16、hen the wet air came with slight waves of heat, I became a thief of some sorta thief of musicFor the first time, I had created an original piano arrangement of one of my favorite songs. Not once had I looked for the help of premade sheet music or video courses on YouTube. Using only my ears and iPod
17、, I had changed a mix of different sounds and complex melodies into the tones of a single instrument; I had created complex harmonies and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide: I had done it on my own.Ive been a pianist since before my hands were big enough to
18、reach an octave(八度音节): with a musician and composer for a father, I was all but born on the piano bench. For many years, my musical identity was defined by the notes that others had written in centuries past.This was why, when I added the finishing touches to my piano version(版本) of a modern rock so
19、ng, I was proud of myself: this arrangement was mine. What Id done seemed magical: an ability to take what had already existedto “steal” a song from my favorite bandand to change it into something different and all my own. I was a thief, but I was also an artist.In music, as in other aspects of life
20、, I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has, in one form or another, been done before. The most romance novel may very well be a slightly changed version of a play by Shakespeare, which is likely to be borrowed from the works of Ancient Greece: same themes, different chara
21、cters, different circumstances. But, the novel is no less deserving of praise just because its uniqueness is compromised. Adaptation is not a synonym for failure.The gift of creativity is the ability to do what I did on the piano: to find something beautiful, to analyze and twist it and lose yoursel
22、f in the mystery of its composition, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding inspiration and having the strength and the innovation(创新) to use it as fuel for your own masterpiece. The world is nothing more than collections of preexisting partsscattered and often lost in th
23、e chaos of everyday life. I believe it is my job, as an artist, to rearrange this world into what I envision it to be.I refuse to live as if I were trapped within the walls of a museum: looking but never touching, afraid to ruin the so-called perfection of the artifacts inside. Therefore, I will emb
24、race my ability to be a thief, because if I dont steal what the world has to offer, Ill never have the tools to share with others a creation of my own.My life is my own arrangement, and because of that, anything is possible.24. According to the passage, which statement is true?A. Actually, there was
25、 originality only in musicB. He was born on the piano benchC. The author created the original piano arrangement all by himselfD.

But
29、he was never in a hurry, never in a rush to do anything, really, but his best. All that mattered, he said, was not the place of a job, but how well and how diligently he performed it.

30、ats where I met David, at the games. I was 21. He was 16. Its not like you could miss him, really.David was a special education student at Monterey High, a big lumbering(步态笨拙的)bear (急性子)who loved basketball with all his being, but lacked the coordination(协调)to play.

31、and continuing some 40 years, he showed up at every game as “team manager,” taking care of the balls and towels, slapping players on the backs if they did well, and giving sadness, like it or not, if they missed shots or made the team look bad. He took special umbrage at lazy defense. “Youve got to
32、box out(卡位)! Even I can do that! Want me to teach you?” He said. They would pretend to ignore him, but win or lose, theyd at least try a little harder to box out.More than anything-maybe even more than basketball David loved hugs. Im not sure David ever knew my name. He called me “Mrs. Coach.” At ev
33、ery game, home or away, hed found me in the stands(看台)and come over to get a hug. When David hugged you, you knew youd been hugged.Later, in the years the coach was battling cancer, David never said much, just did his job as always, diligently and well. He hated sweeping the gym floor. Sweeping was
34、a janitors (清洁工) job, not the team managers, he said. But if he caught the coach sweeping, as he sometimes did, hed sweep the gym without a word.The morning or the coachs memorial service, someone took photos of preparations in the gym. Chairs were set up to seat the crowd. A thousand paper cranes(鹤
35、)folded by his students flew in a “V” from the goal. And there was David, sweeping the floor.That was long ago. I had not seen David in years. I heard hed retired as team manager. I had remarried, moved away, was back in town for a visit, when I ran into him at Toasties, my favorite breakfast place.
36、He was sitting at the counter, older, grayer, big as ever, with hid sweet wife, Stephanie. “David,” I said, tapping his shoulder, “remember me?” He rose from the counter and slowly gave me a big bear hug. “Mrs. Coach,” he said, lifting me off my feet, “Mrs. Coach.”When David hugs you, you still know

48、 is the purpose of reading or studying? If you cant remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 36 One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you, Im just looking.“?
