As a music teacher，I have always known that music touches the soul. It can 36 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way.It can be the 37 for each child to find their light.I would like to 38 a story about it.
For a few years I was 39 with the opportunity to teach disabled students.One of my most 40 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa，who had difficulty walking，and could not speak.We 41 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 42 on my lap．One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit.It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students 43 twice while singing the repeating phrase，“Oh，yes！” Vanessa liked to 44 her hands together with mine and clap with me.We probably performed that song during every class，Vanessa and I clapping together.But she 45 said or sang a word.
One day，when the song was finished，Vanessa turned around， 46 me in the eyes，clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words“Oh，yes！” I opened my mouth in 47 and for that moment I was the one who could not speak.When my heart 48 started beating again，I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 49 .Through music，we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later，I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big 50 on her face and then clapped her hands twice，imitating the song we had 51 so many times in our music class.The little girl， 52 her connection with music，left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 53 to learn and grow. It is up to us to 54 the way to reach each and every one of our students.We all must find each child"s 55 .

I still remember --- my hands and my fingers still remember --- what used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. The trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.
“Get that all swept up!” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned up, at once!” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “Now see that it’s done properly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or you’ll have to answer for it!”
So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meal. And if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped so much not to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.
Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very small --- nothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I don’t know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beating were completely foreign to our nature.
小题1:The statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (Para.1) means that___________.| A．the author’s hands were severely injured in the cleaning up | | B．the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning up | | C．the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning up | | D．the author’s hands were his only tool for the cleaning |
小题2:The headmaster asked the older boys to_____________.| A．beat those who worked slowly | | B．treat the small boys as peanuts | | C．take charge of the process of the cleaning | | D．do the cleaning all by themselves |
小题3:According to Para. 3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably_________.| A．gave it to the big boys so as to please them | | B．gave it as a bride to the headmaster | | C．spent it all on his midday meal | | D．spent it buying midday meals for the big boys |
小题4:When receiving complaints, the headmaster would deal with the big boys by means of _________.| A．slight punishment | B．strict criticism | | C．complete indifference | D．good beating |

One Sunday, a picture in the newspaper touched me. A young woman stood in front of a totally destroyed home. A little boy stood beside her with his head 36 . Holding her skirt tightly was a tiny girl, eyes wide with 37 and fear.
With growing 38 I noticed that their sizes of each family member closely 39 ours. This would be a good opportunity to 40 my children, so I explained their difficult 41 to my seven-year-old twins and three-year-old Meghan.
“We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing,” I said, “we’ll 42 what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously 43 the boys and I filled one box with canned food.
While I 44__ our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 45 some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched 46 as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.
“I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.
The boys placed the toys they had 47 to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll 48 tightly to her chest. She 49 in front of the box, pressed her little face into Lucy’s face, gave her a 50 kiss, then, laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said. “You 51 to give away Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded, eyes shining with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. 52 she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
I stared at Meghan for a long moment, 53 how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but 54 to let go of things we cherish, isn’t it? 55 , the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.
