2. BookBrowser, which the author started, was a system that matched Books with Buys, and it became a successful business.
3. It is important to seize opportunities and do what you think is needed. You do not have to wait for someone to give you permission or encouragement.
4. As the case of Paul Yock shows, when groups in different fields gather and work together, they can achieve great success.

Fill in the blanks, thinking back to the answer to the question following each section numbers. Read the finished summary aloud.

The author’s father was used to a world where ①（others promote you〔promoted him〕to positions with greater responsibility）. The author, on the other hand, decides on her own and takes action. The author decided to write a book herself since ②（the one she wanted to read wasn’t available）. When she found that her publisher did not do much promotion, she decided to start BookBrowser to help authors get more exposure for their work and help readers ③（learn about books that might interest them）. She thinks that there is a lot to be said for ④（seizing opportunities (instead of waiting for someone to hand them to you)）. The story of Paul Yock illustrates the fact that ⑤（opportunities can be found） quite near to you and that you should seize them instead of waiting for permission.
