　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
　　Dear Friend,
　　The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge mart there.
　　And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children’s booght each year … plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
　　Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks li and me.
　　But am I good enough?
　　I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn’t know where to turn for help.
　　Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing ability, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
　　The promise that paid off
　　The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
　　You will complete at least one manuscript (手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course .
　　I really didn’t expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
　　Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children’s books and over 300 stories and articles.
　　Free test and brochure
　　We offer a free ability test and will send you a copy of our brochure (小册子) describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training .
　　Realize your writing dream today. There’s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
　　Sincerely,
　　Kristi Hill, Instructor
　　Institute of Children’s Literature

　　阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
　　Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not   14   (real) prepared me for anything practical. I knew I felt like   15   (make) a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I   16     (learn) about the Lighthouse Project.
　　I started my journey   17   a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and    18  (friend) for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision    19  (apply) for the Lighthouse Project lightly.   20   did my family.
