But the boy took that as a challenge(挑战). "I will show people that I can," he said to himself.Months later, a neighbour gave him an old piano when she moved away. He taught himself to play the piano and practiced for hours a day.Darrius's favourite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius a year to learn it.

But when the movie first appeared many years ago, there was no sound or music. Those silent(无声的)movies play an important role in movie history.When movie theaters showed silent movies, musicians were often there to play music along with the movie. Sometimes, musicians also made some special sounds. However, there was no sound in the movie itself. People learnt the story through the actors, the musicians and words on the screen.When movies first had sound, not everyone liked it. Many silent movie actors thought it was hard to act in the new kind of movies. Clara Bow was a famous silent-movie actress in the early 1920s. She was so nervous about her voice that she couldn't become a star in the world of talking pictures. She then left show business.The Jazz Singer(1927)was the first movie with sound.

We may also think of many stories of dolphins saving people from water, or even the songs and stories about their fantastic skills. Then did you watch dolphin shows before? Dolphin shows in ocean parks are popular in some countries. People think the dolphins look lovely. But at the same time, we need to think about some sad facts.First, where are the dolphins from? Some ocean parks get them in a secret way. For example, they buy the dolphins at lower prices from some fishermen. They catch, kill and sell the dolphins without following the government's rules. Second, the dolphins show more and more strange behavior because they get bored with living in the small places in the ocean parks. They may hurt their teeth by biting something. And they will get sick easily because of their bleeding teeth.It's time for us to find out the truth behind the dolphin shows.

6 . Cheating is considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities. Colleges and universities across the US have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating.We frequently hear about “the good old days”, when Americans were better, happier, and more honest. But were they more honest? Maybe yes, a long time ago when life was very different from what it is today.School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he’d overcharged a customer. It’s the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true — unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. Washington’s first biographer invented the tale of little George saying to his father, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax.” What is important in both stories, however, is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.And these are just two stories out of many. Students in the last century usually didn’t read “fan” stories. They read stories that taught moral values. Such stories pointed out quite clearly that children who lied, cheated, or stole came to bad ends.Parents may have further reinforced those values. It’s difficult to know. We do know that children didn’t hear their parents talk of cheating the government on income taxes — there weren’t any. The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character. For that reason, there are numerous watch-dog committees at all levels of society.Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty? There is some evidence that dishonesty may ebb and flow (起伏). When times are hard, incidents of theft and cheating usually go up. And when times get better such incidents tend to go down.Cheating in school also tends to ebb and flow. But it doesn’t seem linked to the economy. Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating — a person may feel “they don’t trust me anyway,” and be tempted to “beat the system.” Distrust can be contagious (传染的). But, so can trust!【小题1】Why does the author mention the two stories of Lincoln and Washington?A．To show Lincoln is more admired than Washington.B．To introduce the topic to be discussed.C．To compare them with the presidents today.D．To prove honesty used to be very important in American character.【小题2】What lesson do all the stories try to convey?A．Those who do something evil will have to answer for it.B．Those who steal will be put to prison.C．Those who cheat will be sentenced.D．Those who don’t behave themselves will die young.【小题3】What may be a main reason for dishonesty in society?A．Family life.B．Fun stories.C．Economic condition.D．School education.【小题4】By saying ‘... some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating’, the author wants to show ________.A．Distrust will result in dishonesty sometimes.B．The measures to stop cheating in schools are badly taken.C．Dishonesty is a long-time discouragement.D．There will never be an effective way to stop cheating.【小题5】What may help a student not to cheat?A．High grades.B．Self-confidence.C．Discipline.D．Strong wills.

In the past, flying carpets and wind-fire wheels only appeared in myths or people’s dreams. Nowadays, many travel tools better than them have become reality. Large passenger planes fly over our heads. Within one day, they can carry people to nearly any corner of the earth. So, if you send your selfies in five different countries in three days, don’t expect anyone in your friend circle to feel surprised. Similarly, if a friend sends you a photo of himself riding on a single wheel self-balance car, you won’t find it too cool. Maybe you’ll just warn him, “Hey, obey the traffic rules!” That’s why nowadays “being on wheels” no longer just means “riding a car”. In cities all over the world, new transportation tools give a unique view: for example, the shared bicycles, both convenient and energy-saving. Of course, you may say, “Is that new? Shared electric scooters are common now!” Yes, even skateboards that only appeared in playgrounds seem to have become a travel tool for some college students. Sometimes they turn around like a lone ranger in crowds. And often, they may have a big fall when they are most proud of their skills.Yes, these new generation tools have pros and cons. But they are the results of human efforts to realize their dreams. (4)As long as good rules could regulate the production and use of them, we can enjoy more interesting ways of transportation.
