In the past, going to a piano teacher was the only way to learn how to play the piano. You could have one lesson a week. If you didn’t have private(个人的) lessons, you could still learn piano, but you would have to learn it by yourself. This was easy for some, but very difficult for most. However, with technology as it is today, there is at last another way that you can take piano lessons. You can take an online course.

An online course can save you lots of money. If a private lesson costs 30 or 40 dollars per week, just think about how quickly that adds up. You can take a complete online course in piano by spending a small part of the money that you would pay for taking weeks of private lessons. Also, private lessons are only usually one hour per week. If you have questions during the rest of the week, or if you forget something that your teacher said, you will have to wait for your next lesson to continue your learning. However, online piano courses are quite different.

With an online piano course, you can work at your own pace(进度). You can also take as many lessons per week as you’d want, or go back and listen to your last lesson if you have forgotten anything. Most adults who want to learn how to play the piano enjoy being able to go back and listen to lessons they watched before. It can give you a good idea of what you were doing right, what you were doing wrong, and what you should be doing before the next lesson.

Of course, if you need someone to sit beside you and give you instant feedback(及时反馈) while you are playing, you are not suggested to choose an online course. But most adult learners think they can get their own type of feedback by watching the course again and again.

1.　　　　 is not mentioned in the passage to learn to play the piano.

A.Going to a piano teacher　　　　　 B. Asking experts for information　　 C. Teaching oneself

2.Going to a piano teacher is much more　　　　　 than having an online piano course.

A. expensive　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. convenient　　　　　　　　　　　　 C. interesting

In the past, words were the only way for people to express their thoughts, ideas and feelings. They wrote diaries, then blogs. Now people have a new way to write their diaries: Podcasts(播客).

To make Podcasts, people can use pictures, sounds, and videos together with their words to express what they want to say. Some people don’t writing anything. They use pictures, sounds and movies instead of words.

Someone says that a Podcast is like a personal TV station. People don’t have to spend money putting them on the Internet, so it is easy for people to make them and watch them. Podcasts are more interesting than blogs, and people can have more fun making and watching them too.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way was to work in the local paper factory in my town. I was very nervous，and then I told my father I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, ＂No! You are going to college.＂ I was very surprised when he said, ＂OK. Let’s go to the paper factory.＂

Two days later, he took me to the factory. I imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music there.

When we arrived at the factory gate, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside. I walked around the factory looking at the building and the workers, listening to the noise. It was terrible. I ran back to my father and said, ＂I want to go home.＂ He asked me, ＂What do you think of the factory？＂ ＂Too bad, ＂ I answered.

I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so I could get into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so that I decided to major in(主修) languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the paper factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. My life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!
