Music to My Ears
As a boy growing up in Shenyang, China, I practiced the piano six hours a day. I loved the instrument. My mother, Xiulan Zhou, taught me to read notes, and my father, Guoren Lang, concertmaster of a local folk orchestra, showed me how to control the keys. At first I played on Chinese keyboards-cheap, but the best we could afford. Later my parents bought me a Swedish piano, but I broke half the strings on it Playing Tchaikovsky (柴科夫斯基). That's when my parents and my teacher decided I was too much for such an instrument—and for our hometown. To be a serious musician, I would have to move to Beijing, one of our cultural capitals. I was just eight years old then.
My father, who played the erhu, a two-stringed instrument, knew that life wouldn't be easy. Millions of pianists in China were competing for fame. "You need fortune," my father said. "If you don't work, no fortune comes." "But music is still music," he added, "and it exists to make us happy."
To relocate to Beijing with me, he made a great sacrifice. He quit his concertmaster's job, which he loved, and my mother stayed behind in Shenyang to keep working at her job at the science institute to support us. They both warned me, "Being a pianist is hard. Can you live without your mother？" I said, "I want my mother!" But I knew I needed to be in Beijing. In America, people often move and start over. But it is not in China, not in those days.
Suddenly my father and I were newcomers—outsiders. To the others around us, we spoke with funny northern accents. The only apartment we could find for the money we had was in an unheated building, with five families sharing one bathroom. My father cooked, cleaned and looked after me. He became a "house-husband", basically.
We lived far from my school, and since the bus was too expensive, my father would "drive" me on his bicycle every day. It was an hour-and-a-half trip each way, and I was a heavy boy, much heavier than I am as an adult. He did this in winter too. Imagine! During the coldest nights, when I practiced piano, my father would lie in my bed so it would be warm when I was tired.
I was miserable, but not from the poverty or pressure. My new teacher in Beijing didn't like me. "You have no talent," she often told me. "You will never be a pianist." And one day. she "fired" me.
I was just nine years old. I was desperate. I didn't want to be a pianist anymore, I decided. I wanted to go home to be with my mother. In the next two weeks I didn't touch the piano. Wisely, my father didn't push. He just waited.
Sure enough, the day came at school when my teacher asked me to play some holiday songs. I didn't want to, but as I placed my fingers on the piano's keys, I realized I could show other people that I had talent after all.
That day I told my father what he'd been waiting to hear—that I wanted to study with a new teacher. From that point on, everything turned around.
When Fortune Spots You
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 as I watched footage (电影胶片) of the contest. Tears streamed down his face when it was announced that I'd won—earning enough money to pay back our loan.
It was soon clear I couldn't stay in China forever. To become a world-class musician, I had to play on the world's bigger 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 us an apartment and even lent me a Steinway (斯坦威钢琴). At night, I would sneak into the living room just to touch the keys.
Now that I was in Ame
A．His mother.
B．His father.
C．His uncle.
D．His kindergarten teacher.

听力原文：M: Are you close to your parents？
W: Yeah, we're close. My father and I have always been close. Sometimes my mom and I don't really see eye to eye. What about you？
M: Well, I think my parents definitely don't understand me. My mother always says I'm perfect while my father often criticizes me for doing things wrong.
W: That's interesting. Do you think that's just a generational thing？
M: Well, I don't know. My parents grew up in the 60's. But they didn't seem to know much about their times.
W: So they were kept away from all the big social activities？
M: Yeah. They grew up in a small town and neither of them knew anything about politics, even though my father's father was a local judge and lawyer.
W: My parents grew up in the 60's too, but my dad taught physics at the university and my mom ran a small bookstore in town. I guess they were the kind of people who were open to current events.
M: I'm jealous. Sometimes I feel a lot more educated than my parents, which is fine, but also uncomfortable at times.
W: I can imagine.
M: They just don't understand some things. They haven't experienced life in the same way I have.
W: You mean the traveling you've done？
M: Yeah. My dad thinks I ran away from home because I hated him or something ridiculous like that. I just wanted to see the world.
W: I told my dad once that I'd find a way to study in America and then live there forever.
M: My dad always tells me that I'd be really homesick if I studied at a European university.

听力原文： I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: "Carol, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."
AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words were drowned as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless. I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
(30)
A．He told no one about his disease.
B．He worked hard to pay for his medication.
C．He depended on the nurses in his final days.
D．He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.

第11题
听力原文： My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. "Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great." Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself: "You will do something great." He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, "Is this what you were talking about, Dad？ Should I keep going？"
A long way from 12 now, I realize my father would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in, someone else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail — they're only afraid of failing us. They do not worry about being disappointed. Their fear — as mine was until my father's letter — is of being a disappointment.
Give your child permission to succeed. If you don't have children, then write a letter to someone who looks up to you. You know who they are. They're writing for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: "Don't worry; you'll do something great." Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What happened to the speaker as mentioned in the passage？
27. According to the speaker, what are children afraid of？
28. What do we know about the speaker from the passage？
29. What is the main purpose of the passage？
(33)
A．He lost his father when he was young.
B．He worked hard before he read his father's letter.
C．He asked his father's permission to believe in himself.
D．He knew what his father wanted to do from the very beginning.
