When Amy wrote her first novel in secondary school, she never imagined that she would become a writer one day. Like many 16  writers on the Internet, the  17  woman got into this online world accidentally(偶然地).

Three years ago, Amy worked in a medical industry. Her job kept her busy for six months and left her almost  18  to do for the rest of the year. To fill the time, she started writing  19  on the Internet. Her first novel was about her neighbours and their life 20  she is familiar with.

Amy has been interested in writing  21  she was a child. At first, she just wanted to share her novels  22  people she knew. Then one day an editor of a famous website emailed her, asking her 23  she would like to sell the electronic copyright(授权) of one of her novels. She  24  immediately and the novel was moved to the VIP section of the website. She got $ 1,500 for that.

Now Amy is a full-time  25  . So far her eight novels have come out online, and five of them  26  .

“The Internet made me famous and brought me  27  ,” she said. “I earn much more money now— about $60,000 a year. I am 28  with my career, but there is one problem — that my talent might run out after five years and I’ll have to  29  to work in the medical industry.”

“Before that day comes, I’ll keep  30  for the readers with my light and close-to-everyday-life writing style,” said Amy with a smile.

In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution. They join in “environment clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.

Here are things students often do:

Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to

forty tons of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small water! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.

No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car-not the students and not the teachers. Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: walk, jump, bike or run.

Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!

No-garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch?

Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used

again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage

and report them to the whole school.

We love our environment! Let’s work together to make it clean!
