A
Maybe you only think about bread in terms of what holds your sandwich together. But bread has played such an important role in our lives for thousands of years that words and phrases relating to it have crept into our everyday vocabularies.
Breadwinner
Have you ever heard your mom or dad referred to as the breadwinner of the household No, they aren’t running a race to win a loaf of bread for dinner or entering some weird lottery at the bakery. Since “bread” is a term for the basic food and drink that everyone needs, “breadwinner” refers to the person who is the main provider for a family, the one who earns the money to bring home the “bread” that their family needs. Today, usually both mom and dad are breadwinners.
Breadbasket
It may sound like something they bring the breadsticks in at a restaurant, but a breadbasket actually has other meanings besides bread holder. A region of a country that grows a lot of grain, like the Midwest region of the United States, is often called that country’s breadbasket, since it provides the raw materials for much of its bread. Oddly enough, breadbasket is also a slang term for a person’s stomach—where they “keep” their bread after eating it!
Best thing since sliced bread
This probably sounds weird, since most of us buy our bread at the grocery store, perfectly pre-sliced. But once people could only buy unsliced bread, they had to carefully cut each piece with a knife. In 1928, Otto Rohwedder invented a bread-slicing machine. Today the term is usually used in referring to a brilliant idea or the perfect device like those mysterious kitchen wares.
Bread and Butter
When the man at the auto repair shop says that flat tires are his “bread and butter”, he’s not on some strange new diet. This phrase refers to a task or job that’s a basic means of making a living—in this case, fixing flat tires—which provides the most money for the essentials of everyday life.
1. Which of the following expressions can be used to refer to an organ
A. Breadwinner. B. Breadbasket.
C. Best thing since sliced bread. D. Bread and butter.
2. In which situation will people say “It is the best thing since sliced bread”
A. A man puts forward a wonderful proposal.
B. A college graduate found a high paid job.
C. A wife praises herself for raising her family.
D. A boy wins a competition for loafs of bread.
3. In which section of a magazine may this text appear
A. Travel. B. Cuisine. C. Education. D. Culture.
B
Life has been hard for Chinese villager Zu Wenbao, who is in his early 20s. But thanks to Beijing-based Chen’s Studio, music has become his saving grace. Zu has autism (自闭症), which has meant Zu was unable to fit in at school or among other young people. All that changed when he started learning music at Chen’s Studio.
Zu, joined the five-studio school in 2020. He has since learned to play the keyboard, and sings along with the other members of the “Star Kids” band that their teacher, Chen Shensi, set up in 2021 for people with autism. “Without music and band, he wouldn’t have any peers to socialise with,” said Zu’s mother, who travels with her son every Sunday for two hours on three different buses from their current home in the suburb of Beijing so that he can attend classes. “Even though some kids taking music classes are younger than him and half his size, they all take care of him like he’s their brother.”
Eager to help more people with autism, Chen started free-of-charge lessons. “Life for them has been hard, and I wanted to do as much as I could to give them joy through music,” he said. Chen admits he was very frustrated at first with his students because he had to repeat himself many times. Disciplining the class was also tough, but eventually, the students started communicating better with him and each other.
People with autism tend to find it difficult to get jobs, but Chen hopes he can change that by giving his students a way to earn a living: the “Star Kids” band has already performed in several concerts at events held at campsites on the suburbs of Beijing. “It’s just difficult for them to communicate normally with other people, let alone work in a typical job, but they might be able to make a living as artists. To some degree, I think music might be their language,” Chen said.
4. What might be the main reason for Zu attending Chen’s studio
A. Chen found Zu’s talent for keyboard. B. Chen’s studio was the best in Beijing.
C. Zu was born enthusiastic about music. D. Zu couldn’t integrate into a normal school.
5. What did Zu gain from Chen’s studio
A. Attention from society. B. Extraordinary musical skills.
C. Admiration of other students. D. Chances to communicate with peers.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Chen
A. Creative and generous. B. Devoted and intelligent.
C. Responsible and caring. D. Considerate and cooperative.
7. What is the intention of Chen setting up the studio
A. To instruct his students to get a degree in music and language.
B. To help his students master a way to earn a living through music.
C. To teach some communication skills to his students with autism.
D. To make money through performing concerts at the edge of Beijing.

