1．The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising career in business to study music．My parents，although sympathetic，disapproved of music as an occupation．This was understandable，I thought，in view of my family background．My grandfather taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College，and it was only the threiftiness （节俭） of my grandmother that kept the wolf at bay．As a consequence，My parents insisted upon college instead of a music school．
Before my graduation from Columbia University，the family met with severe fanacial difficulty and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job．Thus was I launched upon a business career-which I always think of as the wasted years．
Now，I do not for a moment mean to disparage （贬低） business； my whole point is that it was not for me．My one ambition was to save enough money to quit and go to Europe to study music．
I used to get up at dawn to practice before I left for"downtown"，upsetting my poor mother by having a hasty breakfast at the last minute．Instead of lunching with my business associates，I would seek out some cheap café，order a mean meal and draw my harmony exercise．I continued to make money，and finally，bit by bit，accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad．The family being once more wealthy，and my help no longer necessary．I resigned from my position and feeling like a man released from jail，sailed for Europe．I stayed four years，worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it．
"Enjoyed"is too mild a word．I walked on air．I really lived．I was a free man and I was doing what I loved to do and what I was meant to do．If I had stayed in business，I might be a really wealthy man today．But I do not believe I would have made a success of living．I would have given up all those inner satiosfaction that money can never buy and that are too often sacrificed when a man's primary goal is fanacial success．Money is a wonderful thing，but it is possible to pay too high a price on it．

She was gone just a few minutes，but in that time，I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up．I was left staring at the cashier，who was staling at me．"Do you have money for me，son？"she said．"I'll need to be paid．"-
I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself．So I stood there，ashamed and embarrassed．
By the time my mom returned，I was angry．"You left me here with no money!This lady asked me for the money，and I had nothing to give her I"

Reviews
Cultual Breaks by Brian Aldiss Reviewed by Paul Kincaid Brian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writer．When he is on song，his style is forceful，disturbing and delectable．But he is a restless writer．He came into his own in the enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave，and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever since．That he is still experimenting now，50years after his first appearance，is a measure of a man who has never been prepared to settle back on his laurels．
The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma Alexander Reviewed by Donna McMahon With so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings and mythology，ancient China makes a refreshing change．The landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very real，and the author uses magic sparingly，in ways appropriate to her society．This and the complex detail put into the backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical fiction．
Straken by Terry Brooks Reviews by Nathan Brazil The third novel in the High Druid of Shannara series jumps straight back into the story where it left off．It continues the quest of unlikely hero Penderrin Ohmsford．Now equipped with the means to break in-and back out-of the Forbidding，where his aunt，the overthrown Ard Phys of Druids，is stranded，Pen must first get back to Paranor．His rescue attempt can only begin from within the chamber where Grianne Ohmsford disappeared．Unfortunately，this will deliver him straight into the hands of those responsible for his aunt's disappearance．
