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 /an 13 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 made a conscious self-examination of my short life to 22 where my passion was hiding. It was so 23 that even my kid sister could have told me my true passion was music. It was in my genes. I could play the piano by ear, but had 24 considered music as a hobby.
Could I be a successful musician? Or a songwriter? Or a music critic? There was only one way to find out, so I took my professor’s 25 and switched to the university’s music school. I studied harmony and composition, learned how to play a clarinet(单簧管) and 26 the symphony orchestra. I felt as though I was on top of the world, and that 27 has
symphony orchestra never left me.
I’m now fifty-four years old, and a very happy and 28
man. 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.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Everyone at Pacsafe is always eager to get out in the world and enjoy new cultures, food, and experiences. With that in mind we asked a few of our top travel bugs for their best travel destination recommendations for 2019. They also included their favorite Pacsafe bag to take on the trip. Enjoy and hopefully get some ideas for your own globe-trotting adventure. Sri Lanka---Alison Hanko, Global Marketing Director
I’m going to Sri Lanka this summer holiday and can’t wait. It’s close to Hong Kong where I live and I’ve always wanted to go. The food is supposed to be amazing. It seems really relaxing and I really want to do the Kandy to Badulla train ride, which looks just stunning. We’ve booked a good mix of beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully see elephants in the wild.
For my bag, I’ll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built-in wet pack for my bikinis. It’s also a great size for a week-long trip in a warm climate. Japan---Ben Barras, Creative Director
Japan is definitely my best travel destination recommendation. The culture, the streets, the architecture, the inspiration you get from all of that is amazing. The food is also fascinating. It’s where I’m most planning to go. Tokyo obviously, but also visiting the mountains. You can go snowboarding, which I haven’t done for years.
I have a Vibe 25L Backpack which you can pack a lot in. The thing I like most about it is that it’s compact, but still fits plenty in. I’ll pair that up with a larger travel bag for the rest of my things and use the backpack to get around day to day.
Berlin---Phil Hayes, Executive VP of Global Design
For me, it’s definitely Berlin. I’m particularly excited about the fashion, which I hear is pretty full on. Also the art galleries and history. Food, nightlife. Everything I’ve heard about Berlin is pretty cool, so I’m going to suck as much as I can out of it. World’s Global Style Network had the Berlin shopping list that came out recently, so I’m going to follow that through as well.
Bag wise, it will be the Quiksilver X Collab Bag. It’s the 25L Anti-theft Backpack. It’s normally my go-to bag for city trips because it’s super easy to lock on the plane and in bars, and it’s just the right amount of space.
31. Which of the Pacsafe bag is a good choice for beach travel?
A. The Quiksilver 40L Pack. B. The Vibe 25L Backpack. C. The Quiksilver X Collab Bag. D. 25L Anti-theft Backpack. 32. If you are interested in fashion, which destination should you choose? A. Sri Lanka. B. Japan. C. Hong Kong. D. Berlin. 33. What can you enjoy in all the three places mentioned? A. Beautiful beaches. B. Amazing food. C. Fascinating art. D. Cool snowboarding. 34. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. share personal travelling experiences B. offer practical tips on taking adventure C. present cultures in different countries D. recommend favorable travel destinations 海淀区高三年级第二学期期末练习 第3页（共10页）
