I started winning competitions. We still had very little money -- my father had to borrow $5,000 to pay for a trip to the International Young Pianists Competition in Ettlingen, Germany, in 1994, when I was 12. I realized later how much pressure he was under. Tears streamed down his face when it was announced that I'd won -- earning enough money to pay back our loan.
It was soo n clear I couldn't stay in China forever. To become a world-class musician, I had to play on the world's big stages. So in 1997, my father and I moved again, this time to Philadelphia, so I could attend The Curtis Institute of Music. Finally our money worries were easing. The school paid for an apartment and even lent me a Steinway(斯坦威鋼琴).At night, I would sneak into the living room just to touch the keys.
Now that I was in America, I spent two years practicing, and by 1999 I had worked hard enough for fortune to take over. The Chicago Symphony orchestra heard me play and liked me, but orchestra schedules were set far in advance. I thought I might join them in a few years.
The next morning, I got a call. The great pianist Andre Watts, who was to play the "Gala Benefit Evening" at Chicago's Ravinia Festival, had become ill. I was asked to replace him. That performance was, for me, the moment. After violinist Isaac Stern introduced me, I played Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. My father's mouth hung open throughout the entire song.
I played until 3:30 a.m. I felt something happening. Sure enough, it was a great success. Still, my father kept telling me, "You'd better practice!" But living in America with me was beginning to relax him. In Beijing I'd been fat -- he made sure I ate -- and he'd been skinny. Now I was getting thin. He wasn't.
My father and I had often practiced a piece called "Horses," a fun version for piano and erhu. One night in Carnegie Hall, after I played Chopin and Liszt, I brought Dad out on the stage, and we played our duet(二重奏). People went crazy -- they loved it. My father couldn't sleep for days. He was too happy to sleep.
There have been lots of concerts in Carnegie Hall, but for me playing there was especially sweet when I remember the cold days in Beijing. Together, my father and I worked to reach the lucky place where fortune spots you, and lets you shine.
In the first paragraph his father cried when it was announced that he'd won mainly because__________.
A.his father was excited that his son succeeded at last.
B.his father was under too much pressure.
C.they could pay back the loan with the prize.
D.his father was proud of him.

b. He was asked to replace the great pianist Andre Watts.
c. He and his father played “Horses” together.

e. The Curtis Institute of Music lent him a Steinway
A. a, e, c, b, d B. b, e, a, d, c C. d, a, e, b, c D. a, e, d, b, c
Which of the following statements agrees with the author?
A. The writer’s father had been very fat before they went to America.
B. The writer thought he would be one of them soon when he knew the Chicago Symphony orchestra heard him play and liked him.
C. The Curtis Institute of Music finally eased their money worries.
D. One can achieve his dream if he is lucky enough.
The underlined word there in the last paragraph refers to_________.
A. America B. Beijing. C. Carnegie Hall D. All the places he went to.
What is the best title of the passage?
A. I Took Off! B. When Fortune Spots Me.
C. No Pain, No Gain. D. My father and I

My son’s class rose to sing “Christmas Love”. Those in the front row on the center stage held up large 40 , one by one, to spell out the 41 of the song. When the class sang: “C is for Christmas,” a child would hold up the letter C, then another would hold up “H” for happy, and on and on, 42 each child was holding up a letter, presenting the 43 message, “Christmas Love”.
The performance was going 44 , until suddenly we noticed her, a small, quiet girl in the 45 row holding the letter “M” upside down-totally 46 that her letter “M” appeared as a “W”. The audience began to laugh at this little girl’s 47 .
