Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so that I decided to write an article about her.

I Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career .She and told me to come to her Studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of mind. I I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.

I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…?” I soon realized that Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The was almost unbearable. I struggled for days draft（草稿）after draft. Finally I put my manuscript（手稿）into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.

It didn’t take long. My manuscript . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I

in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

Five years later, I was moving to California. While my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in :

Ms Profit,

Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to your story soon.

Shocked, it took me a long time to . Fear of rejection cost me greatly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and the chance of having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer. Looking back on this , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t to doubt yourself.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了作者在大一時(shí)非常喜歡Salome Bey的歌，就假裝自己是記者采訪她，想要為她寫篇文章。因害怕被雜志社退稿，因此在收到寄回的手稿后沒有拆封看信。五年后準(zhǔn)備搬家時(shí)清理物品，看到那封信，拆開之后才知道那是雜志社的編輯讓他寫出詳細(xì)細(xì)節(jié)材料后在寄回準(zhǔn)備給他發(fā)表的內(nèi)容，這讓他很后悔。這段經(jīng)歷讓他明白人不應(yīng)輕易懷疑自己，那會(huì)造成無法挽回的損失。
