How a person reacts to criticism often means the difference between success and failure．Take Ole Bull for example. His  21   father，a chemist，wanted him to study for the ministry and forbade him to play his beloved(心爱的)violin. He soon gave up the course and，disobeying his father， 22  all his time and energy to the violin．
Unfortunately，though he had great ability，his teachers were   23 unskilled，so that by the time he was ready to start his concert tour he wasn't prepared. In Italy a Milan newspaper critic(批评家)wrote：“He is a(n)   24   musician．If he is a diamond，he is certainly in the rough and unpolished．”There were two ways Ole Bull could have    25   to that criticism．He could have let it make him angry，or he could learn from it．Fortunately he chose the   26 ．He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic．The   27   editor introduced him. Ole spent the evening with the 70 year old critic，asked about his faults，and sought the old man's
28   on how to correct them．Then he cancelled the rest of his tour，returned home，and   29   the next six months studying under really able teachers. He practiced hour after hour to overcome his   30 ．Finally，he returned to his concerts and，when only 26, became the wonder of Europe．

Friendship is unconditional and uncritical, based only on mutual respect and the ability to enjoy each other's company. These authority figures never saw the way one of us could do something outrageous（令人不可容忍的）, and the rest of us would joke about it for days. We could have fun doing absolutely nothing at all—because the ____ 21____ we provided each other with was enough. Rather than discussing operas, Lewinsky, or the weather, we enjoyed just ____22____ each other without any one of us trying to outsmart the others. Still, I realize that these adults had a____23____ to be concerned about the direction my friends were____24____; I also was concerned for them, but I wasn't about to ____25____ them.
Many times I would advise my friends that some activity may be ____26____ or to think things through before doing something, but I would never claim to hold the moral high ground and to condescend(屈尊) to them. When Marvin would begin rolling joints, when Alisa would tell me she skipped school because of a hangover, or when Merriam would tell me that her new boyfriend was in a street gang, I expressed my discomfort with their ____27____. However, I never ____28____ them with the threat of taking my friendship away. Contrary to the commercials on television, you can have ____29____ who use drugs. In fact, probably everyone does without ____30____ it.
21. A. gift             B. present      C. company            D. friendship

An actor might be frightened or 51 as he moved on to the stage in front of him. The audience might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially 52 he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So, “to face the music” 53 to mean: having to go 54 something, no matter how unpleasant the 55 might be, because you knew you had no choice.
