More than 50 music students of New Milford High School in New Jersey, US, got a letter from their headmaster. The letter said that the music department (系) of the school was in big trouble. The students had to pass a test, or the department would be closed.
The test came on Saturday. The nervous students were required to play a piece of music created by Richard Strauss. And they had to sing the words to the music — German words! There were also other difficult tasks. One student had to sing Mary Had A Little Lamb, a children’s song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.
After three hours of testing, the students all waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团) while waiting. They had the same test and only got a passing grade.
The worried New Milford High School students started to realize they had no chance. “I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana. “The girl next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”
But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic (戏剧性的), “Someone has played a joke on you!”
What was going on?
The test was part of a new reality TV show called “Schooled”. The students’parents, the school and a TV network had made it together. Everything was faked. The “students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra” were students from another school. There were hidden cameras.
The students’ parents were hiding as they watched.
As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and schoolsupplies (文具). They were all from the show’s sponsor (赞助商).

八、阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the failure(失败). In fact, failure can become experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. The other way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for the real life if they don’t meet enough failure. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time. The young should be allowed to experience failure.
Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it.
96. What can failure become in fact?
________________________________________________________________________
97. How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children?
_________________________________________________________________________
98. How do 60% of the parents prevent failure or protect their children?
________________________________________________________________________
99. What should young people be allowed to experience?
________________________________________________________________________
100.Who does failure hurt?

听第一篇短文，回答第13-15小题，完成信息记录表。
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I’m even less lucky. I never catch anything--- not even old boots. After I spend whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. “You’d better stop fishing.” My friends say, “It’s a waste of time.”but they don’t realize one important thing. I’m not really interested in fishing. I’m only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all.
