I 38 Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She 39 and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 40 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 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 was just impossible. The 43 was almost unbearable. I 44 for days with draft after draft（草稿）. Finally I put my article into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My article 45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 46 in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 47 the refusal letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, while 48 my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in 49 :
Dear Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is nice. Yet we need some 50 materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to 51 your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to 52 . Fear of refusal cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars. More importantly, I lost years of 53 writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer. Looking back on this 54 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t 55 to doubt yourself.

举一反三
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding (编码). At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how” questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He had headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project.

阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白出的最佳选项。
Long time ago, if a child had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his 21 . Now, a child with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 22 .So, what makes blogging different from writing in a 23 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 25 that she does not want to 26 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She 28 about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 30 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 31 that my sister might read it!
The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I were angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 33 about her in my diary, she would never know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 35 read her blog and get angry.
There are also 36 to blogging, of course. If I were feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” 37 would know about it. However if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 38 respond（回应）and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people 39 in contact with their friends and to hear what the people 40 them are doing.
