二、
There was a man playing the piano in a bar. He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar. People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn't want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.
The man said, "I don't sing."
But the customer was persistent(执意的). He told the bar manager, "I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing!"
The manager shouted across the room, "If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing!"
So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song Mona Lisa. He got lots of applause(掌声) that night.
He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. However, now he has become one of the best-known singers in America.
You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your "talent" is not as great as the singer above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, most skills can be improved. So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!
1.Why did the man start to sing
A.Because he wanted to make more money.
B.Because the bar manager said he liked his song.
C.Because the manager asked him to sing at the request of a customer.
D.Because he wanted to show everyone that he had a talent for singing.
2.What do you think of the bar manager
A.Strict. B.Rude. C.Patient. D.Kind.
3.What do the underlined words "he just had been sitting on his talent" probably mean
A.He didn't discover his talent. B.He didn't play the piano.
C.He had no talent for singing. D.He hated to sing.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Some people really have no skills or abilities.
B.None of us is as great as the singer.
C.Sometimes through effort we can know our talents.
D.No skills can be improved even if you try your best.
三、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Throughout history, music spread among people of different cultures. In today's technologically advanced society, however, people spread music online, sometimes without an artist's permission. This can lead to many problems, and music companies are now dealing with this practice. Sharing music online without permission is a theft.
Sharing music online prevents recording companies from making money through their efforts. They say that sharing music online has led to a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every downloaded MP3. To truly understand the influence of music piracy(盗版行为) on creators, we must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts the business of all companies involved.
There are many people who don't see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for an entire CD and that he should be able to do with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the music, he does not have the right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves.
Although we don't spread today's music the same way we did before, there's no doubt that people around the world love to share music. However, Internet piracy would prevent musicians from continuing producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profits to continue their music careers.
