Unit 5　Canada—“The True North” Section 　Warming Up Reading－Pre-readingⅠ.阅读理解 A All writers have their own special ways of getting words down－a favourite pen, a special place, even a certain time of day. Five famous writers tell you their secrets. Fay Weldon British novelist I get up at seven or eight and then I write until lunchtime. I dont write after lunch. I wrote by pen until about four years ago when I realised that the rest of the world used computers. Although I have a new laptop, I still prefer to use my old computer. Michael Morpurgo British childrens book writer I had problems some years ago sitting at a desk, because I got pains in my shoulder, so I decided to write in bed. Now, when I have a story in my head I go to bed with a small notebook and fill it up. I keep my manuscripts (原稿) in the fridge just in case the house burns down. John Mortimer British novelist I write in a room that used to be the garage (车库). Now its full of books and photographs, I write with a soft red pen on a notebook. Each page is almost exactly 300 words long. Simon Armitage British poet and novelist I used to be more nocturnal (夜间活动的), but since my daughter was born I try to keep more traditional hours. I have an office just outside the house above the garage where I keep my books and my treasures. I listen to music when Im writing. I have no love for my computer, although when its working we are great friends. Marina Lewycka Ukrainian novelist I write in bed, partly because its the most comfortable and private place and partly because I like to write either at the beginning or the end of the day. I drink an amount of tea and I work on a laptop. 【文章大意】　本文是记叙文。文章介绍了五位作家是如何进行写作的。 1．When does Fay Weldon write? A．In the morning. B．In the afternoon. C．After midnight.