Baidu has unveiled plans for an electric self-driving car with a removable steering wheel, marking another step forward in the fast-moving robotaxi race in China. The Chinese tech giant revealed the Apollo RT6, its sixth-generation autonomous vehicle, at Baidu World 2022, the company’s annual flagship conference.
Baidu’s ride-hailing (叫车) service, Apollo Go, now running on a trial basis in 10 cities in China, including Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing, has provided more than one million rides since 2020. The new vehicle is to be rolled out through that program sometime next year. At that time, it will be avaible to the public.
According to Baidu, this new model has the road skills of a driver with 20 years’ experience. And the vehicle is packed with 38 sensors, including 8 light detection and ranging sensors, 6 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 12 cameras. One day, Baidu says, the RT6’s removable steering wheel could be replaced by things like extra seats, vending machines (自动售货机), desktops, or even games consoles (游戏机).
The company also mentions each Apollo RT6 would cost 250,000 yuan, significantly less than previous models. Those cost savings will be passed on to passengers as the company prepares to introduce the RT6 to its existing fleet of robotaxis around the country in the second half of 2023, according to Robin Li, cofounder and CEO of Baidu. “This massive cost reduction will enable us to deploy (部署) tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across China. We are moving toward a future where taking a robotaxi will be half the cost of taking a taxi today,” Li said in a statement.
Baidu made its name as a massive search engine provider, but it has also long invested in self-driving technology in the world’s largest car market. In April, the company announced that it would start letting people in certain areas book taxi rides without anyone behind the wheel. The creation of Apollo RT6 marks another milestone for Baidu’s goal of providing safer, greener and more efficient mobility solutions.
8. What does the underlined phrase “rolled out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Invented. B. Canceled. C. Launched. D. Produced.
9 What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. The cost of taking a taxi will be less than that of today.
B. More autonomous vehicles might be available across China.
C. Baidu will set up a new fleet of RT6 in the second half of 2023.
D. Apollo RT6 will take the place of traditional taxies completely.
10. What’s the author’s attitude to the creation of Apollo RT6
A. Skeptical. B. Intolerant. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Baidu put forward a new generation robotaxi plan.
B. Baidu has found a good solution to green mobility.
C. Baidu succeeded in cutting down the cost of robotaxi.
D. Baidu took the lead in electric self-driving car globally.
D
People tend to pay less attention to tasks when working alongside a robot, according to research that found evidence of “social loafing”, where team members work less hard if they think others will cover for them.
Researchers at the Technical University of Berlin said people come to see robots as part of their team. Where they think a colleague or the technology performs particularly well, or where they think their own contribution would not be appreciated, people tend to take a more laid-back approach.
“Teamwork is a mixed blessing,” said Dietlind Helene Cymek (DHC), the first author of the study. “Working together can motivate people to perform well but it can also lead to a loss of motivation because the individual contribution is not as visible. We were interested in whether we could also find such motivational effects when the team partner is a robot.”
The team tested their hypothesis by asking a group of workers to check the quality of a series of tasks. The workers were all asked to carry out checks for errors on circuit boards (电路板). Half of them were told the tasks were also performed by a robot. While they did not work directly with the robot, named Panda, those people had seen it and were able to hear it operating.
Their activity was monitored by the researchers, who blurred out the images of the boards the workers received, only showing them an image they could check once they actively opened it.
Initially, they said they found no statistical difference in the time the two groups — those who were told they were working with a robot and those who were not — spent inspecting the circuit boards, or in the area they searched for errors.
However, when the researchers investigated the participants’ error rates, they found those knowing Panda’s presence were catching fewer defects after they had seen the robot had successfully flagged many errors. They said this could reflect a “looking but not seeing” effect, where people engage less once they feel a colleague or resource is reliable.
While participants who were asked to rate their own performance thought they were paying an equivalent amount of attention, the researchers felt that subconsciously they had begun to assume Panda had picked up defects well.
12. Why do people pay less attention to tasks when working with a robot
A. They see the robot as their colleague.
B. They think the robot can cover all tasks.
C. They believe their performance will be appreciated.
D. They feel unvalued about their personal contribution.
13. What does DHC mean by saying “Teamwork is a mixed blessing”
A. Teamwork is of great help for workers.
B. Teamwork can improve work efficiency.
C. Teamwork involves different kinds of weaknesses.
D. Teamwork has both advantages and disadvantages.
14. What did the workers need to do during the researchers’ test
A. They need to blur out the images of the circuit boards.
B. They need to check errors on circuit boards with robots.
C. They need to see and hear how the robots were operating.
D. They need to monitor the robots to check the quality of circuit boards.
15. Which of the following can best describe the procedure of the study
A. Group→Instruct→Monitor→Rate
B. Question→Detect→Demonstrate→Collect
C. Monitor→Group→Investigate→Rate
D. Monitor→Investigate→Reflect→Instruct

