Thinking the piano accordion(键盘式手风琴) a reasonable instrument, my parents asked me to attend lessons offered on weekends. After several weeks, my instructor told Mom that I had talent (天赋) and could be a musician. As a result, for Christmas I received a full-sized Mundinger accordion. Then, in 1983, I decided to return to full-time studies. Needing money to support my education, I placed an ad and found a buyer for my accordion. Over the years, I felt a feeling of shame sometimes about that Mundinger my father had paid for—by working so hard as a miner. I would recall(回想起) how much happiness my practicing and playing had given him. By 2013, Dad was in a nursing home. In those situations when an accordion player would be brought in to cheer up the people there, I would see his eyes light up. I began to consider the possibility of being able to bring that happiness to him myself whenever I visited, and I asked my son, Sam, to find me a small accordion. Weeks later, I took the bus to Thompson Pawnbrokers where Sam told me to check out their accordions. When I noted that there were only two full-sized accordions, I asked to check out more in the back of the store, explaining that I wanted something smaller. It was when the clerk(店员) placed the instrument on the counter that I realized that the accordion I was looking at was not LIKE the instrument I used to have, it was THE instrument I used to have! Before Dad passed away the following month, I brought the instrument to the nursing home. Before I told Dad how I had come to own it once again, I asked, “Do you know what that is, Papa?” Although he had dementia(痴呆), he answered, “Of course, Lenny! It’s your accordion.” 1.

Why was the author looking for a small accordion? A. To be a player again. B. To make his son happy. C. To find his old accordion. D. To see his father’s smile. 3. Which accordion did the author bring home finally? A. An accordion similar to his old one. B. One of the two full-sized accordions. C. A smaller accordion than he expected. D. The accordion he used to own. 4. What happened when the author showed his father the accordion? A. His father was too excited to say a word. B. His father showed little interest. C. His father still remembered it. D. His father asked for it as a gift. Ⅶ. 阅读填句 Music is great because it comes in many shapes and forms and can be used for so many different purposes. This is one of the reasons why we humans, whether young or old, love music. I think it’s safe to say that I like music a bit more than the average person. ______ When I’m home all day, I listen to music well, all day, and here’s why. The first reason why I love music is that it helps me to relax. ______ What I’ve found is that it especially helps me to relax when I’m on the train going to or from work. Going to work it helps me to get into the right mindset (思维模式) for getting my workday started. ______ Another reason I love music is because I can dance to it. ______ Be it in class, at a party or at a club. All I need is some good music and I’m a happy bunny(兔子). Apart from that, singing along with songs also makes me happy so music has very positive connotations(含义) for me. ______ It makes my dark days just a little brighter and my happy days burst with(充满) sunshine. I don’t know what I’d do without music. Whether it is an old song from the 60s or something brand new(全新的); it all has its value and purpose to me. That’s what makes music so interesting; there is so much out there and there is something for everyone. A. It really gives me a sense of peace. B. I enjoy finding new music I don’t know yet. C. Nothing makes me happier than a good dance. D. A day without music is a bad day in my book. E. Going back home it helps me to leave my work“troubles”behind. F.
