很多人都喜歡學習一種樂器，但究竟學什么呢？這篇短文利用問題的形式給了我們一些建議，幫助我們在這個問題上做決定。

【1】根據(jù)下文Some instruments May lead themselves better than others to the music you like ,so consider this before you start .可知，一些樂器可能會引導你去聽你喜歡的音樂，所以在開始之前要先考慮你喜歡什么類型的音樂，故應選E。

【2】根據(jù)這一段中If you want to play with other people ,what sort of instrument would be most practical ?可知，這里提到了如果你想和其他人一起演奏音樂，那么什么樂器最實用。由此可知這個問題應該是“你想和人們一起演奏嗎？”，故選F。

【3】根據(jù)這一段中Think about where and when you are going to practice可知，這里提到的是在哪里練習的問題，故應選B。

【4】根據(jù)這一段的內容Many instruments can he bought at different prices可知，這里提到了樂器的價格問題，故這個問題應該是C，意為“你能花費多少錢？”

【5】根據(jù)文意和下面這一段的內容可知，從上文作者提出的四個問題中，你可能已經(jīng)有了答案。但如果仍然不確定的話，這一段中作者又補充了幾點建議，故應選A。
