Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s 21 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so 22 that I decided to write an article about her.
I 23 Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She 24 and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 25 I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 26 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 27 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The 28 was almost unbearable. I struggled for days 29 draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript 30 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 31 in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 32 the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While 33 my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in 34 :
Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some 35 materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to 36 your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to 37 . Fear of rejection cost me ly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of 38 writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this 39 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t 40 to doubt yourself.

If you’re planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via(经由)Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.
“Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing (令人难堪的).
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods.We were only a couple of blocks from home when I spotted a cell phone and a credit card sitting on the road.We took them home.We always find amazing things on the street and she looks upon them as a movable feast-a chicken wing here or a barbecue rib (肋骨)there.
I found another cell phone a few years back, too, and called a number in its phone book.I explained the situation to the guy who answered.He said it was his sister’s and that he’d come to pick it up, which he did.
And that was that.No verbal thank-you, no written thank-you, no “here’s a box of chocolates” thank-you.
I didn’t have time to call anyone on my latest found cell phone.I was pouring myself coffee when it started to shake and dance across the kitchen counter.
“Who’s this?” someone asked when I picked up.
“Who’s this?” I countered(反问).“Sarah?”
She was surprised at my knowing her name until she realized her name was on the credit card.“Could you send them to me?” she asked.
She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house.
“Hmm, no, ”I replied, adding that I thought she could come to get them, and that if I wasn’t at home, they would be in my mailbox.
A day later, when I was out for a run, someone got them back.There wasn’t even a piece of paper put in the mailbox with “Thanks” on it.In this age of e-mail and cell phone, there’s really no excuse.Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street:a driver’s license.I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up.He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door.
“I guess I could, ”I replied.
And that was that.
