From
paper
to
piano
I
was
11
years
old
when
I
asked
my
mom
for
piano
lessons
in
2010.
We
were
poor,
so
she
said
a
polite
“no”.
That
didn’t
13
me.
I
Googled
the
measurements
for
a
keyboard,
drew
the
keys
on
a
piece
of
paper
and
stuck
it
on
my
desk.
I
would
click
notes
on
an
online
keyboard
and
“play”
them
back
on
my
paper
one—keeping
the
sound
they
made
on
the
computer
in
my
head.
I
spent
six
months
playing
without
touching
a
real
piano.
Once
my
mom
saw
that
I
was
14
,
she
borrowed
money
and
bought
me
10
lessons.
I
still
remember
the
first
one.
I
was
struck
by
how
real
the
sound
of
the
piano
was.
I
15
my
grade
one
after
eight
lessons.
Once
I
started
secondary
school,
we
couldn’t
afford
lessons
again.
I
passed
grade
three,
then
grade
five,
practicing
only
on
my
16
.
One
evening,
when
I
was
about
13,
my
mom
said
she
had
a
surprise
for
me;
it
was
an
electronic
keyboard
bought
with
more
borrowed
money.
It
was
the
first
time
I’d
17
for
her.
She
was
in
shock.
My
school
didn’t
offer
music
A-level.
I
found
the
Purcell
School
for
young
musicians,
but
the
tryouts(选拔)
were
difficult.
To
my
amazement,
I
was
offered
a
place.
At
Purcell,
I
spent
two
years
working
as
18
as
I
could.
I
performed
to
raise
money
and
saved
enough
to
buy
my
first
piano.
When
I
left
Purcell,
I
was
awarded
the
senior
piano
prize
and
senior
academic
music
prize.
I
am
now
at
the
Guildhall
School
in
London.
I
feel
proud:
it’s
been
10
years
since
I
19
my
paper
piano,
and
I’m
at
one
of
the
world’s
leading
music
schools.
The
paper
piano
helped
spark
my
20
about
how
music
works,
the
building
blocks
that
form
the
pieces.

What
can
you
do
to
help
out?
One
winter
morning,
Tapiwa
Chiwewe
was
driving
to
work
in
Johannesburg,
South
Africa.
He
noticed
a
haze(薄雾)
hanging
over
the
city
and
it
didn’t
take
long
for
him
to
realize
that
it
was
an
enormous
cloud
of
air
pollution.
At
that
moment,
Chiwewe
wanted
to
do
something
about
it,
but
didn’t
know
what.
He
was
a
computer
engineer
and
knew
little
about
environmental
science.
He
first
did
research
on
air
pollution
and
found
that
it
is
the
world’s
biggest
environmental
health
risk.
He
decided
to
work
on
it
in
a
cooperative(合作的)
way.
He
talked
to
scientists,
officials,
and
engineers
who
helped
him
develop
a
deeper
understanding
of
the
situation,
as
well
as
an
idea
to
improve
it.
Through
years
of
work,
Chiwewe
and
his
coworkers
from
South
Africa
and
China
created
an
online
air
quality
decision
support
system.
Based
on
historical
and
real-time
data,
the
system
can
accurately
predict
air
pollution
and
air
quality,
which
can
help
people
make
better
decisions
about
their
daily
movements,
as
well
as
help
officials
better
manage
their
operations.
Chiwewe
learned
an
important
lesson—“a
lesson
we
all
need
to
take
into
heart
if
we
are
to
work
towards
a
better
future.
Even
if
you’re
not
an
expert
in
a
particular
field,
your
outside
expertise
may
hold
the
key
to
solving
problems
within
that
field,”
he
said.
What
if
Chiwewe
hadn’t
bothered
to
research
the
problem
and
do
something
about
it?
What
if
he
had
just
hoped
that
someone,
somewhere,
was
taking
care
of
the
matter?
As
Chiwewe
said,
“Why
not
just
go
ahead
and
deal
with
the
problem
as
well
as
you
can,
in
your
own
way?
You
may
be
pleasantly
surprised.”
24.
What
made
Chiwewe
want
to
take
action?
A.
He
didn’t
know
what
the
cloud
was.
B.
He
noticed
air
pollution
over
his
city.
C.
He
didn’t
want
to
be
a
computer
engineer.
D.
He
was
an
expert
in
environmental
science.
25.
In
which
order
did
Chiwewe
solve
the
problem?
A.
cabd
B.
abcd
C.
cdab
D.
adbc
a.
