Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took her boy
to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the
audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore
the wonders of the concert hall ,the little boy rose and eventually explored his
way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE. " When the house lights dimmed and the
concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the
child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on
stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently
picking out Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano,
and whispered in the boy's ear," Don't quit. Keep playing. "Then leaning over,
Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon
his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running
obbligato. Together ,the old master and the young beginner transformed a frightening
situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was amazed and
cheered up.
That's the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy.
We try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music. But when
we trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our life's work truly can be beautiful.
Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the
voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit ,keep playing. "

I'm really nervous opening Chatroulette ( a website). I don't know if I'm more scared
of the possibility of coming face-to-face with a naked guy doing improper things,
or the possibility of having to speak to someone normal. But it's that uncertainty
that's caused the "game" to explode into an Inter-net phenomenon.
So ,I hesitantly click "play". My face appears in a small box to the left of the
screen. I'm a 22-year-old guy, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and sitting in my warmly
lit bedroom -- not too threatening, I think. Believing I look welcoming and friendly,
I open all features:visual , audio and text .The user can disable these at any time
if they feel uncomfortable.
Quickly I find myself face-to-face with my first "partner". A guy with glasses is
staring back a tine. He looks like he spends too much time in front of the computer.
"Hey", I say," how are you going? Good," says the guy. Sensing that he was not going
to be very talkative, I hit the "next"button.
Just like that, I'm thrown across the world into someone else's bedroom. This time
it looks like a middle-aged woman. I must have hit gold because 85 percent of
Chatroulette users are male, according to the Wall Street Journal. She's wearing
sunglasses and smiles back. Before I can even say a word, she "nexts" me. "WHAT? !"
Then, I fly through the Internet and arrive at my next partner. My nightmare, a man
is sitting in his computer chair half-naked taking off his pants. Argghh! "Next,
next, next!" For the next 30minutes I keep my cursor(光标) over the "next" button.
My experiences continue to be short,shocking, and largely uninteresting. I
discouragingly hit "next" after seeing another naked man ,and decide to end my
session and close the window. This wasn't "the new social media experience"! was
hoping for. Maybe it was just a little bit too random.
45. It is the autor's __________ that leads him into Chatroulett.
A. curiosity
B. unwillingness
C. enthusiasm
D. ignorance
46. The underlined word "disable" in Paragraph 2 means __________.
A. store
B. close
C. misuse
D. copy
47. Among all the partners, __________ seemed to be the least interested in talking
with the author.
A. the guy with glasses
B. the middle-aged woman
C. the man in his computer chair
D. the last man mentioned
C
Human demands on natural resources have doubled in less than 50 years and now
outstripping what the Earth can provide by more than half, a new report has warned.
If this situation continues ,globally it will need the capacity of two Earths by
2030, the Living Planet Report said. And the report, from the World Wide Fund For
Nature, the Zoological Society of London and. the Global Footprint Network, said
British people are still consuming far more than the Earth can offer.
Wildlife in tropical countries is also under huge pressure, with populations of
species failing by60 percent in three decades. The study, which looked at 8,000
populations of 2,500 species and studied the change in land use and water consumption
across the globe, warned that if everyone lived such a lifestyle as they like, humans
would need 2.75 planets to survive. The world's people are now living lifestyles
which would require one and a half planets to support their lives, though there are
significant differences between rich and poor nations.
The UK comes 31st in a list of countries based on their "ecological footprint"--the
amount of land and sea each person needs to provide the food, clothes and other
products they consume and to absorb the carbon dioxide they give off. The country
has fallen down the league table from haing the 15th biggest footprint in the last
report two years ago, but the World Wide Fund For Nature points out this is due to
an increase in other countries'influence not a reduction in the UK's use of
resources ,Ireland has the 10th highest ecological footprint in the world ,while
the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Denmark ,Belgium and the USA are the five worst
countries for over-consumption of resources .it also carried a warning about the
loss of wildlife and ecosystems which people depend on for food, fuel, clean water
and other resources--with populations of species declining by 30 percent worldwide
between 1970 and 2007.
48. In this text the author wants to tell us
A. humans are overusing the planet
B. we need two earths to live on by 2030
C. differences between rich and poor nations
D. wildlife on earth is under huge pressure
49. According to the text, what has happened worldwide in the last three decades
and seven years?
A. Populations of species have fallen by 60 percent.
B. Human demands on natural resources have doubled.
C. Populations of species have declined by 30 percent.
