Advice on Writing from Famous Writers
◆Hilary mantel---a little pride can be a great help
The most helpful quality a writer can develop is self-confidence, if you can manage it. You write to impress yourself on the world, and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you.
◆Leo Tolstoy---pick the hours that work best for you
Tolstoy believed in starting first thing: “I always write in the morning. I was pleased to hear lately that Russeau, too, after he got up in the morning, went for a short walk and sat down to work. In the morning one’s head is particularly fresh. The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking while you are still in bed or during the walk.”
◆William Faulkner---read to write
Read, read, read everything---rubbish, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter (木匠)who works as a beginner and studies the master. Read! You’ll take it in. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.
◆Katherine Mansfield---writing anything is better than nothing
Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Even it was rubbish. But it’s far better to write rubbish or anything than nothing at all.
21. What should you have in writing according to Hilary Mantel?
A. Courage to begin. B. Rich knowledge. C. Sense of pride. D. Opportunities. 22. What did Leo Tolstoy and Rousseau have in common?
A. They went for a short walk after rising. B. They chose to write in the morning. C. They started to work while in bed. D. They got up at the best time. 23. What did Katherine Mansfield value in writing?

After joining the Army in 1942, I was shipped overseas to serve in England. One day, I talked a friend into walking to the nearby town of Aldeburgh. On our return trip, as we were nearing the base, we saw a girl walking her bike in the opposite direction. She introduced herself as Doris and said she had planned to meet a soldier, but he hadn\'t shown up. I offered to get my bike from the base and go home with her to Aldeburgh. She agreed, and after biking back together, we decided to meet again.
Several months later, the war in Europe ended and my base was shutting down; I had no idea where I would be sent. I went to Aldeburgh to see Doris and tell her the news. She cycled halfway back to the base with me before we said our final goodbyes. Doris recalls, “I was heartbroken, knowing I was losing someone who meant so much to me.”
Unexpectedly, I was moved to a site in Elveden to help close down that base. I would be only 60 miles away from Aldeburgh, so I could pick up a ride back to see Doris! It wasn\'t long before we decided to get married.
In 1946, I returned to the States and brought my beautiful bride home. We’ve been happily married for 67 years and have four sons, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. All this was because of several fortunate experiences! 24. Why did Doris go out on her bike?
A. To send the author home. B. To meet the author. C. To visit the base. D. To go on a date. 25. Where did the author and Doris say goodbye sadly?
A. In Elveden. B. On the road. C. In Aldeburgh. D. In the author’s base. 26. What was the author’s task in Elveden?
A. To shut the base. B. To protect the base. C. To destroy the base. D. To build the base. 27. What did the author think of his marriage?
A. Fanny. B. Difficult. C. Lucky. D. Fancy.

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then you’d better get it right. Picking a healthy, filling breakfast can set your day up for a chain of good food choices. Best of all, there’s a way to lose weight by adding to your morning meal instead of cutting foods out.
Berries(浆果)don’t just help you put fresh produce into a breakfast, but they have some specific benefits that can help you lose weight. For one thing, they’re full of fiber---you’ll get about a third of your daily need in just one cup of raspberries. Your body can’t break that fiber down, so it slows down digestion and keeps you fuller longer until lunch.

But that’s not all. A study found that adults whose diets had the most amounts of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and other produce---were less likely to gain weight. Plus, some studies in mice suggest raspberries could speed up the breakdown of fat. Those studies used higher concentrations(浓缩)than you’d get from a bowl but they might still provide some benefit. If blueberries are more your thing, another study found that eating the fruit lowered a certain matter, which makes it hard to lose weight, and reduced fat in fat rats.
