An extremely rare manuscript(手稿) signed by English naturalist Charles Darwin is expected to fetch up to $790,00at a Sotheby’s auction next month. The document contains a passage from the famous 1859 work On the Origin of Species, in which Darwin put forth his theory of evolution.
The document was once thought to be a deserted page from an earlier manuscript of the work. But experts now understand it was written in 1865 and sent to the editor of the Autographic Mirror who had requested a signed writing sample from Darwin.
“While some of Darwin's notes and manuscript pages have survived over the last hundred or more years, he was known to keep revising his publications, often throwing away pages from working drafts as waste paper, making them extremely rare,” Sotheby's said in a statement.
On the Origin of Species was voted the most influential academic book of all time in a public poll held during Academic Book Week in 2015.The book offers Darwin's revolutionary idea that species evolve over generations in the process of natural selection.
Darwin backed up his theory with evidence collected during his 1831—1836 voyage on the H.M S. Beagle, during which he observed and collected specimens (标本) from a number of species. On the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, Darwin noted that the finches(鸣雀)on the island were similar to finches on the mainland; however, the availability of different foods in each area had led to differences in beak shapes.
The manuscript will be placed on display at Sotheby's in New York between Nov.30 and Dec 8, and online bids will be accepted between Now.25 and Dec.8.The auction house estimates that the document will fetch between $600,000 and $790,000.
The auction, which is titled Age of Wonder, will also include a first edition of On the Origin of Species and a copy of scientific paper by Darwin and another naturalist.
4. What do we know about the manuscript
A. It’s a page of On the Origin of Species. B. It’s a draft of Darwin's scientific paper.
C. It’s a signed writing sample to an editor. D. It’s waste paper from Darwin's study.
5. What makes Darwin's On the Origin of Species the most influential academic book
A. His methods of research. B. His adventure on the sea.
C. The rare manuscript. D. His theory of evolution.
6. What does the underlined phrase “backed up” mean in Paragraph 5
A. supported B. explained C. declared D. created
7. What is the purpose of the auction
A. To put the manuscript on sale.
B. To display Darwin's works.
C. To vote the best academic books.
D. To release a new discovery.
C
Bilinguals are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth.
Science disagreed with these opinions, says Ellen Bialystok, a professor of psychology. The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way to investigate how different brains process language.
Bialystok has been researching the bilingual brain for decades. She firmly believes bilinguals aren’t smarter than the single-language learners, but bilingual brains differ in their use of executive function-a system that both helps the brain access particular regions or memories and allows a person to switch between tasks.
Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence, Bialystok adds. Even if the relationship between bilingualism and actual intelligence is unclear, executive function can help people do a lot of things that may make them seem smarter, such as doing more things at the same time and cancelling out things that take their attention away.
Many people believe that knowing at least one other language makes it easier to learn a new one, and cognitive function may play a part in that-the equivalent of good study habits for your brain. But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages’ structure and vocabulary. “In learning those patterns, you can get a bit of a free ride in learning a new language,” she says. Despite the overall cognitive benefits, bilingualism may present some disadvantages. When children learn vocabulary, monolinguals can spend more time remembering words in one language, while bilinguals have to construct two different vocabularies.
“The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international friends: It allows a person to understand a different way of thinking, with unique philosophies and assumptions about how others see the world,” Bialystok adds.
8. What did most educators think of children’s bilingualism before the 1970s
A. It surely made kids smarter. B. It could be a terrible experience.
C. It should be taught separately. D. It may promote cognitive growth.
9. What can make learning a new language easy according to Bialystok
A. Executive function. B. Cognitive function.
C. Similar language patterns. D. Good study habits.
10. What is Bialystok’s attitude toward bilingualism
A. Skeptical. B. Conservative. C. Tolerant. D. Objective.
11. Which could be the best title for the text
A. Are bilinguals really smarter B. Should kids learn another language
C. Why do bilinguals have an advantage D. What factors affect language learning
D
According to a study done by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad compared to those who only browsed for items.
More than half of the 1,000 consumers participating in the survey said they have impulsively (冲动地) shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression. Twenty-three percent of respondents said they’ve maxed out a credit card in the past year. Millennials, 68 percent, responded by saying they have stress spent in the past, compared with 53 percent of Gen Xers and only 26 percent of Baby Boomers.
By gender, 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress spent said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. 82 percent of women stress spent on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead stress spending for jewelry, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men, with men stress spending more for electronics, 44 percent versus 30 percent for women.
In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. Shopping to relieve stress is also known as retail therapy (疗法) as a form of regulating stress. The survey found that 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood boost that followed those purchases was long-lasting.
However, the side effect of retail therapy, for many, can start out as a relatively harmless mood booster but could possibly grow into an impulse that uses up money and cause conflict, thereby adding a significant amount of stress to a person’s life.
12. What can we know about Millennials according to the survey
A. They tend to max out their credit cards.
B. They bear more stress than Baby Boomers.
C. They are more likely to purchase to reduce anxiety.
D. They have an advantage over Gen Xers in managing stress.
13. Which of the following has topped the list when people have stress spent
A. Alcohol. B. Clothing.
C. Jewelry. D. Electronics.
14. What can be learned about retail therapy dealing with stress
A. It is harmless. B. It is highly recommended.
C. It promotes personal relationship. D. It can serve as a temporary solution.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Can Shopping Relieve Stress B. Where is Your Money Going
C. Shopping Habits across Generations D. A New Cure for Depression

