Dear Brad ,

I am a boy in the first grades of a senior high school . I feel uneasily recently . At home I feel like prisoner . I am not allowed to watch TV or surf the Internet . The only thing I have to do it is studying . Every time I got a low mark , my parents will scold me sharply . There's a generation gap among my parents and me , but it's always difficult to communicate . Life are supposed to be colorful and wonderful , isn't it ? How should I devote all my time and energy to the study so as to entering a good university ? I am very unhappy and lost. I need your help .

Best wishes,

Li Ping

 

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   1. filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   2.  that I decided to write an article about her.

I   3.  Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She   4.  and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I   5.  I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.

I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there   6. , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that   7.  Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The   8.  was almost unbearable. I struggled for days   9.  draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.

It didn’t take long. My manuscript   10. . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I   11.  in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t   12.  the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

Five years later, I was moving to California. While   13.  my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in   14. :

Ms. Profit,

Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some more relevant materials. Please   15.  those and return the article immediately. We would like to   16.  your story soon.

Shocked, it took me a long time to   17. . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and the chance of having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   18.  writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer.   19.  this experience, I’ve learned a very important lesson: You can’t   20.  to doubt yourself.

 Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather  36  test. I didn’t know how  37  I had done but I knew there were things on   38   that I didn’t know.

   I remember   39    waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales  40  my paper on my desk, I was   41    . There in big  42   numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I  43  my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not   44   that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and   45   the class. “The grades were not very good;   46  of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”

   A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal(阴沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot   47   . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s    48   changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t    49   what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother  50   answered.

   For years, I thought that was a harsh judgment. My mother was always that  51  . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and  52  I did it excellently.

   We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand   53  the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy（人生态度）has   54    me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is   55   and there are very few people on it.
