It was not easy to learn different kinds of musical instruments well at the same time. I still remembered when I took my piano lessons, my mother said worriedly to my father, “Why hasn’t he made any progress with so much practice?” I tried to play the piano better. However, my parents never got a strong feeling of satisfaction with my piano performance.

From then on, I didn’t play any musical instrument until my old friend Larry invited me to play the violin with him when I was 60. It made me enjoy the joy of playing music again. One day, Larry asked me to take part in a violin performance with him. At first, thinking of my past, I wanted to refuse. I expected to hear his words that I would become more skilled with practice on stage （舞台） . But he said, “OK, only play if you want to. “I was shocked by the unexpected answer.

In fact, nobody made me do it, so I had to make a choice by myself. I was willing to catch the chance this time. After a long and careful preparation, I played the violin with Larry. Though I didn’t lose all my nervousness, it was enough for me to overcome my fear. Finally, I offered a full performance in front of the audience （观众） .

However, happy times always didn’t last long, my friend Larry passed away . It was a hard hit, but his influence stayed. It helped me not only in music, but on all sides of my life. Whenever I paid attention to what I wanted to do, joy usually took the place of fear.

Although it was only five francs, Vincent was very happy. He took the money and said thanks, thinking that he could buy some food and pay the rent.

Near his home, Vincent saw a little girl in old clothes standing in the snow.

The girl smiled sadly at the artist asking for some help. Clearly, the girl was hungry and cold.

That was the end of the term. When we were studying something about DNA, Mr. K wak,the science teacher, told us to prepare for a debate（辩论）. I was a little worried. We found we were against a group which was filled with native English⁃speaking students, while there was only one American boy in our group. However, we didn’t dread the challenge. Our topic was “Should college accept students based on their DNA traits（特征）?”We opposed this thought.

I took the role of Q&A. When I went back to the dormitory, I asked for help from an experienced debater in college. He taught me how to express ideas, search for information on different websites and list the points.

After a week’s preparation, I stood on the stage with a well⁃thought plan in my mind. Then I noticed that the hope of our group, the American boy, was sick that day. His position of first speaker was empty. I had to take his position and plan my materials and data again. Before the debate, I kept asking myself what if I couldn’t understand what they were saying, and what if they included some idioms（惯用语）that I didn’t even know. I was even nervous. But when I stood in front of the whole class, I saw trust and encouragement from my group members. I started to cool down. I fluently stated our opinions and asked questions. When our opponents（对手）had their opening speech, I wrote down some points to retort（反驳）them. Although Mr. K wak didn’t tell me who won the debate, I believe I have already learned a lot. Never lose confidence and you will surely win.

A. She learned some English idioms.

B. She asked for help from her teacher.

C. She searched for information on the Internet.

4. When did the writer calm down?

B. When she saw support from her group members.

C. When she found one of her group members was sick.
