A

I have many wonderful memories of my days as a circus clown (马戏团小丑), but there is one day that I would rather forget: July 6, 1944. We were playing a two-day stand in Hartford, Connecticut, and the big top caught fire.

I could hear grandstand chairs slamming inside the tent as people headed toward the exits. Some were jumping twelve feet from the top rows of the grandstand and seats to the ground outside. Most of the crowd was pouring through the regular exits and it soon became a panic.

In the midst of this scene the musicians had kept on playing until the tent was on fire over-headbecause they knew music sometimes might work wonder; they had jumped off the bandstand just before a flaming quarter-pole fell into their stand.

City fire equipment had arrived by now and was pouring streams of water onto the big top area to cool it enough for firemen to enter. In the smoke and confusion, it was impossible to tell whether or not anyone might have been left in the tent. We circus people were ordered away from the smoking ruins that, only a few minutes before, had been the biggest spread of canvas in the world.

I went outside; doctors, and first-aid workers were everywhere, carrying bodies from where the grandstands and seats had been. The toll (伤亡人数) of dead and dying increased so fast that emergency crews were called in from surrounding cities.

Later it was found that 168 people had died in the fire — the worst circus disaster in history, and an afternoon of horror I can never forget.

21. The musicians kept playing during the fire probably because they ________. A. thought the fire was in another tent B. knew nothing about the terrible fire

C. wanted to keep the crowd from panicking

D. believed the show should go on whatever happened 22. Why were emergency crews from other cities called in? A. There were too many victims to deal with. B. Fire equipment in the city was not enough. C. Too many people were left in the tent waiting.

D. The circus people were unwilling to do the rescue work. 23. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. A Journey to Death B. The Day the Big Top Burned C. Memories as a circus clown D. The Worst Disaster in Human History

B

In a new look at the impact of long-time sitting behavior on health, a new study links time watching television to an increased risk of death. One of the most surprising findings is that it isn’t just couch potatoes who were affected. Even for people who exercised regularly, the risk of death went up the longer they were in front of the TV. The problem was the long periods of time spent sitting still.

Australian researchers who tracked 8,800 people for an average of six years found that those who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause and 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease than people who reported spending less than two hours a day in front of TV.

Time spent in front of TVs and computers and videogames has come under fire in studies in recent years for contributing to a spread of obesity in the US and around the world. But typically the resulting public-health message urges children and adults to put down the Xbox controller and remote and get on a treadmill (跑步机) or a soccer field.

The Australian study offers a different view. “It’s not the sweaty type of exercise we’re losing,” says David Dunstan, a researcher at Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, Melbourne, who led the study. “It’s the incidental moving around, standing up and using muscles. That doesn’t happen when we are plunked on a couch in front of a television.” Indeed, participants in the study reported getting between 30 and 45 minutes of exercise a day, on average. The results are supported by a new field of research that shows how long periods of inactivity can affect the body’s processing of fats and other substances that contribute to heart risk. And they suggest that people can help decrease such risk simply by avoiding extended periods of sitting.” Keeping such processes working more effectively doesn’t require constant intense exercise, but consciously adding more routine movement to your life might help, doctors say. “Just standing is better than sitting,” says Gerard Fletcher, a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Fla., who works standing up at his computer. “When you stand up, you shuffle around a little bit and use muscles not required when you are sitting or lying down.” Simple strategies for increasing activity include combining household chores such as folding laundry with TV-watching time or getting up to change a TV channel rather than using a remote control. The report, published Tuesday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, focuses on TV watching in part because it is the main leisure-time activity in many countries, researchers said, especially in the US.

24. One misunderstanding people might have is that ________. A. the radiation from TV may badly affect your sight B. TV programs can broaden your horizons effectively C. watching TV very long is a good way to kill time

D. regular exercise can minimize the side effect of watching TV 25. What is new about the discovery of the Australian study? A. Remote control shouldn’t be used when people watch TV.

B. People who watch TV too long should take more physical exercise. C. Sitting too long in front of TV will lead to high risk of heart attack.

D. Long-time sitting is bad for all people including those who exercise regularly.

26. According to the Australian study, how can the risk of death be reduced when people watch TV? A. By increasing simple movement. B. By totally avoiding watching TV. C. By taking some medicine. D. By increasing sweaty type of exercise.

