literature, but no sense of what i wanted to do. over the next six years, i_was_treading_water,_just trying to earn an income. i tried journalism, but i didnt think i was any good, then finance, which i hated. finally, i get a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. i loved working with books, although the job that i did was dull.i had enough savings to take a year off work, and i decided to try to satisfy a deepdown wish to write a novel. attending a novel writing ma course gave me the structure i needed to write my first 55,000 words.it takes confidence to make a new starttheres a dark period inbetween where youre neither one thing nor the other. youre out for dinner and people ask what you do, and youre too ashamed to say, “well, im writing a novel, but im not quite sure if im going to get there.”my confidence dived. believing my novel could not be published, i put it aside.the i met an agent(代理商)who said i should send my novel out to agents. so, i did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. i felt a little hope that i might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, i finished the second half of the novel.the next problem was finding a publisher. after twoandahalf years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book dealthat publisher turned out to be the one i once worked for.it feels like an unbelievable stroke of luckof fate, really. when you set out to do something different, theres no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where i now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisherto be a published writeris unbelievably rewarding(有回报的)56. what does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean?ai was waiting for good fortune.bi was trying to find an admirable job.ci was being aimless about a suitable job.di was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.57. the author decided to write a novel_.ato finish the writing course bto realize her own dreamcto satisfy readers wishdto earn more money58. how did the writer feel halfway with the novel?adisturbed. bashamed. cconfident. duncertain.59. what does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?ait pays to stick to

mortgages (按揭), the interest rates, and rising prices. heres a guide to some of the words and phrases you might come across. its a good idea in the uk to arrange a mortgage with a bank before you start looking. this is when the bank tells you how much money they will lend you so you have a good idea of how much you can afford. the next step is to go to an estate agent and see what sort of properties they have available in your budget range and in your area. if you see something you like, the estate agent will arrange for you to view the property, so that you can see the house or flat for yourself. if you see something that takes your eye, you put in an offer. the vendor (卖家) can accept or decline this offer, and if the vendor accepts it, you can move forward with the sale. however, as you dont pay any money at this point, the offer isnt legally binding (具有约束力), and in theory, you can pull out of the offer at any time that you like. your next step will probably be to get a structural survey done. a qualified surveyor will inspect the house and write a report that illustrates any structural problems, like damp or drainage problems. if you still want to go ahead with the sale, you need to appoint a lawyer to do the legal paperwork. if you already own a house, you might also be busy trying to sell it. many house owners prefer to sell to first-time buyers (those people who dont already own a home), as they are not in a chain (waiting for other people to buy the house before they can buy their next house). finally, once the contracts are signed and exchanged, you complete on your house. you get the keys and you can move in whenever you want. then you might want to throw a house-warming party. congratulations!60. which of the following shows the right order of what happens before the people in the uk move into a new house? a. ask for a company which represents others of properties b. decide how much to borrow from the bank c. examine the structure of the house d. hire a lawyer and make a contract e. offer the seller the right money f. visit the house and discuss a price with the sellera. b, a, f, d, c, e b. b, a, f, c, d, e c. b, a, f, e, d, c d. b,

to visitorscwe chat with our colleagues all the time when we have lunch，gossip in the tearoom，or leave work together. sharing your personal life brings you closer to your co-workers and builds trust within your team. but revealing too much about yourself to colleagues, managers or human resources staff can cause difficulties and even endanger your work.it s important to keep the right balance between getting along with colleagues and maintaining your privacy, “communication in the office is tricky and complicated. you can neither spread chatter, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others, said yang yudan, deputy hr director at p&g,according to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as the weather or movies. women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. but discussing your private life, such as relationship，habits or health conditions, is a potential minefield.liang kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company in guangzhou last week after discussing her income with colleagues during a lunch break. “i didn t realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why i got a higher salary than her ,”said liang. then our hr told me that according to the employee handbook it is forbidden to talk about salary in the office. ” hr expert yang also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. it is unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are.to summarize, yang advises office workers to be more aware of the image they project when talking to colleagues, “ when you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume and may slow clown your career progressing.
