二．阅读理解（共4小题）
2．I saw my first tree today.Dad used to tell me stories about the trees that still existed when he was a boy.There weren't very many even then，with the urbanization program in full swing.
The O'Brien home was one of the few examples of old﹣style wooden structures that hadn't been destroyed in Boston's urban﹣renewal campaign.The family had been able to avoid this because of its wealth and political influence，and the house was passed on through generations to the present.Old man O'Brien had no children，so when he died，the Urban Center bought it.Then an official discovered that the house had a backyard﹣in the yard was a live tree!
When the news of the tree's discovery leaked out，quite a few sightseers stopped by to have a look at it，and the local government，realizing the money﹣making potential，began charging admission and advertising the place.By now it had become a favorite spot for family trips like ours.
Dad paid the fee and we walked through a doorway hidden in a bookshelf and into the backyard.I just couldn't help noticing the tree!
It was located at one end of the yard，with a fence around it for protection.It was similar in form to the plastic trees I'd seen，but there was much more.You could see details more delicate than in any artificially made plant.And it was alive.But best of all was the smell﹣fresh，living smell，unfamiliar to the world outside with metal，plastic，and glass.I wanted to touch the bark，but the fence prevented me from doing so.
On the way back，I read through the brochures.One part said the O'Brien home would be torn down next year to make room for some insurance building，and the tree will have to go，too.
I just sat still，fingering the object in my pocket that I had picked in the O'Brien's backyard.I think it's called an acorn（橡子）.
（1）Why could the tree in the O'Brien's backyard survive till today？
A．It possessed some special characteristics.
B．It had a very strong fence around to protect it.

D．It got the local government's attention as a tourist attraction.
（2）How might the author feel after the trip？
A．Annoyed.
B．Calm.
C．Excited.
D．Upset.
（3）Which statement best shows the theme of the passage？
A．Social progress and urbanization come at a cost.
B．Social progress should give way to nature protection.
C．Humans value nature protection over social progress.
D．Urbanization has more advantages than disadvantages.

4．A fresh and gentle wind on your face，soft sand under your feet and blue waters as far as the eye can see.Is there any other Olympic sport that is played in such pleasant conditions as beach volleyball？
"I've gone to a lot of beautiful places，and met a lot of beautiful people.That wouldn't have happened if I had been playing another sport，" said Randy Stoklos，America's most famous beach volleyball player.
The sport began as a four﹣a﹣side game on beaches in Southern California in the 1920s.The first recorded two﹣man game took place there in 1930，and the first tournament was held in Los Angeles 18 years later.The winners were awarded a case of Pepsi.In the 1950s，women started playing and the sport soon spread to Europe and South America.Yet at that time，beach volleyball was more an entertainment show than a sport，with beauty contests included.The Association of Volleyball Professionals was founded in 1983 and beach volleyball developed into a fast，athletic sport.Its world﹣wide popularity won beach volleyball a place at the 1996 Olympics in Atalanta，where 24 male teams and 16 female teams took part.At present，the US and Brazil are the best in the world at beach volleyball.
The game came to China in the early 1990s and there have been national tournaments since 1994.It became an official event at the Eighth National Games in 1997.China's You Wenhui and Wang Lu finished ninth in the women's beach volleyball world championships in Brazil.

