Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she talked about how she became a percussion soloist(打击乐器独奏演员)in spite of deafness.
“Early on I decided not to allow the 1 of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 2 piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion(酷爱)for music grew. But I also began to lose my 3. Doctors told me that the nerve damage(神经损伤) was the 4 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never left me.”
“My 5 was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I learned to ‘hear' music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can 6 the pitch of a note(音调高低)by the vibrations(振动)I feel through my body and through my imagination. My sound world exists by making use of almost every 7 that I have.”
“I decided to be a musician even though I was deaf, and applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had 8 this before and some teachers disagreed with me. Because of my performance, I finally entered the academy and went on to9 with the academy's highest honors a few years later.”
“I've been a soloist for more than ten years. 10 the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn't mean that my passion couldn't be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be limited by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”

Before I was in Grade Six, I was always the worst student in my class. But things became 1 . That's all because a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to my school.

One day after 2 , she found that I didn't have lunch with my classmates, but eating alone(独自). 3 she came to me and began to talk to me. After that day, she gave me particular(特别的) 4 . I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that someone believed in me. Her encouragement(鼓励) 5 me a lot. At the 6 of my first term in Grade Six, I came second in my class.

But later we seemed to get less 7 . Every time I came to talk with her, she just put on a cold, stony face. I didn't know 8 . When I was in Grade Seven, we hardly ever talked with each other. When I 9 middle school, I was out of touch with her. She 10 answered the phone when I called her.

Several years later, I went to a good university. One day, I 11 her at a party. I couldn't help asking her, "Why did you stop talking to me?"

"You are a 12 boy. I want you to be able to stand on your own two feet and try to 13 the best in you. Now here you are and I feel proud(骄傲的) of 14 ," She said. I could not say 15 , but I smiled. I'll always thank her.

"Where was the cashier (收银员)?" I wondered. Feeling1 with having waited at the counter ( 柜 台 ) for at least 3 minutes, I quickly looked at my watch. I was afraid I2 had enough time to eat a sandwich and then rushed back to work.

When I looked around the nearly empty3 , I saw a woman cleaning a table in the corner. She looked at me coldly with sad, dark eyes.

I felt so angry that I was almost out of4 . Suddenly I remembered Mom's words. "5 you find yourself in an unpleasant situation, just think about what is missing. If someone is6 , then kindness is missing. If someone is hateful, then 7 is missing. If we will do what's missing, then we will provide whatever the situation needs."

And here I was in an unpleasant situation.8 should I do "what's missing"? What was missing was service. Should I just jump behind the counter to take the food I would order?

Just then the woman walked slowly towards me. "May I help you?" she asked, still 9 .

She looked so tired.10 , she was overworked.

I took a deep breath. With Mom's words still ringing in my11 , I gave the woman my order and smiled. "How are you doing today?"

My question seemed to 12 her. She looked at me for a second before answering. "Not too good."

"I'm sorry," I said, "I hope it gets better from right now."

She almost smiled as she handed me the food. "Thanks. I hope you're right."

I thought to 13 as I ate my sandwich. We're the same, really. We have problems and angers, we get tired and we hurt. We need to be14 to each other.

After eating, I cleaned the table cleaner than usual, and put the tray (托盘) back nicely on the stand. The woman was watching me all the time, with a big smile on her face.

"Do what's missing." What mum said really15 .I smiled back to her, too.
