I did not grow up in a family with books．（1）　　 My process of being a reader seemed amazing． I got lost in one book that opened up my world and changed my life．

    My primary school teacher always gave her pupils time to read for pleasure in school． She believed it would improve reading greatly．（2）　　 It was a biography（传记） of actress Greta Garbo． I picked it up and began to read from cover to cover． The words I read attracted（吸引） me and I was excited． I realized that there were other women like Greta who had made great efforts and changed their lives． I recognized（认识） myself in her．

    From then on， my teacher had a hard time keeping me supplied（提供） with books． She dug up all the biographies of women that she could find．（3）　　

    It has been a long road． I am now a physics professor in a university．（4）　　   Recently， someone gave me Justice Sonia Sotomayor's autobiography． Once again， I am encouraged and am imagining new possibilities for my life．
