One day my mother came to pick me up from Betty’s house． “Watch this!” I told her． Then I ran to play a song I had learned that morning． I was so proud of what I’d learned． “That’s nice, Jenny,” she said． “But we can’t afford a piano．”
When I turned six, my mother bought me a recorder（直笛）． The problem was that I didn’t love the recorder． When I played the recorder, I didn’t feel anything special inside． I asked my mother if we could have a piano． “We still can’t afford one,” she said． “One day, I promise．”
In the sixth grade, my mother traded in the recorder for a real clarinet（黑管）． I like the clarinet more, but it still wasn’t a piano． It wasn’t the music that was inside of me．
One day, when I was in the seventh grade, my mother cut an ad out of the newspaper． We drove to a stranger’s home in Providence, Rhode Island． The woman had a beautiful, dark wood piano from Russia． It was called an upright piano because it was tall． It was so shiny that it looked like it was wet． “We’ll take it,” my mother said． “It has a nice sound．”

Do you struggle with music? Have you been given an instrument to play, but you just can’t play it?

Jenny looked at the store window. There was nothing that she wanted more than a Happy Hannah doll. It was $29.95. Unluckily, Jenny didn’t even have the 95 cents.
As she crossed the street, she thought about doing her brother's housework, cleaning the floor, washing the dishes all month, but even then she would have only eleven dollars. Suddenly, something small and pink in the snow caught her eyes.

I'll always remember the day I went to my first dance class. My mother was an excellent ballet(芭蕾)dancer and I wanted nothing more than to follow her.
After class, my mom asked how I liked it. I thought of what had happened in the class: when I stood side by side with those experienced and confident girls, all my clumsy(笨拙的)movements made me want to cry. However, I still told my mom I couldn't wait to dance again.
Weeks passed and one day my dance teacher announced we were going to have a performance soon. Though I practiced as much as I could, I still saw no improvement in my ballet ability. I went to my mom and told her that dancing wasn't for me. My mom told me that she would show me all she knew about ballet. She quickly discovered how bad my dancing was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience.
By the time the performance arrived, I had been as prepared as I could be. My mom sat in the audience(观众),with worries in her eyes. I positioned myself and began moving to the music without missing a step. When the music stopped, a storm of applause broke out. I cried and I knew all my hard work had paid off.
After the performance, my mom hugged me and told me how proud she was. I looked her in the eye and told her there was no way this could have happened without her. I knew she would always be there to keep me going.
1.What was the writer's mother?
_______________________________________________________________________________
2.How did the writer feel after the performance ended?

3.Will you keep on learning something like the writer when you find you are not good at it?
