took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear,
because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned to（结果是）be OK.
Then the professor asked about the cure (药剂) for illness, and the student, too, answered just
as right.
“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon”, answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake!
A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”

I began studying violin when I was nine, and the next year I began studying with Natalie Ghent, who was my teacher until I left high school. As I learned I never went to anh big concerts.
Once, Mrs, Ghent held a recital(音乐演奏会)for her students. I played near the end of the recital. When I stood up to play, I was nervous. I went along for a while, but then I forgot the music. I had to stop and looked at the music(乐谱). When the whole thing was finished I cried hiding in my overcoat.
Ms. Ghent came to comfort me. Then she told me that Mischa Elman, a very famous violinist, was going to perform at Carnegie Hall in our city. She hoped I would go there with her. It was great, for the concert was on my birthday in March. My teacher just bought the best ticket as my birthday present.
Carnegie Hall was quite beautiful with all the lights on. I had never been in a concert hall before, and was impressed by the size as well. I don’t remember what Elman played. I only remember that his playing was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years, and have been struck by his small size, and particularly by how long his bow seems. But I remember one of that. What I remember most is Mrs. Ghent whispering to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note, or made some other kind of mistake. That was the point of the lesson, or course: everybody makes mistakes but the best players keep going.
I’m a violin teacher now, and I always tell my students who are timid, afraid of making mistakes, that if they are going to make a mistake, they should make it beautifully and with a full tone. I guess I learned that lesson well.
56. From the passage we can learn that the author ______________.
A. began studying with Mrs. Ghent at the age of ten;
B. never went to any recital before the concert;
C. made a fool of himself at his first recital;
D. cried sadly during his performance
57. Mrs. Ghent took the author to Elman’s concert because she wanted to ______________.
A. make him happy
B. let him know how well Elman played
C. teach him a lesson
D. make his birthday very special
58. What impressed the author most in Mischa Elman’s concert is ____________.
A. Elman’s films
B. what Elman played
C. what Mrs. Ghent said
D. Elman’s posture while playing
59. What does the underlined word timid in the last paragraph probably mean ?
A. Naughty.
B. Having no courage.
C. Careless.
D. Having no interest.
