How Much Music Can You Make?
On Nov. 18, 1995, violinist Perlman, performed a concert in New York City. Stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症)as a child, Perlman painfully walked with the aid of two crutches(拐杖)to a chair in the middle of the stage. He carefully laid the crutches on the floor, extended one leg forward and the other underneath his chair, picked up his instrument and nodded to the conductor to begin.
But something went wrong. After only seconds of playing, one of the strings on his violin broke. The sound was so loud that the audience immediately knew what had happened and fully expected the concert to be stopped until another string or even another instrument could be found. However, Perlman surprised them. He closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra restarted where they had left off and Perlman played on three strings. He played with passion and power. All the time he worked out new fingering in his mind to make up for the missing string. A work that few people could play well on four strings Perlman played on three.
When he finished, an awesome silence hung in the room. And then as one, the crowd rose to their feet and cheered wildly. Applause burst forth from every corner of the concert hall as fans appreciated his talent and his courage.
Perlman smiled and wiped the sweat from his brow. Then he raised his bow to quiet the crowd and said, in a quiet tone, "You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left." Disease left him with less power than he had before, yet he went on. Playing a concert on three strings is like his motto—he went on with what he had left and still made music.
And isn't that true with us? Our task is to find out how much music we can still make with what we have left, for I'm convinced that the world needs the music only you and I can make.
36. After the string on his violin broke, Perlman__________.
A. found another instrument
B. stopped the concert
C. played on three strings
D. changed a new string
37. The audience cheered and clapped to show their ________.
A. appreciation
B. talent and courage
C. engagement
D. passion and power
38. Perlman succeeded due to his ________.
A. cautiousness
B. patience
C. kindness
D. faith
39. The story inspires people to ________.
A. go with the flow
B. share music with others
C. employ what we have
D. smile and keep quiet
