23、On my eighth birthday, Dad bought me an accordion(手风琴) and said excitedly, "Once you learn to play, it'll stay with you for life." But I didn't want to play it. I just wanted to play games, But Dad asked me to take accordion lessons.
One day, I found a box in a corner. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful violin. "It was your father's," Mum said. "His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to learn to play it."
I had to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. But Dad didn't allow. I asked why. He answered, "Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts." He added softly, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had: you'll play beautiful music for your family. And you'll understand why you've worked so hard." I was speechless.
The lessons stopped after I finished high school. When I grew up, I got married and moved into a new house. I put the accordion in the attic(阁楼).
One afternoon, my two children found the accordion by accident (偶然). They got very excited. "Play it. Play it," they laughed and said. I started to play some simple songs. I was surprised I could still remember them. Soon the kids were dancing. Even my wife was laughing and clapping to the beat.
At that moment, my father's words came back to me, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had. And you'll understand." I finally knew why Dad had asked me to practice hard. Dad never learnt to play his violin. But I told my family, "This is my father's music."
【1】My father didn't learn to play his violin when he was young because _____.
A. he didn't like to play the violin

24、缺词填空
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses w【1】large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their s【2】time.
In fact, happiness is always a【3】 you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always t【4】 good care of your life and your health; when you get s【5】, your friends will say congratulations to (祝贺) you; when you do something w【6】, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel h【7】, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the s【8】as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you m【9】 with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to changes(向……挑战) yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also o【10】. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
