Once there was a piano player in a bar(酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.

"I don't sing," said the man.

But the lady told the waiter, "I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!

The waiter shouted across the room, "Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!'

So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!

He had talent(天賦) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.

You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.

試題分析：本文講述了一個在酒吧彈鋼琴的人，偶然地發現了自己有唱歌的天賦，最后成了一個著名的歌手。這個故事告訴我們，我們身上也許會有我們不知道的天賦，所以我們要努力找到它，并且努力工作，讓你的這個天賦得以提高。

1.細節理解題。根據短文的開頭中But the lady told the waiter, "I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!可知，人們來到酒吧是為了聽那個人彈鋼琴。但是一個女士非要讓他唱歌，她是厭倦了聽鋼琴，想要改變一下。故選C。

2.推理判斷題。根據短文中But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US.可知，Nat King Cole 原本是在一個酒吧里彈鋼琴的，但是在一個女士的要求下，他開始了唱歌。沒想到，他唱歌唱得很好，最后成為了美國著名的歌手。由此可見他的成功是因為他抓住了這個機會。故選B。

3.詞義猜測題。根據文意和劃線短語所在的句子Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.可知，Nat King Cole 沒想到自己有唱歌上的天賦，他以為他的天賦就是彈鋼琴。因此如果我們只依賴自己的天賦，那么就不會有成功。sit on 依賴。故選A。

4.推理判斷題。根據短文中You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved.可知，如果你有某一方面的天賦，那么你應該努力的工作，讓你的天賦得到提高。故選B。
