I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 　41 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 　42 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The 　43 was almost unbearable. I struggled for days 　44 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 　45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 　46 in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 　47 the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