5．Everyone can be angry.But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just "feeling angry" you'll have a better understanding of yourself.Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers.These answers can enable you to grow spiritually and mentally.
I can give you a personal example.I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked（言语攻击）over an application I supported at my workplace.Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked.That didn't bother me that much.But I was absolutely furious at the comment，"Your job is pointless."
I was upset that they would treat me that way.But once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad，I learned a lot.I realized that the comment was more true than I wanted to admit.In the big scheme of things，my job was pointless.It wasn't what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this is what frustrated me the most.Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn't even want to do.I was using it as crutch（依靠） because I didn't have the confidence in myself to take the scary（令人害怕的）road toward what I really wanted to do.As soon as I realized that，a lot of my anger just melted away.I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.
I now consider this incident as a great gift.It got me back on track to move in the direction I want to go with my life.I probably wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.
（1）What does the underlined word "furious" probably mean？
A．Surprised.
B．Relaxed.
C．Amazed.
D．Angry.
（2）Why did the author admit that his work was pointless？
A．Because he didn't do his job wholeheartedly.
B．Because he didn't make enough money.
C．Because he couldn't get on well with his colleagues.
D．Because he didn't have the chance to realize his potential.
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．The author isn't easy to become angry any longer.
B．The author has achieved success in his present career.
C．The author received a lot of gifts after the incident.
D．The author was forced to quit his job.
（4）Where is this text most likely from？
A．A diary.
B．A guidebook.
C．A magazine.
D．A novel.
三．信息匹配（共1小题）
6．Are you thinking about traveling alone？You must have a million questions：Where should you go？Will there be someone to talk to？（1） And is it all right to travel alone？
In fact，traveling alone is not as scary（吓人的） as it seems.Here are some good tips.
Choose a place where you feel comfortable and safe
Truth be told，traveling alone for the first time is more about the experience than the destination.（2） It could be somewhere close to home or somewhere you've already been with friends.
Make a plan
Always make a plan.That way you'll avoid worrying too much over where you're staying，what to see and how you're getting from A to B.
Book hotels ahead of time
（3） Besides，when you book your hotel，ask if they will send a driver to pick you up.
Talk to people
If you're going to a touristy place like Thailand，there are lots of other people who are traveling alone.（4） They might also ask you to join them for dinner or a beer.That happens a lot.
Let someone know where you are
Your family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day，so text them and let them know what you're up to throughout your trip.（5） And in case something did happen，they'll know where you are.
A.How do you stay safe？
B.Don't draw attention to yourself.
C.That will make you and them feel safer.
D.The first thing you need to do is believe in yourself.
E.So make sure to choose a place that you feel comfortable with.
F.Most likely，they'll be easy to talk to and they'll want to communicate.
G.This can make you less nervous when you're traveling alone for the first time.

9．When I was a little girl，I knew that I had a gift for music.Playing was my love.While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun，playing childish games，I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano.When I played，I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy.All I had to worry about was my music.Playing was never boring for me.
I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came.It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition.The music hall was packed with excited audience.I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me.As the fellow competitors were playing，I couldn't keep my mind on their music.I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings.I had known my music was like the back of my hand.But this time，to my great surprise，I found my fingers completely out of my control.They kept shaking.I nearly burst into tears.Seeing this，Mom held my hands tightly in hers.She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up.Then she whispered in my ear， "Sweetie，take it easy.Just listen and enjoy the music.
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time.A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano.He looked calm and confident.His fingertips danced on the keyboard.The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air.For a moment，I totally forgot my nervousness.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again.
Suddenly my fingers slipped（滑）and I hit a wrong note.

（3）A．主旨大意题。根据第一段中"Dad used to tell me stories about the trees that still existed when he was a boy.There weren't very many even then，with the urbanization program in full swing. （爸爸常给我讲他小时候还存在的那些树的故事。即使在当时，随着城市化进程的全面推进，这样的城市也不多。）"和倒数第二段中"One part said the O'Brien home would be torn down next year to make room for some insurance building，and the tree will have to go，too. （其中一部分说O'Brien的房子明年将被拆除，为一些保险大楼腾出空间，那棵树也必须被砍掉。）"以及下文的描述，可知，本文讲述了作者在城市化全面推进的社会里终于见到了第一棵真树，这棵树种在O'Brien家后院，但是因为要为一些保险大楼腾出空间，明年这棵树也要被砍掉，这使作者很沮丧。因此本文的主题选项A"社会进步和城市化是有代价的。"符合题意。故选A项。

5．Everyone can be angry.But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just "feeling angry" you'll have a better understanding of yourself.Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers.These answers can enable you to grow spiritually and mentally.
I can give you a personal example.I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked（言语攻击）over an application I supported at my workplace.Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked.That didn't bother me that much.But I was absolutely furious at the comment，"Your job is pointless."
I was upset that they would treat me that way.But once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad，I learned a lot.I realized that the comment was more true than I wanted to admit.In the big scheme of things，my job was pointless.It wasn't what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this is what frustrated me the most.Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn't even want to do.I was using it as crutch（依靠） because I didn't have the confidence in myself to take the scary（令人害怕的）road toward what I really wanted to do.As soon as I realized that，a lot of my anger just melted away.I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.
I now consider this incident as a great gift.It got me back on track to move in the direction I want to go with my life.I probably wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.
（1）What does the underlined word "furious" probably mean？ D
A．Surprised.
B．Relaxed.
C．Amazed.
D．Angry.

A．Because he didn't do his job wholeheartedly.
B．Because he didn't make enough money.
C．Because he couldn't get on well with his colleagues.
D．Because he didn't have the chance to realize his potential.
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？ B
A．The author isn't easy to become angry any longer.
B．The author has achieved success in his present career.
C．The author received a lot of gifts after the incident.
D．The author was forced to quit his job.

