You also need to be strong. What do I mean by that Well, not everyone will like what you write. Sometimes people will say bad words about your work. You can't be angry with these people. You have to try to take no notice of them and keep working.
You have to be good at talking to people too. Journalists find out most of their information by talking to people. Not everyone wants to talk to a journalist so you need to let people trust you.

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved reading crime novels and detective (侦探) 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 (职业) 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 have a steady job, 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 (妥协), 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 that my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance(浪漫)novelist. 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 the 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'd 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.
31.Hazel is probably .
A. an agent
B. a journalist
C. a teacher and artist
D. a teacher and writer
32.What does 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.
33.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 novels
34.Hazel finally realized that her parents' advice on her career was .
A. helpful B. exciting
C. disappointing D. risky
35. What can we infer from the passage
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.

Songs about growing up
Songs about growing up are very important to teenagers. They can always get a response(反应) from teenagers in some way. While listening to the songs, old or new, teenagers can always feel themselves or understand themselves.
a. Songs about being a teenager
Growing up isn't always easy. Teens always want to be independent, but parents have a hard time letting go. There can be moments of worry, uncertainty and even anger. Some songs speak of those feelings and can help them get through this period.
b. Songs about dreams
As teenagers grow, they're likely looking forward to the day when they'll be able to work hard to achieve their dreams. The Westlife's song I have a dream is well-known. The key lyrics(歌词) are "I have a dream, a song to sing. To help me cope(处理) with anything...You can take the future even if you fail". This song has encouraged so many teenagers to fight for their dreams.
c. Graduation songs
Graduation songs are perfect for graduation parties and get-togethers with friends. As they graduate, they can sing "Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten...".
When teenagers grow up, they find childhood is a bittersweet(苦乐参半的) time. They've looked forward to the day for so many years and finally it is here.However, they may not be sure about whether they're ready for it. At this time, listening to songs about the sweet days of childhood can always make them relaxed.
