　　(2016·北京东城第二学期综合练习)

　　It was a dangerous period for Nancy where her own fortunes were concerned.She had to rely on freelance(自由撰稿) work for six months after Quality Weekly Magazine folded.The regular salary cheque had always seemed very small,but now it was like lost riches.She sent many articles to other magazines.Sometimes she struck it lucky and got a task.She once wrote a short article of a politician who appreciated her fair-minded approach and gave her some secret information.Her article was noticed by an editor in search of something sharp and fresh.And Nancy was getting a name for sharp comment.In this trade,she saw,you didn’t need so much to be up to date with things as ahead of them,lying in wait for circumstance,ready to jump.

　　Then one day she walked into the offices of National Daily.It had taken her article and its editor had looked kindly upon her.Having handed over a piece on the latest educational theories she’d written,she fell into conversation with a woman she had known before.She learned that one of the paper’s regular columnists(专栏作家) had quitted the job.So Nancy made the necessary phone call to apply for the job.

　　And then,the phone call came.She’d have a weekly column with her photograph next to it.There’d be a salary cheque,and perhaps fame and success to follow that.She realized that the job presented her with a wonderful opportunity.
