Do you know what family instructions are? They are common beliefs(信仰)that family members follow. In ancient China, people passed down their family instructions from generation to generation.

I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra（额外的）help. Still, I suffered（遭受）the rest of my school days in public schools.

My life improved greatly when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay. Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence（自信）came along.

I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t an easy thing: it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.

Later I decided to learn how to read and write. I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I was literate（有文化的）.

Through the long process with art, climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life: I am smart enough to dive into（潜入）an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.

1.The writer’s _____________________________________ made his school days difficult.

2.The writer got confidence from art because it gave him ___________________________.

3.What else did the writer learn besides art and climbing?

4.找出并写下第二段主题句。

_______________________________________________________________________________________.

5.将文中画线句子译成汉语。
