Passage 1
Money is not everything and there are something else that money can’t buy, but you can’t do something without money. What’s more valuable than money to you
In order to make a living, I had to work two jobs. I was raising my 6-year-old alone. Although I was very tired, I has been working hard, and hoped my son and I could have a better life. Every night, my son and I would spend some time together and tried to make him happy, but he seemed to feel that I was under much stress, even though I tried to hide it from him. One Saturday night, I told him a story before we went to bed. The story was about a family with everything－a beautiful house with a big garden and swimming pool, a new car and so on. I knew it’s too far away from what we had. Tears came to my eyes and I turned away from my son, I didn’t want him to see me like this.
My young, but very wise little boy seemed to read my mind and said to me with a smile, “Mom, don’t cry. This family may have a lot of things, but you know we are also very rich, I am very satisfied and have been very happy.”
I turned to look at him and didn’t quite understand what he meant. He went on to say, “we may not have a lot, but we have each other, and best of all, we love each other with all our hearts. Money can’t buy that.”
What my son said shocked me. I smiled and said happily, “let me give you an infinity(无限的) kiss.”

It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking (模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.

It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking (模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.

【解 析】
1. 由第一段可知，音乐能以一种特殊的方式突破各种障碍直击学生的心灵，可以让每一个孩子找到自己的亮点，所以作者认为音乐可以触及人心底的灵魂，从而把人们的心连接在一起。故选B。
2. 由第二段倒数第二、三句Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapping together.可知，Vanessa在音乐课上喜欢把她的手和作者的手放在一起一同拍和，在每一节课她们表演时都是如此，由此即可知Vanessa喜欢作者的音乐课。故选D。
3. 由第二段第三句She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak.可知Vanessa走路和说话有障碍，且由第三段倒数第二句I opened my mouth and could not speak.可推知，一天后当Vanessa开口说“Oh yes!”时，作者必然感到很吃惊。故选A。
4. 文章最后两段主要记叙了数年后在小镇的街上，作者和Vanessa意外相遇时，Vanessa向作者挥手并报以灿烂的笑容，然后拍两下手，最后是作者对此事的感想。这充分说明Vanessa对她们上课时那首唱过无数次的歌的喜爱和深刻的印象，由此我们从最后两段能推断这首歌给Vanessa留下了深刻的印象。故选C。
5. 本文主要记叙了五岁的小女孩Vanessa对音乐的爱，以及她对音乐深深的印象，而正是音乐才改变了她，由此可知音乐能把人们的心连接在一起，音乐可以触及人心底的灵魂。因此Music Touches the Soul是文章最好的标题。故选C。
