Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved reading crime and detective novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn’t. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career, and not something as risky as writing, I suppose I could have studied journalism, but I didn’t want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise, especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice: by the time I was twenty-five, I’d already finished two novels and had an agent.
To be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don’t know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance RRD novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought. Well, if you think it’ll make me successful, okay. “I’d totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I’d written it. She even offered to lend it to me after she finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies, but I think my parents probably did me a favor: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.
8. Hazel is probably_______.
A. an agent B. a journalist
C. a teacher and artist D. a teacher and writer
9. The underlined words "is very big on" in the passage most probably mean_______.
A. to give no advice B. to like something very much
C. to have more experiences D. to misunderstand something
10. It’s clear that Hazel_______.
A. agreed to study journalism for a degree
B. accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name
C. would like to write something for teaching
D. told her workmates about her writing novels
11. We can infer from the passage that______.
A. Hazel likes showing off in public
B. Hazel’s students all want to write novels
C. Hazel’s agent has played a role in her success
D. older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel
One weekend, Taylor, an eight-year-old girl, went shopping with her parents. She asked her parents to buy a toy she wanted. Instead of giving her money to buy the toy, Taylor’s father encouraged her to make money by herself. “How can I make money ” Taylor thought for a while and had an idea. Why not make cakes and sell them at church to raise money to buy the toy
The next day, Taylor started her plan. She first needed some money for tools and materials. So she borrowed $ 40 from her parents and promised to pay it back. Then she began to make cakes by herself. To her parents’ surprise, she made $ 175 by selling the cakes that Sunday.
Everyone thought Taylor would buy the toy she wanted. She certainly had made enough money for it, but she didn’t. Instead, Taylor decided to buy business cards and had her father’s phone number on them. Then she began handing the cards out. More people knew Taylor and came to buy her cakes. Even large companies began to try buying her delicious cakes.
Though Taylor has made a lot of money, she still works hard at school. She also likes to take part in other activities. So Taylor must carefully manage her time. For example, instead of watching TV after school, Taylor might have to bake a lot of cakes for customers. When she has dance lessons on some days, she needs to get her baking done on time so she isn’t late for class.
Making cakes may take time and be hard work, but Taylor sees the fun in it. “I think making cakes is mostly my hobby,” she says. She also decorates the boxes that are used to pack the cakes. Taylor uses all kinds of decorations to make sure each box looks special for her customers. People love the extra feeling Taylor gives them by decorating the boxes, so more and more people come for her cakes.
Taylor’s cakes are becoming very popular. She achieves a sweet success.
12. Taylor started selling cakes because_______.
A. she loved baking cakes very much
B. she wanted to make a lot of money
