Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。

In the Middle Eastern country of Syria (敘利亞), there are over 4 million refugees (難民). Youssef was 10 years old when a local Syrian musician discovered his talent: a deep, powerful voice. However, Syria’s civil (內(nèi)部的) war took place. He and his family lost their home.

When the Action for Hope Music School announced that it was looking for talented children to train, his family encouraged him to attend the school. A year and half later, the now 14-year-old, Youssef, with another 11 children, was chosen to take part in a concert.

Youssef, a shy boy, was a lead singer in the concert. He gave a confident performance of traditional Syrian songs. “We only heard the sound of a mortar ( 迫 擊 炮 ). It fell near us. Many buildings fell down. That is all I remember,” said Youssef. “Music makes me forget everything. Music is the most important thing.”

Basma, director of Action for Hope, said the music school offers strength to the children who suffer (遭受) from the war. They can find a good way to express themselves and stop thinking of themselves as refugees.

“Art gives strength. It comes from the ability to create,” Basma said. “People who are in difficult conditions need this strength much more than the rich.”
