skill fun practice for terrible because they film know difficult
Alec plays the violin and Stella plays the flute (长笛) in the school band. The school has two bands which are 1. known as the training band and the concert band. Everyone begins in the training band.
“At the very beginning, I played it 2. terribly,” said Stella. “My family asked me to practice in the back yard 3. because they didn’t like the noise.” Alec and Stella have been playing their instruments 4. for a year, so they play much better now. They are both in the concert band and they are learning more 5. difficult music than before. “We’re learning the music from some 6. films,” said Alec. “It is really great to play in the band with other kids.”
As well as being 7. fun, many scientists say that learning a musical instrument is good for kids’ brain. It helps children improve their reading and math 8. skills. It helps them learn to concentrate (集中注意力). Alec thinks that learning the violin has helped him at school. “I have to concentrate and think about nothing when I’m 9. practicing,” he said. “And now it’s easier for me to concentrate on my schoolwork.”
Learning music can also help children become more sure of 10. themselves. As Stella said, “The first time I stood in front of the audience, I was scared. But now I really enjoy it.”

答案： 1. known 2. terribly 3. because 4. for 5. difficult 6. films 7. fun 8. skills 9. practicing 10. themselves
