10．I left university with a good degree in English 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 didn't think I was any good，then finance，which I hated．Finally，I got 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 deep-down wish to write a novel．Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55，000words．
It takes confidence to make a new start-there's a dark period in-between where you're neither one thing nor the other．You're out for dinner and people ask what you do，and you're too ashamed to say，"Well，I'm writing a novel，but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there．"My confidence dived．Believing my novel could not be published，I put it aside．
Then 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 two-and-a-half years of no income，just waiting and wondering，a publisher offered me a book deal-that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for．
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck-of fate，really．When you set out to do something different，there's 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 publisher-to be a published writer-is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）．

7．One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming（宣告） that he had（61）the most beautiful（beautiful） heart in the whole valley．A large crowd （62）gathered（gather），and they all admired his heart for it was perfect．
Suddenly，an old man appeared and said，"Why，your heart is not nearly as beautiful as （63）mine．"The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart，which was full of scars．It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in，but they didn't fit quite right，and there were several jagged（锯齿状的） edges．In fact，in some places there were deep gouges（沟槽） where whole pieces were （64）missing（miss）．
The young man laughed．"Comparing your heart with mine，mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars．"
"Yes，"said the old man，"Yours looks perfect （65）butI would never trade with you．You see，every scar represents a person to （66）whomI have given my love．I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them，and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart．But because the pieces aren't exact，I have some rough edges，which I cherish，because they remind me of （67）thelove we shared．Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away，and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his or her heart （68）tome．These are the empty gouges．Although these gouges are painful，they stay open，（69）reminding（remind） me of the love I have for those people．So now do you see（70）what true beauty is？"

14．Memory，they say，is a matter of practice and exercise．If you have the wish and really made a conscious（自觉的）effort，then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things．But even if you are successful，there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you．
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen．One morning last week，for example，I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night，yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before．
Memory"trick"work the other way as well．Once in a while you remember not doing something，and then find out that you did．One day last month，for example，I was sitting in a barber（理发师）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut，and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office．
We always seem to find something funny and amusing（有趣的）in incidents caused by people's forgetfulness or absent-mindedness．Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years，and we never got tired of hearing new ones．Unfortunately，however，absent-mindedness is not always funny．There are times when"trick"of our memory can cause us great trouble．

Today I went to Berkeley, near our old neighborhood. I was a bit surprised by the increased number of homeless (alternatively housed) people walking around. I remember there are more in certain areas. So the first man who asked me for money got all my single bills. So when the second man asked me two minutes later, I said I was out because I gave all I had to the previous person.

I was headed to the grocery store for a coffee and after I left the store I walked out to find him as he had asked me for something because he was hungry and I invited him to go into the grocery store with me.

When I asked him what he wanted to eat, he just asked for vegetable and rice. He talked about how much better the vegetables were as we waited for our number to be called. While we waited he told me that he had slept outside last night on the sidewalk, that it was not good, and that he had come from Rwanda and was alone.

He was a gentleman. When I asked if he wanted more he said, this bowl of food would last him the whole day.

I don’t know what his circumstances were before he came to California, and wandering and begging on the streets could somehow be better because you just never know what had happened to him. He seemed like a kind soul who just needed some help like we all do. I am grateful I did a little to help him today.

1.Why did the author fail to give the second homeless man money?

A. He kept some money for others. B. He spent all his money shopping.

C. He didn’t take any money that day. D. He donated all her small money to the first man.

2.What does the underlined word“ it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. He was alone. B. He waited for his food.

C. He slept on the sidewalk. D. He was offered food.

3.How did the author feel about the homeless man?

A. Understandable. B. Pitiful.

C. Hopeless. D. Strange.

Our spiritual intelligence quotient(精神智商), or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.

Though we’re all born with SQ, most of us don’t even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.

Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude(独处) and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume(强度) in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.

Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.

Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as ‘What am I Feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?’

But don’t expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural forms of e-mail. ‘Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question,’ says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. ‘But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before.’

Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut(本能的) feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.
