This is my third story. When I was 17, I read a quote(引述) that something like,”If you live each day it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.” Since then, for the past thirty?three years，I've looked the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am ____ to do today？”And whenever the answer has been ”No” for too many days in a row(連續(xù))，I know I need to change something.

About a year ago I was with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my in order，which is doctors' code for ”prepare to ”. Later that evening when the doctors the cells taken from my pancreas(胰腺)under a microscope，they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is with surgery. I had the surgery and, , I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the we all share. No one has escaped it. And that is it should be，because death is very likely the single invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make for the new. Your time is , so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma(信條)—which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to your heart and intuition(直覺). They already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Most musicians agree that the best violins were made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the old Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Why are these old Italian violins so special? Many people think they have an answer.

Some people think it is the age of the violins. But there is a problem here. Not all old violins sound wonderful. Only those from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.

Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. It must be from certain kinds of trees. It must not be too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers of Cremons knew something special about wood for violins.

But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut into the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the Italians.

Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new ones still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish (清漆), which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. Since no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish, no one can make the same varnish today.

There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. And there are not many of the old violins left. So these old violins are becoming more and more precious.

1.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Secrets of Cremona Violins

B. The History of Italian Violins

C. Special Musical Instruments

D. How to Make the Best Violins

2.The main purpose of the first paragraph is to _______.

A. list some facts B. raise a question

C. give an opinion D. offer an answer

3.What is still unclear about Cremona violins according to the writer?

A. The shape. B. The size.

C. The wood. D. The varnish.

4.What can we learn from this passage?

A. Modern things are always better than ancient ones.

B. Ancient things are always better than modern ones.

C. Once a cultural relic is lost, it can never be recovered.

D. Varnish for violins will become more and more precious.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed（診斷） with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（點）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day--- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .

A. He was new to the class

B. He was tried of literature

C. He had an attention disorder

D. He wanted to take the task home

2.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

A. He had good sight B. He made a great invention.

C. He gave up reading D. He learned a lot from school

3.What was Mrs. Smith ‘s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A. Angry B. Impatient C. Sympathetic D. Encouraging

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The disabled should be treated with respect.

B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.

C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.
