Throughout the years of changing 36 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother.For both my 37 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher.She played these roles while 38 some type of part-time job.Leaving a promising career is just one of the 39 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. 40 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, 41 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 42 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 43 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability (无能) to 44 a career or establish a home.But it was not for my mother.She turned this 45 into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to 46 another part of the world.My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood.Each new house was a 47 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 48 pictures.Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 49 attitude.She always had strength in the face of struggle and change.My mother was so 50 all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change.She is my hero.

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students smiled unkindly, 36 nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be 37 , only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so ashamed I burst into 38 . That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my 39 , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed, “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I 40 success. I’d sold the first thing I’d 41 written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems and letters. By the time I graduated from high school, I had scrapbooks (剪贴簿) 42 my published works. I never 43 my writing to my teachers, friends or my family 44 because they were dream killers.
I had four children at the time. 45 the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months. I chose a 46 and mailed it. A month later I received a contract, an advance on payments, and a request to start 47 another book. Crying Wind, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and sold worldwide. My first book also became 48 reading in native American schools in Canada.
The 49 year I ever had as a writer I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36,000 dollars. People ask what college I 50 , what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I use an electric typewriter that I paid a hundred and twenty nine dollars 51 six years ago. I do all the housework and 52 my writing in a few minutes here and there. I’ve written eight books. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right 53 I’ve succeeded. Writing is 54 , it’s fun and anyone can do it. 55 , a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.

Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school records, for instance, may not be very good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
小题1:In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part-time job is probably ________.
A.a good way to find out his weak points |
B.one of the best ways of earning extra money |
C.of great use for his work in the future |
D.a waste of time he could have spent on study |
A.may do well in his future work |
B.won’t be able to find a suitable job |
C.may be a complete failure in the future |
D.will regret not having worked harder at school |
A.looking for a part-time job |
B.developing one’s abilities at school |
C.gaining much knowledge by working hard at school |
D.knowing yourself before trying to choose a career |