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university. ____16____ For most students, a completely new environment is waiting to be explored.
We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone explore the huge campus. Although we knew she had flatmates and phone apps to get her to fit in, the challenge ahead was clear—to find her way in an unfamiliar world. ____17____
In a recent study, volunteers walked around a virtual forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest.___18___ According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) system—setting up their brains for memorizing things. Thus, they scored higher.
So leaving home to study makes perfect sense. ____19____ But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try:
◆ Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task—like memorizing a speech in the library, or revising for an exam in a park—and take an unfamiliar route to get there.
◆ ____20____To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’re tapped in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to visualize exactly how you’ll get out.
◆ Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip.
A. Get lost in your imagination.
B. Prepare yourself for a city tour.
C. But exploring places as such is beneficial to memory.
D. People prove to be more adaptable after new experience.
E. The latter group performed better in memory tests straight after.
F. There are new friends to meet and new responsibilities to accept.
G. Young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings.

Was she ___25___ confident Actually, she was a ___26___ girl and avoided the spotlight. But Misty loved music and movement. When she was thirteen, Misty’s teacher suggested she ___27___ a free ballet class at the Boys&Girls Club. For two weeks, Misty sat on the gym bench watching the class, afraid to ___28___. Finally, she gave it a ___29___. At first, she felt ____30____in the class. She didn’t know anything about ballet, and she was ____31____ than most of the students. Over time, ____32____, she began to enjoy the lessons. She discovered that her body — especially her long legs and flexible muscles — was just ____33____ for ballet. After the class season ended, Misty received a scholarship to a nearby dance studio. Most ballerinas (女舞者) start their training much younger than thirteen. But Misty’s natural abilities and hard work made her improve quickly.
Over the next five years, ballet was Misty’s ____34____. She practiced, performed, competed and attended ballet programs. “Performing was my favourite part because I felt ____35____ and open onstage,” she says. “For the first time in my life, I felt like I belonged.”

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I love to play the piano and I greatly enjoy performing my songs, so when the annual winter recital (音乐演奏会) was canceled, I was disappointed. I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs.
My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing thing into something worthwhile. “You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,” my mom suggested brightly. “I’m sure the seniors there who do not have families to visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs.”
I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only could I play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes.
My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming including many old classics.
When the exciting day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room.
Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound.

Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old.

