I devote myself to music because of my grandmother. My mom and I lived with grandparents from the time I was two until I was eight. And even then, I was at their house before and after school every day while my mother was at work.
Grandma loved music. It was her that first _31 me to Elvis Presley as a very young child, and once I heard his music, I was truly in 32 with it. Most five-year-olds ask for 33  for birthdays, but I wanted Elvis’albums. I would play them non-stop and 34 to the music in my grandma’s family room though my movements didn’t look good.
Grandma played the piano and 35  me to sing “America the Beautiful” and “Somewhere over the Rainbow”. I 36 started playing music on the piano, and soon Grandma was paying for me to take piano lessons from a lady living in the 37 . I would come home from __38 and walk three houses down for my lesson. I _39 took about nine months of lessons, but it was enough to give me a(n) 40 and allow me to continue  to teach myself.
Last month when I came home to visit Grandma in the hospital, I brought along my guitar with me. She was in a lot of pain, but the music seemed to _41 her soul. She had me sing some songs and when I started to sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, her weakened voice 42 in with mine for a few lines. That experience was one of the most 43 of my lifetime and one I will certainly cherish forever. I told her of my music career and she was very _44 and said, “That’s wonderful!” I _45 to play for her throughout the week I was home.
My grandma passed away two days ago. In my opinion, part of her will live on through every song I write or sing in my life.

“Scotty!” Mr. Brown, my Year 11 English teacher, called me by my nickname (绰号) across the classroom. His eyes were bright and a secret   36   was half hidden behind the beard.

Once he finished joking over my unbearable   37  , I realized he was going to read my story aloud to the class. I turned red, feeling at once both embarrassed and   38  . I had my very   39   reading audience! Though my classmates were a ‘passive audience’, it didn’t weaken my feeling of being   40  .

After that, I came to   41   those Year 11 English classes. Throughout school I had always studied hard and achieved well in my school subjects. But creative   42   was a passion, and it was not an assignment, but a way of understanding the world and of   43   my thoughts and feelings about events and attitudes.

Mr. Brown was the first to   44   me for my writing so openly. My scores were always 19/20 or 20/20. My stories were often read out to the class. He even   45   one with the respected Head of English teachers, which was the most   46   part that is impressed on my memory. But   47   that, he offered a belief in me that no other teacher had.

My school   48   often stated, ‘Candice is a quiet achiever.’ I thought it was meant as a(n)   49   for being hard-working. I was someone that no one really   50   before, but Mr. Brown managed to   51   all that by bringing me to the attention of the world. Though it was the relatively   52   world of school, it put the seed of belief in myself that some day I could be an   53   person rather than the person who faded into the background.

I   54   touch with my teacher long ago, as we do when we move away from the school system and enter life. I wish I could tell him now how much he   55   me.

C

I have been employed by a charity organization for less than a year now and I have the privilege of finding foster homes for abandoned children. It has always been my dream to work with adopted children because I myself was an adopted child.

I was born in California in September of 1976 and was adopted in Ohio in March of 1977. I have no memory of being told that I was adopted, however, I have always known. I have been told that I was wanted and I was special.

Even though my parents provided me with lots of love, I was always annoyed by the questions about my origin and my feeling of being unwanted. I constantly scanned every crowd I was in for another human that looked like me or laughed like me.

I began searching for my birthparents in 1999 and I imagined every possible scene of my birth family.

I went to a local agency for support and five days later I met my birth mother. The story unfolded. She flew me to Los Angeles the next day and I spent the weekend connecting with another person who looked just like me. We have had a worthwhile relationship over the past years although she could not give me any information about my birth father.

In June of last year a member of my birth father’s family contacted me. Now, he and I are just beginning to get to know what it is like to be a birth child, Without the support of my parents who raised me I would have never experienced the feeling of being truly wanted accepted. For that, I am forever grateful.

64.What’s the author’s attitude towards working with adopted children?

A.He feels it is worth a try.

B.He is eager to work with them.

C.He is strongly against it .

D.He thinks it is painful.

65.How does the author feel about his birth family?

A.He feels that he can’t forgive his birth parents.

B.He understands his birth parents.

C.He misses his birth parents very much.

D.He is afraid of being hurt by them again.

66.Why does the author writes this passage?

A.To complain about being abandoned by his birth parents.

B.To show how deep his desire to work with adopted children is.

C.To encourage other people to find their birth parents.

D.To show his love to his birth parents and his foster parents.
