19．Which musical instrument shall I learn？
Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument，but they are put off by one big problem：What to play？Here are a few questions to help you decide．

Many instruments are of different use，but some are more fit for certain types of music Some instruments may lead themselves better than others to the music you like，so consider this before you start．

6．Dennis Sinar，51，a doctor from New York，is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job．"I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26years．I needed a recharge．"So he took a"gap year"，from July 2011to June 2012，to explore things like ancient buildings，and traditional Eastern medicine，in locations including Alaska，Nepal and Romania．
"Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one，"said Holly Bull，president of Princeton，N，J．"In recent years，mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest，"she said．A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential American market for gap years as a"sleeping giant．"
"A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk．I enjoyed that side most．"said Dr．Sinar，who kept a daily blog about his experience．His time studying Eastern medicine"assured the reasons I went into health care，"said Dr．Sinar，who returned to practice medicine at his old job，although he works fewer days．"I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care，"he added．"And I listen better than I did before．"
George Garritan，chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University，certainly agrees with Dr．Sinar．He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies．For employees，investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career．He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career．For companies，offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees．

3．Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation（创新）that threatens the survival of companies everywhere．It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work，so they shouldn't be challenged．While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change，it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation．In today's rapid changing global environment，old methods often don't work，and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems．
Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security．If everyone else believes it，then it must be true．Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right，and being right is good．They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work．In 1977，Ken Olsen，co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation（DEC），stated"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home．"Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry，DEC no longer exists．
People seem to forget that since innovation is a change，there can be no innovation without change．Unfortunately，conventional wisdom prevents leaders，followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating．If companies don't innovate，but their competitors do，the future is likely to be problematic．Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries，so it has a powerful effect on business success．
Ted Turner（founder of CNN） knew little，if anything，about the news business，but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour，as was common before CNN．Turner's solution was to create a cable channel devoted to news 24hours a day．The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time，and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day．However，it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don't have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work．Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information．Due to conventional thinking，the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted．They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future．
Conventional wisdom prevents creativity，flexibility and risk-taking，so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it．To survive，boom and maintain competitive advantage，companies must be flexible when reacting to change．
32．DEC has disappeared probably becauseA．
A．the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas
B．the consumers didn't like its products
C．the leaders lacked the sense of security
D．the employees took many risks with changes
33．The founding of CNN is used as an example to proveC．
A．missing opportunities could lead to failure
B．watching news at the dinner hour is convenient
C．changing could contribute to business success
D．conventional wisdom influences business success
34．What does the underlined part probably mean？B
A．Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly．
B．It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the time．
C．It's necessary to understand when people watch the news．
D．Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work．
35．The passage is mainly written to tell us thatD．
A．old methods are changing with time
B．opportunities lead to business success
C．successful companies need wise leaders
D．conventional wisdom limits innovation．

20．Night after night，she came to pull the cover（被子） up around me and make me feel comfortable in bed，even long after my childhood years．Following her longstanding custom，she would lean down and push my long hair out of the way，then kiss my forehead．I don't remember when it first started annoying me-her hands pushing my hair that way．But it did annoy me，for they felt work-worn and rough（粗糙）against my young skin．Finally，one night，I shouted out at her，"Don't do that any more-your hands are too rough!"
She didn't say anything in reply．But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love．Time after time，with the passing years，my thoughts returned to that night．By then I missed my mother's hands，missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead．Sometimes the incident seemed very close，sometimes far away．But always it remained in the back of my mind．Well，the years have passed，and I'm not a little girl any more．Mom is in her mid-seventies，and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family．She's been our doctor，reaching into a first aid kit（急救箱） for the remedy to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe（缓解）the boy's injured knee．She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could…Now，my own children are grown and gone．Mom no longer has Dad，and on special occasions，I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her．So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve，as I slept in the bedroom of my youth，a familiar hand hesitantly（犹豫地）ran across my face to brush （梳理）the hair from my forehead．Then a kiss，ever so gently，touched my brow．In my memory，for the thousandth time，I recalled the night my young voice complained，"Don't do that anymore-your hands are too rough!"
Catching Mom's hand in hand，I blurted out how sorry I was for that night．I thought she'd remember，as I did．But Mom didn't know what I was talking about．She had forgotten-and forgiven-long ago．That night，I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands．And the guilt（内疚）that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found．
