Unit 1 How can we become good learners?

Darrius was born with three fingers on his right hand and one on his left hand. He had to work hard to do things that were easy

for others. Every time his classmates tried to help, he would say, “Thanks, but I can do it myself.” He learned to use the four fingers

to do different things.

When Darrius was 10, he told his father that he liked piano(钢琴) music very much. “It's too bad you can't play,” his father said.

But the boy took that as a challenge(挑战).“I will show people that I can,” he said to himself.

Months later, a neighbour gave him an old piano when she moved away. He taught himself to play the piano and practised for

hours a day.

Darrius's favourite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius a year to learn it. “I have

to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers,” he said. When he succeeded, he felt so proud. Later he was lucky enough to play

the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall! Yiruma encouraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music.

Darrius has made it. And his music is popular today.

“I may have a disability,” he says, “ but I don’t let it hold me back from anything.”

"Are you listening, Simon?" Simon's teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question.

Simon shook his head, smiling. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much fun. He wanted to be heard rather

than listen.

"Listen, and you'll learn something." Mrs. Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.

That evening, his throat really hurt. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say "Good morning", nothing came out but

a croak.

Simon's mother looked at him. "Honey, you've lost your voice."

"Can I stay home?" He tried to ask, but words didn't come out. Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was

good for him to go to school, even if he couldn't talk.

When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said "Hello" to him, and he just nodded. When his friends asked him what TV shows he

watched last night, he just shrugged. By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he'd grown a third

eye.

Penny raised her hand. "Mrs. Jacobs, why isn't Simon talking?"

"He never stops talking." Richard said worriedly.

Everyone started talking at once. They were excited, worried, and surprised.

Simon sat in class bored. He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn't there, but he couldn't even do that. In math

class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn't fun. He decided to try to pay attention.

He could do his homework that night. It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.

The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened

and raised his hand to speak.

What a difference that one day made!
