Have you seen a group of people with their eyes staring at a screen, singing out loud without a care in the world? If so, you have witnessed (见证) a period of karaoke time, and the people are entertaining themselves by singing along to recorded music. You don't hear the words. Instead, the words appear on a screen for the singers to follow and sing the words. This form of entertainment originated (起源) in Japan, and the word karaoke means "empty" (kara) and "orchestra" (oke).

Karaoke was invented in the early 1970s in Kobe, Japan. The inventor was a musician named Daisuke Inoue. One day, a businessman asked him for a recording of his music so that he could sing along to it at a business meeting in another town. The recording was so good that the businessman returned and asked for more songs. This gave Inoue the idea of inventing the first karaoke machine.

In its early days, the karaoke machine was found mainly in hotels and restaurants. Singers performed in front of the other customers. A lot of people loved the idea of singing their favourite songs, but didn't feel comfortable singing in front of strangers; so in the 1980s, the karaoke box was born. This was a private (私人) room where people could sing with their friends without other people hearing them. Eventually, karaoke found its way into people's homes as part of home theatre systems.

As technology advanced, karaoke-based video games were created. By 2003, people could also access karaoke services on their mobile phones. This made it possible for music lovers to burst into (突然开始) song at any time, in any place. In some countries today, karaoke machines are even found in cars and taxis for the entertainment of passengers. Karaoke is definitely here to stay, and it will continue to adapt to our changing lifestyles.

(1)、What do people focus on when singing karaoke?
A、Their side. B、Others singers. C、Words of a song. D、Screen doors.
(2)、Why was the karaoke box invented?
A、To sing at home. B、To sing privately. C、To sound better. D、To have small space.
(3)、What does the underlined word "access" in last paragraph mean?
A、Invent. B、Download. C、Select. D、Use.
(4)、What is the main idea of the text?
A、How karaoke is used by musicians. B、The best karaoke machines in the world. C、The invention of karaoke and its growth. D、How karaoke helps people improve singing.

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.

A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.

American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school.

When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students' exam passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.

Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because cache teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.

The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports, specially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

A Kind Grandmother

Mrs. Wallace had two grandchildren. They lived near her house. They visited her house every day after school.

She was very good at making things. One day she made some beautiful

dolls and gave them to her grandchildren to play with.

The grandchildren wanted some pet rabbits, and Mrs. Wallace said she

could make a hutch to keep them in. The children went to ask their parents.

"Can we please have some pet rabbits?" they asked.

"Where will you keep them?" their father asked. "You need a hutch for them."

"Grandma will make a hutch for them," the children said.

The father and mother talked about it. They told the children they could have two rabbits. But they must put them in the hutch.

Mrs. Wallace went to a shop and bought wood, paint and nails (钉子). She worked all daywhen the children were at school. After school they came to watch and help.

The next day Mrs. Wallace finished (完成) the hutch and painted it. Then she thought about how to get it to the children. It was too big to put into her car.

"I know," she thought. "I'll put it on the wheelbarrow(手推车) and wheel it there. It's not far."

On the way to the children's house, aman saw her and said. "That's very nice. Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes," she said happily." I made it for my grandchildren." "Really?" he said. "I thought it was for rabbits!
