五、完形填空
Angela has been crazy about writing since she was young. She got her first lesson in storytelling from 1 grandfather, who gave her words of love. He set off her imagination and influenced her a lot. Angela always had stories running through her head and as soon as she could write, she put them 2 on paper.
Angela 3 remembered the call that changed her life. It was Tuesday, 18th February, when the 4 rang in the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. On the line was Marty Banderas, a literary agent(代理)to whom she had sent a draft of her novel three weeks earlier. She asked Angela some 5 information, like age and health condition. Angela felt 6 and asked what that was about. Banderas only replied, “I’ve just sold your 7 for one and a half million dollars!”
She sat down in shock. She had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been 8 by publishers(出版商). Many people would have been discouraged 9 not her. Each time, she just got down to writing another one. Her husband advised her to find something else to do, but she never 10. Seeing this book published was the most 11 thing that had never happened to her.
Now she is a 12 of three children, but she has never stopped 13, turning out novels between kids and dishes. She is writing another novel now. And she expects another success. Yes, her belief has brought her 14, and it has changed her life 15. Angela is fully confident that she will enjoy a more successful and meaningful life as long as she keeps on with her dream.
