READING (passage)
A When Philip was seven years old, he started to attend a school of music in his
neighbourhood. He liked all his studies but he particularly enjoyed learning to play
the violin. In a short time he excelled in playing the violin. Philip also loved to play
baseball. And that was why he got into trouble when he was eleven years old.
B Every year an evening concert was given by the music school. This year Philip had
been chosen to play a violin solo. For several months, he had been directing a small
band so the thought of playing in the concert did not make him the least bit nervous.
C On the very day of the concert, Philip pitched a game of baseball. By the evening, he
was dead tired. Dirt was streaked across his moist forehead. His clothes were dusty
and wrinkled. Philips had to hurry to get to the concert on time. He did not find a
clean white shirt at home. So, he ran over to the school and told his music teacher,
Professor Esputa his story about the shirt. He told Philip to get a clean shirt from his
wife.
D Mrs. Esputa quickly gave one of her husband’s white shirts to Philip. But it was so
large that Philip was almost lost in it. Mrs. Esputa quickly pinned enough tucks in
the shirt to make it fit Philip. Then, free from anxiety, Philip hurried back to the
school.
