Diego was looking at the old guitar on the wall of his house. The guitar had an old story. Diego's grandfather, Miguel, played it everywhere he went. His playing was so good that people came to listen whenever he played it.
Diego knew this story well. He wanted to be like his grandfather. So, he started to learn to play the guitar when he was little. After he grew up, he had his own band. So, his grandfather gave him the guitar as a gift.
Diego's grandfather saw how some singers broke their guitars during big rock shows. He didn't like this. He thought people should take care of their guitars.
"Make sure you'll never do this to our guitar," he said to Diego.
"Of course," said Diego.
Diego was now a big rock star. Once he brought this guitar on the stage and played amazing songs with it. All his family were watching and felt very happy. At the end of the show, Diego got so excited that he lifted the guitar in the air. When everyone thought that he was going to break it, he slowly took a bow(鞠躬).
He always remembered what his grandfather told him, "If you really love rock, love your guitar. It is your friend, not just a thing." Diego kept his word. He showed his love for rock music.
1. Who gave the guitar to Diego?

2. What did Diego do at the end of the show?

3. To show your love for something, what will you do? Why?

长难句解析
阅读理解A
[原句] "Unlike some pits like olive pits which have flat surfaces, each peach pit has its own special texture like human fingerprints," Tan says ...(第四段第二句)
[翻译] 谈(万海)说:"与诸如橄榄核之类的一些表面平坦的核不同,每个桃核都有自己独特的质地,就像人类的指纹一样。"……
[分析] 双引号内的句子是主从复合句。介词短语"Unlike some pits ... surfaces"用作状语,其中which have flat surfaces为定语从句,修饰pits。
阅读理解B
[原句] A different classroom can seem scary at first, but if you watch, listen, and try your best, I know you're going to do just fine.(倒数第三段第二句)
[翻译] 一开始,不同的教室可能看起来很可怕,但如果你观察、倾听并尽你最大的努力,我知道你会做得很好。
[分析] but连接转折关系的两个分句,第一个分句是简单句,第二个分句是主从复合句。第二个分句中I know是主句,you're going to do just fine是宾语从句; "if you watch, listen, and try your best"是条件状语从句。
