阅读理解 I had just begun my freelance(自由投稿的) writing career. I was determined to be published in Los Angeles Magazine. So I marched into the office of Los Angeles Magazine without an appointment and asked politely to see the editor! The receptionist said, "Nothing doing!" I returned a week later. "May I see the editor or can I make an appointment?" I got the same response "No". I must get in to see that editor. But how? The wonderful, crazy idea took form. I went to the supermarket and as each friend or acquaintance stopped to study the grocery list, I approached. "Would you be interested in subscribing to Los Angeles Magazine and investing(投资) in my career as a freelance writer?" Two days at the market resulted in my gathering twenty-five checks made out to the magazine. I was now armed. I once again marched into the magazine office. "You again," sighed the receptionist.

He would see me! He was curious enough to want to meet me. As I put the twenty-five checks and a typed list of subscriber addresses on his desk, the amazed editor said, "We assigned a political story to a writer who can't deliver. We need the article three days from now. If you can get an outline to us by Monday, you have yourself an assignment."
