It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapped together. She never said or sang a word.One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each childs light.（1）The author thinks music_.A . can make children calm downB . can connect heart to heartC . is difficult for pre-school studentsD . is a good means to find a job（2）According to the second paragraph Vanessa_.A . got used to singing songsB . was too shy to speakC . was the youngest in the classD . enjoyed the authors class（3）When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh yes!” the author felt_.A . surprisedB . happyC . frightenedD . satisfied（4）What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A . The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.B . Vanessa became as healthy as other childrenC . The song made a deep impression on VanessaD . Being a good educator became Vanessas dream.23. （10分）閱讀理解Katie 82When I was a teenager, I was more responsible than todays teenagers. After school, I had to do lots of jobs at home. My parents were really angry when I didnt do my chores. Todays teenagers are lazier. They come home from school and then play computer games for the rest of the day.Sarah 45Young people nowadays arent better or worse than young people in the past. Teenagers today have the same problems that we did. Theyre worried about finding their own identity(身份) and their own place in the world. I once read this quotation: “Children nowadays just love the easy life. Theyre bad mannered, have no respect for authority or for older people, and they make their teachers mad.” Do you know who said that? It was Socrates（蘇格拉底）. He lived about 2,400 years ago.Patty 52In the media, they always say that teenagers have easy life. They say theyre lazy and irresponsible. But I work with young people and lots of them are responsible and hard-working. I also meet teenagers who are opposite. Isnt it the same with adults? Perhaps teenagers have more money now. And they have lots of modern gadgets like MP3 players. But those things dont always make life easier or make you happier!Ned 23Who says teenagers have an easy life? Exams are harder now than in the past. Its more difficult to get a job so your marks need to be higher. The media make us worry about our appearance nowadays too; so a lot of teenagers arent happy. They think they should be taller or thinner, like the people they see on TV. Maybe the problems are different from the past. But that doesnt make life easier.

The sun makes the earth hot, but it can not make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up, then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask Why is the ocean full of salt? scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool, it cracks (崩裂), and rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year. scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious(好奇的).（1）In the first paragraph, the underlined word it refers to . A . The hot air over the waterB .