The document was once thought to be a deserted page from an earlier manuscript of the work. But experts now understand it was written in 1865 and sent to the editor of the Autographic Mirror who had requested a signed writing sample from Darwin.
“While some of Darwin's notes and manuscript pages have survived over the last hundred or more years, he was known to keep revising his publications, often throwing away pages from working drafts as waste paper, making them extremely rare,” Sotheby's said in a statement.
On the Origin of Species was voted the most influential academic book of all time in a public poll held during Academic Book Week in 2015.The book offers Darwin's revolutionary idea that species evolve over generations in the process of natural selection.
Darwin backed up his theory with evidence collected during his 1831—1836 voyage on the H.M S. Beagle, during which he observed and collected specimens (标本) from a number of species. On the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, Darwin noted that the finches(鸣雀)on the island were similar to finches on the mainland; however, the availability of different foods in each area had led to differences in beak shapes.
The manuscript will be placed on display at Sotheby's in New York between Nov.30 and Dec 8, and online bids will be accepted between Now.25 and Dec.8.The auction house estimates that the document will fetch between $600,000 and $790,000.
The auction, which is titled Age of Wonder, will also include a first edition of On the Origin of Species and a copy of scientific paper by Darwin and another naturalist.
4. What do we know about the manuscript
A. It’s a page of On the Origin of Species. B. It’s a draft of Darwin's scientific paper.
C. It’s a signed writing sample to an editor. D. It’s waste paper from Darwin's study.
5. What makes Darwin's On the Origin of Species the most influential academic book

Bilinguals are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth.
Science disagreed with these opinions, says Ellen Bialystok, a professor of psychology. The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way to investigate how different brains process language.
Bialystok has been researching the bilingual brain for decades. She firmly believes bilinguals aren’t smarter than the single-language learners, but bilingual brains differ in their use of executive function-a system that both helps the brain access particular regions or memories and allows a person to switch between tasks.
Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence, Bialystok adds. Even if the relationship between bilingualism and actual intelligence is unclear, executive function can help people do a lot of things that may make them seem smarter, such as doing more things at the same time and cancelling out things that take their attention away.
Many people believe that knowing at least one other language makes it easier to learn a new one, and cognitive function may play a part in that-the equivalent of good study habits for your brain. But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages’ structure and vocabulary. “In learning those patterns, you can get a bit of a free ride in learning a new language,” she says. Despite the overall cognitive benefits, bilingualism may present some disadvantages. When children learn vocabulary, monolinguals can spend more time remembering words in one language, while bilinguals have to construct two different vocabularies.
“The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international friends: It allows a person to understand a different way of thinking, with unique philosophies and assumptions about how others see the world,” Bialystok adds.
8. What did most educators think of children’s bilingualism before the 1970s
A. It surely made kids smarter. B. It could be a terrible experience.
C. It should be taught separately. D. It may promote cognitive growth.
9. What can make learning a new language easy according to Bialystok
A. Executive function. B. Cognitive function.
C. Similar language patterns. D. Good study habits.
10. What is Bialystok’s attitude toward bilingualism
A. Skeptical. B. Conservative. C. Tolerant. D. Objective.
11. Which could be the best title for the text
A. Are bilinguals really smarter B. Should kids learn another language
C. Why do bilinguals have an advantage D. What factors affect language learning
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A

The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way to investigate how different brains process language.(心理学教授Ellen Bialystok说，科学不同意这些观点。20世纪70年代新技术的出现让科学家们有了新的方法来研究不同的大脑如何处理语言)”结合通读全文可知，文章主要探讨了双语学习能否使人变得更聪明这一话题。A选项“双语者真的更聪明吗？”最符合文章标题。故选A。

