Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness.She became interested in music when she was young.She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion. Ma's mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano.Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes.It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly. Learning the violin was more challenging.Ma needed to feel the teacher's hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself. “After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises，” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin.But Ma said, “As I've been practicing so long, it's hard to give up.I believe I will play better if I persist_in practicing.” In 2018，Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing.She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead. Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event.“All my hard work has paid off.I'm proud of standing on the stage today.” ( C )5.Ma's violin performance made people feel ________.

C People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are still an important part of our lives. Books offer the excellent wealth (财富) of learning at a much lower price than taking a course. Books can make people much cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are. Everything in today's society requires (需要) reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions (说明) on a medicine bottle without many reading skills. Someone may not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of it. Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with the time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can improve our reading abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our free time. With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives. So I think people should read books. ( A )9. What activity is less popular these days than before? A．Reading a book. B．Listening to the radio. C．Watching TV. D．Surfing the Internet. ( C )10. We can learn from the second paragraph that________. A．reading can make your study better B．reading can make you more interesting C．reading can make you smarter D．reading can cut down stress ( B )11. The underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refers to “________”． A．the books people are reading B．the directions on a medicine bottle C．the good reading skills D．the words a doctor tells a sick person ( C )12. Which is the best title for the passage? A．People should enjoy themselves B．How we improve reading skills C．Why people should read books D．What we love doing in free time D It was a hot morning in June in the Alps.Heidi walked behind her aunt，Dete.They were walking through the village and up the mountain.
