or sad or afraid. They say welcome when a dolphin comes back to the school. They talk when they
play.

hear these sounds because they are very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study .them,

     We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to
work for themselves. They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they
want and what they know, and understand what others tell them. They learn foreign languages in order to
be able to understand the people from other countries and make themselves understood. They learn
history to know something about human beings they meet every day. What they learn at school is, of
course, quite useful, but is that the only reason (原因) why they go to school?
     No. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school, above all, to learn how to
learn, so that when we have left school, we can continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn
will always be successful, because whenever he has to do something new, he will quickly teach himself
how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something
new, or does it badly. So the purpose (目的) of school is not just to teach the students these useful
subjects but teach the way to learn.

阅读理解。     Basketball is a young game though it is over a hundred years old.  In the year of 1891, a certain
college was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was bad. They had to stay indoors.
As they could not take part in their usual outdoor sports, they were unhappy, and some of them even
got into fights from time to time.  Finally, one of the teachers at the college asked Dr. Naismith to invent
a game so that the students might have something to play. It was not easy to invent a game because it had
to be played indoors, and the court was not very large.  Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, exciting game with much moving and passing of the ball. Usually two teams played the game.,  In order to make a score, the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet above the floor on the wall. At each end of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr. Naismith had planned to
have the ball thrown into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit baskets.
Dr. Naismith put two fruit baskets on the walls of both sides. There were nine plavers on each side. The
players tried to throw the ball into the baskets.  There were no holes at the bottom of the baskets.  When
a ball went into the basket, it stayed there.  The game had to stop.  A player had to climb up to get the
ball out. Later people used net baskets. Now only ten members play the game. There are five players on
each side. Basketball today is played in many countries.1. The article tells us ______.      A. what basketball is

阅读理解，根据短文，选择正确答案。     Have you ever noticed background music? You can listen to it everywhere, restaurants, airports,
supermarkets, department stores… Background music is supposed to influence (影响) your attitudes
(态度) and mood (心情).
     Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It"s supposed to make you feel
better about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy and
work better. It is said (据说) that in a factory, music can increase the production by 4.5 percent.
Workers do not easily get tired if they listen to music all day. A worker in San Francisco said:" If the
music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain about it. "Background music was
started during World War II when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and
calm . Now, of course, the music is piped in (以电讯设备传送) by a machine and different kinds of

they found that a customer spent only 17 minutes eating! So they have more people coming in and out to
buy hamburgers. It"s good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles
(洛杉矶), for example, 30 different companies are selling background music services.
     The Xerox Corporation (静电复印公司) in Rochester, N．Y．(纽约州的罗切斯特市), spends
