【正文】 . And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students39。 grades. According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate （集中注意） better if allowed to play with a small object. The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don39。t believe, .but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their homework with the television on. I prefer to work on the floor with music on, said Sam, a 13yearold boy. At first my parent thought I didn39。t study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was OK, they agreed at last.（1）What advantage of music hasn39。t been mentioned in the passage?

Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas. Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect Find your answers from factsnot start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy ets（封星） or planets which hit into Earth. However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge（海綿）. This suggested that Earth39。s water might have e from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity. I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn39。t happen very often. When it does, it39。s amazing. Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency39。s Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the et would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced（彈起） away from the et39。s icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because____________. A.they preferred to learn by themselvesB.they needed standard ways of teachingC.their teachers didn39。t like their new ideasD.their teachers weren39。t able to teach them（2）In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________. A.we should get answers from factsB.we can believe what we are taughtC.it39。s hard to make others believe somethingD.an expectation can help get an answer in research（3）The example of Philae in Lesson 3 shows that________. A.Comet 67P was not far away from EarthB.it took Philae2o years to reach Comet 67PC.Philae landed on Comet 67P with a little luckD.scientists know nothing about the surface of Comet 67P（4）The best title for this passage is_____. A.Ways of learningB.Lessons for successC.Ways of being specialD.Lessons for experiments【答案】 （1）A（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文介紹了我們能從世界上那些讓不可能成為可能的特別的、非常成功的人身上學(xué)到很多。 （1）細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù) Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college.
