He was, as he put it, “not very bright and couldnt win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who preferred his “clever older brother. At age 8, Horowitz was sent away to an abusive boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded(恳求) with his parents year after year not to send him. “The thought was, Itll be good for him, he recalled.It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied for five years. “My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me, he said. “I wasn't even smart enough to rebel. The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer. Now, at the age of 55, Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month. The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider, an agent for the British intelligence agency M16. Horowitz said he doesn't try to write for kids; it just comes out that way. “I have a feeling it's to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action, he said. The style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups: In both cases, it's all about entertaining people with a good story. Now, Horowitz couldn't be happier with his life. He sums up his success: “you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely. 56In the boarding school, Horowitzs teachers .Aoften criticized him Bshowed great concern for himCtaught him how to write storiesDthought little about his ability57Which of the following is true of Anthony Horowitz?AHe was the beloved child of his family.BHe benefited a lot from boarding school.CHe emphasizes the plot rather than characters in stories.DAlthough he is successful, he isnt very happy.58What advice does Horowitz have for readers?AConfidence is the key to success.BHardship teaches valuable lessons.CInterest is the best teacher.

Below are some of the common mistakes that students usually make with their student credit cards.Students make many mistakes while choosing student credit card. For instance:Instant sign up for the first card offer:This is the most common mistake that most students tend to commit. As they step into college, they get many credit card offers from numerous credit firms. If you are not serious about this and just sign up for the first credit card offer, chances are more to lose those good offers coming after a while. Thus, wait and look out for some reasonable offers.Often, students are attracted by card offers that offer goodies such as T- shirts, video games, and DVDs. Always try to avoid committing this mistake. You need to understand that these goodies are just promotional offers. Hence, always sign up after comparing and reading the terms and conditions of at least three or four credit card companies thoroughly.Using beyond the credit limit: This is another common mistake. Often, these credit cards come with a huge credit limit, but this does not imply to spend your entire credit limit. It is important to keep the credit card balances always below 50% of total credit card limit. If you make use of the entire credit limit on expenditures, it may reflect on your credit report. In addition, you will have a tough time to pay off your balances on time, if you get into the habit of spending your entire limit.Irregularity in Monthly Installment:This is one biggest mistake, which students do with these credit cards. They ignore their monthly installments or skip them. In such cases, credit firms either increase the ARP (Annual Percentage Rate), or charge some penalty fees or withdraw all your rewards and exclusive rights. To worsen, they may even decrease your credit limit. Incurred dues are the common cause of debts due to these credit cards.64.
