Directions: In this section, there is one passage. You have to judge the statements true(T) or false(F) after you read each of it. Then write the corresponding letter(T/F)on your Answer Sheet.“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Call...”Why did I notice that? I wondered, since I rarely look at the classified ads.I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before...When my older twin sisters began showing an interest in music, Harriet Anne learned to play Grandma’s upright piano, while Suzanne turned to Daddy’s violin. Simple tunes soon became lovely melodies as the twins played more and more. I loved the mellow sound of the firm bow across the strings of the violin. Oh, how I wanted one!It was not a good year. At harvest the crops did not bring as much as we had hoped. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask: “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?”“Can’t you use Suzanne’s?”“I’d like to be in the orchestra, too, and we can’t both use the same violin at the same time.”Daddy’s face looked sad. That night I heard him remind God in our family devotions, “... and Lord, Mary wants her own violin.”One day, Daddy made a phone call. Then he asked, “Mary, do you want to go with me to visit Mr. Finkle, a friend of mine?”“Sure,” I answered.He drove to a fine, old house. A tall man opened the door. “Come in!” He and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at once.“Mary, I’ve been hearing things about you. Your daddy has arranged a big surprise for you!” Mr. Finkle opened up a case, lifted out a violin and started to play. The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls. Oh, to play like him, I thought.“Carl, I found it in a pawnshop for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary should be able to make beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me.I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I took the violin. I touched the violin gently. The wood was a gold brown that seemed to warm in the light. “It’s beautiful,” I said, barely breathing.My heart beat wildly at my first public performance. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl who held her cherished violin for the whole world to admire.The years seemed to run more swiftly then. My violin made every move with me, and I carefully stored it when we unpacked — briefly remembering how much I still loved it.I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the ad that had transported me back to the childhood memories. I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to fill my needs and desires when I was a little girl. I wondered if I had ever thanked him.I picked up the newspaper, walked to the phone and dialed the number.Later in the day, a man in his 30s knocked on the door. “I’ve been praying someone would answer my ad. My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said, examining the instrument. “How much are you asking?”Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice sum. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.”“Seven dollars,” I repeated, and then added, “I hope your little girl will enjoy it as much as I did.”I closed the door behind him. Peeking through the window, I saw a young girl ran to him as he held out the violin case to her. She hugged it against her, then snapped open the case. She touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon sun, then turned and threw her arms around her smiling father.(1) (判断题)Mary and her sisters all showed interest in music when they were young.正确错误(2) (判断题)Since it was a good year, Mary asked her father to buy a violin for her.正确错误(3) (判断题)Mary’s father agreed to buy her a violin happily and immediately.正确错误(4) (判断题)Mr. Finkle who helped Mary to get the violin was good at playing it.正确错误(5) (判断题)Mary was so happy to get her own violin that she could hardly breathe.正确错误(6) (判断题)Another father in his 30s was eager to get a violin for his daughter.正确错误(7) (判断题)As Mary’s violin was old and worthless, she sold it only for seven dollars.正确错误(8) (判断题)The little girl enjoyed the violin as much as Mary did when she was at that age.正确错误(9) (判断题)Mary’s father looked very sad when she asked him to buy her a violin.正确错误(10) (判断题)Mary didn’t feel very excited at her first public performance.正确错误