My father’s gift
I still remembered the day when my father showed me a case as if it were a treasure chest. “Here is a gift for you.” he said excitedly. “Once you learn to play the accordion (手风琴), it’ll stay with you for life.” I forced a smile. Accordions were never on my list of favorite instruments.
Then Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week. In disbelief I shot my eyes toward Mom for support. No luck. Shortly after, my lessons began.
I was ordered to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. My future shouldn’t be in the house mastering songs I would soon forget. But my father was completely against it. Nevertheless, I had to keep going.
Gradually, to my surprise, I began to notice improvement. I was able to play simple songs. Often, after supper, my father would request a tune or two. “Very nice, better than last week,” he’d say in his easy chair, sometimes drifting off to sleep, newspapers folded on his lap. I took it as a praise that he could relax under the spell of my playing.
One July evening I was giving an almost perfect performance of “Come Back to Sorrento”, and my parents called me to an open window. An elderly neighbor, rarely seen outside her house, was leaning against our car humming (哼唱) dreamily to the tune. When I finished, she smiled broadly and called out, “I remember that song as a child in Italy. Beautiful, just beautiful.”
For the next months I dutifully followed my father’s instructions, practicing hour after hour, day after day. My fingers were often sore and my arms ached, but I never quit it.
One day on our way back home, I was told to prepare for a solo on a local theater’s stage. I wanted to skip the whole thing. Emotions boiled over in the car.
“I don’t want to play a solo,” I said.
”You have to,“ replied my father.
”Why ” I shouted, “Why should I have to play this stupid instrument ”

Taking a deep breath, my father turned around.

Maybe you only think about bread in terms of what holds your sandwich together. But bread has played such an important role in our lives for thousands of years that words and phrases relating to it have crept into our everyday vocabularies.
Breadwinner
Have you ever heard your mom or dad referred to as the breadwinner of the household No, they aren’t running a race to win a loaf of bread for dinner or entering some weird lottery at the bakery. Since “bread” is a term for the basic food and drink that everyone needs, “breadwinner” refers to the person who is the main provider for a family, the one who earns the money to bring home the “bread” that their family needs. Today, usually both mom and dad are breadwinners.
Breadbasket
It may sound like something they bring the breadsticks in at a restaurant, but a breadbasket actually has other meanings besides bread holder. A region of a country that grows a lot of grain, like the Midwest region of the United States, is often called that country’s breadbasket, since it provides the raw materials for much of its bread. Oddly enough, breadbasket is also a slang term for a person’s stomach—where they “keep” their bread after eating it!
Best thing since sliced bread
This probably sounds weird, since most of us buy our bread at the grocery store, perfectly pre-sliced. But once people could only buy unsliced bread, they had to carefully cut each piece with a knife. In 1928, Otto Rohwedder invented a bread-slicing machine. Today the term is usually used in referring to a brilliant idea or the perfect device like those mysterious kitchen wares.
Bread and Butter
When the man at the auto repair shop says that flat tires are his “bread and butter”, he’s not on some strange new diet. This phrase refers to a task or job that’s a basic means of making a living—in this case, fixing flat tires—which provides the most money for the essentials of everyday life.

Life has been hard for Chinese villager Zu Wenbao, who is in his early 20s. But thanks to Beijing-based Chen’s Studio, music has become his saving grace. Zu has autism (自闭症), which has meant Zu was unable to fit in at school or among other young people. All that changed when he started learning music at Chen’s Studio.
Zu, joined the five-studio school in 2020. He has since learned to play the keyboard, and sings along with the other members of the “Star Kids” band that their teacher, Chen Shensi, set up in 2021 for people with autism. “Without music and band, he wouldn’t have any peers to socialise with,” said Zu’s mother, who travels with her son every Sunday for two hours on three different buses from their current home in the suburb of Beijing so that he can attend classes. “Even though some kids taking music classes are younger than him and half his size, they all take care of him like he’s their brother.”
Eager to help more people with autism Chen started free-of-charge lessons. “Life for them has been hard, and I wanted to do as much as I could to give them joy through music,” he said. Chen admits he was very frustrated at first with his students because he had to repeat himself many times. Disciplining the class was also tough, but eventually, the students started communicating better with him and each other.
People with autism tend to find it difficult to get jobs, but Chen hopes he can change that by giving his students a way to earn a living: the “Star Kids” band has already performed in several concerts at events held at campsites on the suburbs of Beijing. “It’s just difficult for them to communicate normally with other people, let alone work in a typical job, but they might be able to make a living as artists. To some degree, I think music might be their language,” Chen said.
4. What might be the main reason for Zu attending Chen’s studio
A. Chen found Zu’s talent for keyboard. B. Chen’s studio was the best in Beijing.
C. Zu was born enthusiastic about music. D. Zu couldn’t integrate into a normal school.
5. What did Zu gain from Chen’s studio
A. Attention from society. B. Extraordinary musical skills.
C. Admiration of other students. D. Chances to communicate with peers.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Chen
A. Creative and generous. B. Devoted and intelligent.
C. Responsible and caring. D. Considerate and cooperative.
7. What is the intention of Chen setting up the studio
A To instruct his students to get a degree in music and language.
B. To help his students master a way to earn a living through music.
C. To teach some communication skills to his students with autism.
D. To make money through performing concerts at the edge of Beijing.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B

