When little Midori was two years old, she often Climbed onto the piano bench and reached for the violin that belonged to  her mother, a 38-year-old professional musician.
   "Please don’t touch my violin, Midori," her mother scolded.  The violin was, after all, worth more than $ 20 000. A professional musician never owns inexpensive musical instruments.
   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. That was Midori’s first violin.
   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. She loved music from the bottom of her heart. Failure often led to tears ,though she never once turned from the instrument. She just could not stop her love for music. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overcome.
   One day Johnson, an American musician, heard Midori playing the violin. He couldn’t believe she was just eight years old.  "She must make a tape and I 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.  He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship. In 1982 ,Midori and her mother moved to Neat York city, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.

选项 A、To live a more comfortable life.
B、To give performances.
C、To be a pupil of a famous violinist.
D、To enter a famous university.

答案 C

解析 Why did Midofi move to the United States?
四个选项都是不定式,由此可以推断,本题的内容是关于某个决定或者目的的。
文中关键句为“He immediately accepted her as a pupil and...leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.”一位小提琴大师听到了Midofi的磁带,决定收她为徒,并且提供全额奖学金。于是Midofi和妈妈放弃了日本舒适的生活,前往美国。由此可知,Midofi去美国是为了跟随著名小提琴大师学习。故正确答案为C)。
