         Willa Cather once said. "When people ask me whether writing has been a hard or easy road, I
    always answer with the famous saying: The end is nothing; the road is all. That is what I mean when
    I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never used the computer with the thought that one more task
    had to be done. "
         Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather
    for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor(活力)
    of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from child to young womanhood and where she developed
    a deep 1ove for the treeless land of the great plain with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers.
         "It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you or  it leaves
    you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower, an old factory. a
    waterfall, the country all made to look like a German Christmas card…But when I come to the open
    plain, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently. "

    1. Willa Cather wrote books for money, didn't she?

    A. Yes
    B. NO.
    C. Sometimes she wrote for money.
    D. We don't know.

    2.Willa Cather wrote because she found writing __________.

    A. simple and lively
    B. opened up a road to success
    C. neither too hard nor too easy
    D. interesting and enjoyable

    3.What was the place like where Cather grew up?

    A. It was cold, plain with a church.
    B. It was vast, open, flat and wild.
    C. It was like a German Christmas card.
    D. It was a colorful world of wild flowers.

    4. What happens when Cather comes to the open plain?

    A. She breathes differently from others.
    B. She wants to make the place her home.
    C. She feels completely comfortable.
    D. She finds the place similar to her home.

         Though my career as a banker was financially rewarding, I was never content with the work. I was
    annoyed by my workmates' coldness and endless counting. Gradually, I began to envy my wife Julie's
    teaching career, which was full of passion and challenges. However, I admitted that leaving a secure(保
    险的、无忧的) position and going to school needed courage.
         One winter evening I heard Julie complaining about a student's bad academic performance. She said, "Baxter used to do his homework very well, but it has dropped recently." The next evening when I
    arrived home, Julie asked, "Will you drive me to Baxter's house? I want to talk with his family about his
    homework." After an hour, a hut(简陋的小屋) stood before us. Baxter was busy gathering firewood in
    the front yard. Seeing us, Baxter was surprised, but greeted us happily. Julie asked, "Where are your
    parents?" Baxter said they were not in. We found that it was dark in the hut. On our way home, Julie
    cried, "His work was good in the early autumn when the days were longer. But now, in the dark, he can't
    do his homework." Then she decided to help him so that he could focus on his studies.
         I was moved by her kindness and I wanted to help poor students. At the end of the month, I said
    goodbye to the bank. Now I am teaching the students and I love my job.

         When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and
    very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he
    ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.
         It was difficult to coordinate(协调) our steps - his slow, mine impatient -- and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to
    adjust to you. "
         He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or
    able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough
    for him.
          Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still
    don' t know accurately(精确地) what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.
         Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way.
         I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball
    (poorly), he "played" too. When I joined the Navy, he "joined" too. And when I came home on leave, he
    saw to it that(务必保证、一定) I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never
    said aloud.
         He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness
    to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how
    unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious
    of another's good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart".
         At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, "You set the pace, I will try to
    adjust to you."

    1. The author felt unhappy walking with his father because __________.

    A. he was pitiful for his father's physical disability
    B. it was hard for them to walk at the same pace
    C. he didn't want others to know he had an ugly father
    D. it was not easy for his father to keep balance

    2. In the father's view, the most important quality a good person should have is __________.

    A. beautiful appearance
    B. excellent health
    C. a smart head
    D. a good heart

    3. It can be inferred from the text that __________.

    A. the father was proud of his only son
    B. the father took part in all his son's activities
    C. the author was upset when asked to his father's office
    D. the author was a good ball player and outstanding soldier

    4. According to the last paragraph, by saying "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.", the
        author means that __________.

    A. he is now glad to help his father to walk
    B. he regrets his unwillingness to walk with his father
    C. he will follow Father's standards of being a good man
    D. he will never forget how mentally strong his father was

          How much do you know the development of the newspaper? Before the first century, there was no
    newspaper at all in the world. The news was spread only by mouth. And later, people began to write
    newspapers. But the first newspapers were written by hand and put up on the walls in public places. The
    first daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. Europe didn't have regularly published newspapers
    until 1609, when one was started in Germany.
         The first regularly published newspaper in English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In the
    next year, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily
    English newspaper was the Daily Courant. It came out in March 1702.
         In 1609, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was
    first published, the government stopped the paper. Five years later, John Com bell started the Boston
    newsletter, and the first newspaper was published daily in the American colonies(殖民地).
         By 1765, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily papers
    in the United States.
         Today, newspapers are published everywhere. To many people, they can't go without reading
    newspapers for a day. As a group, however, English language newspapers have the largest circulation
    (销售量) in the world. But the largest circulation of a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper
    Asihimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies every day. Newspapers are playing an important part
    in people's life.
