On Nov． 18， 1995， violinist Itzhak Perlman performed a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City．

Stricken with polio （小儿麻痹症） as a child，Perlman       walked with the aid of two crutches（拐杖）to a chair in the middle of the stage．He carefully laid the crutches on the floor，    one leg forward and the other underneath his chair， picked up his instrument and nodded to the       to begin．

But something went wrong． After only seconds of playing， one of the strings on his violin        ．The audience immediately knew what happened and fully expected the concert to be       until another string or even another insrument could be found． But Perlman         them． He quickly calmed down， closed his eyes and then        the conductor to begin again．So the orchestra played from where they had                and Perlman played on three strings． He played         passion and power． All the time he worked out new fingering in his mind to make up for the        string． A work that few people         play well on four strings Perlman accomplished on three．

When he finished， a（n）       silence hung in the room．And then as one， the crowd rose to their feet and        wildly．Applause burst forth from every corner of the auditorium        fans showed deep       for his talent and his courage． Perlman smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead．Then he raised his bow to        the crowd and said， not proudly， but in a       ， quiet， holy tone， “You know． sometimes it is the artist's        to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left．”

Such was Itzhak Perlman． a great violinist． Playing a concert on three strings is not unlike his philosophy of life -- he         what he had left and still made music．And isn't that true with us？As for me I'm        that the world， more than ever， needs the music only you and I can make．