C

During the past three hundred years, when a country gains its freedom or independence, one of the first things established is a national anthem (国歌). National anthems are generally played and sung at formal state occasions and other events which celebrate or support the country’s national identity.

Holland’s 16th-century hymn (songs of prayer typically addressed to God) “Het Wilhelmus” is widely considered the world’s oldest national anthem, followed by the U.K.’s “God Save the King/Queen” — also a hymn, popularized in the 1740s. As nationalism spread throughout Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, so did anthems. Many countries, such as the independent states that are today part of Germany, took “God Save the King/Queen” as a model and adopted hymns. Others, especially Spain and France, chose marches (songs with a strong, regular rhythm often performed by army bands). With imperialism (扩张主义), Europeans spread their musical taste. Even when former colonies gained independence, they often imitated the traditions of their former rulers. The result is that most anthems are either hymns or marches, played on European instruments.

Japan’s anthem makes for a good case study of European influence. In the 1860s a British conductor living in Japan, John William Fenton, noted that the country did not have a national anthem. A local officer, ōyama Iwao,

selected the lyrics (歌词) from an ancient poem and Fenton wrote the melody (旋律). About a decade later, a Japanese committee chose a replacement melody by a court musician — one that had been composed for traditional Japanese instruments, but in a mixed style influenced by Fenton’s arrangement. The version in use today was also adapted by German Franz Eckert to fit a Western scale (音阶).

In addition to hymns and marches, British composer Michael Bristow identifies a couple of more minor categories. National anthems in South and Central America are often operatic, with long, complicated orchestral introductions. These were influenced by 19th-century Italian opera. Burma and Sri Lanka are both in a folk group, as they rely more on traditional instruments.

27. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a basis to write national anthems? A. Prayer songs. B. Marching songs. C. Italian opera music. D. Movie theme music. 28. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The function of national anthems. B. The world’s oldest national anthem.

C. The origin and spread of national anthems.

D. Reasons why many countries have national anthems. 29. What can we learn about Japan’s national anthem? A. It was not written until the 20th century.

B. The lyrics were written by a Japanese officer.

C. The melody was first written by a British musician.

D. The current version is hardly influenced by western music.

30. What can be inferred about the influence of European imperialism on national anthems? A. Human rights are a common theme in national anthems.

B. National anthems of some countries share similar musical features. C. Many national anthems were chosen by ruling European countries. D. Local traditions were ignored in the composition of national anthems.

How to Respect Other Cultures

Sometimes it is easy to be trapped in our own beliefs and habits. 31 However, close mindedness and intolerance are not constructive for anyone, especially when there is so much we can learn about other cultures. Here are some tips for you to learn to accept other cultures and have new experiences.

Read a book

In order to respect other cultures, it is important to understand something about them. You can start by reading about the culture you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in Japanese culture, look for a book on the history of Japan. 32 You can also try fiction. Reading a fictional account of a new culture can give you a more clear understanding of what life is like in that culture.

Study religion

Learning more about a different religion can help you understand cultures other than your own. If you are Catholic, you might have only experienced a traditional Catholic mass (弥撒). Visit a different type of worship service. 33 Also take care to ask about any guidelines for dress or behavior.

Correct misunderstandings

34 For example, if you are traveling in India, you might start to think that people are not honest. It can be really difficult to get a thorough answer to a direct question. However, in India, it is common and polite to not

5

always directly answer questions.

Learn some new words

If you can speak the language, you will be better able to communicate with people from other cultures. Learn new greetings. Your new neighbor will feel very welcome if you make an effort to greet them with a friendly “Bonjour!” instead of hello. Take a class. Many community centers give affordable or free language courses. 35 You can also take online courses or download a translator app for your phone. A. Take advantage of their offerings.

B. We can find it challenging to accept other ways of life.

C. Background knowledge can help you comprehend the culture. D. Also, learning some key phrases can help you feel more at ease. E. Make sure to inquire as to whether visitors are allowed at services. F. You might have some assumptions about other cultures beforehand.

G. Take time to observe other people interacting to understand cultural differences.
