55、Johnny lived with his mother and father in a small town in the mountains.
One day there was an earthquake near the town. Many houses were broken. Everyone thought that there would soon be another earthquake.
They were worried that the second earthquake would be worse than the first. "We must send Johnny to a safe place," Johnny's mother said to her husband. "Many of our friends are sending their children to relatives in other towns." "We'll send him to my brother, Peter," Johnny's father said. "He lives a long way away. Johnny will be safe with him."
He telephoned Johnny's uncle Peter and asked him if he would let Johnny live with him. "He is a good boy," he said. "He won't give you any trouble." "All right," Johnny's uncle Peter said. "But I'm not used to children. I live a very quiet and peaceful life." "You won't know Johnny's in the house," his father told him. So Johnny, who was eight, went to live with his uncle.
Two days later, his mother and father received a telegram from Peter. It said, "A returning child. Please send earthquake."

题型描述: 阅读理解Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer（自由撰稿者）, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering “what if”. I would keep putting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland （虚幻世界）of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
