One day, when she 36 with her mother in downtown Winnipeg, they saw a man 37 out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very 38 .She couldn't understand why some people had to live without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could 39 , but, of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决)the problem of homelessness. ‎ Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman, 40 an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with 41 . It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 42 to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 43 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her ‎ that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn’t 44 as bad.‎ Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces.

More recently, the foundation began another 48 called National Red Scarf Day---a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada`s homeless.‎ There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called “Hannah`s Place”, something that Hannah is very 49 of. Hannah`s Place is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it is so cold that 50 outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has received a lot of 51 .‎ For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the 52 of young people to change the world.

But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. ‎ ‎  Researchers at the University‎ of ‎Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.‎ ‎  Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.‎ ‎   All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.‎ ‎   Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.‎ ‎    Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.‎ ‎   Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University‎ of ‎Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”‎ ‎56. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.‎ A. recall the past                       B. introduce the topic          ‎ C. attract the readers            D. compare the childhood with the present ‎57. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?‎ A. English   B. Spanish      C. Italian          D. Hungarian ‎ ‎58. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________‎ A. singing is the best way to learn a language.‎ B. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.‎ C. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.‎ D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.‎ ‎59. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?‎ A. An American is going to learn some Chinese.‎ B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.‎ C. A student is going to learn a new English song.‎ D. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.‎ B Suppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.‎ Realization will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You freeze in horrors and burn with shame.‎ What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.‎ Clicking “send” too soon Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.‎ Writing the wrong time The sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended（触怒，冒犯）, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).‎ Clicking “reply all” unintentionally You accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.‎ Sending an offensive message to its subject The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.‎ ‎60. What is the passage mainly about? ‎ A. Defining email errors B. Reducing email mistakes.‎ ‎ C. Improving email writing D. Handling email accidents.‎ ‎61. After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.‎ A. curious B. tired C. awful D. funny ‎62. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.‎ A. apologize in a serious manner B. tell the receiver to ignore the error C. learn to write the name correctly D. send a short notice to everyone ‎63. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email? ‎ A. Try offering other choices. B. Avoid further involvement. ‎ C. Meet other staff members. D. Make a light-hearted apology. ‎ ‎64. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email? ‎ A. By promising not to offend the receiver again. ‎ B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.‎ C. By asking the receiver to control his anger D. By talking to the receiver face to face. ‎ C Inspiring young minds!‎ ‎ TOKNOW Magazine is a big hit in the world of children’s publishing, bringing a unique combination of challenging ideas and good fun to young fans every month.‎ What’s inside?‎ ‎ Every month the magazine introduces a fresh new topic with articles, experiments and creative things to make — the magazine also explores philosophy and wellbeing to make sure young readers have a balanced take on life.‎ What is so special about TOKNOW magazine? ‎ ‎ Well, it has no ads or promotions inside— ‎ instead it is jam-packed with serious ideas. ‎ TOKNOW makes complex ideas attractive and ‎ accessible to children, who can become involved in advanced concepts and even philosophy（哲学）—and they will soon discover that TOKNOW feels more like a club than just a magazine.‎ Sounds too good to be true?‎ ‎ Take a look online—evidence shows that thousands of teachers and parents know a good thing when they see it and recommend TOKNOW to their friends.‎ Happy Birthday All Year!‎ ‎ What could be more fun than a gift that keeps coming through the letterbox every month?
