Margaret Porter is a violinist and music teacher. According to her, the best age to start learning the violin is between three and six. She says, “It's the time when you are learning about the world.” Margaret, who lives in London, likes to take pupils at three and four. However, she has made lots of exceptions (例外) for five-year-olds. She started teaching the violin in 1972 and she taught her children's five-year-old school friends at first.

Margaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about twelve pupils and each lesson takes an hour, once half a month. Each pupil also has one individual (一个人的) lesson a week with her. Parents have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.

In Margaret's opinion, it's important for one to know why music sounds the way it does. Without knowing it, one can't become a great musician at all. So from the earliest lessons, pupils in her class learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music (读懂乐谱) until they have been playing for several years. Margaret says that her method (方法) is not meant to produce great violinists. She always suggests that pupils who perform very well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.

C. They will become music teachers like her.

D. They will become great violinists using her method.

(   ) 9. What will Margaret probably say when she introduces her classes to parents?

A. There are group violin lessons for your children — no more than 5 in each group.

B. Learn to play the violin with your children — 2 lessons a week.

Soela Zani is a photographer from Albania. In 1988, a quiet boy lived next door to her. Born with Down's syndrome (唐氏综合征), the boy never spoke and seldom went outside because his parents felt shame to be seen with him.

“It was sad to see that,” Zani said. “Now, people know differently. Children with Down's syndrome are lovely. We need to accept them as they are and give them a chance to succeed in life.”

Zani wanted to do something for those lovely children, so she opened an exhibition (展览) last year at Albania's National Historical Museum. Photos of children with Down's syndrome were shown in the exhibition. In the photos, the children are copying poses (姿势) from famous paintings.

“When we opened the exhibition, the visitors enjoyed all the pictures. Many even started to cry in front of them. I was very touched,” Zani said. “These children are beautiful. They are pieces of art. This is my message.”

In some parts of Albania, having a child with Down's syndrome is still thought to be unlucky or shameful. But Zani has found the beauty of the children, inside and out. “There is no difference between a child with Down's syndrome and a child without it. They are the same,” Zani said. “This exhibition is a present from me to them.” Zani plans to take more photos of children with Down's syndrome and raise money for them this year.

My name is Li Hua. I like movies very much. I think a good movie can teach us about life, or explain what the meaning of life is, what real friendship is and so on. Zootopia is one of my favorite movies. It is a cartoon movie. The story is about a rabbit that joins the police force and solves a difficult case with a fox. I like the movie because it teaches me to stick to my dream and then to achieve it. “If you don't try anything new, you'll never fail.” These words from the movie influenced me a lot. What's more, the theme song of the movie Try Everything is a great song. I like listening to it.
