阅读下面的文字,完成小题。

    鸟类歌声中事务性通讯的内容已有人作了那么多分析,以至于看起来它们没有多少时间从事音乐活动。但音乐还是有的。在警告、惊叫、求偶、宣布领地、征募新友、要求解散等词汇的背后,还有大量的、重复出现的美妙音乐,说这些是8小时以内的事务性语言是难以讲通的。我后院里的画眉低首唱着如思如慕、流水般婉转的歌曲,一遍又一遍,我强烈的感觉是,它这样做只是自得其乐。有些时候,它似乎像一个住在公寓里的专业歌手一样练唱。它开始唱一段急奏,唱到第二小节的中间部分戛然而止,似乎那儿应该有一组复杂的和声。它从头再来,但还是不满意。有时它明显地改用另一套乐谱,似乎在即兴来几组变奏。这是一种沉思的、若询若诉的音乐。我不能相信它只是在说“画眉在这儿”。

    After I2 from college in 1932, I decided to find a job in radio as a sports announcer (广播员). I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But 3 I was refused every time.

    At one station, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn't want an inexperienced person and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations. Following her 4 I went back to Dixon, where I had grown up. There were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, and my father said a newly-opened store wanted a local athlete to work for it. I asked for the job, but I was 5again.

    “Everything happens for the best,”Mom 6 me. Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, said they had hired an announcer.

    As I left his office, my frustration (挫败感) boiled over.“How can I become a sports announcer 7 I can't get a job in a radio station?”I asked aloud.

    While I was waiting for the lift, I heard someone 8my name. It was MacArthur.“What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?”Then he asked me to broadcast (广播) an imaginary game.9 with my performance, he offered me a chance to work there.

    10my way home, I thought of my mother's words:“If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous (之前的) disappointment.”
