  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   1   filled the room and brought the theater to life.I was so   2   that I decided to write an article about her.

  I   3   Salome Bey, telling her that I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career.She   4   and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday.When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind.I   5   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   6  , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that   7   Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible.The   8   was almost unbearable.I struggled for days with draft after draft.  9  , I put my manuscript(手稿)into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.

  It didn't take long.My manuscript   10  .How stupid of me! I thought.How could I   11   in a world of professional writers? Knowing I could hardly   12   the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

  Five years later, I was moving to California.While   13   my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope.This time I opened it and read the editor's letter in a   14   way.

  Dear Ms Profit,

  Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic.Yet we need some   15   materials.Please add those and return the article immediately.We would like to   16   your story soon.

  Shocked, it took me a long time to   17  .Fear of rejection cost me dearly.I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine.More importantly, I lost years of   18   writing.Today, I have become a full – time writer.Looking back on this   19  , I learned a very important lesson-You can't   20   to doubt yourself.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的(A、B、C和D)四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  Criticism is judgement.A critic is a juoge muststudy and think about the material presented to him,accept it,correct it or reject it after thinking over what he has read,wateched or heard.

  That sort of critical reading might well be called creativereading because I am thinking along with the writer,asking him questions,seeing whether he answers the questions and how well he answers them.I mark the good passages to storethem in my memory and ask myself about every other part and about the complete piece of writing where,how and why I could or should improve upon it.

  Don't believe those who say that bad reading cannot hurt a person.How do they know what will hurt others?Wouldn't you rather believe the experience of the aged that say,“Aman is what he has read”and“Our reading and studies carryover into our lives”?

  Let's get back to the beneficial effects of thinking whilereading.It helps us to enlarge our minds.We understandmore about the universe,its people and many of its wonders.We learn to think and observe in new ways.We certainly doget a feeling for the language we are reading.All good writersin any language have been readers who read critically and creatively and continuously.

  Reading critically also helps me to develop and refine my emotions to the point where I can tell whether a report,a story or a poem is genuinely humane(高雅的)or not— whetherthe writer is an honest writer.

  Finally,reading will and must broaden my sympathies,expand my love for others and set it in action.How can a per-son who has a hit of kindness in his heart read about all the miseries and tragedies that people and nations have and not want to do and actually do what he can to relieve those peoplein every way he can and as much as he can?

(1)

By creative reading the writer means ________

[  ]

A.

raising questions and answering them for the author

B.

reading and giving comments on the materials one has read

C.

thinking in the same line with the author

D.

storing up facts in one's memory

(2)

According to the writer,critical reading ________

[  ]

A.

makes a person intelligent

B.

makes a person rich

C.

enables a person to write fluently

D.

gives a person extra work

(3)

We learn from the passage that all good authors ________

[  ]

A.

have a thorough insight to the problems in life

B.

observe and imitate the ways other authors write

C.

have the feeling of the language they write in

D.

have read extensively and critically

(4)

According to the last paragraph,reading makes a person ________

[  ]

A.

romantic

B.

sensitive to the feelings of others

C.

sympathetic to the miseries of his fellow-men

D.

a good writer
