【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章通过爷爷的故事告诉我们为啥他的父母反对他从事音乐工作，到后来真正的做了自己喜欢做的事。
（1）推理判断题 My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students, he didn't earn（挣钱） enough to provide for his large family. 可知，作者引用他爷爷的例子是来告诉我们从事音乐工作挣不到钱，不能够养家，从而说明他的父母不同意他从事音乐事业。故答案是C。
（2）推理判断题，根据 That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. 作者经商的目的是为了帮助家人，但是对于他而言，他认为是浪费时间，因此可以推测他是痛苦的。故答案是D。 （3
）信息匹配题，根据 The family got out of the trouble 可知，他的家人已经走出了困境。一开始我们就知道作者经商的目的是为了帮助家人，既然家人已经走出了困境，那么他的帮
助也不再必要了。故答案是B。
（4）推理判断题，根据 I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it. 可知，作者向往自由，而I walked on air直译为在空中行走，没有牵挂，没有认可阻拦，因此这一句话的目的是他已经感受到了自由，这样就可以做自己喜欢做的事。故答案是C。
【点评】考查阅读理解，本题主要涉及到了推理判断题，推理判断题相对来说是一种比较难以掌握的题型，除了要充分理解，还必须要进行合理的推理论证在能够得到正确答案，而信息匹配题则需要先理解选项的意思，然后根据空缺处前后句的逻辑关系去取舍，最终确定答案。

What's the most important thing for you in your life? Some say hard-work and others say knowledge, love and luck.
There are 26 English letters. If you arrange them alphabetically （按字母表的顺序）and use numbers to represent （代表）each of them, for example，1 for a，2 for b, 3 for c，…you can
change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, and meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give us a foil mark.
What about money? It can't either. Money is only 72. Then what else? Don't worry. You can always find an answer to a problem, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude （态度）. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+ 9+20+21+4+5=100, a foil mark. Different attitudes lead to different kinds of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It's possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed his / her attitude. When you change yourself and become friendly to others, you'll meet more smiling faces to you.

That year, I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal （正常的） life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths.
To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress. I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the talbe. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun.
After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.
As year went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke（中风）.
Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—just as she had worked with my years before. She make progress every day and was moved out of ICU（重症监护室） and finally out of hospital. One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you've done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you've done for me.”
Mrs. Pillar was one of my Junior 2 teachers, but she taught me so much more about life than only maths.
（1）Which of the following is the correct order of what happened in the story? a. Mrs. Pillar suffered a stroke and was in hospital. b. I fell off the stairs and had to leave school. c. I returned to school with Mrs. Pillar's help. d. Mrs. Pillar got better with my help.
