On November 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio (小儿麻痹症) as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches(拐杖)now.
That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break--- it broke with a loud noise.
People thought to themselves, "He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one. " But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment and closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra(管弦乐队)began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power.
Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing(重新作曲)the piece in his head.
When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done. He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, " You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left. "
His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.

Across the world, language and history are connected. As society and tradition change, new words or phrases are created to show the present cultural understanding. Some old phrases and words simply turn into the accepted usage with their backgrounds forgotten.
One such phrase "grandfathered in" has become a common one now. Although it often makes people think of the image of a gray-haired, older gentleman, who gets out of trouble because of his age, it actually means that one person or a business has the right to refuse the new rules.
A deeper look into the first use of the phrase shows an interesting story in history. It happened in a town in the 1980s. A new law was passed there not to allow illiterates(文盲) to participate in the making of rules as they couldn't read or write and might not help in the process.
The limit was potent because except for the old and children, there were close to 30 percent of young adults in the town who had little or no education, Being strong and energetic, they made up an important part of the town's development.
Considering that some officers in the town didn't readily accept the rule. Instead, they carefully gave their advice to the head of the town. At the same time, they encouraged these young adults to pass the literacy(读写能力) tests. Thus a "grandfather clause(条款)" was added to allow illiterates to participate as long as they or their grandfathers had once been participants. The clause no doubt helped remove the unfairness and benefited all.
The phrase "grandfathered in" is of course still widely used today without being limited to a certain field. But even as culture and tradition change, whether we're aware of it or not, language has the power to hold our history.
11. According to Paragraph 1, what has happened to some old phrase with time going
A. They have got lost in history.
B. Few people can use them correctly.
C. They are rarely used in popular culture.
D. Few people know much about their history.
12. The phrase " grandfathered in" is used nowadays when
A. An old man dislikes new rules
B. A person is free from new rules
C. A business has a long history and culture
D. A businessman fails to follow the market rules
13. What does the underlined word "potent" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Unless
B. Powerful
C. Easy
D. Reasonable
14. What does the author think of the " grandfather clause" in the history
A. Funny
B. Incorrect
C. Positive
D. Disappointing
15. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Language and history are always connected
B. The birth of some phrases can be interesting
C. History plays an important role in communication
D. Some phrases are created to show the present culture
D
Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that they knew would include crowds, discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives. Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return. For these people, climbing Qomolangma is an experience like no other, making some feel weak and others, powerful.
British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, "What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. . . We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for. " Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later. It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life.
In 2011, words similar to those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world. "It brings into focus what's important to you. " He added, "There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going. You really have to focus on the one reason that's most important and unique to you. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when you want to stop. "
With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure, is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be part of human nature, with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the personalities of these people as "Type T", with the "T" standing for "thrill".
Speaking to the LA Times about the "Type T" personalities, Farley said, "They'll say, 'I'm not taking risks, I'm an explorer. ' They don't want to die and they don't expect to die. "
Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.
With this in mind, are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks It's totally up to you.
16. Why did many climbers intend to climb Qomolangma again despite huge risks
A. They could make a large profit from the climbing.
B. The climb brought them special spiritual experience.
C. The living condition on the mountain was improved.
D. They wanted to prove their climbing skills to others.
17. What can we learn about George Mallory from Paragraph 2
A. He successfully reached the summit of Qomolangma in 1924.
B. He thought earning money was the final goal of life.
C. He considered adventure a way to enjoy the true meaning of life.
D. His body was found immediately after he went missing.
18. According to Alan Arnette, what is the main benefit of climbing Qomolangma
A. It helps people realize what is important to themselves.
B. It enables people to make more friends around the world.
C. It teaches people how to keep away from life difficulties.
D. It builds up people's ability to forget past failures.
19. What does a person with "Type T" personalities most probably tend to do
A. Stay away from any possible danger.
B. Avoid challenges and live a stable life.
C. Seek exciting and limit-breaking adventures.
D. Follow traditional and safe daily routines.
20. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text
A. To warn people against the danger of climbing Qomolangma.
B. To explain the attraction of Qomolangma climbing and people's different attitudes.
C. To introduce the history of Qomolangma climbing.
D. To argue that mountain climbing is completely meaningless.

What a magnificent horse ! Even after more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its burning eyes, bared teeth and kicking hooves. Night-Shining White, now kept in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, is regarded as one of the most significant horse paintings in the history of Chinese art. Its artist, HanGan, is known for his skill in capturing not only the physical features of the animal, but also its inner spirit and strength.
Born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty, the young Han Gan had to help support his family by working in a local wine shop. His artistic talent was discovered accidentally when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei's house to collect payment for some wine. While waiting at the gate, Han Gan used a stick to draw pictures in the dirt and was seen by the poet himself. Wang Wei decided to sponsor the young man to study painting and recommend him to a master. Due to Han Gan's natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace.
The Tang emperors were very fond of horses. This meant that the animal was a frequent subject for artists. At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters. Han Gan's method, however, was different-- he observed the animal itself. He was a frequent visitor to the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time. The horses, whether resting or on the move, offered him plenty of inspiration. The more time he spent observing these animals, the more his understanding of them grew. Day after day, Han Gan painted the horses, his brush presenting every detail that he saw with his own eyes.
It is said that when the Emperor asked Han Gan to take a master of horses painting as his teacher, the artist replied, "I have my own teachers, Your Majesty. All the horses in your stables are my very teachers. "
Those who saw Han Gan's horse paintings all sang high praises for his unique skill, saying that his horses "could gallop off the paper". Even Su Shi, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty, expressed his admiration for Han Gan as a master of horse painting with the words, " The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses. "
1. According to Paragraph 1, why is Night-Shining White still amazing to viewers even after over 1000 years (No more than 15 words)
________________________
2. What was Han Gan's early job to support his poor family (No more than 10 words)
