When Amy wrote her first novel in secondary school, she never imagined that she would become a writer one day. Like writers on the Internet, the woman got into this online world accidentally (偶然地).
Three years ago, Amy worked in the 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 and their life she is familiar with.
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 e-mailed her, asking her she would like to sell the electronic copyright (授权) of one of her novels. She immediately and the novel was moved to the VIP section of the website. She got $1,500 for that.
Now Amy is a full-time “The Internet made 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 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.

Lesson 55:Not a gold mine 并非金矿
Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.
