This may be because some aspects of musical talent are built into the genes（基因），the researchers said. Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.

Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.‎ Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. "I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago.

"says Samuel. Recently. Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, "It's all about super memory--I guess I have that gift."‎ However. Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy. Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word. Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.‎ ‎69.

However, an accident, such as a drowning accident, can spoil all the fun and pleasures of an enjoyable swimming experience. According to the World Health Organization （世界卫生组织）, drowning ( 溺水 ) is the third leading cause of unintentional (无意的) injury death worldwide, Drowning occurs more 75 in males and the young. Surveys show that I 0% of children under 5 have experienced a situation with a high risk of drowning.‎ If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't 76 , you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, lift his held beck and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue clogging(堵塞) the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest 71 , then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.‎ To bring a child back to 78 , keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If ,in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey color, you can feel no pulse (脉搏). Then pressing is the 79 chance of saving his life.‎ With arms straight, rock (摆动) forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib (肋骨). Check how effective you are 80 seeing if his color improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）‎ At times we all get angry when we are driving. It might be because we are stuck in a traffic ‎ jam or stuck behind a very s 81 driver. It might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. Whatever the reason, it seems that getting angry in a car is something which happens more and more often and there is now a special term f 82 it: 'road rage'(路怒症). Some experts even think that road rage is a kind of mental illness! How can we recognize this 'illness' of road rage? There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive (攻击性的) driving and aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different f 83 : Driving much faster than the speed limit.‎ l Increasing your speed very quickly.‎ l Driving very close behind the car in front and sounding the horn (喇叭) or flashing the headlights.‎ l Changing lanes very suddenly and b 84 another car.‎ l Moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.‎ There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:‎ l Making rude signs at people.‎ l Shouting at people and threatening them.‎ l Deliberately (蓄意地) driving into another person's car.‎ l Hitting somebody.‎ l Using a weapon such as a baseball bat, or even a gun or a knife.‎ Road rage is c 85 not a joke. There have been incidents (事件) of road rage which have led to serious injuries and even murder. Experts thank that one reason for road rage as that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases where this kind of driving seems to be positive. Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious e 86 . Experience shows that driving problems can be controlled, but it takes a long time. In the UK in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in r 87 the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let's hope they can have the same success with road rage.‎ D.

Nowadays each person in the world can have seventeen kilogra.ms of- fish a year. Yet people in some places still use small boats and old fishing methods to catch fish as they did in the past.

Such ships can carry hundreds of workers who clean and package the fish as soon as they are caught. With the rapid development of science, people are catching more and more fish.
