Dad recently read me a speech, hoping to satisfy my endless search for answers-answers to everything. Ever
since I was very young, I’ve asked countless times “What should I do?”, trying to avoid making mistakes. Maybe
I feared to take my first baby step on my own I think.
During my middle school years, I changed. It was when I decided to try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast
(野兽) without asking Dad for advice. Never mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements, and I
would take the chance that I might fail.
On the day of audition (试镜), I kept telling myself, “If you don’t think you can do it the right way, just don’t
go.” My heart was pounding; my hands were shaking so badly that I wasn’t certain whether people would hear
me.
But something happened. When I opened my mouth, I found the sound was loud, powerful and sweet! And I
even reached the high notes that I’d never reached! It was fantastic! I was trying bravely even though I might fail.
But I didn’t. That audition wasn’t the end of the trap that kept me from trying, but it was definitely an important
part of the process of growing.
That day, I realized that if I want to live my life to the fullest, I have to push myself. Because my parents,
friends and teachers don’t always have the answer to “What should I do?”.
Now, I do take these chances, with baby steps, every day, like voicing my opinions in class discussions,
riding my horse over a three-foot jump...
“Life is learning to deal with Plan B．” Dad stated in his speech. But I now know the Plan As I make for
my life will become easier and easier with every chance I take.

A．always liked to ask her father some strange questions
B．was afraid to fail and just wanted to do things the right way

62．What happened to the author on the day of audition?
A．She found it hard to remember all the lines and movements.
B．No one could hear her clearly since her voice was shaking.
C．She successfully beat herself and performed much better than she’d expected.D．She regretted not accepting Dad’s advice.
63．The father mentioned Life is learning to deal with Plan B because he ________.
A．wished the author could keep searching for answers
B．expected the author to avoid mistakes in life
C．believed Plan B was always much easier than Plan A
D．hoped the author could try things bravely and never fear to make mistakes

B．It was never hard for the author to reach high notes while she was singing.
C．The audition made the author more confident in life.

It is been four years since I came to America. The year before I arrived, every weekend I was woken up by
Spring River in the Flower Moon Night, played by mom on a Zheng (古筝). Mom was always enchanted by the
beauty of Chinese traditional music, but she never had the chance to learn an instrument. Five years ago, she got a
Zheng from a friend and has been playing and performing ever since. In this foreign country, when I miss mom, I
search for the songs she used to play on the Internet. But I never expected to hear Chinese music here in Boston.
Earlier this year, I happened to meet Zhantao Lin, the director of Boston Chinese Association. At Lin’s
house, I heard the sound of the erhu! Lin later introduced me to his music team and I heard them rehearse (排练)
for a performance this year. It suddenly brought me back to my hometown in China.
Teaching is also part of Lin’s daily routine. Besides performing, he passed on his love of the erhu to his
students. I went to one of Lin’s classes and met 9-year-old London Turk. I asked him why he chose to learn the
erhu. “Mom loved this instrument. She says there are so many beautiful things in Chinese culture: the music, the
language, and the art. So I expect to explore the beauty of the erhu.” he said.
I was shocked. I thank my mom for giving me a chance to be lost in the Chinese musical world. The music
makes me relaxed, and it also cures me of my homesickness. Now living alone in a foreign land, I feel deeply
proud of the magical charm and power of our culture.
66．The word “enchanted ” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.A．fascinated B．admired C．controlled D．beaten

A．now lives in Zhantao Lin’s house
B．joined Zhantao Lin’s music team and began to go on tour
C．thought it is much easier to learn the erhu than the Zheng
D．could get some comfort while listening to the beautiful Chinese traditional music
69．What can we NOT learn from the passage?
A．London Turk began to learn the erhu with the encouragement of his mother.
B．Spring River in the Flower Moon Night is the author’s favorite piece.
C．Lin might hope everyone of his students could truly be in love with the erhu.
