After her first   42  , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM.   43 , writing stories was simply a   44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商).     45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long   46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for   47  writer.”

  48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes   49  readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could   50  the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”

“Can I?

Senior three student will face the question after they pass by the college entrance examination. Should I choose a good major and a good university? Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested. It will also make it possibly for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one’s development.
