根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。

    Alice and John are in the music club at their school. Alice plays the violin and John plays the drums. There are two groups in the school music club: the training (训练) group and the concert(音乐会) group. Everyone starts in the training group!

     "When I first started to play the violin it sounded terrible!" Alice said. "My family asked me to practice outside."

    After a year's practice, Alice and John play much better now. They are both in the concert group and they are learning more difficult music. "We're learning the music from the film Pirates of the Caribbean. It sounds fantastic!" John said. "Playing in the club with other kids is a lot of fun."

    Playing an instrument (乐器) is not only fun. It also helps children learn to concentrate (集中注意力). "I have to concentrate when I'm practicing," Alice said. "And now it's easier for me to concentrate on my schoolwork."

    Playing an instrument can also help children become more confident (自信的). As John said, "I was scared when I played in front of a lot of people for the first time. But now I really enjoy it."

(1)、What instrument does John play?

(2)、What did Alice's family do when they first heard Alice play the violin?

(3)、Which group are Alice and John in now?

(4)、Does John feel scared when he plays in front of many people now?

(5)、How many good points of playing an instrument does the passage talk about?

阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。Katie was waiting for Gulliver's calls. Instead, she just heard sparrows making noise in the bushes. "Maybe Gulliver missed the harbour." Dad said. After breakfast, Katie took her camera to the harbour. All the colourful boats made pretty pictures, but not the one she wanted most.

Katie waved to Ernest, her uncle's neighbour, on the boathouse. The gull's name, Gulliver, was given by him. The gull's size and his single leg made the bird itself different. But Ernest told Katie what Gulliver did that first summer Katie and her dad came caught everyone's attention. Young Katie lay in her stroller (婴儿车) on the floating dock (码头) when Uncle Ralph and Dad were repairing boats nearby. The waves from the passing boat made Katie's stroller shake strongly. "Kee-aah! Kee-aah!" Gulliver made the loudest cry. Dad and uncle rushed to Katie and stopped the stroller from falling into the water. They kept a close eye at Katie after that. Another summer Katie was three years old, she liked to touch everything. But Dad didn't watch her every minute when she tried to catch small ducks around or fish from water. "Kee-aah! Kee-aah!" The gull's cry brought Dad back in time. He stopped Katie as she tried to follow the small ducks running towards water. Several summers passed, and Gulliver continued to call out as Katie tried new things.

This summer Katie did the usual by-the-sea things she'd learned to do. One day, she rowed a boat out but was trapped on a rock by a storm. As she looked up and tried to catch the last warmth of the sunshine through dark clouds, she saw a single white feather. A gull feather? She searched the sky for an answer. Putting her arms around knees, she closed eyes to hold in the tears (眼泪). "Kee-aah! Kee-aah!" Katie sat up. "Katie! Katie!" Soon, Dad and Uncle Ralph appeared. "How lucky! We heard Gulliver as we came around the rocks," Uncle Ralph said, "At least… it sounded like him. Strange, he was nowhere in sight." Katie remembered the feather. "I thought I heard him, too."

 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Henry is going through a very hard time. His wife just passed away(去世). They always loved and cared about each other, so he feels hopeless and sad about everything in his life. For months, Henry sits in his house, doing nothing.

One of Henry's neighbours, an old woman named Lisa, sees him from her yard one day. She doesn't see him outside in days! Then she asks him to come closer to the fence(篱笆) next to her house.

"Hello, Henry! A nice day, isn't it? Just look at this fence. It is falling apart. You are a strong man. Can you help me fix(修补) this fence?" Lisa asks.

Henry is actually angry inside. He is the one who needs help right now. He thinks the old lady is rude. But she is old and cannot fix the fence herself, so he agrees.

Henry works on the fence for days. When he finishes, she thanks him. Henry smiles for the first time in months.

"What a wonderful job you have done! Could you please paint it for me?" Lisa says to him.

Henry cannot believe she is asking for more help. "Why does she ask for another job? What I need now is rest, not work," he says to himself. Anyway, he agrees again. Every day he works hard painting the fence in the hot sun. As their neighbours pass by, they all tell Henry what a beautiful job he has done. Hearing this, Henry feels quite happy.

Several days later, Henry feels that life is still hopeful. He finally understands that Lisa isn't being rude. She knows that staying busy can help people forget their sorrow. So she keeps asking him for help to make him get busy. He helped her, but she truly saved him.
