  It was a freezing day, when I picked up a wallet in the street. There was nothing 1 but a letter that was 2 Hellen. On the torn 3 I found the return address, so I called information. The operator asked me to 4 on, and she came back on the 5 soon, she told me that Hellen’s family had 6 their house years ago. Hellen had to 7 her mother in a nursing home.

  I called and found out that Hellen’s mother had 8 . The woman who answered 9 that Hellen herself was 10 living here.

  The director waited for me at the 11 of the nursing home. I went up to the third floor. Hellen was an old woman with a warm smile and 12 eyes. I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter. She took a deep 13 “Young man,”she said,“this was the 14 letter I had written to Mike 60 years ago. I loved him very much. I guess no one ever 15 up to him. I still think of him…”

  I thanked Hellen and came back to the director. His secretary looked at the wallet 16 and said, “Hey, that’s Mr. Goldstein’s. He’s always losing it. He’s 17 here en the 8th floor. That’s his wallet, for 18 .”

  We hurried to him and asked 19 he had lost his wallet. Mike felt his back pocket and then said, “Goodness, it’s missing.”

  When I returned him the wallet and told him where Hellen was, he grew 20 .“When the letter came,” He said,“my life ended. I never married.”

  We took him to Hellen’s room. They stood, looked at each other for a minute and embraced (拥抱).

阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students to begin at an earlier age. Robby said that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him on as a student.

Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions. But he just did not have any inborn ability.

I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in.  Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.

I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came,telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part in it. I agreed, but I made him perform last in the program, so I could save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.

I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.

I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How could you do it?”

“Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.”

That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.

1.Why might Robby have stopped coming to piano lessons suddenly?

A. He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.

2. We can know from the passage that __________.

A. the writer thought students shouldn’t begin playing the piano too early

B. the writer thought that Robby had given up his piano lessons

C. only by practicing at home did Robby learn to play well

D. no one else could play the piece of Mozart’s as well as Robby

3.From the underlined sentence, we can infer that _________.

A. the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked him

B. the writer thought Robby was a bad advertisement for her teaching

C. with Robby in the recital, the other children couldn’t play well

D. the writer couldn’t teach so many students at a time

4. The writer made Robby perform last because _________.
