We were in financial trouble, so she said politely, “Sorry, son, but we cant now.”I searched the measurements on the Internet for a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my Grade 1 after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldnt afford lessons again. I passed Grade 3, and then Grade 5, practicing only on my piece of paper. One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time that I played for her and she was in shock.My school didnt offer music Alevel. I found The Purcell School for young musicians, but the tryouts were difficult. Some of the questions even involved an evaluation of the composer. I was at a loss. But to my amazement, I was offered a place. At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano. When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and academic music prize. Im now at the Guildhall School of Drama & Music in London. I feel proud its been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and Im at one of the worlds leading music schools.Surprisingly, I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano, which we call mental practice. The paper piano helped promote my curiosity about how music works.1Why did the mother buy the author piano lessons?AShe believed he had a talent for piano.BShe found he was eager to learn piano.CShe was shocked by his first performance.DShe got out of her familys financial difficulties.2Which of the following words best describes the author?AHonest.

Our dog trainer advised us to stop worrying. “Shes a teenager，” she said. “Shell grow out of it.” Now, a new study is backing that up: Dogs experience an extremely sensitive period at the beginning of adolescence that makes them act out, just like human teenagers.To see exactly how adolescence changes dog behavior, the researchers monitored 70 female German shepherds raised as potential guide dogs. They asked caregivers to score the puppies on their attachment and attentionseeking behavior, such as sitting very close to their owner or displaying a particularly strong bond for one person.Dogs with high scores on either scale entered adolescence earlier at about 5 months, compared with 8 months for those with lower scores. Various reasons cause human teenage girls with poor parental relationships to also enter adolescence at a younger age. Thus, similar to humans, dogs that have tense relationships with their caregivers see changes in their reproductive development.To test obedience (顺从), the scientists assessed a separate group of 69 guide dogs, first at 5 months and later at 8 months. They asked the dogs caregiver and a stranger to give the command to “sit”. All of the preadolescent puppies quickly sat for both people, but when the same puppies reached adolescence, many “repeatedly” refused to follow the order from their caregiver. However, they readily and annoyingly obeyed the stranger. Dogs that werent securely attached to their caregivers were even more willing to follow the strangers commands again, much like human teenagers.Because of the similarities between adolescent puppies and humans, dogs could serve as a model species for studying adolescence in humans, the scientists say. And on a more practical note, the temporary nature of dog disobedience might make us worry less when our puppies suddenly get minds of their own.4What makes the Scottish puppy disobey its owner?AIts being treated badly.BIts naughty nature.CIts relation with the owner.DIts being adolescent.5What do the scores in the study suggest?AHigher scores probably mean earlier adolescence.BThe lower the score, the tenser the relationship.CA puppy with a lower score could be a guide dog.DA girl scoring higher gets on well with her parents.6What is the result of the obedience test?AHuman teens have a strong bond with puppies.BPuppies enter adolescence at the age of 5 months old.CThe 69 guide dogs can understand caregivers well.DAdolescent dogs without enough care prefer to follow the stranger.7Whats the potential significance of the study? ATo understand your dogs behavior. BTo better study human adolescence. CTo show the process of research. DTo help pet owners solve a puzzle.七选五2020潍坊市高三第一学期期末 Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your friendship. _1_ Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible._2_ Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but thats not always the case.
