History Fair Competition

Understanding history is vital to understanding ourselves as a people and as a nation. History is much more than the study of dusty old objects and events long past. It is an essential part of who we are today and who we will become. Thornton Middle School History Fair Competition makes understanding history exciting engaging, and fun!

Shelton Murray has been playing the didgeridoo(迪吉里杜管乐器) since he was five years old. Now 22, the musician will be travelling to the United States with the Australian Chamber Orchestra for the first time.

Mr. Murray comes from an Aboriginal (土著的) community and said his love of the didgeridoo had grown out of his culture. He was taught by his father Lazarus Murray from a young age, but said he was also inspired by his grandfather Peter Apaak Jupurrula Miller. ''My father learnt from David Blanasi. Then he taught me what he learnt from David,'' he said.

As the youngest member of a Tiwi Islander band called B2M (Bathurst to Melville) in the Northern Territory, Mr. Murray played the didgeridoo for the opening act of the Tina Arena Darwin concert in 2014. Now his didgeridoo skills have caught the attention of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, where he was invited to perform in the show The Reef Revisited, which will be touring the US next week.

''It's exciting for me to be travelling over to America, '' he said. Mr. Murray said there were challenges for young Aboriginal artists to break into the industry but said it is all about having the right attitude.

Richard Tognetti, artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, said the team was excited to have Mr. Murray join the 25 - person orchestra. ''He's bringing a really traditional approach. We respect the sound that he brings into the orchestra. We're used to the sound of a didgeridoo but playing it in LA, New York and Richmond Virginia will be interesting for the audience,'' he said.

Another member of the orchestra, Aboriginal musician Steve Pigram, said he was proud of Mr. Murray's achievement at such a young age. ''He's coming through that thing of performing in a reggae (popular music in the West Indies) rock band, same as what I did. But he's got to this kind of level a little quicker. Well it's taken me 40 years, '' he said.

24.How did Murray learn to play the didgeridoo?

A.He taught himself. B.He learned from his grandfather.

C.He drew inspiration from David. D.He followed his father' s instructions.

25.What do we know about B2M?

A.It's a popular local band. B.Its members are all very young.

C.Its tour around the US will come soon. D.It's a band in the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

26.What did Richard Tognetti think of Murray?

A.He needed to get along with the orchestra members.

B.He would play a valuable part in the orchestra.

C.He would face lots of challenges in the US.

D.He needed to learn traditional approaches.

27.What do Steve Pigram and Murray have in common?

A.They became famous at a young age. B.They have played in a rock band.

C.They came from the same city. D.They are of the same age.

C

 According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.

Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children's self-confidence-the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like 'good job 'or 'nice work' whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve,” some researchers advise.

Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child's advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.

"It's important to tell children the truth about what they've done. Honest feedback（反馈）is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That's just how the world is."

28.According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will         .

A.always look for praise B.increase self-confidence

C.become strong D.do better in their studies

29.In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to        .

A.make them live more happily B.let them do more difficult work

C.help them do better in school D.encourage them to improve

30.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A.Praise makes children become successful.

B.Children don't know what they’re really good at.

C.The same praise for all children has no meaning.

D.Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children's strengths.

31.What is the last paragraph about?

A.It's important to have the habit of praising children.

B.Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.

C.We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.

D.What children with high self-confidence are like.

D

 Understand your directional future, and plan ahead, but most of all plan a life which is full of excitement and a life which you’ll enjoy living.

As the manager of the World Youth Organization, I must say, “It is not quite easy to get this position.” My parents have always been top supporters for my educational progress rather than my true passion, which of course is the World Youth Organization. There have been many arguments when it comes to the controversial topics. Time after time I have to protect my belief and hope it will come true one day.

Proving one wrong, especially your parents, is a tough ride. But when you love something, you constantly put up a fight. You stand for what you believe in, which is one of the most important aspects of life. Any parent or carer would require too much, “You must go to university”, “You will not get anywhere without that degree.” All of those sentences make the perfect sense, when you’re dreaming of becoming a nurse, doctor, teacher or scientist, or a career path which requires that important degree. But I believe what many parents see is that when one has the degree, he/she is automatically set on the right path of life.

However, when the truth is bitter, it doesn’t always go smoothly. If I am not full of passion, will I lead a happy life? Possibly. Will I be true to myself ? No. However, if you are enthusiastic about the subject you study, you are willing to do everything to make it a reality.

A person can take many paths in life, and you just need to find the best one for yourself. I strongly agree with considering something to fall back on just in case plan A doesn’t go well. Stick with your passion as plan A, unless staying in college can ensure you are going to be okay in the future.

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard, be devoted and above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams.

32.What attitude do the writer’s parents hold towards his choice?

A.Supportive. B.Negative. C.Positive. D.Interested.

33.Which of the following can cause a fight between you and your parents in the writer’s view?

A.You go to university. B.You listen to your parents.

C.You hold on to your belief. D.You study hard for the degree.

34.What is the most important thing in exciting life, according to the last paragraph?

A.Love. B.Hard work. C.Devotion. D.Independence.

35.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Always Stick with Your Passion as Plan A B.A Generation Gap Between Children and Parents

C.The Importance of Gaining a Degree     D.Attempt to Make a Dream a Reality

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

“As easy as falling off a log”is often used to describe a job that does not take much effort. You might hear a student say to her friend that her spelling test was“as easy as falling off a log”. 　36　It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it.

　37　One is“easy as pie”. Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet, juicy pie unless it is a“piece of cake”.

“Piece of cake”is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do. A friend might tell you that his new job was a“piece of cake”.

Another expression is“as easy as shooting fish in a barrel”. It is hard to imagine why anyone would want to shoot fish in a barrel. But, clearly, fish in a barrel would be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream. 　38 

Sometimes, things that come to us easily, also leave us just as easily. In fact, there is an expression—“easy come, easy go”—that recognizes this. 　39　Easy come, easy go.

When life itself is easy, when you have no cares or problems, you are on“Easy Street”. Everyone wants to live on that imaginary street.

　40　It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. A wife might urge her husband to“go easy on”their son, because the boy did not mean to damage the car.

A. If you ever tried to walk on a fallen tree log, you can understand what the expression means.

B. You may win a lot of money in a lottery, then spend it all in a few days.

C. Every person has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions.

D. Another“easy”expression is to“go easy on a person”.

E. There are several other expressions that mean the same thing.

F. And one last expression, one that means do not worry or work too hard.

G. In fact, it would be as easy as“falling off a log”.

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

  One afternoon many years ago, I parked my car by the street, waiting to   41    my mother from work. 

As I looked outside the car window to my right, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother   42   from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been   43    from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face,   44   nothing had happened.

Actually, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t think of their falling down as failure;    45  , they treat it as a learning experience. They   46    try and try again until they succeed. While I was    47    by the boy’s persistence, I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran. With each    48   , he looked so confident and so natural. No   49    of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged — as if he didn’t give a care about the world around him.

His only aim was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a child — being just himself completely in the moment. He was not looking for approval or was not worrying about   50    someone was watching or not. He wasn’t   51   about being judged. He didn’t seem to be    52   by the fact that maybe someone would see him fall and that it would be    53    if he did fall. No, all that   54    to him was to accomplish the task or activity at hand to the best of his ability — to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that   55    and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.

   56  , I’ve always believed that in each of us is a little child with absolute courage, a child that has the ability to run freely without a care for anything external（外在的）. I believe that courageous part of us — that courageous child    57    us all, will always be with us    58    we live. We only need to allow it to emerge more fully. We only need to once again    59   that child within us — and give that child permission to run freely, just like that boy in the    60  .
