Susan.
The next day was a Saturday. Mary went to her grandparents5 house for dinner. Before dinner,
Mary's grandparents and her parents played ring-around-the-rosy with Grace. Mary just watched.

Nowadays, some schools teach traditional subjects like math, geography, and language, but they
also teach life skills （技能）. Life skills classes teach students how to keep their rooms clean and
tidy, take care o£ their health, and have healthy personal relationships （关系）.Some people say
these classes prepare students better for life in the real world. But other people say these classes aren't
important. Students should only pay attention to how to get into university. What do you think?
Some people like the idea of teaching life skills in schools. They believe that life skills classes
give students what they need to know to live on their own, whether they go to college or get a job after
high school. They help prepare students for everyday real-life situations, such as cooking a meal and
managing money. Many of these classes also teach “soft skills", like how to listen and talk to people in
a positive （积极的） way, which are important in the workplace and in personal relationships. As
students learn more life skills, they become more confident in themselves.
On the other hand, some people argue that there is no time for more subjects at school. They think
it's more important to teach traditional subjects than life skills at school. Many students choose not to
take life skills classes because these classes don't improve their chances of getting into university.
People also think it should be the job of parents to teach their kids what they need to know at home.
Personally, I think we already learn many life skills while doing traditional subjects. For example,
we learn teamwork by doing group work, and organizing （安排） our homework teaches us how to
use our time well. I believe all schools should teach life skills. It would not need too much work because
there is no need to teach them separately （分开地）from traditional subjects. This will make sure that
students are better prepared for college and work when they leave school.
27. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
初二英语第6页（共10页）A. The different ways to live on your own.
B. The school experience of learning life skills.
C. The situation that calls for learning life skills.
D. The advantages of learning life skills in school.
28. The writer probably agrees that ・
A. schools need to give more time to life skills classes
B. parents, first job is to teach their children life skills
C. students can learn life skills in their traditional subjects
D. teachers should learn life skills together with their students
29. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Life Skills: How Do Students Build Them?
B. Life Skills： Should School Teach Them?

Are you someone who enjoys listening to music? If so, you're doing something good for your
mind and body.
Scientists believe that music has something to do with people's feelings. Valorie N. Salimpoor
has studied music and the human brain （大脑）at McGill University. She has found that listening to
pleasant music causes healthy changes in the brain. These changes make people feel excited, happy,
and satisfied. Researchers in Germany have found that listening to music can boost a person's mood.
In other words, music can cheer you up when you're feeling sad. Music can also lower stress and help
you worry less. That's according to the scientists from the USA.
Music is also good for your body. For example, a study called “From Music-Beat （节拍） to
Heart-Beat" showed that music can lower blood pressure （血压），which is good for your health.
What's more, music gets the blood pumping （血液循环）when you exercise. A group of scientists
from Spain and Brazil have found that people run faster and longer when they listen to music. Music
can help you bike faster too. British scientists studied bikers who listened to music with a fast beat.
While riding, the faster the beat was, the faster the bikers rode.
How else is music good for your health? It can help you get better sleep. That's according to a
research study called "Music Improves （改善）Sleep Quality in Students This study looked at college

music before bedtime. Those students slept better and even felt happier.
Scientists in Finland, England, and the United States have shown that music helps students learn.
Listening to music can help you when you're learning something new. It can also help you better
remember what you've learned. It can even help when you take a test, according to a British study.
Students who listened to background （背 景的）music during a test answered more test questions.
They got more of the answers correct too.
Music is more than a beautiful art form. It can make your lives better. It can improve your mood,
your health, and even your grades. In short, it's good for you. So make time for music, and you won't
be sorry!

India Works to Bring Cheetahs Back
Cheetahs, the world's fastest land animals died out in India over 70 years
9
ago. Now, a new project （项 目）is working to bring cheetahs back to India.
Asian cheetahs lived all over India a long time ago. But by 1952 ?
they were said to be gone forever. One of the main reasons was that cheetah people took a lot of
cheetahs' natural land. People also killed them for their spotted skins （有斑点的皮）.
Since 1952, people have tried to get cheetahs to go back to India. They set eight cheetahs free in
Kuno National Park in September 2022. The cheetahs that were set free were not Asian cheetahs but
African cheetahs. They are a gift from Namibia's government. But the number of African cheetahs has
also been going down. Now? there are only about 8,000 left. Some scientists believe that bringing
cheetahs back to India will help keep them from dying out.
Kuno is a 289-square-mile protected area. But there is no fence around it, so the cheetahs will be
free to walk into nearby forests as well. There will be tracking collars （追踪项圈）on all of the
cheetahs.
India plans to spend about $11 million on “Project Cheetah" over the next five years. The project
hopes to get about 40 cheetahs to live in Kuno. South Africa sent a second group of 12 cheetahs. They
arrived in October.
But cheetahs will face some problems in Kuno National Park. And not everyone thinks that
"Project Cheetahwill work. Before the cheetah project was given the green light, India was preparing
Kuno as a place for Asian lions. Some scientists say Kuno is better for lions than cheetahs. Cheetahs
need open areas with hiding places, such as grasslands. But some scientists point out that Kuno has
more forests than grasslands. Valmik Thapar, who is famous for working to protect tigers, says, "This
area is full of leopards （美洲豹）and hyenas （鬣狗），which are two of the cheetah's biggest
enemies （敌人）•" He also worries that the cheetahs might not have enough food and that many of
them will die.
