Some years ago when I was in my second year in university,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 my 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 (不可容忍的). I struggled for days draft 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 the editor's letter in disbelief:
Dear 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 dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and 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.

Would you jump off the Great Wall of China for 300 pounds a day?
A stunt (特技表演)person is a man or woman who does all the dangerous bits of acting work in films or on TV. This can be anything from a simple fall into a swimming pool, or walking off the top of a tall building. It sounds like a job that you would have to be made to try, but there are actually lots of people who want to do it.
Sarah France, twenty-four, is one of Britain’s sixteen professional stunt women ---there are one hundred and sixty stunt men in the country. We asked Sarah how she came to be a stunt woman.
“When I was young I was trained to be a dancer, and for seven years after school I was hardly out of work. A dancer’s life is pretty short, though, and my father suggested I should think about doing stunt work after I’d given up dancing. I thought about it for the next two years and decided to have a go. For six months, I worked really hard every day. I had to learn different skills---swimming, jumping, horse -riding, etc.”
Sarah finished the course in just five months and applied to the office which decides whether you’re accepted as a professional stunt person or not. Two weeks after she was accepted, Sarah was throwing off the Great Wall of China in Superman IV.
“I was very lucky to get work so quickly. I had a small part, playing a traveler who fell off the Wall after an earthquake. The traveler’s life was saved by Superman, of course! Actually, I fell forty-five feet into a pile of cardboard boxes! You can’t use anything softer than that or you will be brought back into view of the cinema. Instead you just have to learn to fall properly. It’s quite dangerous but I enjoy it.”

B. she fell off the Great Wall and hurt herself

D. she learned how to fall properly
4.Which of the following words best describes Sarah?
