However, several weeks before the recital of my students, Robby came,telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part.

I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart's. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart's played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering. I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. "I've never heard you play like that, Robby! How'd you do it?" "Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick?

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Once I had an unforgettable experience which has changed and directed the way I think and act even nowadays. When I was about seven years old, my grandfather took me to a fish pond on a farm and told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone. "You may create lots of circles in your life, but the waves that come from those circles will disturb the peace of all your fellow people," he said thoughtfully. "Remember that your circle may touch many other circles, meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others' lives. You are responsible for what you put in your circle. You will need to live in a way that allows the good or peace that comes from your circle to be sent to others. At the same time, the anger or jealousy coming from your circle may also spread to other circles. You are responsible for both." For the first time in my life, I realized that each person's inner peace or discord can flow out into the world. If we are filled with inner conflict , doubt or anger, we cannot create world peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever circles are inside us, they are spreading into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life. Question: What does the author want to say by telling us his unforgettable experience? Options: A: We only have to be responsible for our own feelings B: What we think and do can affect others' lives. C: We'd better not keep in touch with other people. D: It's not easy to keep a good relationship with other people.
