Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.I was 23 before my first novel appeared in the bookshops. It had been a challenge to find a publisher who would even look at it. As soon as they heard that it was about teenagers and their problems, they just werent interested._75_ one of them read it and loved the way I try to show the funny side of any difficult situation. Im quite _76_ teenagers now, and some even say hello when they see me in the street.Im not sure where my stories come fromthats like asking people to tell you where their dreams come from. Some writers get _77_ from other writers work theyve read, but I keep a notebook and I put down interesting things I notice wherever I go. Those things come into my stories.I write full time now and I love it, but its hard work. I write everything out by hand, and after Ive corrected it, I type it on my computer. Im OK at _78_ and Ive done some pictures for my books, but one day I met a professional artist, John Brookes, who now does most of them and theyre a great improvement on my efforts.Recently one of my books was made into a film, which was an exciting experience. I didnt write the dialogue between the charactersother writers did that very well.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.I recently took part in a very exciting five-week trip for teenagers, to volunteer at an international wildlife study centre, off the coast of a country far from where I live. The a_81_ of the center was to help protect wildlife. So the project I signed up for included attending classes about wildlife, and going on daily dives under water to collect important information for the scientists back at the centre.We were w 82 by staff about our accommodation（食宿）before we arrived at the center. Sure enough, when we got there, we were shown to some small wooden hutswhere we would live. They were quite b_83_: no indoor washroom and no fridge, so our meals were all vegetarian. However, I hadnt eaten meat for years, so it was perfect for me.The day after our arrival, we started our t_84_-learning the names of all the different fish, and how to count and describe them in a way that would be useful to the scientists. We also learnt about a very important underwater creature called coral. However, this creature is now in danger because of problems such as global warming. So a_85_ we did very little work involving the coral itself, we really felt our work in helping local sea creatures was essential.Every day at the study centre was amazing, but there was one in particular when I was under the water as usual, with mydiving buddy，collecting data on the fish in the area. I s_86_ looked up-and found myself face to face with two absolutely beautiful fish. My partner and I decided to spend our last few minutes under the water withthese amazing creatures. As we got nearer to the fish, they didnt seem at all w_87_ about us, and just watched us in an interesting way, before swimming off towards the coral reef. Unforgettable!D.

Why did you choose your exchange programme there?Linda: Well. None of my friends had been there or anything like that but my grandfather spent some time there when he was young and he said I should visit one day and Id planned to do that as soon as I could. So when I had the opportunity to go to Europe, it seemed like the obvious place to go.Interviewer: But you were only 15. Was there anything you found difficult about living in a foreign country?Linda: Well, the family I stayed with in the Netherlands were really kind and I wasnt lonely because I shared theroom with one of their daughters. She helped me get used to my new routine. The only thing thatwas hard was the one-kilometre bike ride to school everyday! I enjoyed it in the summer but in winter was terrible.Interviewer: And _91_?Linda: It was OK because there were a lot of classes in English. And they gave me projects to do when there were subjects in Dutch I couldnt understand. The school was very modern and much bigger than most schools in Australia. The library was fantastic and they also had a lot more science labs than my school at home.Interviewer: What about the students?Linda: Oh, they were really friendly. They gave me lots of advice about places I should visit. Theyd all travelled a lot more than me, though no one had been to Australia. But what I found really strange was that theyd never thought about going away from their families for several months like me. Some of them couldnt understand how I could do that.Interviewers: So is this an experience you would recommend?Linda: Oh, definitely! I benefit a lot from the programme. And I think six months was the right amount of time.I needed that amount of time to learn the language. But after six months I really needed to see my parents.I was so h