【答案】DABC
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了人在生气时，应该弄清楚自己为什么生气，以此让自己在精神层面上成长。
【解答】（1）D.词义猜测题。根据前一句"That didn't bother me that much.（这并不会让我很烦恼）"以及本句的But可知，本句以前一句存在转折关系。bother前有否定词，也就是说所猜词"furious"与前一句的"bother"为同义词，应翻译为"烦恼、生气"。A.Surprised.吃惊的；B.Relaxed.放松的；C.Amazed.吃惊的；D.Angry.生气的。故选D。
（2）A.细节理解题。根据原文第三自然段"It wasn't what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this is what frustrated me the most.（这不是我真正想做的事情，这是我最沮丧的）"以及"I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn't even want to do（我把我的一部分心血倾注在一份我甚至不想做的工作上）"可知，作者不愿意全身心投入到这份不喜欢的工作中，所以作者认为自己的工作没有什么意义。故选A。
（3）B.推理判断题。根据文章最后一自然段"I probably wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.（如果我不花时间弄清楚为什么我真的那么生气的话，我今天可能就不在这里了）"可知，作者如果当初不反思自己生气的原因，就不会有今天的状况。由此推断出，通过这件事让作者在现在的工作中取得了成功。故选B。
（4）C.文章出处题。根据原文第一自然段"Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers.These answers can enable you to grow spiritually and mentally.（知道你为什么这么生气可以给你一些令人惊讶的答案。这些答案能让你在精神上和思想上成长）"可知，本文主要讲述了知道为什么生气，会让人在精神上和思想上成长。因此推断文章最有可能来自于一本杂志。故选C。
【点评】做这类阅读理解，要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

9．When I was a little girl，I knew that I had a gift for music.Playing was my love.While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun，playing childish games，I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano.When I played，I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy.All I had to worry about was my music.Playing was never boring for me.
I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came.It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition.The music hall was packed with excited audience.I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me.As the fellow competitors were playing，I couldn't keep my mind on their music.I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings.I had known my music was like the back of my hand.But this time，to my great surprise，I found my fingers completely out of my control.They kept shaking.I nearly burst into tears.Seeing this，Mom held my hands tightly in hers.She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up.Then she whispered in my ear， "Sweetie，take it easy.Just listen and enjoy the music.
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time.A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano.He looked calm and confident.His fingertips danced on the keyboard.The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air.For a moment，I totally forgot my nervousness.

Suddenly my fingers slipped and I hit a wrong note.I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd's deep sigh."Just enjoy it!"Mum's words echoed in my ears.I continued playing as if nothing had happened.Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again.Eventually，when I finished my last note，the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering，which was totally out of my expectation.Though I didn't win the champion，I knew I had learned something more valuable.I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself.

二．阅读理解（共4小题）
2．I saw my first tree today.Dad used to tell me stories about the trees that still existed when he was a boy.There weren't very many even then，with the urbanization program in full swing.
The O'Brien home was one of the few examples of old﹣style wooden structures that hadn't been destroyed in Boston's urban﹣renewal campaign.The family had been able to avoid this because of its wealth and political influence，and the house was passed on through generations to the present.Old man O'Brien had no children，so when he died，the Urban Center bought it.Then an official discovered that the house had a backyard﹣in the yard was a live tree!
When the news of the tree's discovery leaked out，quite a few sightseers stopped by to have a look at it，and the local government，realizing the money﹣making potential，began charging admission and advertising the place.By now it had become a favorite spot for family trips like ours.
Dad paid the fee and we walked through a doorway hidden in a bookshelf and into the backyard.I just couldn't help noticing the tree!
It was located at one end of the yard，with a fence around it for protection.It was similar in form to the plastic trees I'd seen，but there was much more.You could see details more delicate than in any artificially made plant.And it was alive.But best of all was the smell﹣fresh，living smell，unfamiliar to the world outside with metal，plastic，and glass.I wanted to touch the bark，but the fence prevented me from doing so.
On the way back，I read through the brochures.One part said the O'Brien home would be torn down next year to make room for some insurance building，and the tree will have to go，too.
I just sat still，fingering the object in my pocket that I had picked in the O'Brien's backyard.I think it's called an acorn（橡子）.