Baidu has unveiled plans for an electric self-driving car with a removable steering wheel, marking another step forward in the fast-moving robotaxi race in China. The Chinese tech giant revealed the Apollo RT6, its sixth-generation autonomous vehicle, at Baidu World 2022, the company’s annual flagship conference.
Baidu’s ride-hailing (叫车) service, Apollo Go, now running on a trial basis in 10 cities in China, including Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing, has provided more than one million rides since 2020. The new vehicle is to be rolled out through that program sometime next year. At that time, it will be avaible to the public.
According to Baidu, this new model has the road skills of a driver with 20 years’ experience. And the vehicle is packed with 38 sensors, including 8 light detection and ranging sensors, 6 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 12 cameras. One day, Baidu says, the RT6’s removable steering wheel could be replaced by things like extra seats, vending machines (自动售货机), desktops, or even games consoles (游戏机).
The company also mentions each Apollo RT6 would cost 250,000 yuan, significantly less than previous models. Those cost savings will be passed on to passengers as the company prepares to introduce the RT6 to its existing fleet of robotaxis around the country in the second half of 2023, according to Robin Li, cofounder and CEO of Baidu. “This massive cost reduction will enable us to deploy (部署) tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across China. We are moving toward a future where taking a robotaxi will be half the cost of taking a taxi today,” Li said in a statement.
Baidu made its name as a massive search engine provider, but it has also long invested in self-driving technology in the world’s largest car market. In April, the company announced that it would start letting people in certain areas book taxi rides without anyone behind the wheel. The creation of Apollo RT6 marks another milestone for Baidu’s goal of providing safer, greener and more efficient mobility solutions.
8. What does the underlined phrase “rolled out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Invented. B. Canceled. C. Launched. D. Produced.
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. The cost of taking a taxi will be less than that of today.
B. More autonomous vehicles might be available across China.
C. Baidu will set up a new fleet of RT6 in the second half of 2023.
D. Apollo RT6 will take the place of traditional taxies completely.
10. What’s the author’s attitude to the creation of Apollo RT6
A. Skeptical. B. Intolerant. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Baidu put forward a new generation robotaxi plan.
B. Baidu has found a good solution to green mobility.
C. Baidu succeeded in cutting down the cost of robotaxi.
D. Baidu took the lead in electric self-driving car globally.