According to a study done by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad compared to those who only browsed for items.
More than half of the 1,000 consumers participating in the survey said they have impulsively (冲动地) shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression. Twenty-three percent of respondents said they’ve maxed out a credit card in the past year. Millennials, 68 percent, responded by saying they have stress spent in the past, compared with 53 percent of Gen Xers and only 26 percent of Baby Boomers.
By gender, 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress spent said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. 82 percent of women stress spent on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead stress spending for jewelry, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men, with men stress spending more for electronics, 44 percent versus 30 percent for women.
In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. Shopping to relieve stress is also known as retail therapy (疗法) as a form of regulating stress. The survey found that 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood boost that followed those purchases was long-lasting.
However, the side effect of retail therapy, for many, can start out as a relatively harmless mood booster but could possibly grow into an impulse that uses up money and cause conflict, thereby adding a significant amount of stress to a person’s life.
12. What can we know about Millennials according to the survey
A. They tend to max out their credit cards.
B. They bear more stress than Baby Boomers.
C. They are more likely to purchase to reduce anxiety.
D. They have an advantage over Gen Xers in managing stress.
13. Which of the following has topped the list when people have stress spent
A. Alcohol. B. Clothing.
C. Jewelry. D. Electronics.
14. What can be learned about retail therapy dealing with stress
A. It is harmless. B. It is highly recommended.
C. It promotes personal relationship. D. It can serve as a temporary solution.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Can Shopping Relieve Stress B. Where is Your Money Going
C. Shopping Habits across Generations D. A New Cure for Depression

第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university. ____16____ For most students, a completely new environment is waiting to be explored.
We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone explore the huge campus. Although we knew she had flatmates and phone apps to get her to fit in, the challenge ahead was clear—to find her way in an unfamiliar world. ____17____
In a recent study, volunteers walked around a virtual forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest.___18___ According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) system—setting up their brains for memorizing things. Thus, they scored higher.
So leaving home to study makes perfect sense. ____19____ But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try:
◆ Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task—like memorizing a speech in the library or revising for an exam in a park—and take an unfamiliar route to get there.
◆ ____20____To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’re tapped in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to visualize exactly how you’ll get out.
◆ Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip.
A. Get lost in your imagination.
B. Prepare yourself for a city tour.
C. But exploring places as such is beneficial to memory.
D. People prove to be more adaptable after new experience.
E. The latter group performed better in memory tests straight after.
F There are new friends to meet and new responsibilities to accept.
G. Young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. A

【导语】本文是篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己女儿的例子，表达了人们在一个陌生的新的环境中，应该勇于探索和尝试的观点，作者认为这会给人们带来好处，并给出了一些具体的做法和建议。
【16题详解】
根据上一句“There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university.”（当你离开家去上大学时，有很多事情要处理。），选项F. There are new friends to meet and new responsibilities to accept. （有新朋友要认识，有新的责任要承担。）补充说明了离开家去上大学时会面对的情况，与上一句是并列递进关系，承接上文，衔接合理。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据前文“It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone explore the huge campus.”（找到停车场都很困难，更不用说探索这个巨大的校园了。）和“Although we knew she had flatmates and phone apps to get her to fit in, the challenge ahead was clear—to find her way in an unfamiliar world. ”（虽然我们知道她有室友和手机应用程序让她适应环境，但前方的挑战很明显——在一个陌生的世界里找到自己的路。）可知，前文表达了目前主要的挑战是适应新环境，而不是探索校园；但根据第三段“According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) system—setting up their brains for memorizing things. ”（根据研究人员的说法，这是因为探索新环境刺激了他们的多巴胺系统—建立他们的大脑来记忆东西。）可知，探索新环境对大脑记忆是有好处的，所以选项C. But exploring places as such is beneficial to memory.（但探索这样的地方对记忆是有益的。）与前文有转折关系，合理引出了下文，符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上一句“Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest”（于是，他们中的一些人又走了一次同样的路，而另一些人则探索了另一片不同的森林）可知，前组的成员走的老路，后组的成员探索了新路；结合下一句“According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) system—setting up their brains for memorizing things. Thus, they scored higher.”（根据研究人员的说法，这是因为探索新环境刺激了他们的多巴胺系统—建立他们的大脑来记忆东西。因此，他们的得分更高。）可知，后组的成员在大脑记忆方面的测试得分更高，表现更好，与选项E. The latter group performed better in memory tests straight after.（后一组在接下来的记忆测试中表现更好。）句意相符，下一句是对选项E的具体解释。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据下一句“But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills.”（但我们也许都能从中获益，即使只是通过刺激我们的感官和挑战我们的思维能力。）中的“But”和“all”和句意可知，空处应该是指某一部分人会从中获益，选项G. Young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings.（年轻人似乎从陌生的环境中获益最多。）表达了这层含义，与下文衔接合理。故选G。
【20题详解】
空处为段落主题句，根据最后两段可知，应该为祈使句，故答案选自A或B；根据下一句“To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’re tapped in a part of it that you’ve never visited.”（为了给自己的学习热身，想象一个你熟悉的城市，但想象你身处其中一个你从未去过的地方。）可知，本段主要讲述要善于想象；选项A. Get lost in your imagination.（沉浸在你的想象中。）与其语意相符，符合语境。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查代词。句意：作为中国改革开放的先驱城市，深圳将允许全自动驾驶汽车在特定区域的道路上行驶，无需人工控制设备。此处用所给代词的形容词性物主代词修饰空后的名词kind。故填its。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为中国改革开放的先驱城市，深圳将允许全自动驾驶汽车在特定区域的道路上行驶，无需人工控制设备。短语allow sb./sth. to do sth意为“允许某人或某物做某事”，此处动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to run。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：广东省深圳市公布了一项为中国智能互联汽车管理量身定制的新规定，定于8月1日生效。此处特指前文提到的深圳市，故用定冠词。故填The。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：新规将填补国内智能联网汽车的法律空白，称汽车制造商不必为完全自动驾驶汽车配备手动驾驶模式和相应设备，也不必有人类司机。此处修饰动词短语have to应用副词necessarily。故填necessarily。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：根据深圳市人大官网公布的这项规定，这种全自动驾驶车辆只能在深圳市交通管理部门选定的特定道路和路段行驶。分析句子成分可知，此处填非谓语动词，动词select与其逻辑主语certain roads and sections存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故此处用所给动词的过去分词作后置定语。故填selected。

