There are two paths (路) in life: Should and Must. We arrive at these crossroads again and again. And each time, we have to choose.

Should is how others want us to show up in the world—what we should or shouldn’t do. When we choose Should, we’re choosing to live our life for someone or something other than ourselves. The journey to Should can be smooth, and the risk is small.

Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest self. Must is why Van Gogh painted his whole life without ever receiving public recognition (认可). Must is why Reyna Marder Gentin started to write for the first time after 23 years of being a lawyer.

Choosing Must sounds fantastic, right? To choose Must is to say yes to hard work and endless effort, to say yes to a journey without a road map or tour guides.

How can we actually choose Must?

Ask yourself, “What is my Must?” If you don’t know the answer, write down your biggest, most impossible dreams! Don’t worry! It’s just the first step.

Now, think about what’s actually in your way. Is it your parents? Maybe they’re just worried that you haven’t thought it through. Try to make a practical plan for what you want to do. Your parents may find it a good one. Is it money? Well, the best way to make money is to do what you love because it’s very likely that you will pay great attention to it. Choosing Must doesn’t mean we need to give up everything we already have. It’s about changing one small thing at a time.

If you believe that you have something special inside of you, it’s about time you give Must a try—today.

1. What happens if we choose the path of “Should”?
A.We don’t need to take great risks.B.We have to give up what we have.
C.We’ll have a clear picture of ourselves.D.We have to live our life for ourselves.
2. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 3?
A.By listing numbers.B.By asking questions.
C.By giving examples.D.By comparing.
3. According to the writer, which of the following is suitable for the journey to Must?
A.Smooth and exciting.B.Hard and challenging.
C.Impossible and foolish.D.Easy and educational.
4. If we choose the path of “Must”, which of the following is NOT true?
A.We’d better make sure what our Musts are.B.We’d better make a practical plan.
C.We’d better make money for our Musts.D.We’d better change a lot at a time.
5. Why do you think the writer wrote this passage?
A.To take others’ advice.B.To encourage us to be our truest self.
C.To tell us something about his choice.D.To tell us to do what others want us to do.