4．A fresh and gentle wind on your face，soft sand under your feet and blue waters as far as the eye can see.Is there any other Olympic sport that is played in such pleasant conditions as beach volleyball？
"I've gone to a lot of beautiful places，and met a lot of beautiful people.That wouldn't have happened if I had been playing another sport，" said Randy Stoklos，America's most famous beach volleyball player.
The sport began as a four﹣a﹣side game on beaches in Southern California in the 1920s.The first recorded two﹣man game took place there in 1930，and the first tournament was held in Los Angeles 18 years later.The winners were awarded a case of Pepsi.In the 1950s，women started playing and the sport soon spread to Europe and South America.Yet at that time，beach volleyball was more an entertainment show than a sport，with beauty contests included.The Association of Volleyball Professionals was founded in 1983 and beach volleyball developed into a fast，athletic sport.Its world﹣wide popularity won beach volleyball a place at the 1996 Olympics in Atalanta，where 24 male teams and 16 female teams took part.At present，the US and Brazil are the best in the world at beach volleyball.
The game came to China in the early 1990s and there have been national tournaments since 1994.It became an official event at the Eighth National Games in 1997.China's You Wenhui and Wang Lu finished ninth in the women's beach volleyball world championships in Brazil.

5．Everyone can be angry.But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just "feeling angry" you'll have a better understanding of yourself.Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers.These answers can enable you to grow spiritually and mentally.
I can give you a personal example.I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked（言语攻击）over an application I supported at my workplace.Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked.That didn't bother me that much.But I was absolutely furious at the comment，"Your job is pointless."
I was upset that they would treat me that way.But once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad，I learned a lot.I realized that the comment was more true than I wanted to admit.In the big scheme of things，my job was pointless.It wasn't what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this is what frustrated me the most.Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn't even want to do.I was using it as crutch（依靠） because I didn't have the confidence in myself to take the scary（令人害怕的）road toward what I really wanted to do.As soon as I realized that，a lot of my anger just melted away.I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.
I now consider this incident as a great gift.It got me back on track to move in the direction I want to go with my life.I probably wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.
（1）What does the underlined word "furious" probably mean？
A．Surprised.
B．Relaxed.
C．Amazed.
D．Angry.
（2）Why did the author admit that his work was pointless？
A．Because he didn't do his job wholeheartedly.
B．Because he didn't make enough money.
C．Because he couldn't get on well with his colleagues.
D．Because he didn't have the chance to realize his potential.
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．The author isn't easy to become angry any longer.
B．The author has achieved success in his present career.
C．The author received a lot of gifts after the incident.
D．The author was forced to quit his job.
（4）Where is this text most likely from？
A．A diary.
B．A guidebook.
C．A magazine.
D．A novel.
三．信息匹配（共1小题）
6．Are you thinking about traveling alone？You must have a million questions：Where should you go？Will there be someone to talk to？（1） And is it all right to travel alone？
In fact，traveling alone is not as scary（吓人的） as it seems.Here are some good tips.
Choose a place where you feel comfortable and safe
Truth be told，traveling alone for the first time is more about the experience than the destination.（2） It could be somewhere close to home or somewhere you've already been with friends.
Make a plan

Book hotels ahead of time
（3） Besides，when you book your hotel，ask if they will send a driver to pick you up.
Talk to people
If you're going to a touristy place like Thailand，there are lots of other people who are traveling alone.（4） They might also ask you to join them for dinner or a beer.That happens a lot.
Let someone know where you are
Your family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day，so text them and let them know what you're up to throughout your trip.（5） And in case something did happen，they'll know where you are.
A.How do you stay safe？
B.Don't draw attention to yourself.
C.That will make you and them feel safer.
D.The first thing you need to do is believe in yourself.
E.So make sure to choose a place that you feel comfortable with.
F.Most likely，they'll be easy to talk to and they'll want to communicate.
G.This can make you less nervous when you're traveling alone for the first time.

I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came.It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition.The music hall was packed with excited audience.I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me.As the fellow competitors were playing，I couldn't keep my mind on their music.I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings.I had known my music was like the back of my hand.But this time，to my great surprise，I found my fingers completely out of my control.They kept shaking.I nearly burst into tears.Seeing this，Mom held my hands tightly in hers.She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up.Then she whispered in my ear， "Sweetie，take it easy.Just listen and enjoy the music.
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time.A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano.He looked calm and confident.His fingertips danced on the keyboard.The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air.For a moment，I totally forgot my nervousness.

Suddenly my fingers slipped（滑）and I hit a wrong note.

