第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

When an egg breaks from outside, a life ends. When an egg breaks from inside, a life begins.

All life’s circumstances can be seen in an egg where in the soft yolk (蛋黄) inside is our 41 and the hard shell outside is the barrier. When the barrier breaks from outside, our desire is crushed, but when it breaks from inside, we 42 a new skill, a new habit and a new life.

I was 22 years old. I did not 43 where the kitchen was in my house, since I had 44 gone into the kitchen before. All of a sudden, I had to move to America to pursue my master’s degree. That is when it 45 me that I had to learn to cook a proper meal in order to 46 . My desire to cook began to 47 , and the yolk began to stir.

The first time I made 48 , it came out like white glue. Within a month of experimenting with different recipes, I 49 the art of making Chinese fried rice and north Indian curry. This breaking of the eggshell from 50 gave me yet another skill for life, 51 . Now that I look back, maybe my wife agreed to marry me for this 52 alone.

It is easy to break an egg from outside, but it is 53 to break it from inside. What is even more difficult is to 54 you from outside and break the egg from inside. That is where the role of a teacher, a mentor or a coach comes in.

It took months of patience and coaching to help him 57 his fear. It was an uphill task to keep him motivated through failures. 58 , I was glad and relieved when he learned both these essential skills.

The important lesson here is that the egg will be 59 no matter what. Success, when the egg breaks from inside, is more about what you overcome than what you achieve.

Life always throws up 60 . I urge you all learn the instrument that you always wanted to play but have not played so far. As the saying goes, there is never a lock without a key, never a problem without a solution. Persist, believe in yourself and allow your yolk to break through to a new soul, a new you.
