Ⅳ 閱讀理解。

On the day of Rashards seventh birthday， his father took him to a music store. His father told

him he could pick out any instrument （樂器） he wanted， and he should promise to learn to play it.

▲He was far more interested in playing video games with his friends. It was hard for him

to pick one.

Rashard walked around the music store. He saw some pianos first. Though his family wasnt

poor， Rashard knew it was not rich. A piano was too expensive to be his gift.

Next， he found some brass （銅管） instruments. Rashard was not interested in any of them，

because he did not want to put his mouth on anything.

He moved on to the next room. There were many guitars. The seller took one of the guitars

down and let Rashard have a try. Rashard didnt know how to play it， and his hands were too small

to hold it.

Rashard moved into another room. There， he picked up a violin， and he realized it was the

perfect size for his small hands！

Rashard kept his promise to his dad. He learned to play the violin， and he now continues to

play it as an adult. Though Rashard has since bought nicer violins， he always remembers the first

one. That gift changed his life. As his father put it， “The gift of music is better than any video game

you wanted when you were seven.”
