I took down the violin I made in the past two months, and walked towards the farmland outside. The violin shined in the sunlight, and I admitted, unwillingly, that it looked good. But I knew it was a mockery (笑柄) of my failure to find beauty.

“What makes a violin beautiful?”

I first asked this question as a three-year-old child and now again as a teenager. When I listened to a violin for the first time, I was so astonished by its beauty that I imagined a fairy living in the wooden frame. But fairies faded when I grew older. I wanted a reasonable answer to the question.

I referred to Professor Ruan, my violin teacher, who introduced the violin to me 14 years ago. This 85-year-old man rhapsodized about (热烈赞美)the legend of Antonio Stradivari. “His violins are the most beautiful works human has ever crafted.” “Make a violin with your own hands,” Professor Ruan suggested,“When you play it, you’ll know.”

However, when Professor Ruan introduced to me a violin workshop, what I saw was far from my expectation. In front of me was a fat worker, shirtless and sunburned, soon to become my master. What shocked me most was that the “master” knew nearly nothing about music. His rough hands had been tending crops, not instruments, for most of his life.

Two months later, standing outside the workshop, I was disappointed. Yes, I just finished or copied a Stradivarius violin. But I didn't find beauty in it. Then I remembered Professor Ruan's words, “When you play it, you'll know.” So I closed my eyes, and focused on where my fingers and strings touched. Music flowed suddenly so beautifully that for a moment I doubted my own ears. Slowly I opened my eyes, and with surprise found the fairy of my childhood fantasy dancing to my music --- the two-year-old daughter of the master.

Professor Ruan was right. I didn’t find beauty until I played music with the violin, because beauty isn’t in the instrument itself. It’s just here, deep down, in ourselves.

In the past years a lot of people migrated from one country to another in Europe. They had to leave their countries with their traditions, their cultures and sometimes also their families. People migrate because they think that they will have a better life, they will find a job and they will make a lot of money for their families to survive. Sometimes it's true, and they find a job, they make a lot of money and then they go back to their families to help them. But sometimes they are not that lucky.

The problem that those people create is that a lot of people from Europe are unemployed and they don't have jobs because immigrants have taken so many jobs. But the question is also: Would European people want a job such as cleaning or hard labor? I think that most of them wouldn't. So we should stop criticizing for a moment and think. We would then maybe realize that it's not that bad to have immigrants at home.

The only problem is that it's not right that immigrants want to impose( 强加于 )their religion on other countries by leading and building mosques ( 清真寺). Because if they had done that in other countries they would have caused trouble. Phenomena like these happened a few years ago in Great Britain: It was forbidden to switch on Christmas lights outside, because Christmas is a Catholic ( 天主教的 ) recurrence and it was offensive for the Islamic people who lived there. That is not right. The country that gives hospitality to immigrants has the task to allow them to enter society, to be free to believe in their religion and their culture, but every country does not have to forget its tradition and culture. This is one of the many facts which happened in the past years, and I think that many others are going to happen because this phenomenon is developing every day more and more.

1.The first paragraph is mainly about__________.

A. what a life Europeans lived

B. why some Europeans migrated

C. how Europeans migrated

D. what migration caused

2.What's the main problem between the immigrants and the native people according to the passage?

A. Native people and immigrants fight for the same job opportunities.

B. Native people always leave the worst jobs to the immigrants.

C. Different religions and cultures often result in some conflicts.

D. Native people refuse the immigrants to enter their country.

3.What does the author think of the European immigrants?

A. It takes them too much trouble to migrate.

B. They have made contributions to the host country.

C. They are offered hard jobs but paid less.

D. They should be accepted in the host country.

4.We may learn from the passage that__________.

A. some people reject foreigners' immigrating to their own country

B. the author thinks immigrating can help mix different cultures together

C. immigrants to Great Britain were all Islamic people

D. immigrants can only find hard and dirty jobs in other countries

5.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.

A. people with different religions won' t be allowed to migrate to another country

B. immigrants are not free to believe in their own culture

C. no other European countries but Great Britain have conflicts

D. problems caused by different religions and cultures will exist long
