True or False （判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示）（7分）‎ Hondorf is a music teacher. She has always made some money by giving piano lessons. She had a student named Robby. He was 11 years old when his mother took him to his first piano lesson. Hondorf thinks that students should begin at an earlier age，which she explained to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother’s wish to hear him play the piano，so she took him as a student. But from the beginning Hondorf thought he was a hopeless learner. He was not talented（有才能的）in playing the piano. But Hondorf had to say he tried hard.One day，Robby stopped coming back and told her that he wanted to play in public. He said his mother had been ill，so he had to practice at home. Hondorf hesitated because she thought he couldn’t play the piano well enough，but finally she agreed.‎ The night for the public show came. The high school hall was full of parents and friends. When Robby began playing，Hondorf was surprised at what she heard. He played so well that everyone in the hall was moved. Hondorf ran up to him when he ended. “I’ve never heard you play like that，Robby！How could you do it？”“Well，Miss Hondorf…do you remember that I told you my mom was sick？Well，in fact，she was so sick that she died this morning. And well…she was born deaf（聋的），so tonight was the first time she ever heard me play.I wanted to make it special.”‎ When Hondorf heard this，she felt that he was the teacher and she was the pupil. For it was he that taught her the meaning of love and believing in yourself.‎ ‎71. Robby began to give a piano lesson at the age of eleven.‎ ‎72.

For a long time，many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it feels good. ‎ ‎ However，a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (an animal like a large monkey without a tail ) also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans an chimpanzees share an ancestor about 6million years ago.‎ ‎ People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features without any other training，says Warneken，a scientist in Germany.‎ Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the Afican country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment，a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick，but he couldn’t reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage，and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.‎ Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one，and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn’t met the person before，they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. What’s more，they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward.‎ In a similar experiment，36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick，whether or not they were offered toys for their help.‎ Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still，both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. Still，the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees don’t give rewards of food to other chimpanzees，even if it costs them nothing to be generous.‎ ‎78. Many scientists thought that ________for a long time.‎ A) another animal could do bravely B）only people could act generously ‎ C）children could describe things clearly ‎ D）chimpanzees could discover things carefully ‎79. A new study in Germany suggests that ________.‎ ‎ A) people also share information for good reason ‎ B) children know something at the age of 18 months ‎ ‎ C）chimpanzees do good things for no real reason, too ‎ ‎ D）humans should develop their abilities 6 million years ago ‎ ‎80. The underlined words “an ancestor” probably means“________”.‎ ‎ A）a person in the family who lived a long time ago ‎ ‎ B）a child in the school who lived with grandparents ‎ ‎ C）a chimpanzee on an island that lived for years ‎ ‎ D）an animal in the zoo that lived with others ‎ ‎81.

It is probably true that nowadays young Americans have more freedom t 92 they ever had. It is not really clear whether all of this freedom is a good thing with respect to dating relationships (关系). Dating has changed greatly in recent years.‎ According to traditional dating ways in the United States, much of the responsibility for a date falls on the young man. The young man must first call the girl he w 93 to date early in a week. Most girls in traditional dating relationships expect to get a telephone call f ‎94 a young man by Wednesday. Most dates take place on weekends. Fridays and Saturdays nights are p 95 for dates. The young man must ask the girl out and suggest the things that they might do. Usually it is the young man who pays for all of the evening's activities.‎ Some young people in the United States, e 96 college students, do not go out on traditional dates. Instead, they go out on group dates. This means that small groups of young people go out with each other. All of the people in the group are usually friends, but some in the group may not know before.‎ As a result, every person pays for his or her expenses. This means that the girls must pay for their admission(入场) tickets for the movies, for a cup of coffee, or for a _ 97 else that they spend on during the date.‎ The group is very different from the traditional date. Young people in the Unite States today enjoy both kinds of these dating ways. Traditional dating ways give young people a chance to get to know one another better. Group dates give young people a chance to know many other young people and to have a more relaxed evening. Both kinds of dates have their a 98 . The group date is really a new idea among young people. It seems to be a wonderful for the reasons described above.‎ E. Answer the questions （根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（14分）‎ A.
