He was, as he put it, “not very bright” and couldnt win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who preferred his “clever” older brother. At age 8, Horowitz was sent away to an abusive boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded(恳求) with his parents year after year not to send him. “The thought was, Itll be good for him,” he recalled.It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied for five years. “My teachers couldnt have had a lower opinion of me,” he said. “I wasnt even smart enough to rebel. The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.” Now, at age of 55, Horowitz is one of the worlds most successful childrens book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month. The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider, an agent for the British intelligence agency M16. Horowitz said he doesnt try to write for kids; it just es out that way. “I have a feeling its to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action,” he said. The style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups: In both cases, its all about entertaining people with a good story. Now, Horowitz couldnt be happier with his life. He sums up his success: “you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it pletely.” 56. In the boarding school, Horowitzs teachers _.A. thought little about his ability B. showed great concern for himC. taught him how to write storiesD. often criticized him57. Which of the following is true of Anthony Horowitz?A. He was the beloved child of his family.B. He benefited a lot from boarding school.C. He emphasizes the plot rather than characters in stories.D. Although he is successful, he isnt very happy.58. What advice does Horowitz have for readers?A.Interest is the best teacher. B. Hardship teaches valuable lessons.C.Confidence is the key to success. D. Industry is the parent of success.59. In which section can you most probably read the passage?A. Campus TrendsB. Culture & LeisureC. Our World D.

Annika carried out the crimeCI must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me. Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?I try to.Well, dont, he exclaimed. When you grow up, time wont e in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will bee a part of your life. When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and mittee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had bee heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up pianoplaying again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.There is an important trick in this timeusing formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you cant afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time es. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge（投入）in without delay.64.

A. has new books published each year however busy his teaching is B. is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavy C. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novelsD. can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so hes devoted to work instantly66.
