　　Angela Chang(张韶涵)didn’t know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career(失业)．She went to many different record companies．But she was always turned down for looking too young and small．

　　“I’d never had such difficulties before,”Chang said．But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002．When she got a piece of work, she cried．

　　She soon became a star．Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well．She won many awards．

　　“You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,”said one musician after hearing Chang sing．“She has a special voice．You can’t forget it．”

　　But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too．Chang is also an actress．She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay．Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays．But acting is difficult．Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired(解雇)．Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene(一场戏)right．

　　“I cried when I got back home,”Chang said．“But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail．You only fail when you give up．”

　　Now with four albums behind her-Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other．As she sings in one song,“I have a pair of invisible wings(隐形的翅膀)．They fly me to the skies and give me hope．”

　　My mother was the one who always beat me．I always cried loudly to let the neighbors 　　1　　 she was killing me．For example, if she acted as though she was about to 　　2　　 her hand to me, I would open my 　　3　　 and let the world know about it．If anybody was passing by out on the road, 　　4　　 would either change her mind or just give me a few light touches．

　　Thinking about it now, I feel certain that just as my father supported me for being 　　5　　 than the other children, my mother gave me more shout for the 　　6　　 reason．She was very bright herself, but she liked the ones who were 　　7　　．Jimmy, my eldest brother, I knew, was especially her 　　8　　．I remember that he would tell me to get out of the house．“Let the sun shine on you so you can get some color．”He went out of his way 　　9　　 to let me have a sense of color－advantage．

　　I learned early that crying out in disagreement could finish things．My older brothers and sister would sometimes come in from school and 　　10　　 a biscuit with butter or something．My mother impatiently, would tell them no．But I would cry out and make a big noise until I got what I wanted．I remember well how my mother asked me 　　11　　 I couldn’t be a nice boy like Wilfred．But I would think to myself that Wilfred, for being so nice and quiet, often stayed 　　12　　．So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noises．
