I remember vividly the call that changed my life. It was Tuesday, February 18. When the
1
rang in the kitchen of my Los Angeles, the 2 was Marty Banderas,
a literary agent to whom I had sent a draft( 草稿 )of my novel three weeks earlier. “I have a couple of 3 .” Banderas said. “First, how old are you?” “I'm 48,” I replied. “Are you in good 4 ?” “Yes, excellent. What’s this about? ” “I’ve sold your novels 5 one and a half million dollars.” I sat down in 6 . I had written fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been 7 by the publishers. I suppose many people would have been 8 , but not me. Each time, I just get down to writing another one. My husband
9
me to find something else to do, but I refused to 10 up.
11
this book published was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It's a mystery story (like all the others) and it was on the best-seller 12 two weeks after publication! I got my first lesson in story
13
from my grandmother. She used to read my stories. She was the one who gave me a 14 of words. She sparked (激发) my
15 and she has been a 16 influence on me. I always had stories running
17
my head and as soon as I could write, I 18 them down on paper. I married young and I have three children, but I never stopped writing, 19 novels between doing the diapers(婴儿的尿布) and dishes. I'm writing
20
novel now. Yes, my success has changed my life.

How to Be Polite at a Dinner Party?
It’s not polite to arrive at a dinner more than 15 to 20 minutes late. The host or hostess usually waits for all the
41
to arrive before serving the meal. If someone is late,the food may be spoiled(变味),and
42
may the host or hostess’ spirits.If you have to be
43
call and tell them to start
44
you.
It’s even worse to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be
45
.If you are early,drive or walk around the block a few times,or just sit in your car until the right time.
Though it’s often 46
to arrive at a party on time,on the other hand,the host or hostess
47
guests to arrive and leave between certain times,so you can
48
at any time between the times he or she gives you.
It’s nice to bring an empty stomach,but it’s even nicer to bring
49
present.The present should not cost a lot,or you might make the host or hostess
50
.Flowers,wine,or a box of candy will be fine.

,but to repeat them often in conversation.After the introduction,we usually call friends by their

names.Older people may want you to call them by their titles and family names,such as “Mrs Smith”,“Mr Johnosn”,“Dr .Brown”.

57
family name at birth. In the United States and Canada,after a woman

63
that expression on my face left by so many years of hardship.It
64
a complete change in my view on life.Here is the

66
to cultivate(培养)a big,happy smile.I found out,

just for the purpose of putting dollars in my

starting off with a good fifteen-minute workout of the smile muscles

me during the day.Before entering an office I

from the person I met.I also found that it
76
people when I passed them on the street to give them a
77
smile.
Give every living soul you meet the best smile you have
78
smiled in your life,and see how much better you
39
and look.It’s one of the best ways I know to
80
worrying,and start living.When I began doing this,I found I became more welcome everywhere.
