On Nov．18，1995，Itzhak Perlman，the violinist，came on stage to give a concert at
Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City．
If you have ever been to a Perlman concert，you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him．He was stricken with polio（小儿麻痹症）as a child，and so he has braces （支架）on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches（双拐）．
He walks painfully，yet majestically，until he reaches his chair．Then he sits down，slowly，puts his crutches on the floor，undoes the clasps on his legs，tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward．Then he bends down and picks up the violin，puts it under his chin，nods tot he conductor and proceeds to play．
But this time，something went wrong．Just as he finished the first few bars（小节），one of the strings on his violin broke．You could hear it snap（嘣断）——it went off like gunfire across the room．There was no mistaking what that meant．There was no mistaking what he had to do．
We figured that he would have to get up，put on the clasps again，pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage——to either find another violin or else find another string for this one．But he didn’t．Instead，he waited a moment，closed his eyes and then signaled the conduct or to begin again．
The orchestra began，and he played from where he had left off．And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before．
When he finished，there was an awesome silence in 1he room．And then people rose and cheered．He smiled，wiped the sweat from this brow，raised his bow to quiet us，and then he said in a quiet tone，“You know，sometimes is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left．”

查看习题详情和答案>>Water skiing is a sport with many social, economic and health benefits to society. It is unique in that it is a sport where able and disabled persons, and people as young as 5 years and as old as 80 years of age can participate alongside each other. It is a sport that involves more than one person, and is a wonderful family activity that gathers members together for a day of fun at a favorite waterway.
Anyone who has put on water skis can attest to its health benefits ― it is a sport that demands and develops strength, ability and endurance. The sport includes several disciplines(训练) including slalom, tricks, cable, jump, ski racing, knee-board, wake-board, and barefoot, with each of these practiced for either recreational or competitive enjoyment.
Safety Tips For Water-Skiers
Don' t take unnecessary risks while water-skiing. The following tips will help you safely enjoy this thrilling sport:
ALWAYS have an observer in the boat. This is a legal requirement in many states. The boat driver cannot watch the skier and operate the boat safely at the same time.
ALWAYS wear a Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) designed for water skiing. Ski belts are NOT recommended. Your approved PFD will help keep you a float.
Never ski in rough water. High waves or a choppy sea will prevent the tow boat from maintaining a steady course and speed.
NEVER ski after dark. It is dangerous and illegal. Any boat traveling fast enough to tow a skier is traveling too fast to navigate safely at night.
NEVER water-ski while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Such activity is extremely dangerous because of the impairment to your judgment and ability to respond. A recent study conducted with expert skiers who were purposely drunk indicated that even their ability to ski was dramatically reduced.
Use hand signals between the skier and observer. Agree before you start what each signal means so there is no confusion at a critical moment.
