Two years ago, I got a job in a Chinese—Canadian company in Vancouver. One day my new boss said he would invite me to lunch to celebrate my new job in a Chinese restaurant. "A Chinese restaurant? Chopsticks? Oh no! Will I make a complete fool of myself?" I thought.
That evening, I cooked noodles and spent two whole hours trying to learn how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I didn't succeed. I called my penfriend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them. "Louise, it's not that hard," she said. "That's easy for you to say," I replied. "You've been eating with chopsticks all your life. It's natural for you!"
I didn't sleep well that night. The next day, when my boss took two co-workers and me to the restaurant, he spoke to the server in Chinese. My heart was beating fast, but then I noticed something strange. Instead of chopsticks, we all had knives, forks and spoons. I didn't understand at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with chopsticks. To save me from embarrassment (尴尬) , he had arranged for us to be served with knives, forks and spoons. I couldn't believe how thoughtful he was.
Now, we often go out for lunch. After a lot of practice, I've mastered how to use chopsticks. And it isn't really that difficult once you get used to them.

It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well.
John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?"
"They loved it," he said with a big grin.
Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.
(1)、What can we learn from the first paragraph?A、The price of the coat was too high. B、John liked the coat very much. C、They often went shopping together. D、The writer didn't want to buy the coat.(2)、What did John use to do when he was asked to study?A、Start at once. B、Put off his homework. C、Work hard on schoolwork. D、Carry in wood for the stove.(3)、Which of the following changes did NOT happen to John after he wore the coat?A、He was willing to follow suggestions. B、He often helped to do some housework. C、He always worried about his study. D、He said sweet words to make his mother happy.(4)、What does the writer want to say through this passage?A、What we wear could help shape who we are inside. B、Life is full of possibilities when we are young. C、We should not judge people by their appearance. D、It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.4. 阅读理解One day an Australian farmer Joe saw a bright light in the sky.

5. 根据短文内容,将下面方框内的句子还原到文中空白处,使短文内容完整、通顺。
How important is music? Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is wrong.
Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. For example, just as Mozart's music represents a lifestyle and rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin's music is another example. He introduced jazz style into his music.
Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional (情绪) meanings, such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world.
It's a special language. We can "talk" to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. All of these can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meaning that music expresses. Our children are lacking in a wonderful part in their lives.
A. Music shows people's thoughts.
B. So music education is necessary for all students.
C. Music tells us who we are.
D. In fact,music education is much more necessary than people usually think.
E. Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way.
