三、还原信息
How do people find their inner(内在的)talent? British writer and speaker Sir Kenneth Robinson talked about this. He told a story about Gillian Lynne,a great dancer and choreographer(编舞者)who has worked in famous musicals like Cats and Phantom of the Opera.
Gillian Lynne never did well in primary school as a child. 1. ______ Her mother was quite worried about her. She took Lynne to see a doctor. For 20 minutes,she talked about the problems Lynne was having in school with the doctor. Then,the doctor said to Lynne,"I need to talk to your mother first. Wait here." As they left the room,the doctor turned on the radio. He then said to Lynne's mother,"Just stand and watch her." 2. ______ The doctor then turned to Lynne's mother and said,"Mrs Lynne,your daughter isn't sick. She's a dancer. Take her to a dance school."
So she did. Lynne's new dance school was full of people just like her — people who had to move in order to think. 3. ______ Lynne later went to the Royal Ballet School,one of the world's greatest dance schools,and became a great dancer.
After leaving the school,she worked on some of the most successful musicals in history. It is hard to believe that years ago,somebody else would just put her on medication(药物治疗)and tell her to calm down.

B. Find your inner talent like Lynne,and you can also succeed.
C. She was strict with herself and studied hard in primary school.
