9、 As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated (躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school becau
10、se she was too shy to participate. In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did
11、attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa.

13、 but it had everything to do with it! Thats when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldnt write about.” Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book talks about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking are
14、a in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school to graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a childrens book, and a short-story collection. 24.What can

CFlight cancellations(取消) and loss of luggage can ruin even the best-planned holiday. The key to a stress-free trip is having a backup plan
18、. Fly non-stop. The worst problems involve connections, so it is important to take non-stop flights whenever possible.

19、ctions. Check the weather. Check the weather in your connecting city, not just the arrival and departure city.

20、 several days later on a sold-out holiday weekend. Go early. The earlier in the day you fly, the better your chance of getting rebooked the same day after a missed connection.

21、ed or cancelled, get on the phone and rebook your flight instead of waiting at the ticket counter. If your rebooking is delayed, call or ask your travel agent to find a seat on another carrier, and then ask your original carrier to endorse your ticket to the new airline. Airlines are not required to
22、 do this but often do. Ship bags. A few days before your flight, ship suitcases or holiday gifts to your destination by a documented express service. Its preferable to losing bags because of re-routed flights and sometimes cheaper than paying airline overweight bag fees. Know your rights. Airlines a
23、re not required to compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights, but it never hurts to ask for goodwill vouchers(折扣) for meals, taxis or a room. 28.
