Darrius was born with three fingers on his right hand and one on his left hand. He had to work hard to do things that were easy for others. Every time his classmates tried to help, he would say, “Thanks, but I can do it myself.” He learned to use the four fingers to do different things.
When Darrius was 10, he told his father that he liked piano music very much. “It’s too bad you can’t play,” his father said. But the boy took that as a challenge. “I will show people that I can,” he said to himself.
Months later, a neighbor gave him an old piano when she moved away. He taught himself to play the piano and practiced for hours a day.
Darrius’s favorite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius a year to learn it. “I have to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers,” he said. When he succeeded, he felt so proud. Later he was lucky enough to play the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall! Yiruma encouraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music. Darrius has made it. And his music is popular today.

Without doubt, A Little Red Flower directed by Han Yan was one of the most successful movies in China at the beginning of this year. The movie tells a story about two families fighting cancer(癌症).
Wei Yihang, a boy who has cancer, says he is able to “see days yet to come”. One day, he meets a cancer girl named Ma Xiaoyuan, who believes in “Parallel(平行的) World”. They fall in love with each other soon. With the help of their families, they fight against cancer bravely and long for(渴望) a beautiful life.
The movie tells us: Instead of something to fear, disease(疾病) and death are the common states in life. Just as Weis mother Tao Hui tells him: “Everyone in life experiences loss, which we are all afraid of. Yet when it happens, the most powerful weapon we have against it is to live each moment to the fullest. Every second counts.”
The movie, which was put on for the first time on December 31, 2021, earned a total of 1.16 billion RMB as of January 17. Although something about the movie is not perfect, many people still love it. The movie scores 7.4 on Douban which is Chinas most popular film review platform(平台).

Is there a connection between music and language According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain.
A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a persons hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly.
“Musicians hear better,” says study leader Nina Kraus, “because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra(管弦乐队), they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore(忽视) the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise.”
Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. But they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak. Why does this work Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again.
So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older.
( )57.What were the people in the first group asked to do in the study of Northwestern University
A.Listen to different kinds of music.
B.Make some noise in an empty room.
C.Give the second group musical training.
D.Find out what the talking person was saying.
( )58.The writer uses the example of violinists in Paragraph 3 to explain .

C.To show the relationship between music and language abilities.

Though he worked as a fast food courier in Hangzhou later, his love for poems never died. Even on his busiest workdays, he used any available moment to recite poems. “For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants, and traffic lights on my way to deliver food.

To me, music is food and water. I can’t live without it. I know this is not true for everyone. Many people don’t go to concerts or listen to music records, but they get along quite well. But music is everywhere in our life. For example, when you watch films or TV plays, do you find them interesting if there is no music You would find them boring. And when you are waiting for the train or the plane, you would like a piece of music because it makes the time seem shorter.
It is true that music is everywhere in our life. Some people like to sit by the sea and listen to the sound of the sea. Some enjoy listening to the singing of the birds. Those sounds are some kind of music. So music has meaning to everyone in some ways. Of course, it has special meaning to people like me. We spend our lives playing or writing music.
