"Please don't touch, Midori," her mother scolded. The violin was, after all, worth more than $20,000.
But Midori insisted, and she longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Midori was handed a package: a tiny violin, about half the normal size.
Almost from the moment Midori was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years mother and daughter practised together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overcome.
One day Johnston, an American musician, heard Midori playing the violin. He couldn't believe she was just eight years old. "She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States." the musician said.
A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty in believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing. He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship. In 1982, Midori and her mother moved to New York City, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.

听力原文：W: Good evening and welcome to tonight's program. Our guest is the world-famous Dr. Charles Adams. who has sparked a great deal of attention over the past several years for his research in the area of language learning. Welcome to our program.
M: Ah. it's a pleasure to be here.
W: Now. Dr. Adams. tell us about your research.
M: Well. one of the most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program, tike planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time.
W: Now. sorry for saying this, but your ideas may sound a little simplistic m our viewers. I mean I took Spanish in high school for four years, and I didn't become a proficient speaker of the language.
M: Well. I think there are many people feeling that way, and that's just it. I'm not implying that we can become fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there, but rather following a regular, consistent, and focused course of study can help us on the way to the promised land of language mastery, and remember there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language, and I am proposing the latter.
W: So what ere, some of the basic keys you are suggesting？
M: Well. as I just mentioned, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. I mean. some people get caught up in the craze of learning the language in 30 days, only to become disenchanted when they don't perform. up to their expectations. And small steps, little by little, are the key. For example, planning to learn five new vocabulary words a day and to learn to use them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.
W: Um-hum. I'm sure your ideas are beneficial to those language learners. Thanks for joining us.
M: My pleasure.

听力原文： For many international students, coming to the United States and living end studying there can be quite a daunting experience, especially when they have to find housing on campus or off campus. Fortunately, there are a variety of options that students can look to.
For first-time students, coming end living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security and convenience, since commuting without a car can be quite an experience, especially when they have to commute long distances. Often in dormitories, meals might be provided, end this can allow students to devote time to their academics, rather than housekeeping, But students should also be aware that they'll be required to abide by certain regulations dealing with student conduct as part of the contract of living on campus.
Another option is off-campus living in apartments, and like living in dormitories, living in an apartment requires little or no maintenance because usually it is handled by someone else. Also, when students live off campus, there might be a certain amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that students might not have while living on campus. But students should be aware that tenants may be responsible for furnishing their own apartments.
Well, of course, the choice is up to you, but be careful to review both the advantages and disadvantages of living on campus and off campus. Good luck.
