All the students nearly fell out of their chairs, laughing at me. “Don’t be 31 . Only geniuses (天才) can become writers,” the English teacher said sarcastically（讽刺地）. “And you are getting a D this term.” I was hurt deeply and I cried sadly. That night I wrote a short, sad poem about 32 dreams and mailed it to the Capper’s Weekly newspaper. To my surprise, they published it, and sent me two dollars. I was a（an） 33 writer! I showed my teacher and my classmates. They laughed again. “Just plain dumb luck,（纯属侥幸）” the teacher said. However, I’d tasted 34 . I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written.

People ask what college I attended, what degrees I have, and what qualities I have to be a writer. The answer is 40 . I just write. I’m not a genius, and I’m not gifted. I just write. To all those who dream of 41 , I’m shouting at you, “Yes, you 42 ! Don’t listen to them!” Writing is easy. It’s fun, and anyone can do it. 31. A. shy B. dishonest C. silly D. proud 32.
