2．About 20 years ago，Daniel Hoffman，a classically trained violinist met a young musician playing in the town square in Marrakech，an ancient city in Morocco.They communicated in the little French they both knew，but their main common language was music.On the back of a motorbike of the fellow violinist，Hoffman weaved through the back streets of the city and then learned his first lessons in Andalusian music，the classical music of North Africa.
That experience gave birth to an idea：What would it be like to try to learn how to play different violin styles around the world in just one week？Oh，yes，and at the end of that week，play a concert.He even got a name for the concept "musical extreme sports".
It took him almost two decades to launch that dream with a friend，who introduced him to the wonders of Kickstarter，a funding platform for creative projects.Up to now，the dream has taken the form of a new documentary currently airing on American public television stations called "Otherwise.It's Just Firewood."
In the documentary，Hoffman travels to County Clare，Ireland，where he takes lessons with James Kelly，a master Irish violin player，for less than a week and then performs together with him in front of an audience；many of whom are star Irish musicians.
The film is what Hoffman hopes will be the first of an eventual series of short documentaries，showing him learning to play the violin in a variety of styles，including the folk music of south India，Sweden，Greece，Romania，and West Virginia.
That would add to his extensive repertoire （全部曲目），which already includes Balkan，Middle Eastern，and Turkish styles. "The big joke is what's the difference between the fiddle and the violin？It's the person who plays it，" says Niall Keegan，a traditional flute player. "It's the music you make on it that makes it Irish or English or French or classical or jazz or whatever else.It's how we imagine it and how we create through it that make it and give it character."
"Otherwise，it's Just Firewood." he says，words that became the film's title.
（1）Where does Hoffman's idea of musical extreme sports come from？
A．His sightseeing tour on a motorbike seat.
B．His exploration of the local music.
C．His constantly changing taste in violin styles.
D．His cooperation with the young violinist.
（2）What did Hoffman think of his own idea？
A．Influential.
B．Time-consuming.
C．Challenging.
D．Controversial.
（3）According to the passage，the series of documentaries.
A．record Hoffman's experience in learning various violin styles
B．help Hoffman to become a master violin player
C．a(chǎn)re funded by American public television stations
D．introduce different styles of musicians around the world
（4）The title of the documentary "Otherwise，It's Just Firewood." is used to emphasize.
A．the power of diversified artistic expression
B．the pleasure in learning traditional music
C．the technique of instrument playing
D．the importance of famous artists組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．We've all felt the tap to the soul you get from driving by your old high school or hearing a tune you once danced to.But why is that feeling so universal？
Nostalgia，a combination of the Greek words nostos （homecoming） and algos （pain），was a special type of homesickness associated with soldiers fighting far-off wars.Seventeenth century physicians worried such thoughts put health at risk.In the 19th century，doctors believed it could cause irregular heartbeat，fever，and death.
Our understanding of nostalgia has developed since then. "It's a very mixed emotion，" says Frederick Barrett，a neuroscientist.That makes it hard to fit into existing theory，which typically categorizes emotions as either positive or negative.And triggers—the cars，music or smells—are extremely personal.Therefore，designing a standardized study is difficult.
But we do know nostalgia has a marked effect on us：brain imaging studies show that those experiences have their own neural signature.Neuroscientists argued that the emotion is co-produced by the brain's recall and reward systems.They found that nostalgic images use the memory-managing hippocampus （海馬區(qū)） more than other sights，as people mine autobiographical （個(gè)人經(jīng)歷的） details deep in the past.This mental effort pays off：as the hippocampus activates，so does one of the brain's reward centers.
That longing for the past might be a protective mechanism，says Tim Wildschut，a professor.His work also suggests a more primitive purpose for the feeling：it developed to remind our ancient ancestors of pleasant physical feelings during periods of discomfort and pain.
Recent research suggests the occasional look backwards can give us a boost in unnoticeable ways：by increasing self-respect and protecting against depression.Nostalgia's apparent power to jump-start one's memory also seems to improve recall ability in people with Alzheimer's disease.
New flavors of "reminiscence therapy" （回憶療法） are emerging around the world.In 2018，the George G.Glenner Alzheimer's Family Centers opened its first Town Square，an adult daycare facility designed to look like a small town in 1950s America.Though Town Square has yet to publish peer-reviewed data on the success of the program，clients say it has helped seniors access dusty memories and reconnect with loved ones.
Scientists need a lot more information to adequately characterize this complex and bittersweet feeling.But while centuries of doctors considered nostalgia a deadly disease，we now know：it can help us make it through today.
（1）What can we learn about nostalgia？
A．It was a well-defined scientific idea.
B．It's more common among soldiers.
C．It was first discovered in Greece.
D．It's set off by personal experiences.
（2）What does the underlined word "triggers" in paragraph 3 refer to？
A．Categories.
B．Effects.
C．Causes.
D．Characteristics.
（3）In what way might nostalgia benefit people？
A．It protects people from Alzheimer's disease.
B．It helps ease people's discomfort.
C．It gives seniors a sense of security.
D．It improves people's learning ability.
（4）Where is the text probably from？
A．Textbook.
B．Scientific magazine.
C．Autobiography.
D．Laboratory report.組卷：2引用：3難度：0.5

9．When I was a baby，my parents gave me anything I wanted.I would play with a toy for a while，get bored，and ask my parents for a new one.Then my dad died when I was 2，and I got even more stuff as my mom，friends，and family gave me more and more stuff to try to make me feel better.My mom continued to treat me to whatever I wanted until I was seven and my world crashed.
That was when the real estate （房地產(chǎn)） market crashed.My mom had thought buying houses was a good idea as a way to invest her money to take care of us.After the crash，I went from the kid who got a fine iPod and who had the coolest house，to almost having nowhere to stay.
Since then，when I would ask for a new toy or bike，or even to see a movie my mom would say "I'm sorry，honey!But we really can't afford that right now." But my mom had grown up in a family where money was never a problem，so this change was as big for her as it was for me.My constant requests for toys and video games deepened her concern about our financial situation.But I wasn't used to hearing "no." So，for a year or two，I kept asking for things whether I really needed them or not.
Then something happened that would change my way of thinking forever.My mom had been working really hard all the year，just to pay for the necessities，like our rents，and water and power bills.When she asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said that I wanted a new video gaming system.I didn't know that it was expensive.All I knew was that my friends had them and that I wanted one，too.
