 D.獻(xiàn)花

4.What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

A.Joshua Bell is the greatest musician in the world.

B.Bach's music is the most intricate for the violinists.

C.It's hard to enjoy Joshua Bell's concert in Boston.

D.It's a pity nobody enjoyed the station's performance.

5.What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage?

A.To speak highly of Joshua Bell's behavior. B.To show great interest in the music.

C.To call people to learn to enjoy beauty in life. D.To introduce a social experiment.

Today's teens have grown up online. They make friends online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.

Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically(批判性地) about online information and recognize(識(shí)別) a fake(假的) news story.

His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning(推理) at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack(缺少) ability to reason about the information on the Internet Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in ".org".

The good news is that,according to Colglazier, once teens realize they've been cheated, they have strong will to tell truth from lies. "But they need some advice on how to find evidence(證據(jù)) and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation(論據(jù))," he said. Some of the advice that Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site, the writer's motivations(動(dòng)機(jī)) and the organization behind the news story.

Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue, a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. "The Internet is both beautiful and ugly," he said. "If people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening."

1.Colglazier suggests students should __________.

A.trust the websites ending in ".org" B.pass online information along to friends

A.fake news may cause terrible results B.people should never trust online news

(①=para.1 ②=para.2 ③=para.3 ④=para.4 ⑤=para.5)

A.①; ②③; ④⑤ B.①; ②③④; ⑤ C.①②; ③④; ⑤ D.①②; ③;④⑤
