    I had been playing hockey (冰球)for about 10 years, I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and 26 got into a game.I went to all the 27   and showed up even when itwas so 28 that your ‘breath froze’ and whenplayers    had decided to stay home. I feltI had   29   enough and thought of quitting”
    I finally decided to  30 the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on  31 my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise  32 , so think about yourself in a  33 way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,  34 my shot accuracy and changing my  35 .
    Once in a match, we  36 our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my  37 place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going  38 . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
    The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little  39 .  But my mom’s words   40 out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my  41 work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the   42  to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had 43 me for this moment.
    Won! I won!
    The lesson I learned from my mom’s  44 has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I  45 myself.

    A well-dressed man came to a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter. Since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.
    A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, because she wanted a pair of earrings made, “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl? ” said the man.

    As a solo artist，Brightman has sold 26 million albums and two million DVDs in 34 countries. Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here（Britain）—the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber（he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen.
    The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the normal and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”
    Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted （father a property developer who later committed suicide）, she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.
    Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞）Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.
    Brightman says she felt hostility（敌意） “from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the UK, where I now live. I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”
    小题1:The first paragraph tells us that ______.
    A．Brightman is very popular around the world except in America
    B．Brightman’s musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazz
    C．the British people don’t like her for her style of music
    D．Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber
    小题2:Brightman decided to give up having children because ______.
    A．she could adopt one
    B．her life and career were unbelievably rich without children
    C．she felt it normal not to have children
    D．she was too busy
    小题3:The following statements are true except ______.
    A．Brightman first appeared in a West End musical at 5
    B．Brightman disliked life on campus
    C．Brightman was very gifted when she was young
    D．the saucy dance troupe made Brightman famous
    小题4: The underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.
    A．located B．admiredC．followedD．found
    小题5:What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman’s words?
    A．Brightman has to accept the fact that she isn’t liked in Britain
    B．Brightman lives in America but she loves her own country
    C．The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homeland
    D．Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain

    In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small notepad (记事本)　and a hole for a pencil.
    I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely  the original one.
    “I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”
    My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly  well. I’ve  always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days.”
    Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
    This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have travelled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.
