"I don’t sing," said the man.
But the lady told the waiter, "I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!
The waiter shouted across the room, "Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!’
So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.
You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.
小题1: The lady asked the player to sing a song because _____.
A.she had paid him for this | B.she knew him very well |
C.she wanted to have a change | D.she enjoyed his singing |
A.the lady helped him a lot | B.he caught the chance |
C.he continued to play in the bar | D.he stopped playing the piano |
A.fail to realize | B.forget to use |
C.try to develop | D.manage to show |
A.hide it and wait | B.ask others for help |
C.pay no attention to it | D.work hard to improve yourself |
A.Sing in the Bar | B.Achieve Success in Life |
C.Never Lose Heart | D.Find Your Hidden Talent |

小题1:B
小题1:A
小题1:D
小题1:D
解析
文章讲的是在酒吧,一个妇女要一个钢琴手Nat King Cole唱歌,到他通过把握机会努力提高自己,后来成名的故事,说明我们要学会发现自己隐藏的天赋。
1. C 细节题。从"I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!可知这位妇女讨厌听钢琴了,想换个口味听音乐,故选C。
2. B 此题是个推理题。本来Nat King Cole并不知道自己有唱歌的天赋,But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US可知他坚持努力工作,抓住了机会,所以成名了,故选B。
3. A 此题是猜词题。从后文说你根本不能成功,如果你都没有意识到你的天赋的话。我们可以通过选项来进行排除。
4. D 我们可以从With hard work, most skills can be improved得出答案,光有天赋不行,还得努力工作提高自己的更多的技能,选D。
5.D 本题是选标题,我们必须从全文整体来考虑。A答案只是文章的一个小方面,B答案范围相对太广,C答案没有提及。D指我们应该发现我们的天赋,Nat King Cole的成功,是那个妇女发现,他努力才获得的,故选D。

“How do you know?” was my logical question.They responded that their moms cooked and Always told them what they were doing wrong to show their earning.I was strummed. So mom’s cooking and criticizing read our as “I love you”.”Then how do you say ‘I love you to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in clauses over time.Gradually,I began to get different responses.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her.This had never happened before,but her mom said,“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love.
