Writing a long book seemed to be too much for me.So，for a long time，I just wrote short articles.One day，inspiration (靈感) for an article hit me and，as I started writing，paragraphs began flowing out fast.It turned out to be too long to be an article.I thought it would not hurt to try self­publishing a booklet (小冊子)．The first printing of this 32­page black and white booklet sold out within a week.Here is something that I have learned through my experience.

1．Start small.

Don’t try to have a 400­page work as your first publication (出版物)．I suggest you publish a booklet under 50 pages to launch your career as an author.

2．Ask for advice.

If you know some people who have published something，ask them for advice and help.You will gain useful information from them and save yourself many problems.

3．____________________

When you put your heart into something only to hear “We’re not interested”，you may get hurt.But you must remind yourself that this is quite common.Every “yes” you receive comes after at least five “noes”，especially at the beginning.You need to revise (校訂) your book many times to reduce the chances of being turned down.

4．The more you market，the more you sell.

You can publish an excellent book.But if no people know about it，you cannot expect many buyers.Send out an e­mail to friends，family and business partners，telling them your book’s publication date.Ask them to help sell your book.Do not be afraid to try novel ideas.

68．We learn that before self­publishing his first booklet，the writer most probably________.

A．hoped that he would write some famous long stories

B．had nothing published in newspapers

C．was not happy with what he had written

D．thought it difficult to finish a long book

69．What does the underlined word “l(fā)aunch” in Point 1 here mean?

A．Begin.                                  B．Develop. 

C．Lead.                                   D．Describe.

70．What’s the best title for Point 3?

A．No one will like what you wrote at first. B．You will get hurt by what you wrote at first.

C．Prepare for a “yes” rather than a “no”．    D．Be prepared to deal with “noes”

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　Chinese are very generous (慷慨的) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring, about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

　　However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

　　Parents can see that their children's skills vary. They may be skilled in some areas, while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize, though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence (自信).

　　The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiplechoice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

　　Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

　　Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.

　　Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

1．Parents in China, according to this passage, ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)re too strict with their children

B．a(chǎn)re too rich to educate their children

C．have some problems in educating their children correctly

D．a(chǎn)re too poor to educate their children

2．Generally speaking, children's skills ________.

[　　]

A．come from their parents

B．have nothing to do with their education

C．may be different

D．have something to do with their marks in the exams

3．The writer of this passage does not seem to be satisfied with ________.

[　　]

A．the parents' ideas of educating their children

B．the education system

C．children's skills

D．children's hobbies

4．According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ________.

[　　]

A．broken radios and television sets are useful

B．one's curiosity may be useful for his later life

C．a(chǎn)n engineer must fix many broken radios
