解析【小题1】答案 A [Tracy Wong是一位著名的美籍华人作家。其写作技能(skill)是自学的。后文大部分谈到了她的技能与技巧。skill技能，技巧；experience经验， 体验， 经历， 阅历；practice实践，实习；method方法。]
【小题2】答案 C [从后文作同位语的teaching disabled children和对立项a part?time writer for IBM，这里指的不是义务(duty)，努力(effort)，任务(task)，而是工作、职业(job)。]
【小题3】答案 D [ 指Tracy Wong所处的时期(then)。instead代替，表示对立意义；normally正常地， 通常地；certainly的确，表示对情况或事情的肯定。]
【小题4】答案 C [当时，写作是个人的兴趣爱好。后句sent three of her stories to a publisher 有所暗示。general普通的，一般的；deep深奥的， 难懂的；personal私人的， 个人的；lively活泼的， 活跃的。]
【小题5】答案 A [出版商对她的作品感兴趣(interested)，随即向她提出建议。interested(＝As they were interested)；encouraged的逻辑主语应是Tracy，而不是出版商；anxiously(忧虑地， 不安地)和seriously(认真地， 真诚地)通常不作句子性副词用，故不能出现在这个位置上。]
【小题6】答案 B [出版商建议她把三个故事合起来成为一篇长故事(story)。film，program和article没有存在的前提。]
【小题7】答案 D [对于Tracy这样一个尚不受大众欢迎的(popular)，普通的(unusual)，外国的(foreign)，没有名气的(unknown)小作家，这是不小的一笔钱。]
【小题8】答案 B [虽然她的故事人物令人感兴趣，但……注意前后句之间的转折关系。now that既然，表示原因关系；even though即使，即便，表示转折关系；just because就是因为，表示因果关系；except that 除了……之外，只可惜，表示排除意义。]
【小题9】答案 C [她的那些关于超自然故事有时让/使(leave)读者感到不自在，心神不安。find发现，找到；turn转动，变成；leave使某人处于某种状态，置某人于某种状态；hold把握，保持。]
【小题10】答案 B [作者的母亲认为作者能够沟通来世阴间。后句“She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”有所暗示。make up弥补， 虚构， 缝制， 整理；connect with连接， 联 络；control控制；explain 解释，说明。]
【小题11】答案 D [但是作者也确实有这样的感觉(feelings)，机会(chances)，事件(events)，或时刻(moments)。因为紧接在后面的when引导的表示时间的定语从句，修饰前面的moments，故选D。]
【小题12】答案 A [有时某些事情无缘无故(for no reason)地，而非碰巧(by accident)，从远处(from a distance)，作为礼物式(as gifts)地发生在作者身上。后文中的“Once, she was wondering how to...”有所暗示。]
【小题13】答案 C [作者一直在纳闷如何完成一个以古代中国为背景的布景场景(scene)的故事，而非描写(description)，指示(pointing)或谈话(talk)。]
【小题14】答案 B [突然(suddenly)，门铃响了。surprisingly令人惊讶地；suddenly突然地，表示突发性行为；expectedly不出预料地；fortunately幸运地。]
【小题15】答案 B [邮递员手里拿着有关中国历史(history)方面的书。前面ancient China有所提示。]
【小题16】答案 D [书来得很是蹊跷，作者先前知道(know)、意识到会(realize)有这样的书，但没有送(send)出去过，更没有预定过(order)。按常识道理，没有预定，邮递员不会送东西到家来，更何况是自己想弄的东西。]
【小题17】答案 A [虽然作者已经出版了45本书，可仍然没有由于名誉而有丝毫改变(unchanged)。由后文although in a more comfortable home 说明unmoved不妥。excited和determined与文意不符。]
【小题18】答案 D [作者也许在原先的城市(city)，原先的房子(house)居住，但不能是原先的生活(life)，而是以与27年前同样的生活方式(way)生活着。]
【小题19】答案 D [作者不仅仅只是单一的写作，作者的生活中有了更多的机会或空间来享受生活的多样化(variety)。]
【小题20】答案 A [注意与文章前面her writing skill，a part?time writer for IBM，writing stories was simply a personal interest的相一致。reporting，luck和fun与文意不符。]

The secret of success is what you say not what you think. Several years ago, I started representing a new service in the . I started out like a wildfire and within a few days I had reached stardom(明星的地位) within the company. About a year into it. I started to work with a young lady who always said the most and defeating things I’d ever heard in my life. , I found myself repeating the very same defeatism(失败情绪), which my sales dropping and my shining stardom fading away, and I couldn’t understand .

I started to talk myself back into being ; I printed lists of things to say about myself, most of which was the exact of what I felt about myself at the time.
In order to achieve anything in life, you have to believe that you can achieve it; in order to believe that you can achieve you have to think it’s possible; in order to think it’s possible you have to tell yourself it is. Yes, it will take time for you to get to a place where you finally believe you can accomplish what you set out to achieve, but the first person you have to is yourself. I dare you to write positive things down about yourself and start saying them to yourself every morning, at lunch and just before you go to bed for the next 30 days and see for yourself the that it can make. You have nothing to except the negative and that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
