George, you the piano. Julian well, Julian is too young yet. But you older boys must have lessons,” Father told me and my two brothers. At the age of ten, I just felt that the days were just too short for our games after school; and now, sadly, there was a big part to lose three days every week. A big part every day, we found afterwards, because we had to practise. George had all the luck; he had some ear for music. At least a piano had some good points. But I had to go through a much blacker experience. The violin itself was a strange and weak thing. My middle-aged teacher looked a little serious, but he was said to be an excellent and professional violinist. He first greeted me as a possible genius (天才). Then, I still remember, I made the first strange cry out of my new violin. My teacher looked as if he was suddenly attacked from behind. He held his breath. His lips were drawn back from his teeth, and his eyes tightly shut. He snatched (抢夺) the violin from me, examined it carefully and raised his own bow (琴弓) and played it the sound was nice. Then he handed it back to me for a second try. He waited, nervously. This time there were two terrible cries. One came from my new violin and the other from my teacher. He first looked around, helpless, and then tried to smile bravely at me. His lips seemed to try to push some words out but failed. I looked at him sadly, and for a time I was afraid he would become mad. 11. What did the writer think of his father’s order? A. A good chance to learn a new skill. B. A loss of playtime after school.
