One night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No answer.
I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”
Again, no answer.
So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of （一摞）cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”
An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest. Tommy thinks I’m silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.”
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”
There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”
I wrote back “For what?” it returned to me with “Loving me” on it.
Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset, we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”
【小题1】The underlined word “yucky” most probably means ____.
A．upsetB．excitingC．terribleD．amazing
【小题2】What could be the reason that Kevin’s Dad doesn’t like him?
A．Kevin is not as clever as his brother.
B．He is neither the youngest nor the oldest.
C．Kevin doesn’t like to make friends with others.
D．Kevin is not good at playing basketball.
【小题3】What do we know about the writer?
A．She has two children in her family.
B．She didn’t pay enough attention to Kevin before.
C．She used to show her love to Kevin.
D．She has a closer relationship with Tommy after that.
【小题4】What does the writer want to tell us?
A．Everyone should show how they love their family members.
B．It’s hard to get on well with family members.
C．It’s important to keep peace in the family.
D．We should try our best to stop our children from fighting.

You can easily find that your sister or brother is different from you. You live together in the same house and have the same parents, but you have different personalities(性格).

Why? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you.

Firstborn children receive all the attention from their parents. Generally speaking, a firstborn has twice as many photos as any other child has. Parents usually give firstborns more responsibilities (责任)and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, firstborns are often responsible, hard-working, and serious. They often want to do well at school and in work. More firstborns became American Presidents, for example George W.Bush, George Washington and Lyndon Baines Johnson, than second or last-borns.

When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete (竞争)with the first-born for parents’ attention and love. These children often choose different sports and hobbies to develop different personalities. They are often outgoing, but can be jealous and get angry easily.

The youngest child is usually the happiest, and has fewer responsibilities and more freedom(自由的). These children do well at school and in work, but have to be creative（创造性的） to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last.

A. 友好的             B. 嫉妒的            C. 快乐的

On December 23, 2008, Niu Niu held a piano concert at the national Grand Theater (国家大剧院). As an eleven-year-old boy, he became the youngest pianist ever to perform a concert at the theater.

Never too young to learn

Niu Niu was born into a musical family in Xiamen. His father Zhang was a piano teacher. Niu Niu grew up listening to his father’s students playing the piano. At just three years old, Niu Niu asked his father to teach him to play, too.

“I gave Niu Niu some sheet music and helped him find the eight notes when he first played the piano. To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct,” said the father. He used to think that three years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind. He continued to allow Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.

Playing for fun

Zhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four. Unlike many other piano teachers, Zhang didn’t insist that Niu Niu play strictly with the correct finger positioning (位置). He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can remember about 80 pages.

Rising to fame

In 2003, at the age of 6, Niu Niu successfully held a sole concert in his hometown Xiamen. At the age of 8, he gave a performance at the International Piano Festival in France. At the age of 10, Niu Niu played in London and his performance was praised by Prince Charles. Last year, this young pianist published his first album “Niu Niu Plays Mozart” and over 10,000 copies have been sold in the world.

We are very glad to see a young Chinese pianist rising in the music world.

1.How old was Niu Niu when he performed a concert at the National Grand Theater?

2.What was Niu Niu’s father?

3.What did Niu Niu’s father feel when Niu Niu played nearly 80 percent of the sheet music correct?

4.What did Niu Niu’s father say about the strict finger positioning?

5.What do you think of Zhang’s way of teaching his son Niu Niu? （请自拟一句话作答）
