Des yur life ever feel as if yu're pushing a heavy car—ne n which yu've spent much mney and that has nw brken dwn? Yu've dne everything right: yu haven't invested heavily in a new business r quit yur jb t pursue yur childhd dream f becming a prfessinal athlete. Yu have been a sensible adult living yur sensible life. S why des it feel like such hard wrk?
This has been me fr the past few mnths. Earlier this year, I tk a lng hard lk at my surces f incme and decided t fcus n the nes that prvided the mst mney. I'm lucky enugh t have had a gd financial year. But despite ding the right thing, it has used up my energy and I've wrked ut why.
Years ag, I realized that I disliked hard wrk. Dn't get me wrng. I dn't mind wrking hard, but hard wrk isn't fr me. What's the difference? Fr a start, hard wrk feels as if it never really gets ging. Yu can push hard wrk and it might mve a little but there's n celebratry mment when it gets dne. Mst imprtantly, hard wrk lacks jy. Wrking hard n a prject yu feel excited and mved by can be tiring and difficult, but it's ultimately jyful and that is what I've been missing.
S I asked myself what wuld feel scary but jyful and this is the answer. I'm ging t write a rmance. Of curse, being a middle­aged jurnalist wh suddenly decides t write a bk is nthing nvel. Hwever, fr me, it hits the sweet spt between being jyful enugh t make me want t d it and scary enugh t make me feel it's wrthwhile.
As with all gd middle­aged changes, this ne hasn't really been thught thrugh. I knw little abut writing fictin and even less abut what makes a gd bk. I have the thinnest ideas fr a plt but, fr the first time in a while, I'm excited, I will be anther Jane Austen with my fantasies which give me life. S nw, I have t g and sharpen my pencil.

A few days befre New Year 1944, Patricia Krueger received a telegram frm the U．S. Army. She hped it wuld cntain a belated birthday greeting frm her husband, an army flight engineer, Charles Krueger, whm she had nt heard frm fr 2 weeks. Instead, the message said he wasn't cming hme: His B­29 had been lst and he was later declared MIA (missing in actin).

[2023·南京市·盐城市高三模拟]As I std in line waiting t cash ut at a “pack yur wn” kind f stre, where custmers pack their items by themselves, I stared at the custmer in frnt f me reading the magazines. She was yung, but she already had a tired lk, with her head bent frwards—as if life had beaten her dwn t many times.
Her face lked pale frm extreme tiredness. Her winter cat was thin and unbuttned. The well­wrn scarf arund her thrat prbably did little t prtect it frm the cld weather. Her hands turning a few pages, were rugh and red. When I lked dwn at her bts, I culd see a small piece f a clear plastic bag partially visible thrugh a hle in her left bt.
The items in her cart (手推车) included the cheapest cuts f meat and sme things like rice and ptates. There were als lts f ndles. Day­ld bread, inexpensive sap, and tissues n sale—well, almst. In a far crner sat a little ty and a pretty dress that was 50 percent ff.
She cntinued t lk at the magazines as we waited, and mre peple lined up behind us. She finally tk ne ut and turned it ver several times, trying t find a price befre finally turning t me.
“I'm srry t bther yu，” she began in a shy and nervus tne. “But can yu tell me hw much this is? I frgt my glasses at hme.”
“Of curse，” I said with a smile.
When I finally fund the small print and tld her, she shk her head and put it back.
“They've becme s expensive, haven't they？” I said sympathetically.
“Next！” The cashier called in a gentle vice befre she culd answer, and she mved frward t begin her transactin (交易) .
