5 . Entering the main office of the Anderson Center, it's not uncommon to hear music, since the property has long served as an artists’ community.

But recently, the sounds ringing through the building began to sound unlike others. The music was from the center's art gallery, where Jarrelle Barton practices his guzheng.

Although the ancient Chinese instrument is popular worldwide, guzheng players are rare in Minnesota, and Barton is the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program, “He was chosen because of his technical capabilities, as well as his potential,” said Stephanie Rogers, the center's director.

Most kids of Barton's age are more likely to take up the piano or guitar. But as his grandmother described him, Baton is a “special person”—a little quiet, but with very deep feelings. When he first saw a picture of a guzheng, he tried to make his own out of a wooden tea tray and guitar strings. But the instrument he made was very different from a guzheng. It was light, and it didn't sound great.

Barton begged his grandmother to buy him a guzheng. She agreed, but added that he had to really practice and become a good guzheng player.

Acquiring the instrument proved less complicated than learning to play it. Barton couldn't find any textbooks in English, and the online courses he found were in Chinese too. So, he started teaching himself Mandarin (普通话). At the same time, he accustomed his body to “feeling” guzheng music.

Barton recently uploaded his videos to the social media platform Sina Weibo. They soon went viral, with viewers making comments such as “Great!” or “This foreigner can play our music.”

Music goes beyond nationality. You can learn an instrument regardless of what language you speak. You can learn any instrument you'd like and create music to share with people.

1. Why was Barton the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program?

2. How did Barton feel when he first saw a picture of a guzheng?

A．Puzzled.	B．Excited.
C．Disappointed.	D．Anxious.

3. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Music is the best way to communicate.

B．Music can be spread far and wide.

C．Music is a universal language.

D．Music can go further.

4. What is the purpose of the text?

A．To promote a music program.

B．To advertise the Anderson Center.

C．To persuade foreigner to play guzheng.

D．To introduce the great power of music.

9 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

In Canada, high school grades     1     (use) as the main standards for admission(准许进入) to college or university. However, a research     2     (do) by scientists and sociologists shows that although high school grades alone are a moderate predictor (合理的预测) of post-secondary success, nearly 75% of student success is decided by other factors (因素). These factors are often described     3     21st‑century skills and they form a long list in the research.

The important things that contribute to     4     (successful) finishing post-secondary education at the individual student level are motivation (动力), good study habits, and stress management. Others include problem-solving, communication, creativity and self-direction.

While a good mix(结合，融合) of all the above factors     5     (seem) to be the best predictor of student success,     6     is likely that strengths in one area can make up for deficits ( 不足) in other areas. For example, a student     7     has lower grades in high school can be good in university if he has clear goals about     8     (he) future.

Although high school grades will be used to decide if a student is admitted into an academic(学业的，学术的) program, the student's ability     9     (deal) with the academic, social, and financial challenge of the post-secondary world will decide their success. Good high school grades do not guarantee (确保) post-secondary success; secondary schools and parents can be key players in     10     (help) to support the development of well‑rounded, independent‑thinking students who will be able to succeed at the post-secondary level.
