品味复原美文——熟读语感出For a long time Gabriel didn't want to be involved in music at all. In his first years of high school, Gabriel would look pityingly at the music students, struggling across the campus with their heavy instrument cases, turning up at school for practice hours before anyone else had to be there. He swore to himself to avoid music, as he hated getting to school extra early.However, one day, in the music class that was part of his school's standard curriculum, he was playing idly (随意地) on the piano and found it easy to pick out tunes. With a sinking feeling, he realized that he actually enjoyed doing it. He tried to hide his obvious pleasure from the music teacher, who had wandered over to listen. He might not have done this particularly well, because the teacher told Gabriel that he had a good ear and suggested that Gabriel go into the music store-room to see if any of the instruments there appealed to him. There he decided to give the cello (大提琴) a chance. When he began practicing, he took it very casually. But he quickly found that he loved playing this instrument, and was committed to practicing it so that within a couple of months he was playing reasonably well.This meant, of course, that he arrived at school early in the morning, dragging his heavy instrument case across the campus to the pitying looks of the non-musicians he had left behind.复现表达词汇——写作词汇储备1．struggle vi.&n. 斗争；拼搏；努力；挣扎＆n. 奋斗→struggle against/with 同…斗争struggle for为…而奋斗struggle to do sth. 努力做某事struggle to one's feet 挣扎着站起来[佳句背诵](2010·湖南高考单选改编)Dina, having struggled for months to find a job as a waitress, finally took a position at a local advertising agency.
