Joshua, my son, is fifteen years old. He was born with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合症). In the last fifteen years. I have experienced many difficult and     stories. However, right now I want to just stick to the topic of    . When Joshua was born, the doctor     us not to “waste our time, energy or money". They claimed that our son would never accomplish anything. They told us he would never walk, talk or learn to use the toilet.      , we were not about to accept the words. However, we weren’t really sure what to expect.
Therefore, we expected him to develop at his own pace, with a lot of help and encouragement, but only to develop little. We decided that     we saw progress we could never give up. Very early on, we knew in our hearts that we had to have high expectations, but how high? We could not set goals for him that he could not ever possibly reach.      , if we did not have high hopes, the chances would be very slim for him to work to his potential.
When Joshua was four and a half years old, his younger sister, CJ, was three and attended the same preschool in a younger class. The school     an art contest and all the children in it presented pictures. The pictures were hung on the wall and the president of the local church, who was not personally     with the children, was appointed to be the    .
On the day of the contest, I made my     through the crowded parents to see Cf’s picture,       it was likely to be hung there, but Joshua"s class pictures were not yet up and I didn’t think twice about seeing his picture     leaving the building. You see, I had no expectation that Joshua would win; it was     for me to know that he was able to draw a picture and have it      with those of the other children.
Well, when I returned to     the kids, you can image my     when I discovered that Joshua was the winner from his class! Proud and excited, he told everyone, “I won the contest! I     it! ”
CJ kept insisting that she had won too and it was certainly a    feeling to know that Joshua had achieved something that his  sister had not. After that I decided to keep my expectations    . It seems that most people work to whatever expectations are set for them. Why should Joshua be any    ?

Some people succeed in unbelievable ways.
Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing his favorite songs on the piano.
Three years later, Roussel’s grandfather died, and his aunt adopted him. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take regular piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his life -- the sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (海军学员), but still made time to study music.
In the French Navy, while he served on a warship based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the music of Beethoven and other composes (作曲家). Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first performance as a composer.
That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow offices offered to show it to a well-known conductor (指挥家), Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
Not long afterwards, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied characters that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Eduoard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Roussel devote his life to music, Roussel"s navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussel"s manuscript to the conductor.
小题1:Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a. Roussel gave up his naval career.
b. Roussel was adopted by his aunt.
c. Roussel read through the family music collection.
d. Roussel had his first performance as a composer in Cherbourg.
A．c, b, d, a B．b. c, d, aC．b, c, a. dD．c, b, a, d
小题2:What ______ did played the most important part in Roussel"s final success.
A．his mother B．the husband of his aunt
C．his navy friendD．Edouard Colonne
小题3:We can infer from the article that______.
A．Roussel"s aunt adopted him after his grandfather died.
B．Roussel read through the family music collection in his grandfather"s.
C．Colonne advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
D．If Roussel hadn"t joined the navy, he might not have achieved so much.
小题4:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．A clever musicianB．A white lie
C．A helpful conductorD．A great manuscript
