I was just a boy when my father brought me to Harlem for the first time, almost 50 years ago. We stayed at the Hotel Theresa, a grand brick structure at 125th Street and Seventh Avenue. Once, in the hotel restaurant, my father pointed out Joe Louis. He even got Mr Brown, the hotel manager, to introduce me to him, a bit paunchy but still the champ as far as I was concerned.
Much has changed since then. Business and real estate are booming. Some say a new renaissance is under way. Others decry what they see as outside forces running roughshod over the old Harlem.
New York meant Harlem to me, and as a young man I visited it whenever I could. But many of my old haunts are gone. The Theresa shut down in 1966. National chains that once ignored Harlem now anticipate yuppie money and want pieces of this prime Manhattan real estate. So here I am on a hot August afternoon, sitting in a Starbucks that two years ago opened a block away from the Theresa, snatching at memories between sips of high-priced coffee. I am about to open up a piece of the old Harlem -- the New York Amsterdam News -- when a tourist asking directions to Sylvia's, a prominent Harlem restaurant, penetrates my daydreaming. He's carrying a book: Touring Historic Harlem.
History. I miss Mr Michaux's bookstore, his House of Common Sense, which was across from the Theresa. He had a big billboard out front with brown and black faces painted on it that said in large letters: "World History Book Outlet on 2,000,000,000 Africans and Nonwhite Peoples." An ugly state office building has swallowed that space.
I miss speaker like Carlos Cooks, who was always on the southwest corner of 125th and Seventh, urging listeners to support' Africa. Harlem's powerful political electricity seems unplugged -- although the streets are still energized, especially by West African immigrants.
Hard-working southern newcomers formed the bulk of the community back in the 1920s and '30s, when Harlem renaissance artists, writers, and intellectuals gave it a glitter and renown that made it the capital of black America. From Harlem, W. E. B. DuBois, Langston Hughes, Paul Robeson, Zora Neal Hurston, and others helped power America's cultural influence around the world.
By the 1970s and '80s drugs and crime had ravaged parts of the community. And the life expectancy for men in Harlem was less than that of men in Bangladesh. Harlem had become a symbol of the dangers of inner-city life.
Now, you want to shout "Lookin' good!" at this place that has been neglected for so long. Crowds push into Harlem USA, a new shopping centre on 125th, where a Disney store shares space with HMV Records, the New York Sports Club, and a nine-screen Magic Johnson theatre complex. Nearby, a Rite Aid drugstore also opened. Maybe part of the reason Harlem seems to be undergoing a rebirth is that it is finally getting what most people take for granted.
Harlem is also part of an "empowerment zone" a federal designation aimed at fostering economic growth that will bring over half a billion in federal, state, and local dollars. Just the shells of once elegant old brownstones now can cost several hundred thousand dollars. Rents are skyrocketing. An improved economy, tougher law enforcement, and community efforts against drugs have contributed to a 60 percent drop in crime since 1993.
At the beginning the author seems to indicate that Harlem
A.has remained unchanged all these years.
B.has undergone drastic changes.
C.has become the capital of Black America.
D.has remained a symbol of the dangers of inner-city life.

Music reached its pinnacle in the 19th century. Every leading nation produced its share of great composers. There was a bewildering array of national schools and musical styles as the once obscure musician came into his own. Music became a widespread and democratic art. The ardent music lover turned to Vienna, the music center at the beginning of the last century. However, Paris was not far behind, especially in the field of operatic music. As the century progressed, the Germans became paramount in orchestral and symphonic music. The growth of German music can be said to have culminated with Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven was able to free music from the traditions which had tended to constrict it. He was a child prodigy who held an important musical post at the age of 14. He was a successful concert pianist, but when his health began to fail he turned to composing. Even though bereft of hearing at the age of 49, he did not falter in his work.