【42题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：有条件自动驾驶和高度自动驾驶的车辆必须有手动驾驶模式和相应的装置，并配备驾驶员。动词equip与主语Conditionally autonomous and highly autonomous vehicles存在动宾关系，又因为前面有情态动词must，故填be equipped。
【43题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意：同时，该规定明确了涉及自动驾驶的交通事故的责任和车险范围，这有望推动自动驾驶汽车的快速发展。根据Meanwhile可知，此处的谓语动词与前文的谓语动词said、classified的时态一致，故此处用一般过去时。故填clarified。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：同时，该规定明确了涉及自动驾驶的交通事故的责任和车险范围，这有望推动自动驾驶汽车的快速发展。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，先行词是car accidents，故此处用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：同时，该规定明确了涉及自动驾驶的交通事故的责任和车险范围，这有望推动自动驾驶汽车的快速发展。根据空前的the和空后的of可知，此处用所给动词的名词development，作宾语，不可数。故填development。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I love to play the piano and I greatly enjoy performing my songs, so when the annual winter recital (音乐演奏会) was canceled, I was disappointed. I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs.
My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing thing into something worthwhile. “You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,” my mom suggested brightly. “I’m sure the seniors there who do not have families to visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs.”
I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only could I play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes.
My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming including many old classics.
When the exciting day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room.
Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage.

Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. Feeling as if the whole world was watching me, I was struck dead with embarrassment. How could I perform the song without the piano I was on pins and needles when Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd of dinners and announced in a comforting tone, “This girl has come to sing for us but the piano seems to be a little nervous.” Almost immediately, there was scattered applause and several people stepped forward to help me plug in the piano and set the microphone. With everything ready, I took a deep breath and commenced my performance.
Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. One woman got up and began to animatedly dance in the room. Some of the people swayed in their chairs to the beat of the music while others tapped theirs toes. The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd. I realized that it was far better than a piano recital because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I’ m proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them. It ended up being a blessing in disguise that the recital was canceled, leading to me sharing the gift of music with those who needed it most.
