Hints:
Garden of EdenWhen I was ten years old, one of my older cousins gave me a microscope. The first time I looked through its magic lens, the clouds that surrounded my daily life rolled away. I saw a universe of tiny living creatures in a drop of water. Day after day, night after night, I studied life under my microscope.
The fungus that spoiled my mother's jam was, for me, a land of magic gardens. I would put one of those spots of green mold under my microscope and see beautiful forests, where strange silver and golden fruit hung from the branches of tiny trees. I felt as if I had discovered another Garden of Eden.
Although I didn't tell anyone about my secret world, I decided to spend my life studying the microscope.
My parents had other plans for me. When I was nearly twenty years old, they insisted that I learn a profession even though we were a rich family, and I really didn't have to work at all. I decided to study medicine in New York.在我十岁的时候，一个我的老叔叔给我一个显微镜。我第一次通过它神奇的镜片看周围：云朵在我每天的生活里溜走。我在一滴水里，在微小的生物中，看到了一个世界。日复一日，我在显微镜下了解我的生活。
霉菌弄脏了妈妈的睡衣，对我而言，却是一个神奇的天地。我把那些发绿的霉点放在显微镜下面，看到了美丽的森林，森林里，奇怪的闪亮的果实从微小的树枝间冒出来。我感到我彷佛发现了另一个伊甸园。
尽管我没将我的秘密世界告诉任何人，但我已经决定把我的余生用来学习显微镜。
我父母却对我另有安排。在我将近二十岁时，尽管我出身富裕并且根本用不着工作，他们还是坚持要我学一门职业。我决定去纽约学习医。
