When I was in the third grade,I was chosen to be the princess in the
school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practise my lines. But
once on the stage , every word 1 from ruy head. Then my teacher asked
me to change my role to be a narrator(解说者) for the play 2 I didn"t tell
my mother what had happened that day,she noticed my 3 and asked if I
wanted to take a walk in the garden. It was a lovely spring day. We
could see dandelions (浦公英) popping (乍开) 4 the grass in bunches
(束). I watched my mother bend down by one of thebunches. "I think
I"ll dig up (挖光 ) all these weeds (野草) , " she said. " From now
on , we"ll 5 have roses in this garden. "
" But I like dandelions , " I protested (抗议 ) . " All flowers
are 6 even dandelions !" My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes,
every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn"t it?" she asked
thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is 7 of people , too, " she added.
When I 8 that she had guessed my pain,l started to cry and told
her the truth. " But you will be a wonderful narrator," she said, 9 me
of how much Iloved to read stories" aloud.
Thanks to my mother"s encouragement ,I got to know everybody had
his or her own 1 in the world. I felt proud of the role in the play.

What will things be like in the year 2080? No one knows. But it is

Let"s make this a story about you in the year 2080. Our story will be
about one day only.
You wake up at seven in the morning. You get dressed. Guess what the

about today.
The breakfast is no work to fix. Why? The food may be ready for
eating. Now you start for work. But you don"t go by car. You step onto
a moving sidewalk. It moves you along to a train station. There you take
a train. How will it run? On one rail high over the street? Or will it ride
in air? Three o"clock comes. Your work is done for the day. " I"ll call
John , a friend of mine , " you say.
John answers the picture phone. You and he can hear and see each
other.
"What shall we do this Saturday?" you ask. " Shall we put on

A friend of mine was fond of (喜欢) drawing a horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always
began at the tail (尾巴). Now it is the western rule to begin at the head of the horse , that is why I was
surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any dilference whether the artist begins at the head
or the tail or the belly (肚子) or the foot of the house, if he really knows his business. And most great
artists who really know their business do not follow other people"s rule. They make their own rules.
Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar (奇特的) to himself, and the peculiarity means only
that he finds it more easy to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature (文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only
means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you
are not yet experienced (有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more
experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail. that is to say,
you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.

A. very well
B. in the way of western rule

A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse.
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people"s rule
3. You are not yet experienced because _____.
A. you don"t know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always ask the question.
D. you do not trust to your own powers
4. When you become more experienced you will _____.
A. never ask the question
B. often begin at the tail
