This summer, the Murset family decided to travel across the country to help families in need, which proved to be a wonderful experience.People. reported that Gregg Murset and his wife, Kami, decided to take their six children, ranging from 7 to 16 years old, from their home in Phoenix, Arizona, across the country to spend 20 days on the road to help 25 families in need. “I told the kids and my wife over breakfast that I wanted to do this,” Gregg Murset, 40, told People. . “They all looked at me like I was crazy,” he said, “but when we started to read the stories of people we were going to help, their attitudes pletely changed.”Through Greggs pany, he was able to be matched with groups such as Autism Speaks, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and others that connected the Mursets to families with children who have cancer and other serious illnesses.“When you have a kid who is struggling, the last thing youre thinking of is cleaning the house,” says Gregg.The family traveled to many cities in their journey, including Albuquerque, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, and Buffalo. The trip covered 6,500 miles. “Its been amazing to watch my own children open their eyes and see that the world is bigger than they think,” he said. “Even the little kids are learning from this experience.”And the families theyve helped feel blessed to have met them. “They showed up at 8 a.m. and we had a list of things we needed help with,” said Jim Spencer, a 61-year-old father in Warren, Michigan, whose 12-year-old daughter, Lexi, was diagnosed(診斷) with cancer a couple of years ago.The Mursets also used their travels as an opportunity to visit areas they had never been to, including the Statue of Liberty. But for Gregg, the main purpose of the trip was to teach his children to show concern for the happiness of other people rather than for themselves.“There is nothing wrong with your kid getting off the sofa, doing some work and sweating,” said Gregg. “Its good for the kid and its good for the soul.”25How did the kids feel when Gregg Murset first told the family about his plan?A. Amazed. B. Excited. C. Disappointed. D. Worried.26What did the family mainly do during their trip?A. They toured places of interest. B. They visited patients in hospital.C. They worked with social groups. D. They helped families in need of help.27During the trip, Gregg most wanted his kids to _.A. increase physical exercise B. gain more geography knowledgeC. learn to be concerned about others D. improve their munication skillsOur love of music and appreciation of musical harmony (和聲) is learnt and not based on natural ability, a new study by University of Melbourne researchers has found. The researchers said previous theories about how we appreciate music were based on the physical functions of sound, the ear itself and a born ability to hear harmony.The study shows that musical harmony can be learnt, and it is a matter of training the brain to hear the sounds. So if you thought that the music of some foreign culture (or Jazz) sounded like the crying of cats, its simply because you havent learnt to listen by their rules.The researchers used 66 volunteers with a range of (一系列的) musical training and tested their ability to hear binations (組合) of notes (音符) to determine if they found the binations familiar or pleasing. They found that people needed to be familiar with binations of notes. If they couldnt recognize the notes, they found the notes dissonant. This finding put an end to centuries of theories claiming that physical functions of the ear determine what we find attractive.The study found that trained musicians were much more sensitive (敏感的) to unpleasant notes than non-musicians. When they couldnt find the note, the musicians reported that the sounds were unpleasant, while non-musicians were much less sensitive. This shows the importance of training or nurturing (培養(yǎng)) the brain to like particular sound of binations of notes, like those found in jazz or rock.Depending on their training, a strange chord (和弦) sound was pleasant to some musicians, but very unpleasant to others. This showed us that even the ability to hear a musical note is learnt.To confirm (證實(shí)) this finding, they trained 19 non-musicians to find the notes of a random (隨機(jī)的) selection of western chords. Not only did the participants ability to hear notes improve rapidly; the chords they had learnt sounded more pleasantregardless of how the chords were played.The question of why some binations of musical notes are heard as pleasant or unpleasant has long been debated. “ We have shown in this study that for music, beauty is in the brain of the beholder(觀看者),” a researcher said.28According to the passage, why do people sometimes find foreign music quite unpleasant?A. Because they dont like the person playing the music.B. Because they have no talent for music at all.C. Because they have no idea about how to listen.D. Because they hear music too often.29The underlined word “dissonant” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. informal B. unpleasant C. inspiring D. unfamiliar30Although non-musicians were less sensitive to music, they can still _.A. find the beauty of chords without trainingB. enjoy the beauty of music when played by musiciansC. be trained to like particular musicD. make friends with real musicians31What is the best title for the passage?A. Improve Your Brain By Listening to MusicB. You Can Be a Musician Without Being TrainedC. Music Cant be TaughtD. Love of Music Is Not Natural But NurtureWalt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have bee a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast, Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles wont make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also wont be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also bee forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disneys parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resorts hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney Worlds website.The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and no selfie-sticks signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places including some museums and stadiums worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set park wide bans.32Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?A. smart phonesB. folding chairs C. cameras D. containers33According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may _.A. abandon them at the bag checkB. get fined and pick them up laterC. turn them in to the policeD. put them in the trunk of their cars34The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means _.A. changingB. broadeningC. blockingD. narrowing35According to the passage, it can be inferred that _.A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring securityB. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill ridesC. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orallyD.
