The men who race the cars are generally small,with a tight, nervous look.They range from the early 20s to the middle 40s, and it is usually their nerves that go first.
Fear is the driver's constant companion, and tragedy can be just a step behind.Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of ancient crashes.The mark of the plastic surgeon is everywhere, and burned skin is common.Sometimes a driver's scars are invisible, part of his heritage.Two young drivers, Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen, raced in their first 500 in 1968.Less than 20 years before, their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track-and died there.All this the drivers accept.Over the years, they have learned to trust their own techniques, reflexes, and courage.They depend, too, on a trusted servant-scientific engineering.Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling(an exception is New Zealand's Bruce McLaren, who has an engineering degree), many drivers are gifted mechanics, with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship.A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy, with six-figure incomes from prize money, endorsements, and jobs with auto-product manufacturers.Some have businesses of their own.McLaren designs racing chassis(底盘).Dan Gurney's California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four ears in the 1968 Indy 500, including his own second place car.Yet money is not the only reason why men race cars.Perhaps it isn't even the major reason.Three-time Indy winner(1961,1964,1967)A.J.Foyt, for example, can frequently be found competing on dirty tracks in minor-league races, where money, crowds and safety features are limited, and only the danger is not.Why does he do it？ Sometimes Foyt answers, "It's in my blood." Other times he says, "It's good practice." Now and then he replies, "Don't ask dumb questions."

In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 【B1】 women, and even more 【B2】 if the inquirer is a man.
However, it is very 【B3】 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 【B4】 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 【B5】 their age, especially if they feel they look young 【B6】 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 【B7】 question like "How old are you". If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 【B8】 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 【B9】 how old they are. 【B10】 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 【B11】. They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 【B12】 that they look very old!
【B13】 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 【B14】 that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else 【B15】 the information, 【B16】 they may try to 【B17】 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 【B18】 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 【B19】, but this is not always the 【B20】.

Writing to learn makes it possible to show learning in writing. Much of the writing you will do in college and at work will ask you to demonstrate what you have learned. The success of that demonstration will depend on, among other things, revising your writing to show your knowledge to best advantage. When you have begun to see what you want to say(frequently this becomes clear at the very end of a first draft), it is time to start thinking about how to present your ideas to others. It is time to start thinking about revising.
Revising can be described as the most important(and frequently most neglected) part of writing. Novelists Doris Lessing has said that many novels miss greatness because authors are unwilling or unable to revise them. James Michener explains the importance of revision this way: "I have never thought of myself as a good writer. Anyone who wants reassurance of that should read one of my first drafts. But I' m one of the world' s great revisers."
Revising takes many forms. It means thinking about the audience for your writing. Who will read your work and why？ It also means developing an overall plan for the writing that will make your ideas clear. Often the organization of a first draft will reflect your process of discovery, but that may not be the best way to present your ideas to someone else. Revising also gives attention to the style. of language, to the structure of a paragraph, and to the shape of sentences and other forms that show learning to its best advantage.
Writing to learn and writing to show learning are never, of course, entirely separate processes. Writers frequently consider issues of demonstrating learning while writing to learn, and writing to show learning often leads to new under- standings. In drafting, for example, you may start thinking about what an audience will need to know in order to under- stand your point and change a word or a phrase to make your meaning clearer. But understanding the differences between writing to learn and writing to show learning is central to seeing writing as a process.
What Doris Lessing said helps to support the idea that______.
A．he is one of the world' s great revisers
B．he is not a good writer
C．revising is very important
D．many writers are unwilling to revise their works
