2 . Only geniuse ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s can become writers.” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so 3 that I burst into tears. That night I wrote a short 4 poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my 5 , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed, “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted 6 ; I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.
During the next two y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ears,I sold dozens of poems and letters. By the time I graduated from high school, I had scrapbooks (剪贴簿) 7 with my published works. I never 8 my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again because they were dream 9 .

A month later I received a contract, an advance on payments, and a request to start 11 another book. Crying Wind, which became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and sold worldwide. My first book also became required 12 in native American schools in Canada.
In the 13 year I ever had as a writer I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36,000 dollars. People ask what college I 14 , what degrees I have and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I use an electric typewriter that I paid a hundred and twenty nine dollars for six years ago. I do all the housework and fit my writing in a few minutes here and there. I’ve written eight books. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right but I’ve succeeded. Writing is 15 ; it’s fun and anyone can do it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.

完形填空七大实用解题技巧(二)
完形填空命题的基本形式是独立的语篇 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，它以自身的内容提供完整的语篇信息，但其中有时渗透着相关的如文化科学、历史地理、风俗民情等方面的知识。考生在做题时，若能积极地调动自己的文化背景和生活常识，巧妙地加以运用，特别是注意中西文化的差异，将会大大简化复杂的分析与判断过程，节省宝贵的时间，顺利地沿作者的思路阅读。
Ⅴ. 技巧五：背景常识
例：(2011·山东卷)
When they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) discovered that Black Wednesday were going to perform at our local theatre, they all bought __38__ for performance.
38. A. flowers B. drinks C. clothes D. tickets
主要是答题时通过分析词语习惯用法、固定短语等 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )搭配关系和句子结构，进行有效地判断推理，从而选出正确选项。因此，同学们平时要有意识地记忆一些常用的词语习惯用法、固定短语搭配，学会分析句子结构。这类题目要求我们不仅能够记忆这些词和词组，还要学会灵活使用，准确判断。常见句型的掌握也很重要。有些句型在经过反复使用刺激后，会形成一定的思维定式，这对确定题目答案很有帮助。
Ⅵ. 技巧六：注意习惯用语，熟记常见句型
例：(2011·陕西卷)
The s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )econd rich man, seeing the worrying situation, stopped for a short time and gave the villagers all his food and drink, since he could see that money would be of little __34__ to them.
34. A. interest B. concern C. use D. attraction
解答完形填空题需要考生进 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )行认真的阅读、理解、推理和判断，需要对4个选项进行仔细的辨别、分析，从而去伪存真。有时我们会遇到这样的情况，对某个题目的正确选项的含义、用法不甚明白， 但发现其他选项有显而易见的谬误。这时，我们可以尝试着用排除法。所谓排除法就是将干扰项逐项检查、验证，发现错误的选项立即剔除。随着选择范围的缩小，选中正确选项的几率逐渐增大。排除法如果运用得好，可以大大节省时间和精力。
Ⅶ. 技巧七：巧用排除方法，缩小选择范围
例：(2011·四川卷)
