Jenny wasn’t interested in playing the piano. She liked writing stories and acting them out with her friends. But Mrs. Windsor gave her piano lessons for free, so she felt she should have a try. Every Sunday she had her piano lessons in Mrs. Windsor’s house.

One Sunday morning, Jenny walked into Mrs. Windsor’s music room and sat down on the piano bench(長(zhǎng)凳) as usual.

“Hello,” Jenny heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw a young girl.

“What’s your name?” The girl asked.

Before Jenny could answer, Mrs. Windsor walked in and said, “Jenny, this is my niece(侄女), Pasha. Pasha, this is Jenny. I need to go to hospital, so Pasha will give you your lesson today.”

Pasha sat beside Jenny on the piano bench and asked, “What piece do you like best?”

“I don’t know.” Jenny said. “They’re all the same to me.”

“You mean you don’t have a favorite?” Pasha was surprised.

“No, not really.” Jenny said.

Pasha opened Jenny’s music book and asked Jenny to play.

After about a page or two, Pasha gently(輕輕地) put her hand on top of Jenny’s. Jenny stopped. Then Pasha said, “Jenny, what are you hearing in the music?” Jenny looked at Pasha strangely.

“I don’t know.” Jenny said.

“Let me try and you listen,” Pasha said. “All you have to do is learn to hear the stories in the music.”

“I’ve never thought of it that way.” Jenny said.

“Let’s try together, shall we?” Pasha smiled. Together they played that afternoon and tried to find the story in the music. That day Jenny found playing the piano was not that difficult.

閱讀表達(dá)。閱讀下面的短文,根據(jù)內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題。

My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come back help to harvest(收割) rice every year.

One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999, to harvest his rice. After Father harvested our own, his little rice picker broke. What’s worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital. It meant that Father wouldn’t be back in a few days. It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn’t let the neighbor’s rice rot( 糜爛) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine. “If tonight’s weather is clear, I think I can do it.” added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner, Father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing (發(fā)光) in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image(畫面):Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of rice stocks(秸稈) stood at attention, showing respect for a man who kept his word.

1.Where did Father use to work ? (No more than 5 words)

2.What happened to the neighbor in 1999? (No more than 8 words)
