7、e, and the next year I began studying under Natalie Ghent, who was my teacher until I left high school.Once, Mrs. Ghent held a concert for her students. I played near the end of it. After I played a while, I forgot the music. No matter how I tried, I couldnt think of it. So I had to stop and looked
8、at the pianists music. When the whole concert was over, I cried hiding in my overcoat.Mrs. Ghent came to comfort me. Then she told us about a coming concert, and she hoped I would go there with her. I remember that the concert was on my birthday in March. It was great, as Mischa Elman was going to p

10、ng was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years, and have been struck by his performance, but I dont remember the music he played that night.

Afraid ofCI have been to many places, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often
15、confused in Japan because most streets there dont have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across
16、 from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa,
17、 for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure distance in time, not miles. “How far is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You
18、 say, “Yes, but how many miles is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know”. People in Yucatan believe that “I d

New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.DHeres something to think about next time you ask your teache
22、r for help: trying hard to do schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you try while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.This might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students lots of
23、help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Dont be too quick to get help when learning something new,” education expert Manu Kapur said. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”Kapur came up with the idea that trying hard can lead to be
24、tter learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He divided students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve maths problems with the teachers help. In the second group, students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another, instead of getting h
25、elp from the teacher.With the teachers help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly. But they did come up with a lot of good ideas.The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without a
26、ny help from the teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process, not just the solution.Kapurs advice for kids is to put a lot of efforts into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. “Sim
27、ply doing a little work or nothing at all wont work,” says Kapur. “Try to solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”13. Manu Kapur holds the view that _.A. students should try to solve problems by themselvesB. its necessary for students to ask for teachers helpC. students with teachers help have
28、more good ideasD. students in the first group are clever than those in the second group14. The author develops the text mainly by _.A. comparing different opinionsB. presenting research findingsC. showing scientific informationD. setting down general rules15. What is the best title for the text?A. T
29、eachers role in schoolworkB. Practice makes perfectC. A surprising experimentD.
