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 mother39。s dance studio in CrotononHudson, 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: Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(編舞), the staging, but I didn39。t want to own it. Yet Laqueur39。s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a selfpublished author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Selfpublishing as a way of sharing her first pleted 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 selfpublished novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has selfpublished 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 Writer39。s Digest SelfPublished Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize. You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think selfpublishing allows that freedom,39。 she says. If you work with traditional publishing, it39。s more about what39。s marketable, There are tradeoffs, which everyone will tell you, but by selfpublishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I39。m cool with that.(1)From Paragraph 2, we can learn that Laqueur _______.

Your password has expired(過期), a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn39。t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my pany, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing can39。t be fewer than eight characters. And I can39。t use any of the same passwords I39。ve used in the past three months. Suddenly I was furious. What didn39。t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day. My anger didn39。t mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor (閃動的光標), waiting for me to type a password that I39。d have to re
