完形填空
A few months ago, I was reading a magazine at the dentist’s and there was a story writing competition in it．The story had to have crime(犯罪)as a 1 , and although I haven’t got much 2 of writing, I made up my mind to 3 it．
On the way home, I came up with this idea about a man who so 4 the idea of burglars and burglary that he decided to take revenge(报仇)and to go around 5 from burglars’ houses．Of course, I didn’t know much about 6 burglars work, so I had to do some 7 by asking a friend in the police station, and then I 8 out the plot of the story．
The difficult thing was getting 9 with the story, so I decided to leave the opening 10 till the end, after I’d done a draft(草稿)of the 11 thing．At that stage I gave it to my husband to get feedback on it and he thought it was quite good, but 12 to be shorter, I read it again, 13 to make it more brief．In fact it was my 14 who thought up the title–“Don’t take it personally”．
15 the time I finished, I was feeling 16 confident about it and almost gave up the idea, but in the end, I 17 to send it off to the magazine．After all I had managed to cut a long 18 short．This morning I received a letter saying that I’d 19 the second prize and my story would be 20 in three weeks’ time．How excited I was!
