三、阅读理解阅读下列短文，从26～ ～40各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

• 3．The turning point of my life was when I chose to give up my business job and study music.My parents shared my love of music.However，they didn't think it was a good choice that I took up music as a job.Considering my family background，this was understandable in deed.My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College in Mobile，and though he was much loved by his students，he didn't earn enough to support his large family.Life was uneasy for us.As a result of this example in the family，my parents strongly asked me to go to the college instead of a conservatory （音乐学院） of music even if I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time on it.And I gave in because of their great expectation.
     Before my graduation from Columbia，the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job.That was why I took a business job，which I always consider as the wasted years.I went into it for money，for being able to help the family.Money is all I go out of jye.ai.It was not enough.I felt that life was passing me by.Work without love really makes me feel like a dead-alive person.
     My wish was to save enough to leave and then go to Burope to study music.I continued to make money，and finally，bit by bit，I earned enough to make myself able to go abroad.The family finally got out of the trouble.I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe.I stayed for four years，worked harder than ever and enjoyed every minute of it.
     "Enjoyed"is too soft a word. I walked on air.I can enjoy my own life.When I broke away from the business world，it was against the advice of my friends and family.They think that success is money，so the thought of giving up a good job for hobbies and dreams is foolish.But if I had stayed in business，I do not believe I would have made a success of living.I would have lost all those inner satisfactions，which money can never buy.
