On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New York railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man. The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever. Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim (认领) it soon." After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it"s you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here." The young violinist asked calmly, "Are you Mr George Sang?" The man nodded. The violinist asked, "Did you lose something?" "It"s a lottery ticket," said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang"s name was seen. "Is it?" he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist. The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist,"At that time you needed money to pay the tuition and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn"t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?" The violinist said, "Although I don"t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won"t be happy forever."

"Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira"s favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It"s down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others." Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role". Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She"s convinced that humans grow on challenges. With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers.

A. sympathy B. pessimistic C. positive D. diligent | 阅读理解 | A few years ago my sister moved from her home in Alabama to Buffalo, New York. Since moving to Buffalo she"s become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately it"s very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hockey games don"t air very much on television I"ve had to look for different ways to watch hockey games. I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them don"t work. Either the site doesn"t really give you what they advertise or their video player doesn"t work properly. But finally I"ve found one websites that actually works. Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television online for free. You don"t have to download any kind special software or pay money or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watching. The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business, entertainment, music and sports. You"re not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you can watch the latest episode of Heroes or Grey"s Anatomy but it does include some popular channels like Cartoon Network and ESPN. There is also a movie section. Each move channel airs different sorts of films like adventure, classics, comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movies. The movie section also includes my favorite station called Maxx Trailers (预告片). Maxx Trailers airs nothing but movies trailers 24 hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies that have already been released but already released movies don"t go back farther than a couple of months. So far I haven"t had any problems with Free Tube"s video player either. Whenever I choose a channel the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Free Tube is that there is currently a glitch if you"re using Firefox. Once you choose a channel you can"t select another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if you"re using Firefox the only way to switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choose what channel you want to go to. However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with Mozilla to get it fixed right away. If you"re missing some show everyone is talking about like Grey"s Anatomy or Heroes this isn"t really a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you weren"t aware of; there are several good stations to be found.

A. tells us his experience in using the Web. B. introduces Free Tube to the readers C. shows us the disadvantages of Free Tube D. shows us how to enjoy films online

A. because he is a sports fan B. due to his sister"s influence C. since everyone enjoys the games D. because he has nothing to do all day long

A. You"ll have to pay if you watch films on Free Tube. B. You"ll have to fix special software on your computer to visit Free Tube. C. Users have to sign up their user"s name first. D. Channels are divided into different categories on Free Tube.
