It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more. But in order to work up the desire to rewrite, it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers’ opinions. One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we’re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down .Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work..
Different from popular belief, we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as “mentalese”), and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language. But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (織錦),writing can only be composed one thread at a time .Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple. It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.
When people write as if some strict critics (批評家) are looking over their shoulder , they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start. Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem .When writing we should have two different minds. At the first stage, we should see every idea, as well as the words we use to express it, as wonderful and worth putting down. It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.
68. What do we learn from the text about those famous writers?
A They often regret writing poor works
B Some of them write surprisingly much .
C Many of them hate reading their own works
D They are happy to review the publishers’ opinions.
69. What do people generally believe about the way human minds work?
A People think in words and sentences.
B Human ideas are translated into symbols
C People think by connecting threads of ideas.
D Human thoughts are expressed through pictures.
70. What can we conclude from the text?
A Most people believe we think in symbols.
B Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable.
C The writers and critics can never reach an agreement.
D Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work.

It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meeting in New York,So I had to get back . But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.

One of the most common social fears is that we are not good enough. Perhaps you feel you won’t 21 others because they are more confident, successful, intelligent or attractive than you. Such thinking is misguided. The 22 of doing well is accepting yourself as you are.
When I was a student, I kept a diary filled with 23 memories. Some were painful memories from 24 when I felt hurt, confused, lonely and insecure. I 25 pieces of dreams and personal feelings of anger and hatred, 26 things I enjoyed such as magic shops and coin dealers.
Then a terrible thing happened. 27 dinner one night I realized I had left my diary in the cloakroom(衣帽間)outside the campus dining hall. 28 that somebody might read it and find out the truth about me, I 29 back, but it was gone.
Weeks passed, and eventually I gave up hope of ever finding it 30 . A month later, I was 31 up my jacket in the same place when I saw my brown 32 diary, just where I’d left it.
33 I read through the pages and found that a 34 had written the following, “God bless you. I’m 35 like you, only I 36 keep a diary, and I’m 37 to know there are others like me. I hope things turn out well for you.”
Tears came to my eyes. It had never dawned(開始為人所明白)on me that any one could know my inner feelings and also 38 things just like the way I did.
No matter what you are like, whether you’re rich or poor, brilliant or average, attractive or 39 , there are people like you. Discard(拋棄)your fears of not measuring up(符合期望), and 40 yourself as you are.
