C. Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)
Isabel Allende’s novels are enjoyed all over the world. She is famous for her creativity and imagination. And her own personal story is as amazing as any she has ever told in a novel. Born in 1942, Allende’s family moved often during her childhood. She went to school in South America, Europe, and Asia. As a young woman, she became a journalist in Santiago, Chile’s(智利)capital city. Then, she got married and had two children. In 1970, everything began to change.
Leaving home
Isabel Allende’s uncle was a political leader named Salvador Allende. In 1970, her uncle was elected president of Chile. In 1973, Augusto Pinochet led a military takeover(军事接管)of the Chilean government. President Allende was killed during the fighting. When Isabel Allende began to fear for her life, she and her family decided to move to Venezuela(委内瑞拉).
From Newspaper to Novels
It was really a painful experience for Isabel Allendo to flee her country. Without this experience, however, Allende says she never would have begun writing novels. Then she got a phone call from Chile. Her grandfather was dying. She knew she could not return home to be with him, but she wanted to respect him in some way. “I decided to write a letter about all the things he told us when we were young.” Allende explains. Later, she wrote a long letter which became Allende’s first novel, The House of the Spirits.
The Writing Life
“I spent ten, twelve hours a day in a room, writing,” Allen says, “I don’t talk to anybody; I don’t answer the phone.” When she finishes the first draft(草稿)of a new novel, Allende mails a copy to her toughest critic(最严厉的评论家).“I send it to my mother in Chile. She reads it and comes here with a red pencil. We fight for a month at least.” Allende then goes back to work until she feels the book is finished. “The storytelling is the fun part,” she says. “The writing can be a lot of work!”
