Zoe, Damacela, 19, didn't have nice clothes when she was young. It wasn't easy for Zoe’s hard-working single mother to make ends meet. They moved in and out of homeless shelters.
Everything changed for Zoe in grade nine. At that time, she heard about a sewing(縫紉) class at her school. She signed up and couldn't wait to turn her designs into clothes. The color of the first dress she made was white-black strips. Soon the clothes she wore were all made by her. Other girls at school loved her designs too. They asked her if they could buy dresses from her. Zoe sold her first dress for $13. Unfortunately, it cost her $25 to make the dress. “I had the creativity in designs," says Zoe. “But I really had no idea about business.”
Zoe kept selling the clothes she designed. Her business was booming, and even the girls who had ever teased her became her customers. In the eleventh grade, Zoe took a business class. She learned how to price her clothes so that she could be sure to make a fair profit.
Her business teacher suggested she take part in a contest for teenaged entrepreneurs (企業(yè)家). The contest was for teens from all over the United States. Zoe sent in her business plan, which explained how she planned to make her company grow. She won the second prize in the end. Zoe ’s success became a news item. Supermodel Tyra Banks heard about it and she invited Zoe to take part in her TV show. “Being recognized I felt really unreal,”says Zoe. Zoe has advice for teens who want to start their own business. “If you really work hard on it, you will be able to make it happen,” she says. “If I can do it, anyone else can.”

　　(From a newspaper)“… She was married to an officer in India long ago, and she had a life of physical adventure(冒險) as exciting as her poetry. Her husband could cross rivers using crocodiles(鱷魚) as stepping stones. He died when she was only 39. Unwilling to exist without him, she took her life, leaving a young son in England.”

　　I stared at the paper, 　(1)　 reading, and couldn't help thinking.

　　Crocodiles are 　(2)　 animals as a rule, but they can 　(3)　 like lightning when they want to. And they don't mind hurrying 　(4)　 they're hungry. There used to be lots in Indian rivers, 　(5)　 on fish mostly; but what's a little fish for a fifteenfoot crocodile? They ate people, fisherman or anyone else 　(6)　 enough to get too near: women doing the 　(7)　, or children playing at the water's edge. A hungry cro's mouth 　(8)　 over a meal with a sound like a gunshot. A big fellow can 　(9)　 in a man in two bites(咬).

　　That woman's husband crossed rivers 　(10)　 from one cro's back to the next. I believe it. It had to be done 　(11)　 before the creature could see what was happening. It was 　(12)　 a brave, active man; and no doubt he 　(13)　 with practice. He could never look back 　(14)　 crossing.

　　The wife used to watch him －I felt 　(15)　 of that. She lived for the adventure, the 　(16)　 excitement of it all. Their real life was with tigers, snakes… It's no wonder she wrote 　(17)　 poetry.

　　Then he 　(18)　. I imagined how she felt. Was there another man 　(19)　 him in India, even in the world? She was still young, hardly a sitting-room widow(寡婦).“I must go, too,” she said to herself. So she did what she felt she had to do. A 　(20)　, probably, to her head.

　　But her young son, their son? Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband? Well, what do you think?
