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 l 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（天生的）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 l 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 l made him perform last in the program, so l 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 l 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 l 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．

       A．He thought that his teacher disliked him．

       B．His mother might have been seriously ill．

       C．His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer．

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

2．We can learn from the text that            ．

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

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

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

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

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

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

       B．the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked him

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

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

4．The author made Robby perform last because           ．

       A．she wanted to do something to save a poor performance
