On Friday, January 14, 2005, my cousin, Kara Rose, came into the world. She looked perfectly healthy from the outside, but on the inside, the doctors had failed to discover a serious problem. She often had trouble breathing and then turned blue. The doctors found that Kara had been born without part of her heart. They didn’t think she would live long enough to leave the hospital. When she was four days old, she had her first operation. My family stayed together during this hard time, hoping everything would turn out for the best. I was also anxiously hoping the doctors would be able to make her life longer.
Kara’s strength and determination (决心) to live were strong. Eventually, she could go home. We all waited patiently for new technology that could give Kara a new heart. When she was eighteen months old, her parents took her to a famous surgeon who performed a series of operations. There was no guarantee she would make it through the operation, but she succeeded.
Kara grew stronger every day, and it was not long before she was well enough to be around people. She had an amazing character and always wore a sweet smile. When she fell asleep against my body, happy and content, I realized how valuable life really is. As I took her in my arms with her warm breath against my neck, I decided to live every day of my life to the fullest.
This child who is 15 years younger than I has gone through more suffering and pain than I ever have. I admire her strength and determination. Kara has taught me that no matter how bad things seem, they can work out in the end. Knowing this small, beautiful child has made me a stronger person, I now believe that difficulty can be beaten.

I love to write! Ever since I was a five-year-old girl, I wrote stories in my notebooks and on small pieces of paper. I told stories to my friends. As a grown-up, I have written over 100 books! That’s a lot! As a teacher, it’s my goal to encourage all of my students to love to write.
Writing is easy if you’re careful enough, I told them. Everyone I meet is a possible character.
Everything I see or do is a possible scene in a book. Start looking around you. You’ll be amazed at what you discover.
Anyone can be a writer. You just put your pencil on your paper and write what you like to read, step by step:
● Create great characters. If you know your characters well, they’ll write the story for you.
● Interest the reader right at the beginning. You can start your stories with dialogue or action. If you can make the reader ask questions, then he has to keep reading to find out the answers.
● Follow the steps. The steps for every story are almost the same: Introduce the characters and the conflict(争端);things get worse; all seems lost; the hero saves the day!
● Balance is the key.
Remember, when writing, it doesn’t hurt to add some humor(幽默).
小题1:What did the writer begin to do when she was five years old?
___________________________________________________________________
小题2:What’s the writer’s goal as a teacher?
___________________________________________________________________
小题3:How many steps are mentioned about writing according to this passage?
___________________________________________________________________
小题4:.Does the writer think it hurts to add some humor when writing?
___________________________________________________________________
小题5:What does the passage mainly talk about?
___________________________________________________________________
