Backpacking through Africa, I always carried some food with me 21 I couldn’t find something to eat．
I was 22 through a local market one day when I 23 upon a jar of 24 jam．I could find tins of apple and strawberry in every corner store but this was the first time I had seen peach．I took it．
For the next few weeks, when I was feeling the need for a little 25 , I would carefully 26 the lid and spoon a bit on to a biscuit．Mum, delicious．I didn’t 27 it with anybody．It sat safely in my 28 , taken out on only special 29 ．
One cold and cloudy afternoon, while I was waiting for a local bus, it started to rain．Everybody scattered for 30 and so did I．But I was already wet through so I quickly searched through my pack for some 31 clothes．
In my hurry to 32 further discomfort, I forgot that the jar of jam was 33 in my clothing．One forceful yank（猛拉）and my 34 jar of jam crashed to the concrete ground, smashing into pieces．
I was so sad that I almost cried．And then, in the corner of my eye, I noticed an old woman in rags 35 ．Without hesitating, she bent down and picked up the half of the jar that still looked 36 ．
Still 37 , she stuck two fingers into the jar, scooped out the 38 jam and placed it into her toothless mouth．Carefully, like fish bones, she 39 the pieces of glass．She studied the broken container 40 she was certain that there was nothing left．Then she left．
My bus arrived shortly after and, as we drove off, I wondered if the jam would taste the same to me．

In February 2006, I flew into Beijing from Shanghai to watch a performance by Iceland’s Bjork and to interview her.
Some people find it difficult to 36 Bjork’s music. Her sound is an acquired taste, but 37 you get into it, you’re hooked. After the 38 press conference, I was 39 to a room where we did a one-on-one 40 for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun.
The 41 at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show, Bjork 42 the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit.
However, an incident gave me an impression that she was unusual and moody.
The next day I was invited to go to the Great Wall with a lot of 43 who were to take pictures of Bjork. She was with her son and did not seem to be in the 44 for the photographers. She stood and stared at the ground, not facing the 45 .
Then suddenly, she ran off to the 46 , out to her waiting bus, and sped back to Beijing. It was strange to see since she had been so 47 with the press a few days before.
After leaving Beijing, she went on to perform in Hong Kong and Thailand. In a story that 48 around the world, she jumped on and attacked a female reporter at the Bangkok airport who 49 said, “Welcome to Thailand!”
You may have seen her at the Academy Awards a few years ago when she 50 in that usual swan costume, 51 perhaps her performance of Oceania at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Greece Olympics. Bjork does demand attention.
She’s 52 a new album, Volta. She challenges us to enter her own world with every album, and this one is no 53 .
Working with a variety of producers, including Timbaland, she takes us into her music again with an artistic 54 . It is 55 to digest, but if you can appreciate her unusual efforts, you will have a lot to get into.

Mum keeps telling me “Turn the radio down!” or “Can’t you listen to anything else” or “I don’t know how you can 36 with all noises.” Even my friends at school don’t appreciate the 37 I love, and my best friend told me I am a ‘radio junkie.’
I thought about the music that 38 me each day. It represented a wide range of music 39 ——I certainly wasn’t narrow—minded. I don’t only listen to hard roc, but also to music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and it isn’t really that 40 . Perhaps my mum and dad aren’t as square as I thought they were, if that’s the sort of music they 41 .
While music is the most important 42 I listen to my radio, it’s not the only one. my favorite station has many 43 presenters, from the wake—up show to the latest night ‘stop—outs’, and with all sorts of up —beat variations in between. My ‘must—listen—to’ 44 is the top 40 countdown where I get to 45 all the latest and very best music selections.
Do I learn anything form the 46 I listen to? Of course I do! If you listen 47 to the lyrics of most songs, they have something to 48 about every aspect of life. People who are sad, mad, glad or bad, all 49 their feelings in the songs they sing or in the music they play. You see, I’m learning 50 other people cope with these feelings, and in some small way, it’s helping me too.
Competitions, talk—back programs and the dreaded ‘ads’, are all 51 of radio, but it’s the music that attracts me most. I’ve 52 learned to do all sorts of things while listening to the music on the radio. I can do my homework, play sport, have a shower, get dressed, 53 while listening to the radio!
I’d rather not be 54 radio junkie, but if that’s the word that describes my radio listening 55 most exactly, then I guess I’ll have to live with it. my music suits me and I suit my music.

Nearly thirty years ago, I went rock climbing for the first time with a group in New Mexico. It sounded exciting and 31 ! Anyone who has ever climbed knows that you can easily 32 where there is no place to go, or so. It seems you’re stuck. But 33 is not an option. You cannot just stand there and feel 34 for yourself. You cannot go back down, so you are 35 to become solution minded.
I held on for dear life that day, on my first climb, 36 about three quarters of the way to the top. It seemed that there was no place to go, and 37 to put my hands or feet so that I could 38 upward. But after a few minutes had passed I realized that I had to do 39 . I began to look again for a(n) 40 . I then noticed a 41 sticking out, which I might be able to grab with my hands and 42 myself up to where I could have a small foothold. I called to the instructor at the top and asked him if that rock would hold my 43 if I pulled myself up. I can 44 remember his answer, “I don’t know. Why don’t you try it and see?”
In life we many times feel “stuck”. We wonder how we got into the 45 that we are presently in. It is in those times that we need to be careful about how we define(定义)it. Have we failed, 46 is it just a setback?
Setbacks, adversity(逆境), or being stuck is never an indication that you are a 47 unless you decide that those things define your life as a failure. For people looking for a(n) 48 to be a failure, there are always plenty to choose from. But if you want your life to be successful, setbacks, adversity and being stuck are 49 stepping-stones to your success. Success minded people 50 those kinds of things for what they really are. They know that for them, they are only temporary.

Nearly two decades has passed , I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles ,it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth .Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.
When James was a teenager ,his father 36 him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The 37 was to get James a job.
He entered the factory ,and immediately felt as if the 38 had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot , the windows covered with dust, and the 39 were packed tightly together ,running like trains. The fur hairs were flying , 40 a thickened air ,and the workers,
41 the pieces of fur together , were bent over their needles 42 the boss marched up and down the rows ,searching for them to go faster .James could hardly 43 . He stood next to his father ,frozen with fear ,hoping the boss wouldn’t 44 at him , too.
During lunch break ,his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him, 45 if there was any work for his son. But 46 there was barely enough 47 for the adult labours ,for no one would give it up once he takes a job.
Thus , for James, it was a 48 . He hated the place. He made a 49 that he kept to the end of his like: he would never do any work that brought 50 to someone else ,and he would never allow himself to 51 money off the seat of others.
“What will you do?” his mother , Eva , would ask him.
“I don’t know,” he 52 say. He ruled out law ,because he didn’t like 53 , and he ruled out medicine , because he couldn’t take the 54 of blood.
“What will you do?”
55 , my best professor I ever had became he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.
