On Nov.18,1995,Itzhak Perlman,the violinist,came on stage to give a concert.If you have ever been to a Perlman concert,you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him.He was stricken with polio(小儿庥痹症)as a child,and so he walks with the aid of two crutches(拐杖) The audience sat quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair and begins his play But this time,something went wrong.Just as he finished the first few bars,one of the strings on his violin broke.We thought that he would have to stop the concert.But he didn't.Instead,he waited a moment,closed his eyes and then signalled the conductor to begin again. Of course,anyone knows that it is impossible to play a pleasant work with just three strings.I know that,and you know that,but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. When he finished,there was a breathtaking silence in the room.And then people rose and cheered.There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium(礼堂). He smiled,wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said-not proudly,but in a quiet,holy attitude-"You know,sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left." This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it.And who knows?Perhaps that is the meaning of life-not just for artists but for all of us. So,perhaps our task in this fast-changing,puzzling world in which we live is to make music,at first with all that we have,and then,when that is no longer possible,to make music with what we have left. 28.What made Itzhak Perlman's performance at the concert special on Now.18,1995? A.He was scheduled for an operation.B.He was late for the stage C.He had a quarrel with the audience.D.His string of violin got broken 29.Why didn't Itzhak Perlman accept the fact on the stage? A.Because he was a person of self-pride. B.Because he thought the audience didn't see that. C.Because he decided to succeed with fewest conditions. D.Because he didn't see the string get broken at all 30.Why did the audience give heated claps to Itzhak Perlman? A.Because they were moved by his disease. B.Because they were moved by his spirit. C.Because they were laughing at his action D.Because they were encouraging him to cheer up. 31.What is the best title for the passage? A.When you lose the most important thing B.How can you give it up easily C.Playing a violin with three strings
