Part II Reading Comprehension ( 25 minutes )
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
? What drives you to succeed as a creative person? Is it the dream of fame, 11 and recognition? Is the thought of seeing your name up in lights that 12 you out of bed in the morning? Having such a strong and clear goal is a 13 motivator and, if you work hard and pay your dues, you can 14 achieve that goal. However, if you want to be successful without the feeling that you are battling your way through life your motivation to get out of that comfy bed in the morning has to come from somewhere else. There must be an even bigger motivating driver.
To have 15 and want to be successful is a fine thing but it isn't enough. Ambition and want are just words that describe desire. To understand WHY you have such desires is quite another thing. True 16 , true art in any form, comes from passion. Great actors aren't great because of their technique. Anyone can learn technique. They move an audience as great actors because of their passion. Passion is the driver that 17 every bone and breath in your body to achieve.
If your desires are not in alignment with your passion you can be successful but you will not be 18 , satisfied. You will live a rich famous life and still 19 for the elusive thing. You will get up in the morning wondering what is wrong with you. You have all that you desired yet you feel that there is still something missing. You are missing the nourishment that feeds your soul, your heart.
Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it. Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, and then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart. When work, 20 commitment, and pleasure unite to become one and you reach into that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible. Through the experience of devoted passion you will reap richer stores of knowledge than any text-book or course of study can give you. A) wealth E) motivates I) confront M) genius B) passion F) concentrated J) yearn N) definite C) supportive G) propels K) fulfilled O) appropriately D) dedicated H) ambition L) absolutely ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
