How a person reacts to criticism(批评) often means the difference between success and failure. Take the   1  of Ole Bull, the famous Norwegian   2   of the 19th century.

His   3  father, a chemist, sent him to the University of Christiania to study for the ministry(牧师) and  4   him to play his beloved violin. He soon   5   the course and, disobeying his father,   6   all his time and energy to the violin. Unfortunately, though he had great ability, his teachers were   7  unskilled, so that by the time he was ready to start his concert   8   he wasn’t prepared.

In Italy a Milan newspaper   9   wrote: “He is a (n)   10   musician. If he be a diamond, he is certainly in the   11  and unpolished.”

There were two ways Ole Bull could have   12   to that criticism. He could have let it make him angry, or he could learn from it. Fortunately he chose the   13  . He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic. The   14   editor introduced him. Ole spent the evening with the 70-year-old critic, asked about his faults, and   15   the old man’s advice on how to correct them.

Then he   16   the rest of his tour, returned home, and   17   the next six months studying under really   18   teachers. He practiced hour   19   hour to overcome his faults. Finally, he returned to his concerts and,   20   only 26, became the wonder of Europe.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)

A common concern we often hear with regard to single children is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a dilemma associated with their decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times, especially during vacations.

Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with brothers or sisters. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less able to interact well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with brothers or sisters.

However, for some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures of giving time and energy to a second child can seem too great, resulting in them electing to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. Still others believe that, ________________, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention. This often leads to increased self-respect which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the child being more confident.
