Question

    Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time,   37   whatever it is that we work so hard doing, it seems that there is    38    someone else who can do it much better.

My father__41    several instruments and when he played with others, it was not difficult to ___42   his sound in a group. Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own  43  sound.

    I  44   read of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, “   45    else can make the sound that you make. The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's but who is to say which is     46    . ” It is said that, “   47     is in the eye of the beholder（觀看者）, ” perhaps it could be said that “a delightful sound is in the ear of the     48    . ”

    Every person has a different tone of voice that     49   only to them,     50     we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of     51     that is unique to them.
