Almost each Chinese child has heard or read Journey to the West﹣one of the most famous Chinese（1） （tradition） classics． All of them like the main character﹣the Monkey King or Sun Wukong． However， it wasn't popular（2） 1970s in England． In November 1979，pupils in England were able to watch a new program called Monkey．Most of them were hearing this story for the（3） （one） time．
The Monkey King isn't（4） usual monkey． In fact， he sometimes doesn't even look like a monkey! This is because he can make seventy﹣two changes to his shape and size，（5） _ （turn） himself into different animals and objects． But unless his tail（6） （hide）， he can't turn himself into a man．（7） （fight） bad people， the Monkey King uses a magic stick． Sometimes he can make the stick small enough to keep it in his ear． At other times， he can make it big and long．
The Monkey King（8） （excite） the children of China for many years． And as soon as the TV came out more than 30 years（9） ， Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help（10） （weak）and never gives up．
How do people find their inner talent？ British author and speaker Sir Kenneth Robinson talked about this at TED． He told the story of Gillian Lynne， a dancer and a choreographer（编舞者） who has worked on famous musicals like Cats and Phantom of the Opera （《歌剧魅影》）．
（1） She couldn't think carefully about she's learning， and often found herself unable to keep still because she was bored． Her mother was quite worried about her．She took Lynne to a doctor．For 20 minutes， she talked about the problems Lynne was having in school．（2） As they left the room，the doctor turned on the radio． He then said to Lynne's mother，"Just stand and watch her．"（3） 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．（4） 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．（5） ．
Those who never did well in school needn't worry． Find your inner talent like Lynne，you can also succeed．
