Shane Thomas is a 10-year-old pianist from England. He’s being called the next Mozart because of his amazing abilities.
He has only been having piano lessons for four months, and practices four hours a week, but he has already played difficult classical pieces. He was just seven when he sat down at the piano, and could play at once. He also says he never gets nervous.
When Shane was three years old, he said that he could play the piano, but nobody took him seriously. At school, he could listen to the teacher and do his work while composing (作曲) in his head. Shame remembers all the melodies(旋律),and when he gets home he plays them on the piano, while his father records them. Shane loves playing the piano, and when he grows up he wants to be a composer.
His tutor, Richard Goffin-Lecar, says he is like Amadeus Mozart, who lived during the 18th century in Salzburg, Austria, and was one of the most famous composers ever. Mr. Goffin-lecar says, “I don’t teach Shane very much. I just give him directions, then sit back and watch.”
His father, a single parent with two other children, says that although he has little money, he wants to send Shane to a good music school. “I’m a single father, but I have this gifted child. I don’t have much money, but I want to give him the best teachers, and also take him into a studio to record.”

Two people sit down to play Go(围棋). One of the players is an old man. He is now 89 years old. He has spent all of his life playing this game. The other person is a young woman. She has been playing Go for only three years. Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games. Now she plays Go the same way she played computer games---by becoming a machine herself.

They will play many games until they know who the winner is. The woman shows no feelings but thinking about all the possible ways of placing her next stone. The old man, on the other hand, looks at the movements of her hands and of her face. This has always helped him to win.

He wins the first three games. She wins the next game, and the man is surprised. He has never lost to a woman. The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He can't read her face; he does not understand her way of playing.

"The way I think about the game" says the woman, "is that it is steps for getting what I want. " Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life itself, and not a model of life.

"There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing" he says.

They cannot agree with each other; but it is not necessary.

"Change is a necessary part of life" thinks the man.

"Playing is as important as winning" thinks the woman.

They start to play their final game.

D. The woman is very slow in learning how to play Go.

A. the old man doesn't care who the winner is

  A Band plays in Lumley Park every Sunday afternoon.I often attend these open-air concerts if the weather is fine, because I find ita restful ways of passing time, and because the band plays many kinds of music:dance music, marching music, anything with a tune that you can whistle; you know what I mean.

  One Sunday, there was a blind girl in the front row of the audience, just behind the band-leader.She was about fourteen or fifteen years of age, I should think.She had been sitting down until about halfway through the programme, when the band started to play The Blue Danube(蓝色多瑙河)by Strauss.I’d never heard them play this particular piece before; and there was something magical about the way they played it then.They had only played a few bars when this blind girl stood up and began waving her arms about in time to the music, just as the band-leader himself was doing.

  After a while, I could see that more and more members of the band were watching the blind girl instead of the band-leader.And the leader must have noticed this himself, because he turned round and watched her, and saw that she was keeping perfect time.He was a very thoughtful man, that band-leader; I took my hat off to him.He moved to one side little by little so that the band could see the blind girl better, and after a while he stopped conducting altogether.The band knew the piece quite well, of course, so things weren’t likely to go seriously wrong.But she dept time beautifully, and she made it clear when she wanted certain passages to be loud or soft, just as the band-leader himself had done.Since then, to be quite honest, I’ve never heard The Blue Danube played better anywhere.

  I have seldom heard an audience clap more loudly than that audience, when the music was over.I should think they must have heard the noise on the other side of the town.When the blind girl sat down, even from where I was sitting I could see that there were tears running down her face.
