Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist (打擊樂器獨奏演員) in spite of her disability.
“Early on I decided not to allow the1of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began2piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion (酷愛) for music grew. But I also began to gradually lose my3.Doctors concluded that the nerve damage was the4and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never
5me.”
“My6was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I7to ‘hear’ music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can8the pitch of a note (音調高低) by the vibrations (振動) I feel through my body and through my9.My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every10that I have.”
“I was11to 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 had12this before and some teachers13my admission. Based on my performance, I was
14admitted and went on to15with the academy’s highest honours.”
“After that, I established myself as the first fulltime solo percussionist. I
16and arranged a lot of musical compositions since17had been written specially for solo percussionists.”
“I have been a soloist for over ten years.18the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t19that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be20by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”

“When the Atlanta Airport was under2 in 1979,we were a new company struggling to make it.National Car Rental wanted to have 2500 square meters of dirt paved3the cars could be on site4the airport opened,and the official opening was only ten days away!5other local paving company wanted to do the job,6it couldn’t be done in such a short time.”
“Because we were new and really needed the work,we were7to try harder.We gave National Car Rental our offer and8our best effort to get the job finished within ten days.We also9them that if we failed,they would be no worse off, 10they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.”
“We got the job and immediately went into11.Working at night needed lights,so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site.Our12challenge was to keep the rock mixture13enough.All the available water wagons(灑水車)were rented out for the airport construction,and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one.14,I got a special 15to rent fire engine hoses(消防水龍帶)and connect them to nearby hydrants(消防);then I16held one of those hoses to17down the rock.”
“Those ten days were filled with challenges that18one creative idea after another.Nine days later,the night before the airport opened,National Car Rental was the 19company that had cars on the parking lot.”

I decided to work harder to3. Yesterday, I4so much on my ride that I missed the short route (路線) I usually take;5, I stayed on the long route. I had never used this route, so I wasn’t really sure about which6I should take. Thankfully, a group of four riders7, and I just followed them.
