完形填空

     Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview she recalled how she
became a percussion soloist (打击乐器独奏演员 )  in spite of her disability.        
     "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 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 gradually lose my      3   . Doctors concluded that the
nerve damage was the     4      and by age twelve I was completely deaf. But my love for music never
   5   me. "        
     "My    6    was to become a percussion soloist even though there were none at that time. To perform
I    7   to 'hear' music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can     8     the pitch of a
note (音调高低) by the vibrations (振动) I feel through my body and through my    9     . My entire
sound world exists by making use of almost every     10   that I have. "        
     "I was    11   to be assessed as a musician not as a deaf musician and I applied to the famous Royal
Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had     12   this before and some teachers     13  
my admission. Based on my performance I was    14     admitted and went on to    15   with the academy's
highest honours. "        
     "After that I established myself as the first full-time solo percussionist. I      16    and arranged a lot of musical compositions since    17   had been written specially for solo percussionists. "        
     "I have been a soloist for over ten years.    19  the doctor thought I was totally deaf it didn't    18   that
my passion couldn't be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be    20   by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go. "
