To water his flowers,
4、 heused two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and worn-out one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best. Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. Th
5、e new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path. Sometimes the new bucket would say,“See how capable I am! How goo
6、d it is that thegardener has me to water the flowers every day! I dont know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!” And all that the old bucket could say was.“I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use i
7、n me, at least.” One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual he said“You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.” Then the two buckets did so. All along the path,they noticed,on

10、st condition. C. Because it was taken as a treasure. D. Because it had its own function. B Its 5:00 in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstair
11、s while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into myeyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a
12、 smile is on my face. Its not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit. Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Ot
13、hers get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by myno, thank you, or by my preference for a salad. Over the years, I have learned its okay to just sayno. I shouldnt feel sorry for refusing food that I dont want to eat. So
14、what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends(延伸) life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where
15、 a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.

CWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people
19、 seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先).This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who cre
20、ate it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from Ameri
21、can musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need eve
22、ry possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings talk to each other. They are the language of civ
23、ilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as mus
24、ic, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people s

28、as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics. In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the decline of class and classless society in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too
29、early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally a
30、nd politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification(分层). One unchanging aspect of a British persons class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during the 1970s found tha
31、t a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded educated and soft. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as common and ugly. However, a similar
32、study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice(偏见). In recent years, however, young upper mi
33、ddle-class people in London have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live like common people they ca
34、n never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.22.A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain _. A.it is time to end class distinction B.most people belong to middle class C.it is easy to recognize a persons class D.people regard themselves socially different23.The study in
