My story is a simple one. You have only got to fig

33、ure to yourselves a girl in a bedroom with a pen in her hand. She had only to move that pen from left to rightfrom ten oclock to one. Then it occurred to her to do what is simple and cheap enough after allto slip a few of those pages into an envelope, fix a penny stamp in the corner, and drop the en

34、velope into the red box at the corner. It was thus that I became a journalist; and my effort was rewarded on the first day of the following montha very glorious day it was for meby a letter from an editor containing a cheque for one pound ten shillings and sixpence.B. What could be easier than to wr

35、ite articles? But wait a moment. Articles have to be about something. Mine, I seemed to remember, was about a novel by a famous man. And while I was writing this review, I discovered that if I were going to review books I should need to do battle with a certain phantom. And the phantom was a woman,

36、and when I came to know her better I called her after the heroine of a famous poem “The Angel in the House“. It was she who used to come between me and my paper when I was writing reviews. It was she who bothered me and wasted my time and so tormented me that at last I killed her. I will describe he

37、r as shortly as I can. She was intensely sympathetic. She was immensely charming. She was utterly unselfish. She excelled in the difficult arts of family life. She sacrificed herself daily. She was so constituted that she never had a mind or a wish of her own, but preferred to sympathize with the mi

38、nds and wishes of others. Above all I need not say itshe was pure. In those days every house had its angel. And when I came to write I encountered her with the very first words. The shadow of her wings fell on my page; I heard the rustling of her skirts in the room. Directly, that is to say, I took

39、my pen in hand to review that novel by a famous man, she slipped behind me and whispered; “My dear, you are a young woman. You are writing about a book that has been written by a man. Be sympathetic; be tender; flatter; deceive; use all the arts and wiles of our sex. Never let anybody guess that you

40、 have a mind of your own. Above all, be pure. “ And she made as if to guide my pen. I now record the one act for which I take some credit to myself. I turned upon her and caught her by the throat. I did my best to kill her. My excuse, if I were to be had up in a court of law, would be that I acted i

41、n self-defense. Had I not killed her she would have killed me. She would have plucked the heart of my writing. For, as I found, directly I put pen to paper, you can not even review a novel without having a mind of your own, without expressing what you think to be the truth about human relations, mor

42、ality, sex. And all these questions, according to the Angel in the House, cannot be dealt with freely and openly by women; they must charm, they must conciliate, they mustto put it bluntlytell lies if they are to succeed. Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon

43、my page, I took up the inkpot and flung it at her. She died hard. Her fictitious nature was of great assistance to her. It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.71 The author most likely describes “a girl in a bedroom“ in Line 1 in Para. A in order to_.（A）present a picture of herself as a f

44、ledgling writer（B） describe the vulnerability of young woman writers（C） bring to light the limits placed on young female journalists（D）demonstrate the economic feasibility of entering a career as a writer72 The author raises the question “What could.articles?“ in Line 1, Para.
