By day，Robert Titterman is a lawyer.In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist
Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner.“I’m not a trained musician，but
I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterman is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page
turner for the past four years.His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the
musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.He said he became just
as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at
once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right
spot，” Mr Titterman explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes
and require up to 50 page turns ，including back turns for repeat passages.Silent ①onstage
communication is key，and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page
turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances，there are moments when things go wrong.“I was turning the page
to get ready for the next page，but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off
the stand，” Mr Titterman said.“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or ②up-and-coming concert pianists，although Ms
Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner，” she laughed.“He’s absorbed in the music，
feeling every note，and I have to say：‘Turn，turn！’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had
in my entire life.”
1．What should Titterman be able to do to be a page turner?
A．Read music. B．Play the piano.
C．Sing songs. D．Fix the instruments.
2．Which of the following best describes Titterman’s job on stage?
A．Boring. B．Well-paid. C．Demanding. D．Dangerous.
3．What does Titterman need to practise?
A．Counting the pages. B．Recognizing the “nodding”．
C．Catching falling objects. D．Performing in his own style.
4.Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”？A．He has very poor eyesight.

C．He has no interest in music.
D．He forgets to do his job.

The Music Educator Award，this year，went to Annie Ray，an orchestra(管弦乐队) director
at Annandale High School.She was recognized for her efforts to make music accessible to all
students，particularly those with disabilities.Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles
and bring home a $10,000 prize.
Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental
disabilities，as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same
instrument as their child.Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second
life in her classroom.
The orchestra is about much more than just making music.The most important is to give
students a chance to develop their cooperation skills，make mistakes and learn the art of refining
something.Ray pushes her students to be brave，go outside their comfort zone and realize they
have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds.And they teach
her a lot in return.“They changed my educational philosophy.I understand what it truly means to
meet a student where they’re at and apply that elsewhere，” she said.
The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful.Actually，not many people understand
what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters.While her ①administration is
②supportive，that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general.Another is
resources.She says her school “desperately” needs new instruments.She will use some of her
prize money to buy more.
Ray also plans to put some of the money towards an ③ongoing scholarship for students who
want to pursue music when they graduate.She knows of several，those particularly interested in
music，and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams.“It is hard but
truly satisfying，” Ray said.“And there’s nothing else like it for them.”
5．What can we learn about Ray from the first two paragraphs?
A．She hosted the award ceremony.
B．She brought music to more people.
C．She gave away instruments to the poor.D．She founded a local charity for children.
6．What do students benefit most from the orchestra?
A．They acquire ④in-depth musical knowledge.
B．They make friends with the ⑤like-minded.
C．They gain personal growth from playing music.
D．They improve their connections with educators.
7．What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about?
A．The reception on the ceremony.
B．Importance of music education.
C．Challenges for music educators.
D．Plans to obtain resources.
8．What does Ray find satisfying according to the last paragraph?
A．Winning a scholarship.
B．Developing interest in music.
C．Making musical achievements.
D．Transforming dreams into reality.

One day as I drove toward my home，I passed the local bus depot.I ①pulled up as a group of
people crossed the road in front of me.As I watched，I noticed a thin，shabbily dressed older lady
struggling with a large suitcase.
Witnessing this lady and remembering similar struggles I had experienced in the past when
traveling，I pulled up alongside her and leaned over to call out through the open passenger
window.“I’m going right into the town，” I said.“I can drop you off.That suitcase looks
awfully heavy.” “Well，all right，” she answered.When we got there，she thanked
me，“Well，bless you，lady.No one has ever done me a kindness like that before.I hope
someone will do a good turn for you one day.”
Shortly after the encounter with the suitcase lady，I decided to spend a day in the mountains
alone.I set off with my dog in my ②pickup，which was elderly but still ③serviceable.After driving
for nearly two hours，I heard a sudden loud noise and my truck came to a full stop.I found its axlewas broken and needed to be towed.In a remote area，with no hope of finding another person，I
knew I was in big trouble.Over and over，I blamed my own ④stupidity for being in a deserted area
with no possible chance of help.I hoped that no wandering bear would come to investigate，or a
hungry mountain lion—with babies.My imagination ran riot.I started to panic.
Then faintly，in the distance，came the roar of motorbikes.As they drew nearer，I could see
that they were a group of motorcycle riders.“Do you need help，ma’am？” I heard a
concerned voice say.The rest is history.My pickup，my dog and I were all transported back to
safety.I shall never forget the kindness of the motorcycle riders who stopped.Some people may
think it was a happy coincidence，but personally I like to say，it was someone that really did a
good turn for me，just as the suitcase lady said.
9．How did the author help the old lady?
A．She ⑤gave her a lift to the town.
B．She helped her cross the road.
C．She carried the suitcase for her.
D．She took her to a nearby hotel.
10．What happened to the author’s pickup on the way to the mountains?
A．It ran out of gas.
B．It crashed into a tree.
C．It broke down.
D．It was attacked by animals.
11.What was the author’s reaction to the incident in paragraph 3?
A．She blamed it on the old road.
B．She lost her temper with the dog.
C．She stayed calm and asked for help.
D．She felt very uneasy and frightened.
12．Which of the following is the best title for the story?
