It can break through all kinds of barriers(障碍) to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection.Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking(模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each childs light.64.The author thinks music_.A. can make children calm downB. can connect heart to heartC. is difficult for pre-school studentsD. is a good means to find a job65.

When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh, yes!”, the author felt_.A. surprisedB. happyC. frightenedD. satisfied67. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.B. Vanessa became as healthy as other children.C. The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.D. Being a good educator became Vanessas dream.DThis year Im buying presents for 16 children, as well as my own daughter, Mia-Grace, who will be two on Christmas Day.

One of my friends husband has just gone self-employed and if he doesnt work, they have no money coming in.Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of 150 because thats just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neils salary for our essential bills.We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have loads of decorations, we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas were not going to. Weve already got our tree a big artificial one which I bought half-price in the January sales.
