A 7yearold boy in Ohio tried to sell his toy dog, police in Franklin said. “We heard about the boy from a
man who came into the police station and said there was a small child carrying a stuffed animal in a busy street of
Franklin，” Franklin Police Officer Steve Dunham said.
When officers went to the area, Dunham spotted the boy in front of a shop and got out of his car to speak with
him. “The boy was really nervous at first，” Dunham said. “He told me he was hungry and needed food.”
Chief Russ Whitman added the boy said he had not eaten for several days. While other officers went to the
child’s home, Dunham took the boy to a fast food restaurant and the two had dinner together.
The officers who went to investigate the boy’s home reported that it was in terrible condition and there were
other children there, adding that they found garbage and liquor bottles everywhere. Four other children—11，12，
15 and 17—also lived in the house. The parents, who were home at the time, were each charged with child
neglect.
Child Protective Services contacted other family members to pick up the children. The 7yearold watched
cartoons at the police station with a policeman for a few hours until a family member picked him up. The boy’s
parents were not jailed, but the children remained in the care of relatives, according to Franklin Police. St. Vincent
De Paul at St. Mary’s Church in Franklin is organizing a donation drive to raise money for the family, according to
Whitman.
“I’m very proud of my officers for what they did, but officers across the nation go above and beyond every

Psychology tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us
to take risks, especially when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way,
we become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear to move
on. This is because they have failed a few times in their lives. Please step out and don’t let the past hold you back
from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on! In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that
human nature provides us with the desire to experiment and take chances.
Risktaking is a great advantage that allowed our ancestors to become stronger and stronger day by day. By
taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories. This attitude has become a part of our modern
culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk•taking activity. Even each person seems to enjoy the risk
although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological connection creates an
interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk, too. We need to take risks so that we can
complete many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a spacecraft; however, the things they achieve
are great. Businessmen take risks when they buy parts of a company; however, without doing that, they could not
make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money,
enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking risks. It is all part of the game. It’s one of the
most important parts of life.
1．Some people don’t want to take risks, mainly because ．
A．they are too lazy to move on B．
they feel pleased with the present life C
．they have failed several times before
D．they show little interest in the strange world outside
2．What does the underlined part “This attitude” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Fighting off enemies. B．Taking risks.
C．Discovering new territories. D．Becoming stronger and stronger.
3．What can we infer from the passage?
A．We can always achieve our goals by taking risks.
B．The safest place has the greatest risk.C．People should take risks when they are young.
D．Daily life is full of risks.
4．What would be the title for the passage?
A．No Risk, No Gain
B．Risks Taken by Ancestors
C．Live Our Life to the Fullest
D．Taking Risks Is Easier Said than Done

Musicians are said to have better language skills and scientific studies have backed that up. But it’s not clear
why that might be the case.
Now, a study of 74 Chinese kindergarteners suggests six months of piano lessons can heighten the brain’s
response to changes in pitch (声调). And kids who got piano lessons were also better at telling apart two
similar-sounding Mandarin (普通话) words, which contained different consonants (辅音), than were students who
got extra reading training or who went through regular kindergarten.
Mandarin is a tonal language — the famous example is the word ma which can mean mother or horse
depending on its pitch. So might musical training translate better to Mandarin than it would to English?
Yeah, it’s possible that this influenced the results, said Robert Desimone, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) at
the McGovern Institute at MIT. But he says other studies do back up the fact that music lessons benefit language
learners, even in countries without tonal languages. “And what our study added on top of that was some idea of
the neural basis for those benefits.”
And if you don’t own a piano, don’t despair. The reading group actually did just as well on many measures as
the piano group. “Reading’s pretty good actually. We don’t mean to disvalue reading instruction.”
“More important,” he says, “was to show piano wasn’t actually worse than reading for these skills...” thus
perhaps encouraging cash-strapped schools to bring their music programs alive.
1. Which of the following is true according to the article?
A. It’s obvious why musicians have better language skills.
B. Reading works better than a piano for language skills.
C. Musicians tend to be better language learners.
D. Music lessons are greatly valued in money-tight schools.
2. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Musical training makes Mandarin easier than English to understand.B. Musical training contributes better to learning a tonal language than a non-tonal one.
C. Musicians translate Mandarin better than English.
D. Musical lessons help English learners more than Mandarin learners
3. From what column of the magazine might the article be taken?
A. Literature. B. Entertainment. C. Economy. D. Education.
4. What may be the best title of the article?
A. Musicians Are Smarter
B. Reading Helps Language Learning
C. Benefits of Language Learning
D. Piano Lessons Tune Up Language Skills
