    　　I remember the way the light touched her hair．She turned her head, and our eyes met, a momentary awareness in that noisy fifth grade classroom．I felt as though I’d been stuck a blow under the heart．Thus began my first love affair．

    　　Her name was Rachel, and I mooned my way through the grade and high school, stricken at the mere sight of her, tongue-tied in her presence．Does anyone, anymore, wander in the shadows of evening, drawn by the pale light of a window-her window-like some unlucky summer insect?

    　　Her beauty made me awkward(笨拙的)and my voice crack(沙哑)is like some impossible dream now．I would catch sight of her, walking down an aisle of trees to or from, and I’d be-come a fool．She always seemed so charming．

    　　At home, I’d relive each meeting between us, suffering at the thought of my shortcoming．We eventually got to know as we entered our adolescence, she knew I had a case on her, and I sensed her emotional tolerance for me．“Going steady” implied a maturity we still lacked．Her Orthodox Jewish upbringing and my own Catholic belief made even kissing a distant prospect(前景)，however strongly desired．

    　　At any rate, my love for Rachel remained without result．We graduated from high school, she went on to college, and I joined the Army．When World War II broke out, l was sent overseas．For a time we wrote, and her letters were the highlight of those terrible endless years．

    　　I mentioned the possibility of marriage in my nest letter, and almost immediately her replies became less frequent, less personal．Her Dear John letter finally caught up with me while I was awaiting discharge．She gently explained the impossibility of a marriage between us．

    　　Looking back on it, I must have recovered rather quickly, although for the first few months I believed I didn’t want to live．Like Rachel, I found someone else, whom I learned to love with a deep and permanent commitment that has lasted to this day．

    　　My great-aunt Emma was rather a terrifying old lady. She had been the headmistress of quite an important girls' boarding school and she had come, over the years, to look upon everyone as backward and naughty (淘气) school-girls, especially members of her own family. My brother and I were never very happy when she came to visit us and used to spend as much time out of the house as we possibly could. Luckily for us, even though she had given up teaching many years before, she still led a very full social life and had little time for family visits.

    　　But I remember that once she came to bur house for a long weekend during the summer. Mother thought that a few days by the sea would do her good. George and I were sent to the station to meet her, and this time we hadn't been able to find a reasonable excuse to get out of it. There was no doubt about our being able to recognize her at the station as she was always dressed in the same fashion. It was not that she was short of clothes; in fact she had a vast selection, but they all looked exactly the same.

    C．she had not seen the family for a long time

    D．she came almost every summer

    A．she was dressed in a fashionable way

    One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that，” and it is even harder to say “I was wrong, and you were right about that.”

    I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.

    I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.

    There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reasons, I decided it was up to me to push the display back together, and went to work.

    The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the wrongdoer. He severely punished me and warned me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.

    　　  1. Who was to blame for knocking off the stacks of cartons?

    　　   　　A. The author.　　　　　　 B. The manager.

    　　　　   C. A woman.　　　　　　  D. The author's mother.

    　　  2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    　　　　   A. The woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons was seriously criticized by the manager.

    　　　　   B. The author was severely criticized by the manager.

    　　　　   C. A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartons.

    　　　　  D. It was the author who put the display back together.

    　　 3. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?

    　　　　  A. It's Harder to Admit One's Mistake.

    　　　　  B. I Was Once the Wrongdoer.

    　　　　  C. I Remember an Incident.

    　　　　  D. A Case of Mistaken Identity.

    　　 4. The tone of the article expresses the author's——.

       　　   A. admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistake

    　　　　  B. anger to the manager for his wrong accusation

    　　　　  C. indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons

    　　　　  D. regret for the mistake he made in the store

    Let's Talk Music!

    Dear Li Ming,

    　　Hi, my name is Brianne. I am a friend of Jenny's. Jenny tells me you are thinking about starting guitar lessons. She suggested that I write to you because I have taken many kinds of music lessons. I am happy to talk to you about my favourite topic:music.

    　　I am sending the CD of my favourite singer. I hope you enjoy it. I listen to this music every day on the radio and I thought you might like it, too. Bryan Adams is very popular here. Have you ever heard of him? He's great! How about in China? When I take the school bus each day, I like to bring my “Discman” so that I can listen to music while I am going to school. It is important that students be happy on the bus, don't you think? I love many kinds of music and I think music is very important in life.　　Music has been a part of my life since I was young. When I was only four, I started taking violin lessons. We had many music parties and concerts. Then as I got older, I play the piano, and eventually joined the band at school and started playing the saxophone. That's when I learned to appreciate jazz music. Now,even though I like listening to popular music, I also love playing music.

    　　Once I learned to play sax, and fell in love with jazz music, I wanted to sing. So now I am taking guitar lessons. I absolutely love it! It's easier to sing when you have a guitar to keep you “on key”. I'm surprised at how easy it is. I recommend you start your lessons right away and I'm sure that you will learn very quickly. Someday maybe we will be able to play together. Wouldn't that be fun?

    　　Lately, I've been thinking about how important music is. In Canada we sometimes say, “Music is the language of the soul.” I think this is true because when I play music, I can experience emotions and express parts of myself that I can't really talk about in words. Do you know what I mean, Li Ming? Have you ever had this experience? Whether I'm feeling down, or having the best time, music always makes the day better.

    　　Actually, I can think of one day, years ago, when music didn't make my day better. I was playing in a piano concert with three of my friends. We were in this fancy hall with a baby grand piano on the stage and two judges sitting in the audience. I was terrified! It was the first time I had to know my song by memory. My first friend went up and played her song; the audience clapped and she returned to her seat. She had played beautifully. My second friend also played well. Then the judges called my name. I had butterflies in my stomach and a lump in my throat as I slowly walked up to the stage. I began to play.

    　　About halfway through the song, I completely forgot the notes! I stopped playing, and then started again at the beginning, but when I got to the same place, I forgot the notes again. This time I stopped and looked up at the audience and saw one of the judges slowly walking up to the stage to bring me the music book. I have never been so embar-rassed in all my life! By the way, I didn't win the competition.

    　　Whenever I remember this story, I laugh. It doesn't seem so tragic now. Don't let it scare you. Most of my memories of music are good ones, and I don't ever want to stop playing instruments and listening to good music. Pop music, classical music, jazz or even country music, I enjoy them all.

    　　So, Li Ming, I strongly recommend that you take the guitar lessons. Please let me know how it turns out. I hope you enjoy this gift of music. I would like to know what you think about music. What kind of music do you listen to?

    Your new friend,

    Brianne
