From my second grade on,there was one event I feared every year:the piano recital(獨奏會).A recital____I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers.Each year I___ ask my father if I could skip the recital “just this once”.And each year he’d shake his head,muttering(嘀咕) about building self-confidence and working towards a .
So it was with really great that I stood in church one recent Sunday,video camera in hand,and my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt rising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since childhood,but his family was poor and couldn’t lessons.He could have gone on regretting it, too many of us do.But though he was rooted in his past,he wasn’t there.When he retired three years ago,he his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard,he stared down at his fingers.
Has he forgotten the ? I worried,remembering those split seconds ago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would .But then came the beautiful melody(旋律),from the fingers that once baited(裝餌于)my fishing lines.And I he had been doing what music teachers always stress: the music and pretend the others aren’t there.
“I'm of him for starting something new at his age,”I said to my son Jeff.
“Yeah,and doing it so ,”Jeff added.
With his first recital,my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled(貼標(biāo)簽)everything.I always looked for everything.Over time,Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over,and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.So we both got tired of each other.

One’s style of the dress reveals the human obsession with both novelty and tradition. People use clothing to declare their membership in a particular social group; however, the rules for what is acceptable dress for that group may change. In affluent societies, this changing of the rules is the driving force behind fashions. By keeping up with fashions, that is, by changing their clothing style frequently but meanwhile, members of a group both satisfy their desire for novelty and obey the rules, thus demonstrating their membership in the group.
There are some interesting variations (變種) regarding individual status. Some people, particularly in the West, consider themselves of such high status that they do not need to display it with their clothing. For example, many wealthy people in the entertainment industry appear in very casual clothes, such as the worn jeans and work boots of a manual laborer. However, it is likely that a subtle but important signal, such as an expensive wristwatch, will prevail over the message of the casual dress. Such an inverted (顛倒的)status display is most likely to occur where the person’s high status is conveyed in ways other than with clothing, such as having a famous face.
1.According to the author, fashions serve all the following purposes EXCEPT
A. satisfying an interest in novelty
B. signaling a change in personal beliefs
C. displaying membership in a social group
D. following traditional rules
2.Why does the author discuss individual status in paragraph 2?
A. To state that individual’s status is not important in the West
B. To argue that individuals need not obey every fashion rule
C. To contrast the status of entertainers with that of manual laborers
D. To explain how high status may involve an inverted status display
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word?
A. newness B. convention C. nobleness D. benzene
