　　解析　“After all”承前启后。

　　答案　D

　　Someone asked me this week if I thought we really can have“it all”．My immediate answer was“of course”，but after thinking it over，I concluded that it depends on a lot of things.In my opinion，the answer of whether or not you can have “it all” has to vary from person to person because we are all so different，and everyone has a differing definition(定义)of “it all”．In fact，I believe that even the same individual's definition of“it all”varies over his life.Most babies believe they have“it all”when they are in the arms of their mommy enjoying a good meal.That's all it takes！But，as those babies mature，their definitions become more complex，and they find“it all”becomes increasingly a private matter.

　　I have learned a lot of important life lessons during my search for“it all”．It began in Junior High School，when having“it all”meant having my own room，getting HBO，and being on the“A”volley ball team at school.And，yes，I achieved those goals and had“it all”．At least for a little while.Because the first lesson I learned about having“it all”was that as soon as you get“it all”，you want more!

　　In High School，I thought I only needed one thing to have“it all”．I wanted so badly to be a member of the Madrigal Singers，a famous choir sponsored by our school.I finally got up the nerve to audition(试音)，despite the fact that no one had ever told me I had a special singing talent or that my voice was unique.At least，until my audition，when the director of the choir had no problem told me how LITTLE talent I had！When I didn't make the choir，I learned that if my definition of having “it all” means having something that isn't a god－given gift，I will always be defeated.If，however，I choose to pursue goals that fit with the talents I have，the chance to have“it all”is unlimited.
