7、Dear Editor,

I’m the boy student in a key middle school in our city. I fond of play the piano. It is known by us that the college entrance examination is approaching. I must get good prepared for it. So I have only fifteen minutes to play the piano on every day. I don’t want to give up my favorite, and my parents forbade me to continue playing it. They think it a waste of time to do it now. How do you think of it? Could you give me some advices on how to deal with the problem? I am looking forward to your early reply.

Thank you.

John

6、    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。

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.   71   Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.

The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65 team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛).   72   Teams compete against each other in a single elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.

Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.   73   Colleagues against bosses.

Big name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little known universities.

This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little known George Mason University was one of the final four teams.   74 

College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves.   75   About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.

       A．Husbands against wives.

       B．The players will go all out for the games.

       C．But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.

       D．College students will ignore piles of homework.

       E．People are willing to spend more money on watching it.

       F．It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.

       G．Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.
