When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students sneered（冷笑）, the rest nearly 36 out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, only 37 can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so 38 that I burst into tears.

That night I wrote a short 39 poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my 40 , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and 41 writer. I showed it to my teacher and fellow students. They 42 . “Just plain dumb luck.” the teacher said. I tasted 43 and I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than what any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was 44 with me.

During the next two years I sold dozens of 45 , letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I 46 from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks（剪贴簿） filled with my published works. I never 47 my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and 48 people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their 49.

I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. I wrote what I felt. It 50 nine months, just like a pregnant woman. I mailed it without a self addressed stamped 51 and without making a copy of the manuscript(底稿).

A month later I received a（n） 52 , and a request to start working on another book. The worst year I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36, 000 dollars . 53 years I earned between five thousand and ten thousand. No, it isn’t enough to live on, but it’s still more than what I’d 54 working part time. People ask what college I 55 , 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.

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind;

Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display all ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together.”

Logo mania(品牌热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?

Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings won as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear; As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!

Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hollo Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!

61. The second paragraph indicate the importance of _____________.

A. impressing professors B. getting on well with classmates

C. creating a professional image D. dressing appropriately

C

Imagine shopping for clothes online and being able to run your hand across the screen on your computer to feel the fabrics．That kind of technology could be available within the next five years.

“We’re talking about reinventing the way computers operate and you interact with them as humans，”says IBM Vice President Bernie Meyerson．Extending sense of touch is one of five innovations (创新) that IBM believes will change the world in the next five years，according to the company’s annual “Five in Five” list．

Smart machines will also soon be able to listen to the environment and highlight the sounds we care about most．For instance，an advanced speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying．“From the sound the baby is creating，that particular frequency in the voice of the child，you know the difference between a child for instance who is sick as opposed to a child who is just lonely．”

In the near future，personal computers will be able to do more than recognize images and visual data．Their built-in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors，and understand the meaning of visual media，such as knowing how to sort family photos．

Smart machines will also be able to smell．If you sneeze on your computer, tiny sensors built in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules(分子)in your breath．Then it can tell you whether you need to see a doctor．
