More than 50 music students at New Milford High School in New Jersey, US, got a letter from their headmaster. The letter said that the school’s music department (系) was in big trouble. The students had to pass a test, or the department would be shut down. On a Saturday, two officials greeted the nervous students. They asked the students to play a piece by Richard Strauss. But they had to sing the words to the music – German words! Other tasks were also difficult. One student had to sing Mary had a Little Lamb, a children’s song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.
After three hours of testing, students waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团). The judges gave them a merely average grade. The worried New Milford students started to realize they had no chance. “I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”
But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic (戏剧性的): “Someone’s played a joke on you!” What was going on?
The test was part of a reality TV show (电视真人秀) called “Schooled”. The students’ parents, the school and a TV network had arranged it together.
Everything was fake. The two “officials” were actually comedians (喜剧演员). The “students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra” were from another school.
There were hidden cameras. The students’ parents were hiding as they watched. As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies. They were all from the show’s sponsor (赞助商). 36. What is the letter about?
A. The headmaster would retire(退休) next term. B. The school didn’t have money to run.
C. The music department was in big trouble. D. The students had to give up music. 37. The students were nervous before the test, because______.
A. they were not good at music B. the judges were very strict
C. they thought they couldn’t pass D. it would decide the future of the music department
38. According to Olsen-Santana, we learn that______.
A. their school failed the test B. he likes music very much
C. the test was just a joke D. the girl next to him was sorry for herself 39. What does the underlined word “fake” mean in the passage? A. 顺利的 B. 假装的 C. 受欢迎的 D. 便捷的 40. The students didn’t get ______as gifts. A. money B. MP3 players C. digital cameras D. school supplies

My elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after my father died when I was six years old.
Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took some time to ask me what happened. When I told him that my baseball broke Mrs. Holt’s basement window, Steve encouraged me to tell her the truth. After all, I played basement in a wrong place. As I explained to Mrs. Holt, my voice shook. Of course, I had to pay for the broken window from my pocket money.
I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it. Then Steve explained that it might be important to the loser although it had little value. He also reminded me
of how sad I was when I lost the small wooden dog my father made. At last, I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids. I still remembered the smell of her perfume(香水) when she gave a hug..
Of all the lessons Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown bird in the garden with a gun. With excitement, I asked Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “Even if it hurts you first, you should think a long time and then decide whether you will kill it or not.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment I will never forget.

Over just a few days in January, millions of people across China were racking their brains (绞尽脑汁). They were taking part live-streaming (直播) quiz shows on several apps. Some of these apps include Chongdingdahui, Huajiao Zhibo , Xigua Shipin and Douyin. Different from TV quiz shows like Happy Dictionary (《开心辞典》) and Who’s Still Standing (《一站到底》), anyone with a smartphone or tablet can participate (参加) in the live-streaming shows every day, communicating with other players at the same time. The shows have hosts to present the questions. While the participants give their answers, they help to liven up the show by telling jokes or giving some background for the question. Each online player has 10 seconds to answer a question, with each show taking around 20 to 30 minutes.
Prizes ranging (在……范围内变动) between 100,000 yuan to 5 million yuan are being offered, with the winners sharing the prize money at the end. Depending on the total amount of prize money and the number of winners, players can win prizes as small as 1 yuan and as high as more than 40,000 yuan.
The questions are chosen from a wide range of topics, including literature (文学), geography，mathematics and biology, among many others. For example, players may be asked how many legs crabs have, or what Australia’s national flower is.
To draw new users, the apps offer “redo cards (复活卡)” to new players, as well as to those who have invited new players to join. These cards allow players who give wrong answers an extra chance to compete on the show. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过个词。 ．．．6．．．
