Chris Haas, a 9-year-old kid, noticed many of his classmates holding basketballs incorrectly and, as a result, not shooting (投篮) very well during a school basketball practice. He was the son of a basketball coach and knew a thing or two on the right way to shoot. After trying to show his classmates the right way to hold a ball, he came up with his invention: the hands-on basketball.

The hands-on basketball is a basketball training tool for kids. It has hands painted on it, showing the correct positions (位置) to hold the ball while trying to shoot. However, when he first took his invention to a kids' invention competition at his school that year, he didn't win. But with his teachers' and family's encouragement, he went on to patent (取得专利) his idea and he made it. Then he went to several sport companies and asked whether they would be interested in making and selling his invention. None of them was. Chris didn't give up and a year and a half later, luckily, his invention won the attention of a sport company. And it was soon on sale in the market. After that he won lots of prizes. The hands-on basketball is now sold successfully around the world.

But being a famous person was just one of the new challenges (挑战) Chris had to face after he sold his invention. Chris promoted (宣传) his invention by travelling around and making appearances in cities, like New York, Las Vegas. He also had to decide how to use his money wisely. Each year, he gives away much money to children. These days, Chris is an active basketball player and the writer of the book — Shooting for Your Dreams.

( )51. Chris got the idea of the hands-on basketball _____.

Music is certainly something I use. It can be as simple as listening to a piece of soft music like Für Elise to quietly fall asleep after a long and tiring day at work.

I also listen to certain electronic music when I have a headache. It really carries my mind (头脑) and helps relieve pain, as if it were a kind of magic medicine. I even listen to the music from “Requiem for a Dream”. It gives me the feeling of fear (害怕) every time I listen to it. My sister has asked me very strictly never to play the music while she's in the house.

As you see, I like different kinds of music. I really love listening to Bhimsen Joshi (an Indian singer) when I'm in my home town for the weekend. It makes me

think of the times when my dad and I sat together and listened to old classical songs in the past. I love listening to the flute (长笛) especially and I am a huge fan of jugalbandi (a show in Indian classical music).

My point so far is that music can influence everything you do. You might start to remember something related to (与……有关) music. When this happens, your love for music gets stronger. You might start to feel free and stop consciously (有意识地) sensing the lyrics (歌词). When this happens, you start to let music guide your feelings. For me, I especially love this situation of listening to music. I can't seem to remember exactly what I was doing or thinking when I was listening to music. When it ends, it is as if I woke from a dream.

You should really be open to all kinds of music and be able to enjoy each kind. You should try to let music carry you and let it do its wonders. ( )56. Für Elise helps the writer to _____.
