Module 2 Fantasy Literature 单元小结Mary was gifted in writing, always dreaming of becoming a writer like JK. Rowling and writing a series of novels associated with fantasy to accumulate a big fortune. Thus she set out to write, but her manuscripts were rejected again and again by presses. And at one point she was burdened with rent. She began to doubt if writing is beyond her power. It was her boyfriend that played an important part in her writing. With his help, Mary made adjustments in time, overcame all kinds of difficulties, and turned to writing love stories. It was not long before her first love story was published and distributed by a press, and her work appealed to thousands of readers. Soon she possessed her own big house, and she never doubted her ability to attain her target.,玛丽在写作上很有天赋，她一直梦想着成为一位像J.K. 罗琳一样的作家，写一系列与幻想有关的小说，积累一大笔财富。因此她开始着手写作，但是她的稿件一次次地被出版社拒绝。而且她曾一度为房租所累。她开始怀疑是否写作超出了她的能力范围。是她的男朋友在她的写作方面起了重要的作用。在他的帮助下，玛丽及时做出了调整，克服了各种困难，改写爱情小说。不久，她的第一部爱情小说就被一家出版社出版发行，并且她的作品吸引了成千上万的读者。很快她拥有了自己的大房子，她不再怀疑她有能力实现自己的目标。加餐练(一)完形阅读组合练.完形填空When I was young, I read only comic books.
