海淀区高三年级第二学期期末练习第1页(共10页)I was studying chemistry at college because my family thought it was the key to success. One day, my professor took me aside and asked a very simple question, “Why are you in my class when it’s obvious that you have little or no 11 in chemistry?”I came up with an explanation by 12 pressure from my dad, but he knew it was just a /an13 excuse. He gave me the following advice.“Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is 14 . Your success will not be the same as mine, as your neighbor’s or your parents’. There is no secret formula(公式), no examination you have to 15 , and no guarantee, but there is a secret ingredient—16 . To be successful in life in the broadest sense, you must pursue your passion. 17 it is fixing cars or exploring the world, you must be passionate about your 18 and set a path to achieve it. Only then will you find true 19 .”Since I was just nineteen years old, that was pretty profound advice to 20 , but I knew instinctively (本能地) that he was 21 .

I studied harmony and composition, learned how toplay a clarinet(单簧管) and 26 the symphony orchestra. Ifelt as though I was on top of the world, and that 27 hassymphony orchestranever left me.I’m now fifty-four years old, and a very happy and 28man. As I look at the walls of my small office, I still get a thrill at seeing the records I 29 , the photos of the famous musicians I was lucky enough to play with, and the praises from many of the finest instrumentalists in the world who I am honored to call my friends.Life was a long journey, and not a/an 30 one, but I followed my passion and succeeded.11.
