• 1．Restaurants in the USASteve's Pizza
     So many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach，but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they'll tell you about Steve's.This is New York-style pizza，handmade with care and good ingredients.New branches of Steve's are opening elsewhere in Miami，all in non-tourist areas.
  Opening hours：11am.-3am.
  Cattleman's Steakhouse
     This place is 20 miles east of the city，but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here.The food is good，and the scenery is even better.Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch，where you'll see everything from rabbits to buffalo （水牛），then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.
  Opening hours：5pm.-10pm.
  Absolute Baking & Cafe
     The screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts.Try the green chili on eggs--it's made from scratch，as are the organic breads.Lunch includes salads，big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers.Don't miss a square of soft，fresh carrot cake.
  Opening hours：7am.-2pm.
  Walt's Wharf
     Everybody's favorite for fresh fish（some drive in from LA），Walt's packs them in on weekends.You can't make reservations for dinner（though they're accepted for lunch），but it's worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain's chairs.
  Opening hours：11am.-3：30pm.
  
  （1）A tourist arriving at midnight may go to

  .
  A．Steve's Pizza

• 2．One day I went to a store to get some needed items for my family.
     I gathered up my goodies and headed for the checkout counter，only to be blocked in the narrow aisle（通道） by a young man who appeared to be about sixteen years old.I wasn't in a hurry，so I patiently waited for the boy to realize that I was there.It was obvious now，he was mentally challenged and a little shocked as he turned and saw me standing so close to him，waiting to squeeze by.I said， "Hey Buddy，what's your name？"
     "My name is Denny and I'm shopping with my Mommy，" he responded proudly.
     "Wow." I said， "that's a cool name；I wish my name was Denny，but my name is Steve.How old are you Denny？
     "How old am I now，Mommy？" he asked his mother as she slowly came over from the next aisle. "You're fifteen years old，Denny".Then he headed toward the toy section.
     Denny's mom thanked me for taking the time to talk with her son.She told me that most people wouldn't even look at him，much less talk to him.
     I told her that it was my pleasure and that there are plenty of red，yellow，and pink roses in God's Garden；however， "Blue Roses" are very rare and should be appreciated for their beauty and distinctiveness.
      You see.Denny is a Blue Rose and if someone doesn't stop and smell that rose with their heart and touch that rose with their kindness，then they've missed a blessing from God.So，the next time you see a BLUE ROSE，don't turn your head and walk off.Take the time to smile and say Hello.

  A．A boy different from others

• 3．US actor Brent Hill studied the violin for seven years during his childhood.But，now，he couldn't make a sound out of it.His latest role as Dewey Finn in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical，School of Rock，in which he plays with 36 talented child musicians，reminds him of his time as an instrumentalist.
     Hill shared his story on arriving in Beijing.School of Rock is being staged in Beijing from March 22 until April 14 on its debut（首演）China tour.The musical staged its world premiere（初次公演） on Broadway in 2015.
     The musical is based on the successful 2003 Hollywood comedy，starring Jack Black.The plot follows Dewey Finn，a failed rock star forced to make money as a substitute teacher at a private elementary school，where he turns a class of straight-A students into a rock band.
     "The role.Dewey，is the biggest kid.I am a big kid in real life，so this part is not challenge.When I got the role，I did the exact same thing as Dewey who is a loser，" Hill says. "Working with child actors is exciting."
     Thousands of kids auditioned（试镜）.Three-and-a-half months later，36 made the cut.Samantha Zhang plays the role of Katie.She has practiced piano for seven years and violin for four but had to learn to play bass（低音） for the musical. "No many girls play bass.It's so cool，and I feel like a rock star，" says the 13-year-old.jye.ai made her musical-theater debut in 2014.It's the first time for the girl，who lives in Sydney with her Chinese parents，to visit China.
     Webber became interested in the movie.He wrote 12 new songs.Hill says it's difficult to get Black's acting out of his subconsciousness（潜意识）.However，Webber's songs enable Hill to make the role his own.
     "School of Rock is about how music reaches and transforms everyone's life especially children." Webber said. "When the substitute teacher turned the straight-A student class into a rock band，it changed his life and theirs forever."

• 4．There's a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedy -- the former scares you half to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor laughingly.But try watching them without the background music and you just might decide they're not so different after all.Music and movies have been closely connected since the beginning of the film industry--even before the voices of actors were recorded.In movies，music helps to provide a sense of time and place，express ideas about the characters and，most importantly，draw emotions out of the audience.
     Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speed of the music we hear.Using this knowledge，composers use sudden changes in film music speed to create fear among audiences.Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect，bringing about a sense of peace or a dreamlike quality.The use of dissonant tones and noises is another technique that heightens tension.Humans naturally become anxious when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are usually combined with danger，like those that animals make to warn against predators（捕食者）.
     As important as it is，the best film music is subtle.All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion--they shouldn't realize what's causing it.Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.
     In keeping with this principle，some filmmakers are even using what's called "infrasound"（次声波）to cause fear.While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency（频率）is below the range of the human ear，infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety，tremble and even sorrow.For example，infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movie Paranormal Activity，and audiences were at extremely high fear levels despite the lack of action throughout the movie. "It doesn't affect everyone equally，" said British science writer Philip Ball，author of The Music Instinct，but he predicted that "we will see more of it used in movies in the future."
  
  （1）What is the difference between a horror movie and a comedy？

  
  A．Their history.
  B．Their time and place.
  C．Their actors.
  D．Their background music.
  （2）What causes fear among audiences？

  
  A．The theme of the music.
  B．The slow speed of the music.
  C．The unexpected change of the music.
  D．The knowledge of the music.
  （3）What does the underlined word "subtle" in the third paragraph mean？

  
  A．Gentle.
  B．Wonderful.
  C．Not immediately attractive.
  D．Not extremely obvious.
  （4）What do we know about "infrasound" from the last paragraph？

  
  A．It can't be known to people.
  B．It makes audiences relaxed.
  C．It may be used more in movies in the future.
  D．It is within the range of the human ear.

• 5．Though online friends are great to have for many reasons，there's nothing like a friend you can see face to face.Then how can we turn online friends into real ones？Here are some tips.
  （1）

  
     You might be surprised at how many people are looking for friendship in this world.So your idea of a meeting somewhere out may be welcome.If your suggestion about meeting in person has been ignored，give it some time.（2）

  
  Meet at a coffee shop or other public places.
     Coffee shops are a good place to meet online friends because they're centrally located and you can come and go easily.（3）

  You can grab your cup of coffee and something to read and just relax.This type of atmosphere encourages good conversation and acceptance.
  Meet as a group.
     （4）

  Your online friend might feel a little afraid if you bring a friend but he/she is alone.A better choice is to have several people from the online group meet.This way，each of you is meeting each other for the first time.It will help you get to know each other much better than if you have a good friend along.
  Follow up.
     So you've had your meeting at the coffee shop.What's the next？（5）

  Do you have fun？Is this person someone you'd like to know better？
     Remember one or two meetings won't give you a sense of the person.You will need to get to know them slowly over time.
  
  A.Meet your online friends when free.
  B.Suggest the idea of an offline meeting.
  C.You can also meet many people in the coffee shop.
  D.Perhaps your request has come too early to be comfortable.
  E.Be careful not to bring a friend along when meeting someone.
  F.You should think about how you feel meeting your friend in person.
  G.Even if you're sitting there waiting for someone，you won't feel uncomfortable.
