When Winsion Chruchill was a young man, his father concluded that Churchill was “unfit for a career in law or politics” because he did so badly in school.
When Charles Darwin was getting ready to 36 on his five-year expedition on The Beagle, his father was extremely 37 . he thought his son was falling into a life of sin and idleness.
Gorge Washington’s mother was a complaining, 38 woman by all accounts. She thought little of Washington’s achievements and didn’t 39 at either of his presidential inaugurations（就職典禮）. She was always 40 that her children overlooked her and she was especially angry when her son George ran off to 41 the army for the American Revolution. She 42 believed it was his duty to stay home and take care of her.
In his youth, the 43 Leonard Bernstein, one of the most talented and successful composers in American history, was continually pressured by his father to 44 his music and do something worthwhile, like help out in his family’s beauty-supply business. After Leonard became 45 , his father was asked about that, and he answered, “Well, how was I supposed to know he was the Leonard Bernstein?”
People may criticize you or make fun of your ideas or actively try to 46 you. Often their efforts are only attempts to protect you from 47 . But obviously failure is only a possibility if you stop. If you keep 48 , a “failure” is just another learning 49 . Besides, giving up on a heartfelt goal is worse than failing. “Many people die”, said Wendell Holmes, “with their 50 still in them.” That’s true tragedy.
So listen 51 to the worries and criticisms of your friends and family, and do your best to put their minds 52 , but then carry on. Listen last to your own heart. You 53 yourself better than anyone on earth. Make sure your song is 54 .
Listen to your own heart. Don’t let your music 55 with you.

Learning Chinese has been like climbing a steep(陡峭的)mountain.
My mother was born in Tokyo,while my father moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong when he was seven years old. At home we speak English. I know some basic Chinese customs :to use chosticks gracefully (得體地)and what to say on Spring Festival to get a red envelope. But I never truly learned to speak Chinese.
Why should I need to learn the language ,anyway? I live in America where everyone speaks English.
I realized I was wrong in ninth grade when I arrived at Philips Academy,a famous boarding school in Massachusetts.The school encourages a global outlook(視野). There I decided to welcome the opportunity to learn Chinese. I met other American-born Chinese and together we spoke Ching-lish outside of the classroom.
I searched for ways to access Chinese culture through dramas such as Meteor Garden (《流星花園》)and music by singers such as S.H.E,Wilbur Pan and Jasmine Leung（梁靜茹）. Listening to Chinese music is where I found my favorite singer in the whole world:Jay Chou. Even if I cannot understand what he is crooning（哼唱）, I do feel more Chinese whenever I listen to his music.
Last summer I spent five weeks in China,four of which were taking a language course at a Beijing high school. I was proud when I could understand the dialogue in Intitial D（《頭文字D》） and when I could easily translate Fairy Tale sung by Kong Leung（光良）.
Learning Chinese has been a rocky trek（艱苦跋涉）, and I know it will continue to be that way before I arrive at a relative plateau（高地） of fluency（流利）.I hope that one day I will be able to work and maybe even live in China as a true Chinese.
