When Midori was two years old, she often climbed onto the piano bench and reached fro the violin that belonged to her mother, a 38 year old professional musician.
"Please don’t touch, Midori," her mother scolded. The violin was, after all, worth more than $20,000.
But Midori persisted; she longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Midori was handed a package: a tiny violin, about half the normal size.
Almost from the moment Midori was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years mother and daughter practiced together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overcome.
One day Johnston, an American musician, heard Midori playing the violin. He couldn’t believe she was eight years old.[27]"She must make a tape and 1 will take it to the United States, " the musician said.
A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing.[28]He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship. In 1982, Midori and her mother moved to New York City, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.
26. Why was Midori not allowed to touch her mother’s violin when she was two years old?
27. What did Johnston ask Midori to do according to the passage?
28. Why did Midori move to the United States with her mother?
选项
A、She was to give concerts in New York.
B、Her mother was offered a better job in New York.
C、A famous American violin teacher accepted her as his student.
D、She got the admission from a famous university in New York.
答案
C
解析
推断题。短文结尾提到,一位美国著名的教授小提琴的老师听到Midori的演奏后也感到很震惊(astonishing),并决定接收她为他的学生(accepted),因此Midori跟着母亲搬到了纽约,由此可知答案为[C]。
