He was born in 2001 and started to learn the piano at the age of 4 and it has been his favorite hobby since then. Before that, he often heard his elder sister playing the violin and he loved the classical music she played. “I wanted to beat her in something and I chose the piano,” Yun said. At 4, several minutes of practice a day was enough. As Yun grew up, at the age of 7 and 8, he had to practice for four hours a day. The time kept going up after Yan was 12. Now, he needs to practice at least seven hours every day. He sleeps for only five to six hours a day, but he is still full of energy. Yun never got tired of the piano. In fact, he had great fun playing it. “Music is my special luck, and it is a real enjoyment to be with it every day,” he said. Yun worked hard and soon he stood out. From 2013 to now, Yun appeared at different music festivals, concerts and competitions and gave excellent shows. Yun said successes or failure were not important and they would not affect his understanding of music or his plan for the future. “If you lose, think carefully about it, and if you win, just work harder,” the young pianist said. “I still need to practice more to become better, to bring out the real beauty of classical music through the piano. It may take a lifetime. ”26．Yun Siqi began to learn the piano ________.A．in 2003 B．in 2005 C．in 2007 D．in 200927．Yun Siqi chose the piano because ________.A．he was not able to play the violin B．it was easy to learn to play the pianoC．he wanted to be better than his sister in something D．his sister refused to teach him to play the violin28．What does the word “affect” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?A．允许 B．维持 C．放弃 D．影响29．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Yun played the piano really well.B．Yun didn’t think he needed more practice.C．Yun thought one should work harder if he lost.D．Yun doesn’t have enough sleep and he is unhealthy.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To show the life of a young pianist. B．To talk about the importance of music.C．To ask people to learn things at a young age. D．To tell people the way to learn to play the piano.BSometimes talent runs in families.

When I was a child, this was the only show I could watch. I watched it on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday every week. You can learn about different countries around the world from it. As the show is for children, the language in it is easy. This show is about making bread, cakes and so on. The show wants to find Britain’s best amateur baker（业余烘焙师）. You can watch the show and learn how to bake different kinds of bread and cakes by following their steps. This show is about life in cold places. There are many special animals in this show. I love this show not because of the cute animals, but because it teaches us about the impact（影响）we have on these animals and what we need to do to save them. This show is great for you to think.
