A
About 17 years ago,I started an adult music class at Austin Community College.I already had a private studio of young talented kids,and one adult student who had played some brass instrument in junior high band,but wanted to learn the violin.Leslie was her name and she was my first adult student.
She came to lessons knowing how to read music,but that was all about it.After our first couple of lessons,I thought for sure she wouldn’t last.I saw the long,hard battle in front of her,and many times,I must admit,I thought of suggesting that she choose another instrument,something easier,like piano or guitar.Although she was very anxious,she never let it stop her.As I watched Leslie slowly develop into a good violinist,my own ideas and feelings changed about teaching adult students.
Because I started as a child I had never experienced what my adult student had: the burning desire to learn the violin, the will to continue.I had never owned those things.For me learning to play was the by-product(副产品)of a childhood activity chosen for me by my mother.
After a few years of lessons,Leslie’s skills were growing and I thought it would be nice for her to play with other people,so I opened an adult music class at Austin Community College.Again,the outcome of that experience I couldn’t have imagined either.Besides being a ton of fun for me,Leslie met three other women in the class who decided after the term was over to get together once a week to play string quartets(弦乐四重奏).I recently ran into Lola(the oldest member of the group who is now in her 70’s)and she said the group still meets regularly.

Every day is a gift,and if you look forward to spending each day with happiness, wake up every morning with a positive attitude and enjoy a beautiful day!
Set up a daily plan for yourself and ensure that you reserve enough time for your homework.Also,don’t forget to spare some time for play!Stop being lazy and start participating in your life instead of just watching it pass by.Try to do something fun and constructive every day.Read a book,write something interesting in your diary,try a new hobby,spend time with your friends,or just watch your favorite show on television,and you will see how every moment of your day unfolds.You’ll achieve better results,and ultimately greater success.
However,every day will not be the way you want it to be.Some days will be good,while some will be bad.You won’t be always happy and smiling.You may come across many challenges.Don’t forget to remind yourself to slow down and take care of yourself.In today’s busy lifestyle,it is necessary to relax to bring balance and joy back into your life.So,take charge of your life.Enjoy and appreciate the small things around you.Do a good deed and make others happy.Sometimes,doing something as simple as having a cup of tea with an old friend or a family member,listening to a cheerful song,or just writing down all the things that make you happy could indeed turn your day around!
Review and analyze your day before you retire at night.Reward yourself for completing the set goals and prepare the stage for the next day.This will impact your sleep and overall happiness levels.Plan for the next day,take a good rest,and wake up fresh the next morning!

Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,Leslie是作者教的学习小提琴的第一个成年学生,一开始作者对她充满担心,但她的坚持和决心最终使她成了一名优秀的小提琴手,这改变了作者认为成年人不适合学小提琴的观念。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句话可知,Leslie曾在初中乐队演奏过铜管乐器。故答案为B项。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,几节课之后,作者确信她不会一直学下去,因为她前行的路上将长期充满艰辛。很多次,作者一直在考虑让她去学点更简单的乐器,比如钢琴或者吉他。由此可判断出作者认为她不适合学小提琴。
3.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句话可知,几年的课程之后,Leslie的技巧有了长足的进步,作者想她如果和别人合奏对她会有好处,因此作者在奥斯汀社区大学开办了一个成人室内音乐课堂。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知,作者没想到的是Leslie通过自己的坚持和努力最终成了一名优秀的小提琴手,这是他完全没想到的,令他敬佩不已。故答案为D项。
【语篇导读】对于一个学生来说,应该怎样快乐地度过每一天?作者给出了合理的建议。
5.B 考查细节理解。根据第二段的前两句可知,每天都需要留出足够的时间来完成家庭作业,还要挤出时间玩耍,这样的读者最有可能是学生。
6.A 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Try to do something fun and constructive every day.”可知,作者提到“阅读一本书”,就是为了告诉读者一些让自己快乐而又同时有益于自己的方法。
7.D 考查推理判断。根据第三段的“So,take charge of your life.Enjoy and appreciate the small things around you.Do a good deed and make others happy.”可知,生活中有欢乐也有忧愁,重要的是要照顾好自己的生活。感恩生活的同时也要做善事给别人带来快乐,也就是个人要有所作为。
8.A 考查标题判断。文章第一段就提到要想每天生活幸福,早上起来就要有一个积极的态度。接着文章谈到既要认真学习,也要会玩。生活中有欢乐也有忧愁,要正确面对。晚上要做好总结,规划第二天,保障睡眠。还要不断尝试,勇于创新。这实际上就是不要虚度每一天。
