24、utline, and then rewrote it, under the direction of a producer who was also the wife of the managing producer. He followed her instructions strictly and, when he finished, waited anxiously to hear if he would be hired to write up the story. One usually gets this news very quickly, because hour-long
25、television shows in a series (连续剧) are produced at the rate of one every eight days, and producers start running out of stories after the first few weeks of the season. So, accepted outlines are rushed to the next stage. Strangely, however, he heard nothing.Finally, Edward was called to a meeting at
26、 the programs production office. The producer under whom he had been working was not there, nor was the managing producer, but the rest of the writers gathered around in a circle. Edward was expecting their opinions and advice. Had he failed to make the story moving enough? Was it still hard to unde
27、rstand?One producer who was present finally spoke,“ Ozzie and Harriet are having problems with their marriage.“Edward didnt understand.The managing producer had decided to separate from his wife, the producer who had asked Edward to write the outline.

Many times Ive wanted to write for myself, for other women, for my parents, for my husband, a
33、nd especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins. One reason there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new baby is that there is seldom a moment to think of anything else but the babys needs.With twins, I d
34、id not have a spare hand to write with.Before my twins were born, my days were long but I had nothing to write about. After the twins birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself facing not a pen or paper but milk bottles.During some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at
35、11 pm, heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there was really no night. Each feeding lasted a long time. At 1:00 am, each of them would begin crying with hunger. At 4:00 am, when I finally put them down, I headed for the kitchen and lighted a cigarette. I hadnt s
36、moked for almost a year, but I felt Id never needed it more. I was so sleepy and so tired that I didnt care.Two years have passed since then and weve managed to live through it all.

If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably the
41、y will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good deal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion (消化).

42、 almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, get fully prepared what you will need in your travel as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily carry even when fully packed.
