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.

Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a __31__ about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper saying that someday he’d __32__ a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he __33__ drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.
He put a great deal of his __34__ into the project and the next day he handed it in __35__ his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a __36__ that read, “See me after class.”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “__37__ did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an __38__ dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of __39__. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no__40__ you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “__41__ you rewrite this paper with a more realisticgoal, I will reconsider your grade.”
The boy went home and thought about __42__ long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important __43__ for you.”
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the __44__ paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   45 .”
