A quiet space is often considered essential for achieving the concentration that leads to academic success.But research shows that some students may benefit from breaking the silence with certain kinds of music while they study.Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain，in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges. One U.S.study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions.The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly.Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall.Experts have found that when music stimulates mood and motivation，students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate their knowledge. A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books.Music can also relieve stress associated with school.Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system，which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions.So it's no surprise that researchers from the Group Health Research Institute concluded that certain kinds of background music can be just as effective at reducing stress as a massage.Furthermore，while the brain feels better with music，the body may as well.Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense.What's more，calming music with a steady，meditative（冥想的） rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply. However，some educators express concern that listening to music while trying to concentrate may do more harm than good.Loud music may have a negative influence on a student's mood or act as a distraction.Actually，the best approach may depend on the students themselves.Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed A for all students，but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones.（1）What does the underlined word "navigate" in the first paragraph probably mean？ ____ A.Recognize.B.Assess.C.Overcome.D.Create.（2）The author writes Paragraph 3 mainly to ____ .A.present the effects of music on mind and pare the functions of different types of musicC.confirm the impacts of music on memory and recallD.give examples of the influences of music on emotions（3）What can we learn from this passage？ ____ A.Music helps students remove physical pain immediately.B.Loud music has the same calming effect as a massage.C.Listening to music makes it easier for students to multitask.D.Music is likely to better students' academic performance.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for this passage？ ____ A.The Power of SilenceB.The Score to Better ScoresC.Music to a Sharper MindD.Road to Academic Success

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
