McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasn"t just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an
impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life.
Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire band"s music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times.
The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men
striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all
Beatles images.
Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to
show their appreciation.
Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul
McCartney"s biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: "They were the first rock band… and they just
happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products. They were groundbreaking in every way," he says.

way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with
people that it was almost impossible for hore carriages to get around. The city officials were interested
in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of Londin and travel easily to work each day. If
people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to get to and from work, they would
settle down outside of the city. This would help ease the pressure of too many people living in the poor
parts in London. From these problems, the idea of the london underground, the first subway system, was
born.
The plans for building the underground met with several problems and delays, but the first track was
finally opened in January 1863. a steam train pulled the cars along the first underground track which was
six kilometers long. About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to
comfortable seats and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However, the smoke from the engin
soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and black powder, as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put
in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding the
underground did become popular. It carried nine million riders in its first year.
Modern subways have come a long way since the early days of the London Underground. Today there are 94 large underground rapid transit systems around the world. The busiest of these subway systems is
the Tokyo Metro which opened in 1927. This efficient subway has two billion riders per year, and "
pushers" work on the platforms during busy traffic hours to help push riders onto trains. At times, subway
cars have been packed with up to 300 people! Shopping malls built in high traffic stations where riders
move from one train to another have also helped the popularity of subways in Tokyo. Stations like the
famous Ginza Sugo Eki Ginza Consolidated Station include underground department stores,
suprermarkets, restaurants, and specialty shops. Shoppers never have to go above ground!

way to think about time is to imagine a world without time. But there could be no movement, because time and movement cannot be separated.
In early human history, the only changes that seemed to repeat themselves evenly were the movements of objects in the sky. The most easily seen result of these movements was the difference between light and darkness. The sun rises in the eastern sky, producing light. It moves across the sky and sinks in the west,
causing darkness. The appearance and disappearance of the sun was even and unfailing. The periods of
light and darkness it created were the first accepted periods of time. We have named each period of light
and darkness one day. People saw the sun rise higher in the sky during the summer than in winter. They
counted the days that passed from the sun’s highest position until it returned to that position. They counted 365 days. We now know that is the time Earth takes to move once around the sun. We call this period of
time a year.
They also developed a way to use the changing faces of the moon to tell time. The moon was “full”
when its face was bright and round. The early humans counted the number of times the sun appeared
between full moons. They learned that this number always remained the same---about 29 suns. We now
know this period of time as one month.
Early humans hunted animals and gathered wild plants. They moved in groups or tribes form place to
place in search of good. Then, people learned to plant seeds and grow crops. As hunters, people did not
need a way to measure time. As farmers, however, they had to plant crops in time to harvest them before winter. They had to know when the seasons would change. So, they developed calendars.
No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on
moons, or lunar months.
1. The underlined word “unfailing” (in para.2) is closest in meaning to "_____".
A. reliable
B. everlasting
C. limited
D. changing
2. Which of the following is NOT the method early people used to tell time?
A. Sun position
B. Sun lightness
C. Moon shape
D. Planting crops
3. Why did people invent the first calendar to measure time?
A. Because early humans hunted animals and gathered wild plants.
B. Because early farmers had to grow and harvest crops in time.
C. Because early people had to search for food in groups.
D. Because early humans moved in groups or tribes from place to place.
4. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Why early people developed calendars is not clear
B. When the first calendar was developed remains unknown.
C. What early people based the first calendar on is certain.
D. How early people counted a day is still unknown.
5. It can be concluded from the text that ______.
A. time and movement are loosely related even at present days
B. the light and darkness differences of the sun were the only movements in sky
C. the period of twenty-nine suns is called one month
D. early humans first accepted periods of time created by the moon.
distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes greatly. The distinction is between the
creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.
Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us meet with. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to
seize a fleeting(稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply
share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then
criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.
The practice that can help you pass your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for
15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the
words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your
notepad or your screen.
Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you"ve
persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time
than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.
Instead of staring at a blank screen start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.
1. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 4, Para. 1)
in the writing process, he means ________.
A. no one can be both creative and critical
B. they cannot be regarded as equally important
C. they are in constant conflict with each other
D. one cannot use them at the same time
2. What prevents people from writing on is ________.
A. putting their ideas in raw form
B. attempting to edit as they write
C. ignoring grammatical soundness
D. trying to capture fleeting thoughts
3. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?
A. To organize one"s thoughts logically.
B. To choose an appropriate topic.
C. To get one"s ideas down.
D. To collect raw materials.
4. One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that ________.
A. it overstresses the role of the creative mind
B. it takes too much time to edit afterwards
C. it may bring about too much criticism
D. it does not help them to think clearly
5. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It introduces the author’s writing method.
B. It tells us something about the creative mind.
C. It stresses the importance of critical mind.
D. It shows the difficulties to write on the fly.
