　　One of the most famous English writers was a woman called Jane Austen who lived in the late 18th century．At that time English women from educated, middle class families did not work－that is, they did not have jobs or work for money．Instead, they stayed at home to do things like organizing the house, sewing, reading books and writing letters．

　　Jane Austen was an unusual woman because she was determined to be a writer．She wanted to write about the ordinary lives of young women like herself－their hopes, dreams and problems．She finished her first novel when she was only 20 years old．By the time she was 24, she had finished two more．

　　Jane’s only problem was that no one wanted to publish her novels．Her father sent one to a publisher, but he refused to look at it．He didn’t think anyone would want to read about women’s lives．For fourteen years, Jane’s work remained unpublished and unread．

　　Finally, Jane decided she had waited long enough．She chose one of her novels Sense and Sensibility, and paid to have it published herself．Jane’s gamble(赌博)paid off．To the publisher’s surprise, every one of her books was sold．The publisher realized that women’s novels were interesting and agreed to publish all her other novels．

　　Jane Austen completed six books altogether, and all of them are still being read today．In the last few years, several of her novels have been made into films, including Sense and Sensibility, the novel which she had to publish herself all those years ago．

　　During Jane’s lifetime, some people looked down upon her novels．They said that no one would want to read about women and women’s lives．They believed that men’s lives were much more important and interesting．Now we know that they were very wrong．In fact, Jane Austen’s novels are wonderful because they tell us ________．They give us the details of life which are not recorded in history books．Her novels show us that although nearly 200 years have passed, and modern life is very different, people are still basically the same．

As far back as he could remember, Larry had longed to go to Hollywood and become a film star. The young man’s hopes for success were broken again and again, however. Hollywood just did not seem interesting. When he first came to California, Larry had decided never to give up and return home without success. Therefore, he kept on trying. Someday, he told himself, his big opportunity would come.

Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood’s big restaurants. His pay was basic, but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money, he managed to make a living. One day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car. Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture.

Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it. Then he stopped, jumped out, and ran over to the director. “Excuse me, sir, but I think it is only fair to tell you that it is now or never if you want me in your next picture. A lot of big companies are after me.”

Instead of pushing away the boy, the director laughed, then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man. “Come and see me tomorrow.”
