For most of her life,
Suanne Laqueur's passion for storytelling was
shown on the dance floor.
Although Laqueur began writing at a young age,
dancing always took center stage. She majored
in dance and theater at Alfred
University and taught at her mother's dance studio
in Croton-on-
Hudson,
New
York,
for
years.
But
when
her
mother
was
ready
to
retire
and
an
opportunity
opened
for
Laqueur
to
take
over
the
studio,
she
realized
she
had
no
interest
in
taking
on
the
business
side
of
her
art:
a
studio
is
a
lot
of
work
—
financially,
logistically.
I
love
the
teaching, the
choreographing(
编舞
), the
staging, but I didn't want to own it.
Yet
Laqueur's
disinterest
in
running
the
studio
changed
when
she
became
a
self-published
author.
In
the
fall
of
2013,
she
decided
to
pursue
Self-publishing
as
a
way
of
sharing
her
first
completed novel with
friends and family. During the process, she
realized that following her true
passion
—
telling
stories through writing
—
made
the business of the art worthwhile, and owning
that business meant she could direct
her writing career however she chose.
Starting with her second self-
published novel, she began investing more time in
marketing and
building her audience.
Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now
49, has self-published
six novels,
which collectively have hundreds of ratings and
reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel
An
Exaltation
of
Larks
stole
the
show
at
the
25th
Annual
Writer's
Digest
Self-Published
Book
Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries
to win the grand prize.
have
to
write
the
most
truthful
story
to
you,
and
I
think
self-publishing
allows
that
freedom,' she says.
There
are
trade-offs,
which
everyone
will
tell
you,
but
by
self-
publishing
I
have
control
of
the
book, I have control of the story, and
I'm cool with that.
（

）
From Paragraph 2, we
can learn that Laqueur _______.
A. was a part-time writer
when she was young
B. didn't
like teaching dancing in fact
C. wanted to own a publishing
house
D. was interested in
running her mother's studio
（

）
What made
Laqueur change her attitude to business?
A. Her mother's persuasion.
B. The desire to make money.
C. Self-publishing her novels.
D. Her own passion toward art.

What can be
inferred from what Laqueur's said?

presentable, and a few even had golden faces.
Village children

the best ones to tourists for change;
the rest were sold as fertilizer. One ship
transported about
180,000, weighing
some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on
the fields of England.
Those were the days of generously funded
explorations
—
that dragged
through acres of desert
in their quest
for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted
masks to decorate the estates
and
museums of Europe and America. The many thousands
of mummified animals that turned
up at
religious sites throughout Egypt were just things
to be cleared away to get at the good stuff.
Few people studied them, and their
importance was generally unrecognized.
In
the
century
since
then,
archaeology
has
become
less
of
a
treasure
hunt
and
more
of
a
science. Archaeologists now realize
that much of their sites' wealth lies in the
majority of details
about ordinary
folks

what they did, what
they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies
are a big part of that.

moral
Colony
of
the
Massachusetts, where
immorality is dragged out into the sunshine! Come
along, Madam Hester,
and show your
scarlet
（鲜红色的；罪孽深重的）
letter
in the market-place!
A
lane was at once opened through the crowd. Led by
the beadle
（狱吏），
and attended
by
an
irregular
procession
of
serious-looking
men
and
unkind-looking
women,
Hester
Prynne
set
forth
towards the place appointed for her punishment. A
crowd of eager and curious schoolboys,
understanding little of the matter in
hand, except that it gave them a half-holiday, ran
before her
progress, turning their
heads continually to stare into her face, and at
the winking baby in her
arms, and at
the shameful letter on her breast.
It was no great distance, in those
days, from the prison-door to the market-place.
Measured by
the
prisoner's
experience,
however,
it
might
be
considered
to
be
a
rather
long
journey;
for,
though her manner was proud, she
perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every
footstep of
those who thronged to see
her, as if her heart had been thrown into the
street for them all to
step upon. In
our nature, however, there is a condition that the
sufferer should never know the
intensity of what he endures by its
present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that
rankles
（使痛
心）
after it.
With almost a calm manner, therefore, Hester
Prynne passed through this portion of
her suffering, and came to a sort of
scaffold
（刑台），
at the western
end of the market-place.
It stood
nearly beneath the eaves of Boston's earliest
church, and appeared to be a fixture
there.
