【題目】The Piano Lesson

Jenny wasn't interested in playing the piano. She liked writing stories and acting them out with her friends. But Mrs Windsor gave her piano lessons for free, so she felt she should have a try. Every Sunday she had her piano lessons in Mrs Windsor's house.

One Sunday morning, Jenny walked into Mrs Windsor's music room and sat down on the piano bench as usual.

"Hello," Jenny heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw a young girl.

"What's your name?" The girl asked.

Before Jenny could answer, Mrs Windsor walked in and said, "Jenny, this is my niece (侄女), Pasha. Pasha, this is Jenny. I need to go to hospital, so Pasha will give you your lesson today."

Pasha sat beside Jenny on the piano bench and asked, "What piece do you like best?"

"I don't know," Jenny said. "They're all the same to me."

"You mean you don't have a favourite?" Pasha was surprised.

"No, not really," Jenny said.

Pasha opened Jenny's music book and asked Jenny to play.

After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of Jenny's. Jenny stopped. Then Pasha said, "Jenny, what are you hearing in the music?" Jenny looked at Pasha strangely.

"I don't know," Jenny said.

"Let me try and you listen," Pasha said. "All you have to do is learn to hear the stories in the music."

"I' ve never thought of it that way," Jenny said.

"let's try together, shall we?" Pasha smiled. Together they played that afternoon and tried to find the story in the music. That day Jenny found playing the piano was not that difficult.

All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I join the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, and I didn’t have the ______ to keep up with the others in the team and they would laugh at me.

【題目】People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.

One thing I can tell you is that, once you’re started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you ’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say then in English?”At first, it might be with simple words or phrases ,but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I am in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It is amazing how much this helps.

For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I did not want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.

Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.

【1】The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about .

A. a week B. a month C. a term D. a year

【2】According to the writer, is a good way to improve your English.

A. thinking in English B. learning English grammar

C. watching English films D. reading English book

【3】The underlined phrase “get it over” in Paragraph 3 means “ ”in English.

A. stick to it B. depend on it C. overcome it D. understand it

【4】To the writer’s surprise, his English improved quickly .

A. in the university B. in the middle school C. in China D. in America

【5】The best title for this passage should be .

A. The Importance of English

B. My English Learning Experience

C. My University Life

D. My American Friends