He
asked
for
expert’s
suggestions.
b.
He
created
a
system
that
works
online.
c.
He
did
research
on
the
problem.
d.
He
allowed
others
to
use
the
system.
26.
What
is
the
point
of
the
last
two
paragraphs?
A.
We
should
always
cooperate
with
others.
B.
There
is
always
something
new
to
learn.
C.
Experts
need
to
do
research
when
dealing
with
problems.
D.
Taking
action
on
your
own
is
better
than
waiting
for
others.
C
Giving
presentations
is
a
challenging,
but
important
part
of
education.
A
presentation
is
the
key
to
making
your
message
clear,
whether
you
are
in
an
interview
or
giving
a
talk
in
front
of
the
class.
A
well-prepared
and
practiced
presentation
can
improve
your
confidence
dramatically.
On
presentation
day,
there
are
some
ways
you
can
take
to
ensure
that
you
perform
well.
Practice
the
presentation.
Before
presentation,
it
can
be
helpful
to
practice
on
your
own.
While
you
are
practicing
your
presentation,
do
your
best
to
work
on
memorizing
what
you
want
to
say,
and
when
you
want
to
say
it.
Your
presentation
will
be
a
lot
better
if
you
aren’t
constantly
looking
down
at
note
cards
or
searching
a
piece
of
paper
to
figure
out
what
you
want
to
say
next.
Control
your
nerves.
There
are
a
few
things
you
can
do
before
the
presentation
to
help
calm
your
nerves
—
many
of
which
you
can
even
do
right
at
your
desk.
Try
breathing
deeply;
silently
repeating
affirmations
(such
as
“I
can
do
this.
I’m
going
to
do
a
great
job”);
or
using
positive
visualization
(imagine
yourself
giving
your
presentation
successfully
and
knocking
it
out
of
the
park).
These
strategies
can
help
you
settle
your
nerves
and
go
into
your
presentation
feeling
calm
and
collected.
Speak
slowly
and
enunciate
clearly.
If
you
have
practiced
enough,
this
shouldn’t
be
difficult;
however,
some
people
talk
too
quickly
and
too
quietly
when
they
get
nervous.
Try
to
remind
yourself
to
talk
slowly
and
loudly
enough
so
everyone
can
hear
you.
If
you’re
using
an
electronic
presentation,
you
can
use
each
new
slide
as
a
chance
to
stop
for
a
few
seconds
and
recognize
whether
you
are
speaking
slowly
and
loudly
enough
for
everyone
to
hear.
Engage
the
audience.
Whether
you’ve
got
a
one-on-one
talk
or
a
speech
in
front
of
400
people,
think
“story
telling”.
Sometimes
all
it
takes
is
a
few
seconds
to
connect
an
audience
member
with
a
story,
according
to
Eric
English,
a
communication
teacher
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
in
the
US.
Try
to
look
around
the
room
and
make
eye
contact
with
various
listeners
for
a
few
seconds.
If
you
are
able
to
make
eye
contact
for
a
few
seconds
with
several
different
people
over
the
course
of
your
presentation,
you
will
be
giving
the
impression
that
you
are
relaxed
and
confident.
Don’t
forget
to
smile!
27.
If
you
want
to
get
people’s
attention,
you
should_______.
A.
prepare
note
cards
while
giving
presentation
B.
take
a
deep
breath
before
your
presentation
C.
make
eye
contact
with
different
listeners
D.
consider
speaking
in
front
of
a
trusted
friend
28.
The
expression
“knocking
it
out
of
the
park”
probably
means
“_______”.
A.
relaxing
in
the
park
B.
performing
quite
well
C.
enjoying
the
presentation
D.
knocking
the
rocks
in
the
park
29.
What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.
Presentation
is
important
for
education
B.
Presentation
is
the
key
to
succeed
C.
How
to
give
a
better
presentation
D.
How
to
make
the
presentation
clear
D
We
often
learn
that
many
people,
especially
women,
don’t
like
the
sunshine.
They
are
afraid
of
getting
sunburnt
and
making
their
skin
deep-colored.
But
a
growing
body
of
scientific
research
suggests
that
completely
avoiding
sunlight
isn’t
such
a
good
idea.
Researchers
at
Sweden’s
Karolinska
Institute
say
that
avoiding
the
sun
can
be
as
bad
for
you
as
smoking.
Here
is
why
you
should
soak
up(吸收)
some
sunshine
every
day.
It
promotes
bone
growth.
“Vitamin
D
is
a
hormone(激素)
that
promotes
calcium
absorption
and
is
necessary
for
bone
growth,”
tells
Dr.
