Many writers are only 【C5】______ aware of their audience as they draft their stories. Some believe the reader doesn't come into play at all until the story is finished or the article on the editor's desk. But since we write to be read, readers are an essential part of the writing【C6】______ itself. Your audience is an implicit part of your writing, as much as plot and characters. Your implicit audience helps【C7】______ your story; it sets your tone and defines your style; it determines in part your choice of protagonist; it is the "ear" to your "voice". If we know how to write and what to write about,【C8】______ we also know who it is we're writing for?
You are not writing for your writers' circle, or your editor, or your mother-in-law who reads all you’re your 【C9】______ drafts. No matter how important these people may be, they are not the "reader" I am talking
about here, or 【C10】______ , they shouldn't be. Writers tend to become hopelessly blocked when they try to please specific readers. Especially when those readers are themselveswriters. Or mothers-in-law. Knowing your 【C11】______ audience will help you avoid that particular trap.
The simplest way to start getting a handle on your audience is to form. a mental【C12】______ of your ideal reader. What kind of person is he/she? Where does he live, what kind of job, what kind of hobbies does he have? What books does he read (and when, and how many)? Chances are, your ideal reader is a lot like you. We write【C13】______ when we write for an audience with whom we can【C14】 ______ .
Sticking with that audience is more important than you think. Too- harsh criticism from fellow writers or editors can undermine your confidence to the point【C15】______ you write just m suit their tastes. Uncritical admiration of relatives and friends can make you sloppy and lax.
New trends may 【C16】______ you to start writing vampire stories【C17】______ your regular romantic westerns. These are all false beacons, to use a 【C18】______ term. A good sense of your ideal reader will help you navigate a steady course, and write 【C19】______ you write best. On the one hand our writing is guided by authors we admire, on the other hand we tend to write for an audience we feel comfortable with. Somewhere 【C20】______ between we find a balance that is our own.

听力原文: A good reader reads fast and understands most of what he or she reads. Although each person is different, most good readers share six characteristics.
First, most good readers read a great deal. They make time for reading and spend two full hours a day, three or four days a week, reading.
Second, Past readers look for the main ideas in their reading. They don't waste time and effort on unimportant details.
Third, good readers improve their comprehension ability by reading more and more difficult materials.
Fourth, fast readers plan their time for reading. Like students with assignments, good readers give themselves time limits, saying "I want to finish this book by tomorrow. How much time can 1 spend?"
Fifth, good readers set goals. To set a goal, they may read for fifteen minutes for quick understanding, then count the number of pages read and multiply by four. This gives them a number of pages to try to read each hour. Gradually, they increase these goals.
Lastly, fast readers concentrate. They do not let outside distractions or daydreams interfere with their reading.
(23)
A.A whole day.
B.Three or four full hours.
C.Six or eight full hours.
