【題目】 Music is part of every culture on Earth. Many people feel that music makes life worth living. We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument(樂器) or sing. We can hear music on CDs or tapes, on radio or television and even on the Internet.

Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, or excite us. Music can make us feel happy, sad, excited or calm-all kinds of feelings. But what is it? Some people describe it as an artful form of sounds across time. These sounds might be loud or soft, high or low, quick and short, or slow and long. The sounds need to keep on for some time in some kinds of forms to become music.

Music, like language, is a special human form of communication. Also like language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way. What we think of music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound strange to someone from another culture. It might not even sound like music. And also you can find that every country has its own typical instruments to show their traditional music. Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. In this way music from one part of the world could influence music from another part.

Music goes along with many of our activities. We dance to music. We sing songs at school. Many of us exercise to music. We hear music in cars and stores. Music comes with many important moments. Music pleases us. We listen to slow music, spiritual music, pop music, rock music, and opera. We have favorite performers. We hear music as the background in movies. Perhaps we go to the theater to see a musical movie---play with music, singing, and often with dancing. Music is part of our lives.

【題目】Answer the questions(根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題)

Mary Donaldson is worried about her 16-year-old daughter, Sophia. Six months ago, Sophia came back from a party, upset and unhappy. From then on, she thought of nothing but how to lose weight and become beautiful. She refused to eat and kept on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet, Mary encouraged her. She felt that her daughter would look more attractive if she lost 10 kilograms. However, Sophia has lost 20 kilograms until now. Her eating and exercising habits are having a harmful effect on her health. She is too thin and is often sick.

Her mother is trying to prevent her from going on a diet and losing weight, but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to eat as usual. Sophia’s mind is full of the idea of looking like a model(模特). Every day she goes to a club to do exercise. When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like “Fashion & Beauty”(《時尚與美》). The models in these magazines are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says, “If I look like models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”

Mary doesn’t know how to help her daughter. She feels sorry for having encouraged her at first, because Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body. She’s afraid that Sophia will never be happy if she keeps comparing herself with the models in the magazines. Mary tries to tell Sophia that true beauty comes from within. Common people are not supposed to look like models. The most ordinary face becomes beautiful when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life.

1When did Sophia decide to lose weight?

2Besides doing exercise, what else did Sophia do to lose weight?

3How much weight has Sophia lost until now?

4Does Sophia eat as usual after she has lost some weight?

5Why does she spend much time reading the magazine “Fashion & Beauty ”?

6Do you think Sophia really understands the meaning of the true beauty? Why?
