I take after my mother. From her I took over a curious nature, a sense of adventure and bright red hair. However, I did not receive a talent(才能) for _______ from her.

My mother never doubted that I would be a child Mozart. She found a strict Russian woman to be my piano teacher when I was four. I did whatever the teacher told me in order to _______ her. “Feel the music,” she always told me, I “felt” it. But what is more unpleasant than too many wrong notes played continuously? She “felt” my music, too, which is why she always left with a(an) _______ expression.

Once, in order to _______ my practice, I managed to record one of my own rehearsals(练习). I put on the tape recording and read until the tape had finished. That method worked for a week, until my mother began to _______ why I always missed the same note. She came in and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.

Realizing I couldn’t be a Mozart, my mother told me to pick another instrument. From then on, I worked my way through several other instruments, but I still couldn’t play any of them _______.

Then my mother hit on another idea. She took me to a drama(戏剧) teacher. However, the teacher put me into painting scenery(舞台布景) instead of teaching to sing. Immediately I fell in love with this active and practical world, and I discovered that I had a skill for building and painting. I loved the _______ of taking our limited supplies and using them to make something beautiful!

I’m a sculptor(雕刻家) now, and every day I _______ once again the pleasure of being fully involved in the act of artistic creation. It’s a wonderful feeling. I realize that my mother was trying to give me this feeling. Perhaps she went about it in the wrong way, but her heart was in the right place.
