What do you do when you’re born with two fingers on each hand and your legs are missing at the knees when you’re three? Well, if you’re Hee Al Lee, you become a concert pianist. She is quite a pro at it now, and you will love hearing her play.
Lee’s mother became unexpectedly pregnant while married to a disabled man. Doctors told her that because of a medication she had been taking her child would not be normal. She elected to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her leg, and slight brain injury. Her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country. However, Sun decide to bring her up.
When Lee was a pre-schooler her mother decided that she wanted her daughter to take piano lessons. One reason was that she thought it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil. The other was that she thought that if she could master the piano, she could master anything. For six months they turn down by piano schools. Then the teacher who accepted the task got discouraged. After a three-month contest of wills between mother and daughter, one day Sun threw her daughter on the floor in frustration. She said Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played the children’s song she had been trying to learn. That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners.
Today Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than 200 appearances. Lee gives tribute to her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, “As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend.”

57. Lee’s mother thought that playing the piano_______.
A. could help Lee grow taller
B. could help Lee achieve other skills
C. could cure Lee’s disability

58. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Lee’s teacher liked her very much and she was confident to teacher her well.
B. One of Lee’s foreign relatives would like to adopt her.
C. Lee’s mother was once discouraged before the turning point.
D. Lee has mental illness because her brain was injured when she was born.

Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance（担保） that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal.
Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.
Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.
"If you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.
"Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter, " Lopes said.
