Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she talked about how she became a percussion soloist（打击乐器独奏演员）in spite of deafness.
“Early on I decided not to allow the 1 of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 2 piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion（酷爱）for music grew. But I also began to lose my 3 . Doctors told me that the nerve damage(神经损伤) was the 4 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never left me.”
“My 5 was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I learned to ‘hear’ music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can 6 the pitch of a note（音调高低）by the vibrations（振动）I feel through my body and through my imagination. My sound world exists by making use of almost every 7 that I have.”
“I decided to be a musician even though I was deaf, and applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had 8 this before and some teachers disagreed with me. Because of my performance, I finally entered the academy and went on to 9 with the academy’s highest honors a few years later.”
“I’ve been a soloist for more than ten years. 10 the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t mean that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be limited by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”

How old was I? I can’t remember. Maybe I was only 10. It was the first 16 without my father because he was away for something. He left me to fill that sad place in my mother’s heart. It was the Christmas when I stopped being a 17 and tried to play Father Christmas myself. I really wanted to make it happy and bright again. It was the Christmas of the 18 .
Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, a nice 19 shop in our town’s little shopping mall. It was dark green. And it was a 20 , heavy, wool dress coat. Mom pulled it out from the rack(架) and held it up. “Long enough,” she said in a low voice and 21 .
“I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the mirror. She looked good on any clothes, 22 this coat suited her much better. She looked at the 23 , then hung the coat back on the rack, standing there once more to 24
Eighty-seven dollars. But I decided to buy it for her. As we moved on 25 the mall, I found some excuse to return and asked one of the Tobias ladies to 26 the coat.
I helped clean every yard(庭院) in our neighbourhood—some yards twice, and soon I got the coat. The store ladies helped me put it in their biggest 27 with bright blue paper and thick silver ribbon(丝带). I don’t remember 28 I got it home, but I can still feel the wonderful 29 and pride that filled me. I would imagine the big space which the box would take up under our tree. Here it was—joy, peace and 30 —all in the box, waiting for Mom’s surprise.