People tend to pay less attention to tasks when working alongside a robot, according to research that found evidence of “social loafing”, where team members work less hard if they think others will cover for them.
Researchers at the Technical University of Berlin said people come to see robots as part of their team. Where they think a colleague or the technology performs particularly well, or where they think their own contribution would not be appreciated, people tend to take a more laid-back approach.
“Teamwork is a mixed blessing,” said Dietlind Helene Cymek (DHC), the first author of the study. “Working together can motivate people to perform well but it can also lead to a loss of motivation because the individual contribution is not as visible. We were interested in whether we could also find such motivational effects when the team partner is a robot.”
The team tested their hypothesis by asking a group of workers to check the quality of a series of tasks. The workers were all asked to carry out checks for errors on circuit boards (电路板). Half of them were told the tasks were also performed by a robot. While they did not work directly with the robot named Panda, those people had seen it and were able to hear it operating.
Their activity was monitored by the researchers, who blurred out the images of the boards the workers received, only showing them an image they could check once they actively opened it.
Initially, they said they found no statistical difference in the time the two groups — those who were told they were working with a robot and those who were not — spent inspecting the circuit boards, or in the area they searched for errors.
However, when the researchers investigated the participants’ error rates, they found those knowing Panda’s presence were catching fewer defects after they had seen the robot had successfully flagged many errors. They said this could reflect a “looking but not seeing” effect, where people engage less once they feel a colleague or resource is reliable.
While participants who were asked to rate their own performance thought they were paying an equivalent amount of attention, the researchers felt that subconsciously they had begun to assume Panda had picked up defects well.
12. Why do people pay less attention to tasks when working with a robot
A. They see the robot as their colleague.
B. They think the robot can cover all tasks.
C. They believe their performance will be appreciated.
D. They feel unvalued about their personal contribution.
13. What does DHC mean by saying “Teamwork is a mixed blessing”
A. Teamwork is of great help for workers.
B. Teamwork can improve work efficiency.
C. Teamwork involves different kinds of weaknesses.
D. Teamwork has both advantages and disadvantages.
14. What did the workers need to do during the researchers’ test
A. They need to blur out the images of the circuit boards.
B. They need to check errors on circuit boards with robots.
C. They need to see and hear how the robots were operating.
D. They need to monitor the robots to check the quality of circuit boards.
15. Which of the following can best describe the procedure of the study
A. Group→Instruct→Monitor→Rate
B. Question→Detect→Demonstrate→Collect
C. Monitor→Group→Investigate→Rate
D. Monitor→Investigate→Reflect→Instruct
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍研究发现，当人们与机器人一起工作时，他们往往对任务付出的注意力减少，表现出一种“社会懒惰”的现象，即团队成员在认为其他人会替他们完成任务时会减少努力。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers at the Technical University of Berlin said people come to see robots as part of their team. Where they think a colleague or the technology performs particularly well, or where they think their own contribution would not be appreciated, people tend to take a more laid-back approach.(柏林工业大学的研究人员表示，人们将机器人视为自己团队的一部分。如果他们认为某位机器人同事或先进机器表现得特别好，或者他们认为自己的贡献不会得到重视，人们往往会采取更懒散的态度)”可知，在和机器人一起工作时，如果人们觉得自己个人贡献没有得到重视，就会变得懒散，对任务关注得更少。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中下文“Working together can motivate people to perform well but it can also lead to a loss of motivation because the individual contribution is not as visible.(一起工作可以激励人们表现得更好，但也会导致动力的丧失，因为个人的贡献不那么明显)”可知，团队合作可以激励人们表现得更好，但也会导致动力的丧失。所以上文“Teamwork is a mixed blessing”的意思是：团队合作有优点也有缺点。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The workers were all asked to carry out checks for errors on circuit boards (电路板). Half of them were told the tasks were also performed by a robot.(工人们都被要求检查电路板上的错误。其中一半的人被告知这些任务也是由机器人完成的)”可知，在测试中，工人要和机器人一起检查电路板上的错误。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。结合常识和第四段中“The team tested their hypothesis by asking a group of workers to check the quality of a series of tasks. The workers were all asked to carry out checks for errors on circuit boards (电路板). Half of them were told the tasks were also performed by a robot.(该团队通过要求一组工人检查一系列任务的质量来验证他们的假设。工人们都被要求检查电路板上的错误。其中一半的人被告知这些任务也是由机器人完成的)”可知，研究的过程的第一步是确定那些人将得知有机器人参与任务，先进行分组，第二步是告知所有人需要做什么事，即指示；根据第五段中“Their activity was monitored by the researchers(研究人员对他们的活动进行了监测)”可知，下一步是监测研究活动的过程；根据最后一段中“While participants who were asked to rate their own performance thought they were paying an equivalent amount of attention, the researchers felt that subconsciously they had begun to assume Panda had picked up defects well.(当被要求评价自己表现的参与者认为他们付出了同等的注意力时，研究人员觉得潜意识里他们已经开始假设“熊猫”很好地发现了缺陷)”可知，最后一步是评价。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，文章主要报道中国力争在2030年左右实现6G技术的商业化。
【36题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：中国6G推广小组组长Wang Zhiqin表示：“6G标准预计将于2025年设置。”句子是描述一个事实，主语“The 6G standards”和动词“expect”之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语表示复数意义，故填are expected。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Wang说：“每个人都会开始质疑，自从采用5G技术以来，是否还有必要提高速度。”分析句子可知，it是形式主语，空处用动词不定式作真正的主语，故填to boost。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：但事实上，6G服务更多的是关于社会管理、治理和更智能。结合空前的形容词“social”可知，空处应填名词作介词“about”的宾语，management“管理”，不可数名词，故填management。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：目前5G基站只能收发通信信号。空处作状语，修饰整个句子，应用副词currently“目前”，首字母应大写，故填Currently。
【40题详解】
考查一般将来时。句意：但在6G时代，基站将同时支持通信和传感。根据“in the 6G era”可知，句子是描述将来的事情，应用一般将来时，故填will support。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它可以利用无线电波感知周围环境、物体的形状和运动等，这不仅可以提高通信性能，还可以扩大其商业应用范围。空处修饰名词“environment”，应用形容词作定语，surrounding“周围的，附近的”，形容词，故填surrounding。
【42题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：工信部周二宣布，中国已经为5G和6G系统分配了6GHz频段。分析句子可知，It是形式主语，空处引导主语从句，从句结构、意义完整，应用that引导，故填that。
43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：“考虑到其覆盖范围和容量优势，6GHz频段是中频中唯一具有大带宽的高质量资源，”工信部表示，并指出6GHz范围特别适合未来5G或6G系统的有效使用。only在句中意为“唯一的”，修饰名词时，其前常用定冠词表示特指，故填the。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意同上。空处修饰名词短语“coverage and capacity advantages”，应用形容词性物主代词，故填its。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。be suitable for“适合……”，固定搭配，故填for。