（3）A．主旨大意题。根据第一段中"Dad used to tell me stories about the trees that still existed when he was a boy.There weren't very many even then，with the urbanization program in full swing. （爸爸常给我讲他小时候还存在的那些树的故事。即使在当时，随着城市化进程的全面推进，这样的城市也不多。）"和倒数第二段中"One part said the O'Brien home would be torn down next year to make room for some insurance building，and the tree will have to go，too. （其中一部分说O'Brien的房子明年将被拆除，为一些保险大楼腾出空间，那棵树也必须被砍掉。）"以及下文的描述，可知，本文讲述了作者在城市化全面推进的社会里终于见到了第一棵真树，这棵树种在O'Brien家后院，但是因为要为一些保险大楼腾出空间，明年这棵树也要被砍掉，这使作者很沮丧。因此本文的主题选项A"社会进步和城市化是有代价的。"符合题意。故选A项。

5．Everyone can be angry.But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just "feeling angry" you'll have a better understanding of yourself.Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers.These answers can enable you to grow spiritually and mentally.
I can give you a personal example.I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked（言语攻击）over an application I supported at my workplace.Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked.That didn't bother me that much.But I was absolutely furious at the comment，"Your job is pointless."
I was upset that they would treat me that way.But once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad，I learned a lot.I realized that the comment was more true than I wanted to admit.In the big scheme of things，my job was pointless.It wasn't what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this is what frustrated me the most.Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn't even want to do.I was using it as crutch（依靠） because I didn't have the confidence in myself to take the scary（令人害怕的）road toward what I really wanted to do.As soon as I realized that，a lot of my anger just melted away.I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.
I now consider this incident as a great gift.It got me back on track to move in the direction I want to go with my life.I probably wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.
（1）What does the underlined word "furious" probably mean？ D
A．Surprised.
B．Relaxed.
C．Amazed.
D．Angry.

A．Because he didn't do his job wholeheartedly.
B．Because he didn't make enough money.
C．Because he couldn't get on well with his colleagues.
D．Because he didn't have the chance to realize his potential.
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？ B
A．The author isn't easy to become angry any longer.
B．The author has achieved success in his present career.
C．The author received a lot of gifts after the incident.
D．The author was forced to quit his job.

【答案】DABC
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了人在生气时，应该弄清楚自己为什么生气，以此让自己在精神层面上成长。
【解答】（1）D.词义猜测题。根据前一句"That didn't bother me that much.（这并不会让我很烦恼）"以及本句的But可知，本句以前一句存在转折关系。bother前有否定词，也就是说所猜词"furious"与前一句的"bother"为同义词，应翻译为"烦恼、生气"。A.Surprised.吃惊的；B.Relaxed.放松的；C.Amazed.吃惊的；D.Angry.生气的。故选D。
（2）A.细节理解题。根据原文第三自然段"It wasn't what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this is what frustrated me the most.（这不是我真正想做的事情，这是我最沮丧的）"以及"I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn't even want to do（我把我的一部分心血倾注在一份我甚至不想做的工作上）"可知，作者不愿意全身心投入到这份不喜欢的工作中，所以作者认为自己的工作没有什么意义。故选A。
（3）B.推理判断题。根据文章最后一自然段"I probably wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.（如果我不花时间弄清楚为什么我真的那么生气的话，我今天可能就不在这里了）"可知，作者如果当初不反思自己生气的原因，就不会有今天的状况。由此推断出，通过这件事让作者在现在的工作中取得了成功。故选B。
（4）C.文章出处题。根据原文第一自然段"Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers.These answers can enable you to grow spiritually and mentally.（知道你为什么这么生气可以给你一些令人惊讶的答案。这些答案能让你在精神上和思想上成长）"可知，本文主要讲述了知道为什么生气，会让人在精神上和思想上成长。因此推断文章最有可能来自于一本杂志。故选C。
【点评】做这类阅读理解，要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

9．When I was a little girl，I knew that I had a gift for music.Playing was my love.While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun，playing childish games，I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano.When I played，I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy.All I had to worry about was my music.Playing was never boring for me.
I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came.It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition.The music hall was packed with excited audience.I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me.As the fellow competitors were playing，I couldn't keep my mind on their music.I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings.I had known my music was like the back of my hand.But this time，to my great surprise，I found my fingers completely out of my control.They kept shaking.I nearly burst into tears.Seeing this，Mom held my hands tightly in hers.She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up.Then she whispered in my ear， "Sweetie，take it easy.Just listen and enjoy the music.
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time.A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano.He looked calm and confident.His fingertips danced on the keyboard.The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air.For a moment，I totally forgot my nervousness.

Suddenly my fingers slipped and I hit a wrong note.I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd's deep sigh."Just enjoy it!"Mum's words echoed in my ears.I continued playing as if nothing had happened.Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again.Eventually，when I finished my last note，the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering，which was totally out of my expectation.Though I didn't win the champion，I knew I had learned something more valuable.I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself.
