(B) I used to be an active girl. But two years ago, an English speaking competition held in my school changed me a lot. I stood on the stage for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty. Not long after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed. From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn’t want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn’t understand me, and they left me, one by one. One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question! I thought. “There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand their branches. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn’t do that since there’s enough space. I said in a low voice. To my surprise, the teacher said, “Yes, you’re right. It is a competition. My face turned red right now. I hadn’t spoken for a long time, especially in public. Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society. What’s more, the tree that doesn’t live in a crowd is just like a person who has no friends in life. I raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that I must stand up and face the truth. 根据短文内容.判断正. 31.( ) We can know there was an English speaking competition two years ago from the first paragraph. 32.( ) The hall turned noisy because the weather was too hot. 33.( ) After the competition, the writer lost her confidence. 34.( ) The science teacher’s question was difficult. 35.( ) From the story, we can guess the writer is likely to stand up from her seat after the science class. 查看更多

I used to live in Kobe in Japan. On my way home on the bus every evening I used to look for an old man who often played his saxophone (萨克斯管) near the river. I couldn’t hear his music because the windows were closed on the bus but I imagined it to be loud and clear. I wanted to be like that man.

One night I went to Himeji, a city not far from Kobe. As I walked with my family along the river I saw a statue. It was a young man who looked just like me. He was wearing a cap and smiling. Around his neck was a leather strap (皮带) and in his hands was a saxophone. He was lifting the saxophone to his lips and he was just about to play. I stayed there for a long time by the statue dreaming of playing a saxophone on TV.

Two weeks later it was my birthday. Imagine my joy when I opened my present from my parents and found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my lips to play, but it wouldn’t make a sound. Then Dad told me to read the instruction book to find out what to do. After about 15 minutes the saxophone was ready to play. I raised it slowly to my lips as my family watched. But still there was no sound. I blew and blew but I couldn’t get the saxophone to play. I was almost crying when suddenly the saxophone made the most beautiful sound—loud and clear like I imagined the music of the man by the river in Kobe. I blew again, I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. I was happy because I was playing very interesting sounds. But I wasn’t playing music yet.

Then came the lessons. Night after night, week after week my teacher made me practice. Slowly I started to improve and at last there came the magic day when I started to play music. Now I’m in the TV studio with my saxophone strapped to my neck and my cap on my head. I’m always thinking of the man by the river in Kobe and the statue smiling at me in Himeiji. I’m a happy man.

1.On the bus, the writer couldn’t ________.

A.find an old man with a saxophone           B.see a river