Dear Tom,

Yours sincerely,

【答案】Dear Tom,
I’m Li Hua, your student. Learning that there is no reading activity in this class, I’m writing to express my opinions about the teaching of “Reading for Writing”.
I fully understand that you desire to improve our writing in a short time. However, many of us find English writing a bit difficult. We are required to write an article directly, which can result in stress or a lack of progress. Therefore, I suppose maybe it’s better to teach us the related reading materials first and help us accumulate some words and expressions. Only in this way can we know better how to write.
Finally, I hope that you will consider my suggestions. Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一个完整的短文。
My father’s gift
I still remembered the day when my father showed me a case as if it were a treasure chest. “Here is a gift for you.” he said excitedly. “Once you learn to play the accordion (手风琴), it’ll stay with you for life.” I forced a smile. Accordions were never on my list of favorite instruments.
Then Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week. In disbelief I shot my eyes toward Mom for support. No luck. Shortly after, my lessons began.
I was ordered to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. My future shouldn’t be in the house mastering songs I would soon forget. But my father was completely against it. Nevertheless, I had to keep going.
Gradually, to my surprise, I began to notice improvement. I was able to play simple songs. Often, after supper, my father would request a tune or two. “Very nice, better than last week,” he’d say in his easy chair, sometimes drifting off to sleep, newspapers folded on his lap. I took it as a praise that he could relax under the spell of my playing.
One July evening I was giving an almost perfect performance of “Come Back to Sorrento”, and my parents called me to an open window. An elderly neighbor, rarely seen outside her house, was leaning against our car humming (哼唱) dreamily to the tune. When I finished, she smiled broadly and called out, “I remember that song as a child in Italy. Beautiful, just beautiful.”
For the next months, I dutifully followed my father’s instructions, practicing hour after hour, day after day. My fingers were often sore and my arms ached, but I never quit it.
One day on our way back home, I was told to prepare for a solo on a local theater’s stage. I wanted to skip the whole thing. Emotions boiled over in the car.
“I don’t want to play a solo,” I said.
”You have to,“ replied my father.
”Why ” I shouted, “Why should I have to play this stupid instrument ”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Taking a deep breath, my father turned around.

Paragraph 2:
Then came the day for the performance.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Taking a deep breath, my father turned around. With a serious expression, he said, “You will come to realize the significance of playing it in your life. Your self-discipline and perseverance will make you a better man. And your music will bring others joy.” I sat there, silently reflecting on my father’s words. Maybe he was right. In spite of the fact that I couldn’t fully understand what my father had said, his seriousness had forced me to continue practicing and preparing for my solo performance in the following days.
Paragraph 2:
Then came the big day for the performance. At the theater, nervousness overtook me as I realized how much I wanted to make my parents proud. Finally when I gathered all my courage to play on the stage, the audience was silent. And when I finished, they erupted into applause. I saw my father seated there, beaming with pride. That day, I realized that my father’s gift wasn’t just an accordion. It was the gift of discipline and perseverance, and the value of hard work. They will stay with me for life. And for that, I would always be grateful.
