读图方法：从实心圆点开始，顺着曲线念，一直到该曲线终结为止。观察带有文字的图大约三到五遍，即可利用不带文字的思维导图进行复述甚至背诵。

特别提示：用图忆背课文，可分为四个步骤：识图、复述、忆图和背诵课文。

课文原文：
We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord. It was made in Germany in 1681. Our clavichord is kept in the living room. It has belonged to our family for a long time. The instrument was bought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked. Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of my father's.
