文档简介
Passage 1
The Internet can be a dark, unbearable place. Readers generally don't show their true__1__and thus feel free to leave bitter comments.
So__2__， schoolteacher Decker in Florida felt__3__when her son wanted to share her __4__ online. She'd recently taken an art class and painted an egret(白鹭). Her proud son posted a photo of Decker __5__ holding her painting. Below it he wrote: “My mom painted this and said no one would be __6__ of it. It's her 2nd painting.”
Far from not enjoying it — more than 24，000 people __7__ her painting! An artist saw the photo and made a decision to express his __8__ for the mother by painting Decker carrying her painting. He even __9__ the shy look on her face. He __10__ himself having his painting of Decker with her painting and posted the image online.
Then, two days later a journalism student __11__her picture of the artist holding his painting of Decker holding her painting online. Well, thus the Internet just stepped in and __12__. More and more people joined in and __13__ the “fun”. By this time, the paintings and pictures of paintings had got over one million people's __14__ online.
Instead of the__15__remarks she was expecting, Decker said so many people were very __16__ to her. She registered a social media account to__17__their support. She wrote, “I was really__18__I was going to read a lot of hateful comments. You all have proven me so __19__. You all are sympathetic, caring, and a ton of fun! You all have __20__ me and strengthened my confidence. Thank you！”

Okorafor got __5__ later. But before she did, she saw strange things in her hospital room. She imagined her __6__ as a beast that hunted her from the shadows.

We __11__ know where we might find the inspiration to create. As a __12__， most of my inspiration comes from other people's music. But I also find __13__ in other places. Books, movies and __14__ just moments in everyday life can lead to new creations.

Okorafor got __5__ later. But before she did, she saw strange things in her hospital room. She imagined her __6__ as a beast that hunted her from the shadows.

This __8__ woman inspired her and helped her __9__ her pain. “I felt myself become __10__，” she wrote in her book BrokenPlaces&OuterSpaces: FindingCreativityintheUnexpected.
We __11__ know where we might find the inspiration to create. As a __12__， most of my inspiration comes from other people's music. But I also find __13__ in other places. Books, movies and __14__ just moments in everyday life can lead to new creations.

I decided to make music that could create the same feeling as the __17__. It's not done yet, but the music I'm working on now is heavily __18__ by the movie's setting and characters.
