  I got off the college shuttle bus and started walking.That's when I heard piano music and singing   1   above the noise of the people and the traffic.I walked a little   2   so I could find out where it was coming from.Through the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a   3   next to her.

  She was singing songs about love, keeping on trying.The way she was singing   4   me a bit.I stood there watching her   5   for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must take  6   to perform on her own in the middle of a   7   New York ferry terminal.

  So I stood there listening.She must have felt my   8   because she would   9   look in my direction.Having enjoyed her music for several minutes, I walked over and put some money in her carriage and she said, “Thank you.”   10   continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going   11   a tough time lately, but you've made me hopeful again.”

  “I'm happy that I could help,” she replied.“Why are you so sad?”

  “Well, my mum told me she had got   12   from her job, and that made me sad.I'm not

  so sure what to do…”

  “You see, here’s the problem.” she explained.“When walking, your head was down.Don't look defeated, because   13   comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it.You should smile more...lift your head up.”

  I smiled weakly, amazed by   14   she was encouraging me.So, I asked her why she was playing the piano in the middle of a crowded place.She explained to me that she sees a lot of   15   people in the world and she tries to   16  the pain and bring more positivity by sharing   17   music.She told me that when she wasn't making music she studied   18  .So, that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.

  I smiled a little   19   because I knew that she was doing a good thing.After that we parted, my heart touched and   20   by a musical soul!

  Basketball was his path out of poverty(贫穷).Had he not played the game, he would be Allen Iverson the car repairer, dustman or even drug dealer(毒贩), copying his father’s lifestyle and those of most of his childhood friends.

  But he saw fame and success in a basketball and the 28-year-old has built his kingdom on the courts of NBA.Though he was suffering flu, he scored a season-high 50 points as Philadelphia 76ers beat Atlanta Hawks 98-86 on November 30.He is now the league’s leading scorer with an average of 28.4 points per game.

  Unlike other NBA stars, his success is not due to his size.At 1.83 metres, Iverson is no giant but he isn’t afraid to challenge bigger guys.“I just hit shots, ” he said.“The basket sometimes looks like an ocean.”

  He is known as “the answer” and 76ers’ fans hope he can be the answer to their prayers for an NBA championship.They might be in luck as Iverson has had to find solutions to tough problems ever since he was a child.

  “I used to come home and there would be no lights, no food, only unpaid bills, ” he remembers of his childhood.Never having met his real father, Iverson became man of the house at the age of 12 when his stepfather was arrested.

  But his mother, despite being poor, never gave up hope for her son.“I have never looked up to anyone apart from(除……之外)my mum.She means everything to me, ”he said.“She inspired me and she made me believe I could be somebody and I could do something with my life.”

B.

  [1]What makes you nervous and excited when you think about high school? That’s right:social life! In high school, you’re at an age when you’re going through lots of physical and emotional changes, and these changes can influence your relationships with people of your age.Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  [2]1.Accept that your friendships will change.You must understand that all friendships change and grow over time.It’s natural to feel sad about leaving a friend.You might be far away for a year, and then meet each other again when you find yourself in a new class together.Anything can happen; just listen to your heart and keep the lines of communication open!

  [3]2.Be willing to make new friends in your current classes.You might not have the same schedule as your middle school friends.You’ll be happiest if you have friends in the places where you spend the most time.

  [4]3.Find other people who like the same things you do.This will happen naturally if you know enough about yourself and what you’re good at.It’s important to be with people who are interested in what you’re interested in, so be willing to make friends in your new activities.

  [5]4.Try to think outside the idea of “groups”.This is a tough one.If you’re getting pressure from one group of friends not to hang out with someone else, maybe you’re better off as a free agent.
