My little friends wanted dolls and beautiful clothes that year. I wanted paper. Childhood passed and a box of short stories about horses and princesses and magical lands gave way to my middle school days. I wrote for a magazine and by the time I was in the eighth grade, half the annual publication was written by me.My dad would read one of my poems or stories and his eyes would light up. “Thats beautiful, honey,” hed tell me. Sometimes Id dream with my parents about being a novelist, writing books that everyone might read. My dad was always sure it would happen. “Someone has to be the next best-selling author,” hed tell me. “It might as well be you.” They were words I held on to, words that encouraged me through high school to keep believing that writing was my calling.But somewhere along the months of my senior year, I became disillusioned. Writing books seemed like a far-off fairy tale. I became more aware of the crazy unfairness in this worldbad guys getting back out on the street and doing harm again and again. I changed my mind.“Im going to be a lawyer,” I told my parents. My dads face fell, but he kept his smile. “Whatever you do, you do well.” He hugged me and gave a firm nod. “Everything will work out the way its supposed to.”One of my first classes at college was Journalism 100an option that met my freshman English requirement. A few weeks into the term, the professor, Bob Scheibel, assigned us a story about an apartment fire. He gave us the facts and we had a few days to write a news story. “One small error in your news story will make you fail the assignment,” Bob said. I remember turning in that first paper. It was sure that I had the facts right. I didnt have high expectations. But a few days later, toward the end of class, Bob Scheibel stared at the kids. “Karen Kingsbury? Raise your hand!”I raised my hand. My cheeks suddenly became red-hot as everyone in the room looked at me. I could barely speak, “Im here.”“Good! e up and talk to me after class.”Questions raced through my mind. What had I done wrong? Had I got the facts mixed up? Did I miss something important? After the class, I went to the professors office. His eyes met mine with great seriousness.“Two things.” There was no hesitation. “First, you will never, ever stop writing. Second, you will report to my office tomorrow morning. I remend you to the school newspaper. You are a very, very good writer. Dont ever forget that.” I left Journalism 100 that day a different person. My back felt a little straighter and my steps came a little quicker. I was a writer. Professor Scheibel had told me so. But my parents werent surprised. The next day I did what he said. Two years ago, after my first bestseller, I met Bob Scheibel. I called him and he easily remembered me. He congratulated me on my success in writing, and I told him my memory of that long ago day. I know Professor Scheibel was touched and after a long moment he thanked me. “I had no idea.”Thats the thing with little words. The words my parents said to me growing up, the words Bob Scheibel said to me that day in his Journalism 100 classthey changed my life. We never know the difference we might make unless we take time to encourage someone.41. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.

For many Chinese children, his book A Mystery for You and the Tiger Team is their first experience of really falling in love with a collection of printed words and pictures. Brezinas stories have turned countless Chinese children into his readers the Austrian author is among the most popular foreign writers in China. In fact, childrens authors now hold two of the top 10 positions on the official chart of best-selling foreign authors in the Chinese mainland and only J.K. Rowling (creator of the Harry Potter series) outsells Brezina. The xx Foreign Writers Rich List, ranked according to money earned in China, puts Brezina in the 7th place, having earned 2.6 million yuan. The Austrian writer has also been showered with international prizes, including the xx National Book Award China. Why do his books enjoy such popularity in China?“I think the reason is that my books introduced Chinese kids to the topics of vampires, mummies and a lot of other interesting characters,” he says. “Mystery and detective fiction for children are genres (类型) which are new to the young Chinese public. So, from what I was told, the stories came at the right time. Mysteries are some of the lightest and most addictive types of fiction; kids having to hunt for mystery clues makes for careful reading.”Also famous for his series The Knickerbocker Gang and his stories about a talking bike called Tom Turbo, Brezina has written 550 books, which are well-known among European children too. They have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. The 50-year-old writer from Vienna is so crazy about his vocation that when he is in the middle of writing a story, he says, he hardly eats. “Its not because I cant; its just because I forget. I am so involved. I forget about time and anything else,” he says. A couple of his most popular titles have been made into movies: Tiger Team and The Knickerbocker Gang. The former has sold more than 18 million copies internationally, while the first 16 books of the latter have also been made into a television series. A big believer in reading aloud to children, he has performed many public readings, including in China. “I have been to China twice. I have always had a great time there,” he says. “Chinese kids told me that the three Tiger-Kids in the books are role models for them. They love their courage and independence. I love describing kids who go on big adventures and have to prove their courage and wisdom.”The characters in Brezinas books are usually based on someone hes met or children he knows, with a part of himself in there too. “Everything I see or experience can possibly bring something new.”In his own childhood Brezina says he was something of an “outsider”, more interested in puppet theater (木偶戏) and stories than soccer. He does not have children of his own. “But you never know,” says Brezina, who has been the official ambassador of UNICEF Austria since 1996. “I think childrens education is too focused on knowledge and discipline (纪律),” he says. “We should provide more education for the soul and the heart. Social skills should bee a subject in school and we as adults should teach kids the art of happiness.”52.

What can we know from the second paragraph?A. Brezinas young audience are mostly from China. B. Chinese children first experience love in his books. C.
