One night in November，Itzhak Perlman gave a concert in a theatre，if you have ever been to a Perlman concert，you know that becoming a violinist is not a small （1）　　for him，he had to walk（2）　　 the help of two walking sticks as a result of the disease he caught as a child．

People sat （3）　　while he made his way to his chair and began his play．But this time，something went （4）　　．Just as he finished the first few parts of the music，one of the strings（弦） on his violin （5）　　．We thought that he would have to stop the concert．But he didn't （6）　　，he waited a moment，closed his eyes and then （7）　　the conductor（指挥） to begin again．The orchestra （管弦乐队）began and he played with such strong feeling and purity as they had （8）　　heard before．

Of course，everyone knows that it is （9）　　for a violinist to play a pleasant work with just three stings．I know that，and you know that，（10）　　that night Itzhak Perlman didn't want to accept that．

When he finished，there was a terrible （11）　　in the room，And then people rose and （12）　　from every corner of the theatre．

Perlman was excited．He smiled and said，"You know，sometimes it is the artist's task to （13）　　how much music you can still make with what you have left．"

So，suppose our task in this fast﹣changing world is to make （14）　　，at first we should try our best with all that we have．And then，（15）　　it is no longer possible，try to play it with what we have left．

All living things need energy to live and grow．This energy comes first from the sun．Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food．Animals can not make their own food，and they eat plants．Other animals then eat the plant eaters．

A food chain shows what eats what．It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zabras．

Lions also eat other animals．Zebras eat other kinds of plants．So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy．

A food web shows how food chains work together．From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals．

Plants and animals that live in hot，dry deserts depend on water as well as food．Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water．Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats．Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water．They get all the water they need from the plants they eat．Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food．Ringtail cats also come out only at night．Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats．Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats．

Nothing is wasted in a food web，Vultures eat dead animals．Vultures are scavengers．Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food．They eat animals that are already dead．When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies，it makes a meal for the vultures．Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean．

31．Where does the energy that living things need first come from？　　

A．Animals

B．Plants

C．The sun

D．Plant eaters

32．Why do ringtail cats come out only at night？　　

A．Because they are afraid of coyotes

"Merry Christmas，Uncle!God bless you!"cried a happy voice，It was Scrooge's nephew．"

"Bah!"said Scrooge．"Humbug!（骗人的话）"

"Christmas is a humbug!Surely you don't mean that，Uncle．"said his nephew．

"OK，then，"replied the nephew cheerfully．"What reason have you got to be sad？You are rich．Don't be angry，Uncle!！"said his nephew．

"What else can I be？"answered the uncle，"I live in a world of fools!Merry Christmas!What's Christmas time to you？It's a time for paying bills without money．It's a time for finding yourself a year older，but not richer．Everyone who goes around saying‘Merry Christmas'should have his tongue cut out．Yes，he should!"

"Uncle!Please don't say that!"said the nephew．"I've always thought of Christmas time as a good time，a kind，and a charitable，happy time，And so，Uncle Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket，but I think it has done me good．And it will do me good．And I say，God bless it!"

Bob，standing in the comer of the room，applauded（鼓掌）．He realized his mistake very soon，and went quickly back to his work，but Scrooge hand heard him．

"Don't be angry with him，Uncle．Come and have dinner with us tomorrow．"

"No．"said Scrooge．

"I'm sorry you don't want to celebrate Christmas．But I do，So a Merry Christmas，Uncle!"

"Good afternoon!"said Scrooge．

"And a Happy New Year!"said his nephew．

"Good afternoon!"said Scrooge again．

His nephew left the room，He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas，And Bob replied，"A Merry Christmas to you，too．"

Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art．These usually try to represent the things that are important in life such as love，beauty and family．The most common things，from paper to clay to bamboo，are turned into objects of beauty．

According to Chinese history，sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming．He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble．Today，sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations．They are made of bamboo and covered with paper．When the lanterns are lit，they slowly rise into the air like small hot﹣air balloons for all to see．They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes．

Paper cutting has been around for more than 1500years，Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do，The paper，usually red，is folded before it is cut with scissors．The most common pictures are flowers，fish animals，and things about Chinese history．During the Spring Festival，they are put on windows，doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year．

Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real．The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air﹣dry，After drying，they are fired at a very high heat，They are then polished and painted．Finally materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things，It takes several weeks to complete everything．These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty．
