A couple of days ago, as the test results came out, my son and a group of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald's. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A's, and Laurie got a cell-phone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPad, and she's only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $10 for each A.”

I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell-phone, and the DVD player?

I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle disappear before my eyes — no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!

I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal achieved by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns? What about the orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I'd be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.

“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that's about it.”

Don't you just hate that? We're all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation. And what about the primary grades? What do these students get? “When the teacher asked if anyone got rewards for good grades, everyone in my class raised their hands and said they got ice cream cones ,” said one third-grader.

1.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Tips on Paying Kids for Good Grades

B. New changes in Paying Kids for Good Grades

C. Good Grades Mean Good Rewards

D. Don't Pay Kids for Good Grades

2.What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. Taking care of my children would influence my work.

B. I would spend less money on my children's good grades.

C. More rewards would be needed as my children grow up.

D. Reducing my children's homework load would cost me a lot.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. if you buy children pizza as a reward, they will work harder

B. if you pay kids for good grades, they will take it for granted

C. children will not ask for rewards when they enter high school

D. good grades won't help kids make great progress in the future

4.The author takes her neighbor as an example to show _______.

A. pizza is the best way to motivate children

B. it is necessary to reward children for their good grades

C. getting rewards for good grades is common nowadays

D. rewards are not the only way to encourage children

In Shanghai's Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage．He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves．Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song．Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China．

It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater．But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese?born singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music．

In 2009, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups．In the course of the four?month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs．But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out．

“I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard—it was so good，” she says．“But it needed support．I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times．”

So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience．By doing this, she hopes to rekindle(點燃) the interest of the younger generation．“Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs．They think these songs are something their grandma sings．This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage．”

Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots．“China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音樂學院) Western classical music is the top，” she says．“For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path．So what can represent China today？” The answer, she suggests, is to move from “made in China” to “created in China”．

1.From the first paragraph, we learn that________．

A． the audience are all young people

B． Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk music

C． Guo Yong is the only minority performer in China

D． tree branches make good musical instruments

2.Which of the following is true of Zhu Zheqin?

A． She teaches music in a conservatory．

B． She is helping preserve Chinese ethnic music．

C． She works as an official in the United Nations．

D． She's created all the music for the Grand Theater．

3.What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music?

A． It is completely out of date．

B． Only old musicians play it well．

C． It needs changes to attract young people．

D． It is quickly dying out．

4.What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?

A． The traditional music should be repackaged．

B． Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music．

C． China has contributed a lot to the Western art．

D． Only the things created in China can be symbols of China．

科目：高中英語 來源：2015年四川省高三上學期期末考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work．This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study．Many students muddle along，doing a bit of this subject or that，as the mood takes them，or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.

Few students work to a set timetable．They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it，or would have to change it frequently，since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.

No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others．There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable，and dislike being tied down to a fixed program of work．Many able students state that they work in cycles．When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time．On other days they avoid work completely．It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work．Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine，and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work．The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally，under the influence of inspiration.

Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”．Freedom from control and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”．Our society insists on regular habits，timekeeping and punctuality (being on time)，and whether we like it or not，if we mean to make our way in society，we have to meet its demands.

1.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is __________ .

A． changing from one subject to another

B． the failure to keep to a set timetable of work

C． the unwillingness to work out a systematic plan

D． working on a subject only when one feels like it

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A． Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.

B． Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.

C． Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.

D． Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.

3.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” means __________.

A． when they have the energy

B． when they are in the mood

C． when they feel fit

D． when they find conditions suitable

4.A suitable title for the passage might be __________.

A． Attitudes to Study

B． A Study Plan

C． The Difficulties of Studying

D． Study and Self-discipline