Roizen.
Since
sunlight
is
a
primary
source
of
Vitamin
D,
the
hormone
is
also
called
as
‘the
sunshine
vitamin’.
“The
Vitamin
D
found
in
our
body
needs
activation.
The
sun
helps
to
change
inactive
Vitamin
D
levels
to
active,”
explains
Dr.
Roizen.
According
to
the
World
Health
Organization
(WHO),
getting
anywhere
from
5
to
15
minutes
of
sunlight
on
your
arms,
hands,
and
face
twice
or
thrice
a
week
is
enough
to
get
the
vitamin
D.
It
is
good
for
your
heart.
People
are
more
likely
to
die
of
heart
disease
in
winter
than
in
summer.
According
to
researchers
from
Copenhagen
University
Hospital,
those
with
the
lowest
levels
of
vitamin
D
are
81%
more
likely
to
die
of
heart
disease
compared
with
those
with
the
highest
levels
of
the
vitamin.
Sun
exposure
cut
the
risk
of
heart
attack
and
stroke
by
reducing
blood
pressure,
according
to
the
research.
It
makes
you
feel
happier.
“We
always
feel
better
when
the
sun
is
shining,
but
is
not
on
rainy
or
cloudy
days.”
says
Emma
Derbyshire,
public
health
nutritionist
and
spokeswoman
for
Health
and
Food
Supplements
Information
Service.
The
sun
works
through
a
number
of
receptors
in
the
brain
to
affect
our
mental
status
(精神状态).
Moderate
sunlight
exposure
helps
improve
your
mood
and
focus
by
boosting
the
serotonin
(血清素)
levels,
which
known
as
the
‘happiness
hormone’.
“A
test
found
that
safe
sun
exposure
can
actually
help
treat
depressive
(抑郁的)
symptoms,”
says
Emma.
In
addition,
a
2017
study
published
in
the
Journal
of
Human
Resources
found
that
students
who
get
more
sunlight
every
day
perform
better
in
tests.
To
soak
up
moderate
sunlight
every
day
is
important
for
us.
But
if
you’re
going
to
be
outside
for
more
than
15
minutes,
it’s
a
good
idea
to
protect
your
skin.
You
can
do
that
by
applying
sunscreen
or
wearing
a
protective
hat
and
shirt
can
also
help.

Study
a
calendar.
It
looks
simple
and
orderly.
But
a
calendar
is
more
of
a
mathematical
puzzle
than
you
might
guess.
The
calendar
we
use
today
has
gone
through
centuries
of
changes.
For
millennia,
people
watched
the
seasons,
sun,
moon,
and
stars
to
help
them
keep
track
of
time
passing.
Ancient
people
did
not
know
that
Earth
orbits
(沿轨道运行)
the
sun
about
every
365.25
days.
They
tried
to
track
the
year
by
counting
the
full
moons.
Each
year
had
12
full
moons.
Twelve
moons,
or
months,
made
one
lunar
year.
Calendars
in
Babylon
used
a
lunar
year.
Twelve
months
added
up
to
only
354
days.
That
made
the
lunar
year
11
days
too
short.
As
years
went
by,
the
months
and
the
seasons
no
longer
matched
up.
People
in
ancient
Egypt
came
up
with
a
solar
calendar
of
365
days.
They
observed
that
Sirius,
the
Dog
Star,
appeared
near
the
rising
sun
every
365
days.
Soon
after
that,
the
Nile
River
would
rise.
They
looked
forward
to
the
flooding
of
the
Nile,
because
it
brought
good
things.
The
rich
soil
left
by
floodwaters
was
good
for
planting.
The
ancient
Romans
used
a
calendar
of
10
months.
Because
a
Roman
year
was
only
304
days,
it
seemed
to
always
be
out
of
step
with
the
seasons.
Holidays
showed
up
at
the
wrong
time
of
year.
A
Roman
ruler
named
Julius
Caesar
ordered
a
change.
He
created
a
calendar
with
12
months,
each
30
or
31
days
long.
He
added
an
extra
day
every
four
years
to
keep
things
on
track.
This
calendar
was
used
for
more
than
a
millennium.
But
by
the
end
of
the
16th
century,
it
was
ten
days
out
of
step.
Pope
Gregory
XIII
created
today’s
calendar
in
1582.
He
set
new
mathematical
rules
for
keeping
the
calendar
in
step
with
the
seasons.
Today,
the
Gregorian
calendar
is
used
almost
everywhere
in
the
world.
