13．Six years ago at the age of 35，I suddenly decided I wanted to learn the cello（大提琴）．Straight away I rented an instrument and appeared before Wendell Margrave，professor of musical instruction．
"You can be as good as you want to be，"Margrave said rather mysteriously．On a piece of paper he drew the notes E and F．He showed me where to put my fingers on the neck of the cello and how to draw the bow．Then he entered my name in his book：10am，Tuesday．Tuesday followed Tuesday，and soon it was spring．
Thus began my voyage out of ignorance and into the dream．E-F，E-F，we played together-and moved on to G．It was a happy time．I was again becoming something new，and no longer trapped as the same person．Surely the most terrible recognition of middle life is that we are past changing．We dowhat we can already do．The cello was something I couldn't do．Yet each Tuesday this became less and less true．Riding home on the bus one snowy night and learning the score of Mozart's C-Major Quintet（莫扎特的C大调五重奏），I felt the page burst into music in my hands．I could by ten more or less read a score，and was humming（哼唱）the cello line，when suddenly all five parts came together harmonically（和谐地） in my head．The fellowsitting opposite stared．I met his glance with tears，actually hearing the music in my head for the first time．Could he hear it too，perhaps？No，he got off at the next stop．As the years slipped by，my daughter grew up，playing the piano well．My goal was that she and I would one day perform together．I also wanted to perform in public with and for my peers，and to be secretly envied．I continued to play，to perform，but it is not the same．Before，when I heard a cello，it was all beauty and light．Now，as the TV camera gets close to Rostropovich's face，I recognize that his smile shows his incredible determination．Even for him，the cello is a difficult instrument that doesn't respect your ambitions．I picked up my cello and practiced．As good as I wanted to be，I am as good as I'm going to get．It is good enough．

12．Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and possibly cancer．
（26）FSome people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Others burst with anger，and scream and yell．But other people keep their anger inside．They cannot or will not express it．This is called repressing anger．
For years many doctors thought that repressing（压抑） anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases the same hormones （荷尔蒙）．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc．（27）A
（28）GThey say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of th anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is，they say，"（29）EWait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry．（30）B

7．Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the 2000Olympic games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world．Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the world's beautiful beaches，this city has so much to offer．Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully．Public transport is good，but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor．
The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay．Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains，buses and ferries meet．It's also where Sydney's two most famous landmarks are located-the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge．This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room．
The farther hotels in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less expensive．Daring Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the centre of the city．Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs，clubs and restaurants along the water's edge．
If you don't feel like dealing with the hustle and bustle of the city and are looking for something a bit quieter，why not head out to the Northern Beaches？It's only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques （时装店，精品店）．

6．Green is an important color in nature．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees．It is also the color of most growing plants．
Sometimes，the word"green"means young，fresh and growing．For example，a greenhorn is someone who has no experience．In the 15th century，a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns（角）had not yet developed．A century later，a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war．By the 18th century，a greenhorn had the meaning it has today-a person who is new in a job．
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb（大拇指）．The expression comes from the early 20th century．A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well．
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling，jealousy（嫉妒）．The green-eyed monster （怪物）is not a dangerous animal from outer space．It is an expression used about 400years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello"．It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants．For example，a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not．
In most places in the world，a green light means to move ahead．In everyday speech，a green light means agree to continue with a project．

5．If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice：there are four skills in learning English．They are reading，listening，speaking and writing．The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening．
Read as much as you can．But your reading must be active．It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences，the meaning of the unfamiliar words，etc．There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across，but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them，for example in other passage or books，is enough．It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it．
As for listening，there are two choices：besides reading，you can listen every day for about 30minutes．You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading，then you can catch up on your listening．Since you have lots of inputs in your mind，you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say．This never means that you should not practice listening．
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children．Their languages are easy．Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day．Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes．
If you follow these pieces of advice，your speaking and writing will improve automatically，and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect．
