【题目】 I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010.We were in financial trouble,so she said politely,"Sorry,son,but we can't now.”

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 6 months playing without touching a real piano.Once my mom saw that I was serious,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 sat my Grade 1 after 8 lessons.Once I started secondary school,we couldn't afford lessons again.I passed Grade 3,and then Grade 5,practicing only on my piece of paper.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 that I'd played for her and she was in shock.

My school didn't offer music A-level.I found the Purcell School for young musicians,but the tryouts were difficult.Some of the questions even involved an evaluation of the composer.I was at a loss.But to my amazement,I was offered a place.At Purcell,I spent 2 years working as hard 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 academic music prize.I'm now at the Guildhall School in London.I feel proud-it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano,and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools.

Surprisingly,I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano:what we call mental practice.The paper piano helped motivate my curiosity about how music works.

A chop also served as a valid signature. All official5(document) in China needed a chop to be valid. Today, most Chinese are educated, but the tradition6(keep) alive in China.

If you spend any length of time in China, you will almost 7(certain) need to have a chop. If you’re staying a short time, a chop makes a(n) 8 (amaze) souvenir. A chop can be made quickly, but first you will need to have your name9 (translate) into Chinese characters.

There are many different sizes and styles of chops. Inexpensive small chops can be carved 10wood or plastic — upmarket chops are made from ivory, jade, marble or steel. Only a special type of slow-drying red ink is used for a name chop, so if you buy a chop in China, get an inkpad (印泥盒) too.
