Take some writing tips from famous writers.Hilary mantel-a little pride can be a great helpThe most helpful quality a writer can develop is self-confidence - pride, if you can manage it. You write to make the world accept your ideas, and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you.Leo Tolstoy and HP Lovecraft-pick the hours that work best for youTolstoy believed in starting first thing: “I always write in the morning. I was pleased to hear lately that Russeau, too. After he got up in the morning, he went for a short walk and sat down to work. In the morning, ones head is particularly fresh. The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking while you are still in bed or during the walk.”Or stay up late as HP Lovecraft did: “At night, when the objective world has left dreamers to their own world, there come inspirations (灵感) at quiet hours. No one knows whether or not he is a writer unless he has tried writing at night.”William Faulkner-read to write“Read, read, read everything-rubbish, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter (木匠)who works as a beginner and studies the master. Read! Youll take it in. Then write. If it is good, youll find out. If its not, throw it out of the window.”21.

Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and write book reports. She would mark them up with check marks. Years later we realized her marks were a trick. My mother had only received a third-grade education. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went form being an A- student to a B- student to a C-student, but I didnt care.One night my mother came home and I complained about not having enough shirts. She said, “Okay, Ill give you all the money I make this week cleaning floors and bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything left over, you can have all the shirts you want.”I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配) money, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less buy clothes.I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasnt going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual(理智的) preparation. I went back to my studies and became an A-student again. I dreamed of becoming a doctor when I was just a kid. And now I have achieved my dream.Over the years my mothers changeless faith in God has inspired me, particularly when I found myself faced with my own medical illness. A few years ago I discovered I had a very serious cancer; I was told it might have spread to my spine(脊柱). My mother believed in God very much. She never worried. She said that God would never throw me away forever; there was no way that this was going to be a major problem. The abnormality in spine turned out to be not bad; I was able to have surgery and am cured.My story is really my mothers story a woman little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children.24. When the author asked his mother to buy him shirts, she .A. advised him to earn money by himself B. asked him to try to manage their moneyC. persuaded him not to buy them patiently D. agreed to buy them for him immediately25. What do we learn about the author?A. He now works as a doctor. B. He disliked watching TV as a kid.C. He received little formal education. D. He often did housework when young.26.

In writing the passage, the author mainly shows us .A. the happy relationships in his familyB. the benefits of reading for young childrenC. the importance of formal education for adultsD. his mothers great influence on his developmentCMany people go to work each day to a job they hate. The harmful feelings influence their entire life, putting a negative cloud over the home, their friends and many of their other activities. There is a better way to live your life. Meaningful purpose is a driving force that adds enthusiasm to your days. Here are a few steps to get the new career rolling: Do some self-analysis. Ask yourself - What really matters to me? What problem or wrong would I like to fix? What do I enjoy? Where are my interests and hobbies? What are my priorities? What is my secret passion? What do I want to do with the rest of my life? Reviewing these questions can give you new insight to where you want to go. Use your unique genius and talents. Every person is born with a unique set of natural abilities. Talents, such as managing, creating, researching, training others, drawing, can all seem like easy work because you have a natural flair（才能）for them. True happiness comes from combining your natural talents, developing and excelling in them, and working in a field, job, industry that you have a passionate interest in. Make a decision. Only action can change your life. Read a book. Take vocational tests. Use a good career-management professional. Do some career exploration and gather all the information you need. Then make a decision and go forward. Outline the action steps to reach your career goal.

Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms. When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesnt it? It is my most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It costs over $600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admit it.However, Im not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some fashion sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades, searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expense of a trip to London to buy these? I dont think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have brought this blonde wig to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mothers friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for Western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.32. The writer is at the moment _.
