In order to tell what I believe, I must briefly sketch something of my personal history.

The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising business career and study music. My parents, although sympathetic, and sharing my love of music, disapproved of it as a profession. This was understandable in view of the family background. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Springhill College in Mobile and, though much beloved and respected in the community, earned barely enough to provide for his large family. My father often said it was only the hardheaded thriftiness of my grandmother that kept the wolf at bay. As a consequence of this example, the very mention of music as a profession carried with it a picture of an insecure existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted upon college instead of a conservatory(音乐学院), and to college I went.

Before my graduation form Columbia, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. Thus was I launched upon a business career – which I always think of as the wasted years.

Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage business. My whole point is that it was not for me. I went into it for money, and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. From being merely discontented I became acutely miserable. My one ambition was to save enough to quit and go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad. The family being once more solvent, and my help no longer necessary, I resigned from my position and, feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it. I was meant to do.

If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those intangibles, those inner satisfactions, that money can never buy, and that are too often sacrificed when a man’s primary goal is financial success. Money is a wonderful thing, but it is possible to pay too high a price on it.

1. The author’s parents discouraged him from studying music chiefly because A. they didn’t understand why music was so important to him.

B. they didn’t know whether he would be a successful musician.

C. they didn’t believe any conservatory was as good as Columbia.

D. they didn’t think as a music teacher he would make much money.

2. For what did the author leave Columbia before he graduated?

A. He received a good job offer.

B. He couldn’t wait to study music.

C. He felt he should help his family.

D. He was dissatisfied with Columbia.

3. Which of the following statements about the author’s business career is true?

A. He made a large amount of money.

B. He didn’t enjoy his career in business.

C. He worked very hard as a businessperson.

D. He didn’t think his profession was noble one.

4. From the passage we know that the author believes A. one shouldn’t sacrifice his inner satisfactions for the sake of money

B. a person’s primary goal in life shouldn’t be financial success

C. parents should not always tell their children what to do

D. not everyone can have a successful career in business
