1．Elena Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college，never minding that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave （八度音階）.Unable to fully play many works by Romantic-era composers including Beethoven and Brahms，she tried anyway— and in her determination to spend hours practicing a Chopin concerto，wound up injuring herself.
The efforts of Professor Carol Leone from the Southern Methodist University （SMU） are changing all that：twenty years ago，the school became the first major university in the U.S.jye.ai introduce smaller keyboards into its music program，leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.
Yi，21，tried one of the smaller keyboards， "I remember being really excited，because my hands could actually reach and play all the right notes，" she said.
For decades，few questioned the size of the traditional piano.For those with small hand spans （掌距），it's difficult to properly play many works of Beethoven and Brahms.Those who attempt to play them either get used to skipping notes or risk injury with repeated play.Leone is familiar with such challenges.Born into a family of musicians，she favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span，and earned a degree as a doctor in musical arts.
The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance from some traditionalists.Leone also said that when she raised the issue with one Viennese professor，he told her there were already too many pianists anyway.
Though such resistance is fading，there are some very traditional people who think of piano as a competitive thing.Leone said， "This is art，not sport.It's about making as much beautiful art as possible，and we should give everybody the opportunity to do that."
（1）Why did Elena Yi find it hard to play a Chopin concerto so well？
A．Her fingers got injured.
B．It was time-consuming.

2．Wang Jiapeng，41，is an inspirational figure who keeps encouraging people to be the architect of their own life.
In 1993，as a result of an air crash，he was paralyzed from the waist down and he had to undergo five years of rehabilitation（康復(fù)）.But Wang never ceased exploring the possibilities of his body.
The winter of 1998 saw the 17-year-old regain something that he thought he had lost forever——the exhilaration of skiing on a snow-covered slope，about two kilometers long with a drop of hundreds of meters.
After two weeks of intense training，in March 1999，Wang participated in the Ridderrennet，or the Knight's Race ——an annual cross-country ski race for the visually and physically challenged——held in Norway.He won two gold medals.
Dreaming of going back to school，Wang taught himself at the rehabilitation center，despite his demanding physical schedule.To improve his memory，which was also damaged by a brain injury caused by the accident，he recited English words repeatedly until he could remember them by heart.With extraordinary perseverance and solid faith in himself，he passed the exam and went to Norway to attend UWC Red Cross Nordic，a life-changing experience as he put it，before completing his undergraduate and postgraduate studies in economics at the University of Oslo.
There，he developed another dream，that of setting up a UWC school on the Chinese mainland to introduce an inclusive，intercultural learning environment and promote mutual understanding between youngsters from various cultures.
So far，the school has welcomed more than 1，700 students and graduates from 124 countries and regions.It had provided a total scholarship of 280 million yuan（﹩44 million） for around 700 students by 2021，including those with physical challenges or from disadvantaged backgrounds.
"Love and education are two powerful forces in this world.To me，they can remove the physical and psychological barriers in life，" Wang says.
（1）What does the underlined word "exhilaration" in paragraph 3 mean？
A．Excitement.
B．Fear.
C．Satisfaction.
D．Boredom.
（2）What happened when Wang Jiapeng was 12 years old？
A．He began to practice skiing again.
B．He completed postgraduate studies.
C．He participated in the Ridderrennet.
D．He met with an air crash.
（3）What can we know about the UWC school Wang Jiapeng set up？
A．It was set up when he was at university.
B．It promotes understanding between youth from Norway.
C．It attracts students from almost all around the world.
D．It only welcomes those with physical challenges.
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
