课时梯级训练(二十)　Section Ⅴ　Writing Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2023·天津高一检测)A few years ago，my husband Matt offered to get me a digital piano for my 41st birthday.Matt knew that I had taken piano lessons as a kid，but stopped doing so in the seventh grade.I was at the age when I would rather go to the mall with friends than play the piano on the weekends. I was game for a digital piano，but skeptical—I wasn't sure I was going to play it that often.However，Matt was persistent.He reminded me that I'd mentioned wanting to play the piano again，so he bought me one and set it up in my office. To be honest，I had only made half­hearted attempts over the years to take up various hobbies，mostly craft­related ones like knitting(编织) and cross­stitch(十字绣)，to relax.But nothing really stuck. Then，two years ago，I had a baby.The piano became even more of an afterthought as I became consumed by the challenges of parenting.I had enough on my plate，I told myself.There was no point in adding another thing that was probably just going to stress me out. But recently，my 2­year­old son had figured out how to turn on the digital piano and loved to bang on the keys.Seeing him play so joyfully，I thought maybe I could take piano lessons and help him to prepare for the music world. I started lessons a couple of weeks later，and it turned out that I could handle 15 minutes a day. Sometimes，I could handle 40 minutes.I found myself completely immersed in playing the piano.The repetition calmed me.Going over difficult parts in each piece I was learning was incredibly satisfying.To my great surprise，at age 44，I have an actual hobby now，and I really look forward to performing together with my son one day. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的丈夫在作者41岁时送给她一架数码钢琴，但是因养育孩子繁忙而放弃。然而，两岁儿子对钢琴的兴趣让作者重新开始上钢琴课，并在弹钢琴中得到了平静和满足感。 1．Which of the following statements about the author is true according to the passage?
