When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students smiled unkindly,   36   nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be   37  , only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so ashamed I burst into   38  . That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my   39  , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed, “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I  40 success. I’d sold the first thing I’d   41 written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems and letters. By the time I graduated from high school, I had scrapbooks (剪贴簿)  42   my published works. I never   43   my writing to my teachers, friends or my family   44   because they were dream killers.
I had four children at the time.  45   the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months. I chose a   46   and mailed it. A month later I received a contract, an advance on payments, and a request to start   47 another book. Crying Wind, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and sold worldwide. My first book also became  48  reading in native American schools in Canada.
The   49  year I ever had as a writer I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36,000 dollars. People ask what college I   50  , what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I use an electric typewriter that I paid a hundred and twenty nine dollars  51  six years ago. I do all the housework and  52   my writing in a few minutes here and there. I’ve written eight books. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right   53   I’ve succeeded. Writing is   54  , it’s fun and anyone can do it.   55  , a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.

举一反三
What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others, and these may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
   Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
   Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school records, for instance, may not be very good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
小题1:In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part-time job is probably ________.
A.a good way to find out his weak points
B.one of the best ways of earning extra money
C.of great use for his work in the future
D.a waste of time he could have spent on study
小题2:If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he ________.
A.may do well in his future work
B.won’t be able to find a suitable job
C.may be a complete failure in the future
D.will regret not having worked harder at school
小题3: The whole passage centers around ________.
A.looking for a part-time job
B.developing one’s abilities at school
C.gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D.knowing yourself before trying to choose a career

The Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.
More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghai-­based Wenhui Daily reported.
The World Health Organization predicted that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence (发生) of crime, drug­taking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.
Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable (不稳定的) emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the one-­child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.
Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one-­child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well­being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling (咨询) to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40­minute counseling lessons,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
小题1: What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To urge awareness on mental health of the young.
B.To give details of the problems the Chinese youth are facing today.
C.To recommend that schools should invite more psychologists to help students.
D.To show us causes of the mental problems among students.
小题2: The underlined word “addressed” in the fourth paragraph most probably means ________.
A.talked aboutB.dealt withC.decidedD.introduced
小题3:From the passage we can know that the causes of mental problems are mainly the following EXCEPT ________.
A.one­-child policy
B.lack of ability to handle interpersonal relations well
C.lack of special training in mental health
D.heavy burden from study
小题4: We can learn that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth, ________.
A.special attention should be paid to the mental health of the young
B.psychologists must be a necessary part of schools
C.the government should cancel tests to ease the pressure on the students
D.parents must try their best to meet all the needs of their children
