Question

When Amy wrote her first novel in secondary school, she never imagined（想象） that she would become a writer one day. Like many      writers on the Internet, the     woman got into this online world accidentally(偶然地).

Three years ago, Amy worked in a medical industry. Her job kept her busy for six months and left her almost       to do for the rest of the year. To fill the time, she started writing       on the Internet. Her first novel was about her neighbors and their life that       is familiar with. Amy has been interested in writing        she was a child. At first, she just wanted to share her novels     people she knew. Then one day an editor of a famous website emailed her, asking her     she would like to sell the electronic copyright(授权) of one of her novels. She      at once and the novel was moved to the VIP section of the website. She got $ 1,500 for that.

Now Amy is a full-time     . So far her eight novels have come out(出版) online, and five of them were printed. “The Internet       me famous and brought me      ,” she said. “I earn much more money now— about $60,000 a year. I am   with my career, but there is one problem — that my talent might run out after five years and I’ll have to     to work in the medical industry.” “Before that day comes, I’ll keep    for the readers with my light and close-to-everyday-life writing style,” said Amy with a smile.
