I had four children at the time．While the children slept，I typed on my ancient typewriter．I wrote what I felt．It took nine months．I chose a（10）Cand mailed it．A month later I received a contract，an advance on payments，and a request to start（11）Aanother book．Crying Wind，which became a best seller，was translated into fifteen languages and sold worldwide．My first book also became required （12）Bin native American schools in Canada．
In the（13）Cyear I ever had as a writer I earned two dollars．In my best year I earned 36，000dollars．People ask what college I（14）B，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）A； it's fun and anyone can do it．Of course，a little dumb luck doesn't hurt．

11．A good reader becomes sooner or later a good book buyer．The sooner，the better．The reading done in a book drawn from a library can not be so pleasant at the moment nor so  permanently useful as the reading done in our own copy．
    A book which is worth reading is likely to be read more than once，and at each reading some idea or some statement makes such an impression that we wish to refer to it again． Some readers underline the page as they read，but I find that a page which I have underlined can not give me so many fresh impressions as one which has no marks on it．My habit is to make my own index（索引）of a book as I read．I put down the number of the page and a word or two to identify the thought or the fact which I get from it．On a second or third reading I am likely to double or triple the size of this index．This is my substitute for underlining．Most of the books in my library are so indexed that I can find quickly the passage which from time to time I wish to look up．
    To use a book in this way，organizing it for continued usefulness year after year，we  must，of course，do our reading in a copy which belongs to us．The books I buy are chiefly   those of less expensive editions．
    As I have grown older and the number of books on my shelves has increased，I appre-ciate editions which do not take much room．By careful and continuous selection I keep my  librarv down to ten thousand books．This would be，of course，too large a number for any but a professional scholar or writer．But my advice to a book lover is to weed but his library  at least once every two years，giving away the books which are not likely to be read again．And never never buy a book which you will not immediately read．A library bought only for looks is not literature，but indoor decoration．
61．Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the first paragraph？
A
A．Reading your own book benefits you more than reading a copy from a library．
B．Reading a book at home is more pleasant and useful than doing it in a library．
C．Reading a book in a library is more pleasant and useful than doing it at home．
D．A book drawn from a library cannot take as much time as your own copy．
62．What is the disadvantage of underlining according to the author？C
A．Underlined books look old and not worth reading．
B．The lines make it difficult for the reader to concentrate．
C．Underlined books cannot give the reader enough fresh impressions．
D．The reader cannot find the passage he or she wishes to read again．
63．What would the author's index look like after a third reading？B
A．It contains the number of the page and a word or two．
B．It contains the number of the page and 3 to 6 words．
C．It numbers the page，the paragraph and the lines．
D．It fills the cover of the book with numbers and words．
64．Which of the following books would the author most probably like to keep？D
A．Big expensive good books．   
B．Thin and cheap books．
C．Books with lots of pictures．   
D．Good books in cheap，thin editions．
65．Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph？B
A．The writer has read only some of the books in his library．
B．The writer is a professional scholar or writer．
C．The writer has never given away any books in his library．
D．The writer's library is indoor decoration rather than literature．
