My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I knew it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma.
I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German poser Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow(琴弓) moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and, interest in violin--I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined(用松香擦) the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I'm deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I'm walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn[ˈsɒləm] tunes (庄严的曲调) calm me down. Gradually, it has bee a part of my life.
My violin, shall I pare you to a summer's day?
28. What further led to the author's dislike of violin-playing?
A. Orders from mum.
B. Boredom of practice.
C. Disappointment in the teacher's eyes.
D. Loss of passion for violin.
29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. The author's feeling was continuously influenced by the music.
B. The weather actually changed because of the tune.
C. The sudden change made the author's heart unable to beat.
D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.
30. Why did the author pick up the violin again?
A. The invisible hammer and claw are gone.
B. The beautiful imagination changed his attitude.
C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.
D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn's works.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Musical soul mate--violin
B. My dislike and like of violin
C. An inspiring story of violin
D. Deep love for music

One day Mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. However, little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose pleasant smell filled the car. Suddenly, Mom pulled over靠边停车. She hopped out of the car, catching the flowers from the back seat. “I will be back soon”she said.
Impatiently, I caught sight of a little sign showing that it was a nursing home敬老院. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there?”She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers?”She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist接待员in the nursing home.”“What?”She laughed ,“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them.”
I kept silent for a moment. Then I asked her, “Did you leave your name?”To this she answered right away, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Lost in thought, I heard something burst loudly. Something was wrong with our car. It broke down!
Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I knew how to repair it, and we didn't know where the garage修车厂was.
Not knowing what to do, Mom and I decided to walk back to the nursing home and seek help. When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed us what small actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them. While we were laughing and talking happily, we received the news that the garage had repaired our car.
As we drove along the road, I saw a flower shop ahead._________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________

One possible version:
My Amazing Experience On The Lantern Festival On the 15th day of the first month of the lunar year, my parents and I celebrated the Lantern Festival in our hometown, which is certainly unforgettable.
In the day, we got up early and started making some preparations. My mother invited me to make yuanxiao together. Looking at the beautiful balls of sticky rice flour in the plate, I felt a sense of achievement.
In the evening, after a big dinner, we headed for the lantern fair. I was attracted by the various shapes and colors of the lantern on the street. I had a good time guessing riddles and watching the firework display.
The Lantern Festival is worth experiencing!