Aaliyah was born Aaliyah Dana Haughton on Jan. 16, 1979, in Brooklyn, New York. She made her stage debut as an orphan in a production of "Annie" at the age of six. Her uncle was married to singer Gladys Knight, who invited eleven-year-old Aaliyah to perform. with her during a five-night stint in Las Vegas. Aaliyah was a talented young singer. She was featured on the talent search television program "Star Search".
Aaliyah received her first licensing deal as a teenager, after her uncle, Barry Hankerson, formed Blackground Records. Aaliyah's first album, "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number", went gold in 1994, when she was 15. Aaliyah's music benefited from her close collaboration with hip-hop artist R. Kelly. After rumors that the two had married, they stopped working together. Aaliyah went on to make two more albums in a fruitful collaboration with prodncers Timbaland and Missy Elliot. Her third and last CD, "Aaliyah" was released in July 2001.
Aaliyah's song "Try Again" earned her a Grammy nomination for best female R&B vocalist. She was nominated in the same category in 1999 for "Are You That Somebody". In 1996, she released her second album; the single, "If Your Girl Only Knew", went double platinum.
In addition to being a talented musician, Aaliyah was building a reputation as an actress. She made her first feature film appearance in the movie "Romeo Must Die" with Jet Li. She also starred in "The Queen of the Damned", based on the novel by Anne Rice. She was also scheduled to act in the sequel to "The Matrix".
On August 26, 2001, Aaliyah was on her way to shoot a music video for her most recent album on Abaco Island, about 170 miles east of south Florida. Soon after takeoff for Florida, the plane she was traveling on crashed, just 200 feet beyond the end of the runway at Marsh Harbor International Airport on Abaco Island. The plane, a Cessna 402B, apparently suffered engine failure upon liftoff. Aaliyah was only 22 years old.
Which of the following is true of Aaliyah?
A.Her full name was Dana Haughton.
B.Her parents died when she was six.
C.She began her acting at 11.

Bernard Jackson is a free man today, but he has many bitter memories. Jackson spent five years in prison after a jury wrongly convicted him of raping two women. At Jackson's trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the times of the crimes, he was convicted anyway. Why? The jury believed the testimony of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who has attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the man who had really committed the crimes. Jackson was similar in appearance to the guilty man. The two women has made a mistake in identity. As a result, Jackson has lost five years of his life.
The two women in this case were eyewitnesses. They clearly saw the man who attacked them, yet they mistakenly identified an innocent person. Similar incidents have occurred before. Eyewitnesses to other crimes have identified the wrong person in a police lineup or in photographs.
Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. For instance, witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs or similar faces. The number of people in the lineup, and whether it is a live lineup or a photograph, may also affect a witnesses decision. People sometimes have difficulty in identifying people of other races. The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
Are some witnesses more reliable than others? Many people believe that police officers are more reliable than ordinary people. Psychologists decided to test this idea, and they discovered that it is not true. Two psychologists showed a film of crimes to both police officers and civilians. The psychologists found no difference between the police and the civilians in correctly remembering the details of the crimes.
Despite all the possibilities for inaccuracy, courts cannot exclude eyewitness testimony from a trial. American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve court cases. Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime, such as rape. Furthermore, eyewitness testimony is often correct. Although people do sometimes make mistakes, many times they really do identify individuals correctly.
American courts depend on the ability of the 12 jurors, and not the judges, to determine the accuracy of the witnesses testimony. It is their responsibility to decide if a certain witness could actually see, hear, and remember what occurred.
In a few cases, the testimony of eyewitnesses has convicted innocent people. More importantly, it has rightly convicted a larger number of guilty people; consequently, it continues to be of great value in the American judicial system.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Bernard Jackson spent five years in prison for no crime of his own.
B.Eyewitness testimony, although sometimes incorrect, is valuable.
C.Police officers are no better eyewitnesses than civilians are.
D.American courts rightly convict a larger number of guilty people.

As was reported that there was an accident at a corner of the Roman Street in this morning. A car ran into a truck and fortunately, nobody got injured. Who will be responsible for an accident is still under investigation. What the police should do now is that they must find out what led the accident. They said it was difficult of them to judge because how the accident happened was not clear. Perhaps the reason was that the driver was too tiring to stop the car in time. The driver didn't admit the fact that he is driving too fast at the turning. The police doubted that what he said was true and decided to make a farther investigation.
