Visiting a festival abroad can be a great reason to travel and a way to experience different
cultures. These days there is such a number of choices that it's possible to spend the whole
summer watching live music in exciting places. Of course, it's also a chance to meet people from
across the world.
Melt! Festival, Germany
This festival takes place in an open air museum. There's also a lake which can be used for
swimming when it's hot. This year's lineup has over 120 different bands (乐队). Around 90% of
the people attending the festival are German, providing a perfect chance to practise speaking the
language.
Exit Festival, Serbia
Set on the banks of the Danube in an old fortress (城堡), the festival began as a way to show
people's dissatisfaction with the government. These days it's less political (政治的) but still
worries about people who are poor, ill, old, etc and tries to help them. This year's festival will
invite many famous bands. From electronic music and dance music to hard rock, there is
something for everyone to enjoy.
Open'er Festival, Poland
Held in an airfield near the northern city of Gdansk, each year Open'er has a seriously good
selection of bands. This year is no exception, with many famous bands set to play. Not only are
there amazing artists, but both Poland and the festival itself also provide very excellent value for
money.
Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Scotland
Set on a Scottish estate (庄园) near Inverness, this year Belladrum will welcome artists from
around the world. The most enjoyable part of the weekend is the ceilidh (traditional Scottish dance

Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in
Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Chinese class, he quickly
changed his mind.
“I think Chinese would be more beneficial than Latin，” said Cheatham, who is now in his
second year of studying the language.
He speaks Chinese to order food at Chinese restaurants and reads social media posts from his
Chinesespeaking friends. While it's a difficult language to master, the high school student, who
plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good
language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power，” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency (熟练) in a language spoken by about 1.4 billion people
worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People's interest in Chinese is growing fast ，” said Marty Abbott, director of the
American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We're seeing it in all parts of the
country.”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Chinese in public and
private schools throughout the US. She said the US government had designated (指定) Chinese as
an “important needs” language and provided professional development programs for teachers.
“Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic
competitiveness，” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language
and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius
Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for more
than 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens
of thousands of students are learning Chinese.
24．Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Chinese instead of Latin?
A．Chinese was easier to learn than Latin.
B．Chinese could be helpful to his future career.
C．Chinese might help him learn more about China.
D．Chinese could enable him to study computer engineering.

A．a slight advantage B．the outside pressure
C．a sharp voice D．an exciting quality
26．What can we learn from Marty Abbott's words?
A．Chinese should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B．Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.
C．The US government's policy helps popularize Chinese in the US.
D．Americans learn Chinese because they worry about their national security.
27．What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A．The rising popularity of Chinese among American students.
B．The great benefits of learning Chinese for American students.
C．The influence of China's growing power on American education.
D．The effect of Confucius Institutes on promoting Chinese in the US.

Intelligence makes for better leaders. It certainly makes sense that handling a market shift or
anything like that requires intelligence. But new research on leadership suggests that, at a certain
point, having a higher IQ stops helping and starts hurting.
Decades ago, Dean Simonton, a psychologist from the University of California, Davis, came
up with that brilliant leaders' words may simply go over people's heads, that their solutions could
be more complicated to carry out and that followers might find it harder to relate to them. Now
Simonton and two colleagues have finally tested that idea, publishing their results in Journal of
Applied Psychology.
The researchers looked at 379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries across fields
including banking, retail and technology. The managers took IQ tests and each was rated (划分等
级) on the leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight coworkers. The IQ positively
correlated (相互关联) with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several
other characteristics—up to a point. The ratings peaked at an IQ of around 120, which is higher
than roughly 80 percent of office workers. Beyond that, the ratings decreased. The researchers
suggest the “ideal” IQ could be higher to 140 or lower to 100 in various fields, depending on
whether technical or social skills are more valued in a given work culture.
“It's an interesting and thoughtful paper，” says Paul Sackett, a management professor at
University of Minnesota, who was not involved in the research.“To me, the right interpretation (理
解) of the work would be that it highlights a need to understand it is what highIQ leaders do that
leads to lower understanding by followers，” he says. “The wrong interpretation would be
‘Don't hire highIQ leaders’．”
The study's lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Switzerland, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to use creative language that will
persuade and inspire others—the way former U．S. President Barack Obama did. “I think the
only way a smart person can signal their intelligence properly and still connect with people，”
Antonakis says, “is to speak in charming ways.”
28．According to the first paragraph, we know that ________.
A．wellknown leaders show the highest IQ
B．effective business depends on the intelligence of leaders
C．leaders with a higher IQ may do harm to teams
D. the higher IQ leaders have, the stronger leadership they have
29．According to Simonton, managers with an IQ of about ________ are probably the most
efficient.
A．80 B．100
C．120 D．140
30．What is Paul Sackett's attitude towards hiring highIQ leaders?
A．Unconcerned. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
31．Why did Antonakis mention Barack Obama in the last paragraph?
A．To encourage us to learn more about leadership.
B．To explain how intelligent people achieve success.
C．To show creativity is more important than intelligence.
D．To emphasize the importance of using intelligence properly.

Taking the lefthand side in traffic is a habit that goes back possibly as far as to the ancient
Greeks, Egyptians and Romans, but certainly to a time when people usually carried swords when
travelling. As around 85%～90% of people are righthanded, passing on the righthand side would
leave drivers more open to attack from people coming the other way. Everyone had to be ready for
a fight at a moment's notice, and that meant keeping to the left so you could get a good swing at
your attackers.
In 1773, the British government introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged
horse riders, coachmen (马车夫) and people taking their vegetables to the market to drive on the
left, and that was that. The Highway Act of 1835 made it the law of the land.
However, things were slightly different elsewhere. Russian government, for example, had
already noticed that their people tended to favour the right side, so their first acts on the topic were
that they continued to do so. The French were also on the left, but when Napoleon took over the
army, he ordered them to stay on the righthand side, too. Some people said this was also because
he was lefthanded.
Everyone else kept left, but with increasing traffic on the roads in Europe, this began to cause
trouble, and slowly, over the course of the next hundred years or so, the European nations began to

Old designs for cars put the driver in the front and center. But in those countries where car
making became an important industry, righthand drive cars with the driver on the left quickly
became worldwide.
32．In ancient times people travelled on the lefthand side in order to ________.
A．carry swords more easily B．fight back more easily
C．travel with swords more easily D．attack other people more easily
33．The Highway Act of 1835 required that in Britain ________.
A．travellers should drive on the left B．drivers should be ready for a fight
C．people should take vegetables to the market D．people should travel with swords
34．Russian government allowed people to drive on the right because ________.
A．Russians didn't like travelling with swords
B．travelling on the left caused much trouble
C．Napoleon ordered them to drive on the right
D．Russians preferred to travel on the right
35 ． The underlined words “move over” in the fourth paragraph probably mean
“________”．
A．drive on the right B．keep left while travelling
C．cause trouble slowly D．make righthand drive cars
