Many people think country music and western music are nearly the same. In fact, they are two different kinds of music in America. They come from different parts of America. Country music comes from the southeast of America. But western music comes from the southwest of America. Another difference is the ways of playing them. Country music has a simple (简单的) way of playing. It uses fewer instruments like guitars and harmonicas (口琴).But western music needs more and bigger instruments like trumpets, trombones (长号) and so on. Country music is folk (民间的) music. It’s the music that travels in the country. Men and women often play it. However, there is much dancing in western music and men often play it. However, country music and western music often share similar topics (相似的主题) for songs. They have these songs with the topics like love, money, crime and so on. These songs often tell the life of the poor in America.

We’ve talked about snails and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells —sleeping.
Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.
　　In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers, are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.
　　A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin. Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
56. A snail _________.
A. moves more slowly at night B. has thousands of feet
C. doesn’t move at all D. sleeps much of the time
57. In the sentence “A snail draws its body into its shell”, the word “draw” means _____.
A. to make with a pencil B. to push C. to pull D. to move away
58. From the story, we know _________.
A. a snail’s shell is very thin B. a snail can’t see well
C. a snail’s nose is quite short D. a snail’s body changes in different seasons
59. A snail goes to sleep when _____.
A. it feels hungry B. it is put into a paper box C. spring is coming D. it rains heavily
60. Which of the following is wrong?
A. In winter the snail doesn’t eat or move. B.A snail doesn’t like living under the sun. C. The snail’s teeth can’t be worn out. D. The snail’s nose helps to find food.

Do you see signs around you? Do you know the signs are an important part of our daily life? They can be in pictures or in words to give people information. What do people think are good signs? If you are thinking about making signs for others, what should you know?
The most important thing is that signs should be simple and easy to understand. It is important to use clear language. On the other hand, the words should be easy to write and you just need to write down what you want to do. “Keep off the grass” is a very good example. It means “Don’t touch or walk on the grass”.
Nowadays, there is a saying that “A picture paints a thousand words”. Perhaps that’s why we are seeing more and more signs in pictures, or a combination of pictures and words. However, that’s the difficult part, because picture signs may have different meanings in different countries.
( )61. First, a good sign should be ____.
A. clear B. beautiful C. funny D. interesting
( )62. What does the underlined word “combination” mean?
A. 分开 B. 结合 C. 并列 D. 平行
( )63. What is the disadvantage (不利因素) of picture signs?
A. They are too simple. B. They are not easy to understand.
C. They are not as interesting as word sign.
D. They may have different meanings in different countries
（ ）64. What is the disadvantage (不利因素) of picture signs?
A. They are too simple.  B. They are not easy to understand. 
C. They are not as interesting as word sign.
D. They may have different meanings in different countries.
( ) 65. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Word Signs B. Pictures and Words C. The History of Signs D. Signs Are Important

Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke very quickly and I couldn’t understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because I didn’t know how to read the words correctly. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything in class.
Then one day I watched an English movie—Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie. So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although(尽管) I could not understand everything the characters(角色) said, their body language and the expressions(表情) on their faces help me get the meaning(意思). I understood I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. I found out that listening to something interesting is the secret to the language learning. I also learned some useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake”or “It serves you right. I did not understand these at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary(字典).
Now I really enjoy my English class. Do you want to learn English like this?
