16、30分） A A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse. That is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or

17、 the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other peoples rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only t

18、hat he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature. And the question, How shall I begin? only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers

19、. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail -that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning. 36. A friend of the writers drew the horses _. A. not very well B. in the way of w

A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse C. the artist made his own rule D. the artist did not follow other peoples rule 38. You are

21、not yet experienced because _.A. you dont know where to begin B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail C. you always asked question D. you do not trust to your own powers 39.

Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasnt a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. A

29、t last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I couldand suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I
