Most musicians agree that the best violins(小提琴) were made in Cremona, Italy, about 200years ago. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to makeinstruments(乐器)like the Italian violins,however,they are not the same. Why are these old Italianviolins so special? No one really knows. But many people think they have an answer.
Some people think it is the age of the violins. But there is a problem here. Not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. It must be from certain kinds of trees.It must not be too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers of Cremona knew something specialabout wood for violins.
But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in aspecial way. Wood for a violin must be cut into the right size and shape. The smallest difference willchange the sund of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the Italians.
Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new ones still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientiststhink the secret may be the varnish (清漆).It makes the wood look shiny, but it also helps the soundof the instrument. Since no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish, no one canmake the same varnish today.
There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. And there are not many of the old violins left. So these old violins from Cremona become more and more precious.

1. What would be the best title for the text?

AThe Secrets of Cremona Violins.

BThe History of Cremona Violins.

CThe Making of Italian Violins.

DThe Studies of Italian Violins.

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can free from noise of some sort or another.It doesn' t matter where you live--in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village--the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aeroplanes, transistor radios, oil powered engines, etc., are almost everywhere.We seem to be getting used to noise, too.Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working. Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas. One recent report about noise and concentration(专心)suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise.It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn' t change too much ( music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.

2. Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating is（）.

Aany kind of noise

Bgreat changes in level of noise

Cvarious background music

Dbackground noise

When I was at school, our teacher told the class “ You are what you eat. ”My friends and I would laugh and call each other “hamburger”(汉堡)and “biscuits”. Our teacher was trying to show us the importance of eating the right food to stay healthy. This was 30 years ago when there were big movements to make British people healthier. We started to eat boiled potatoes instead of French fries and drink fat-free milk instead of whole milk. At first I felt my potatoes had no taste at all. But after a while I started to prefer healthier food because I felt stronger and I didn ’ t get sick so often. So we agree that you become what you eat. Do you know what your friends eat just by looking at them ? When you know the effects of different types of food, you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become. Food has been so important to our healt.Everyone has their own advice to give, which they have read about or have been told by older people.However, some of these pieces of advice seem to disagree with each other. For example, some say “Eating chocolate makes you fat，” while others say“Chocolate contains the important minerals (矿物质)like iron and magnesium (镁).”In fact， what we need to find out is what type of chocolate to eat and how much of it to eat.

3. What is the author’ s opinion on advice?

ARefuse it if you don, t like it.

BPass it to your friends.

CAccept it if you have read about it.

DConsider it when making your decision.
