aves and red feathers to make an offering to the spirit who had caused the sickness of my little sister. It had been a long, hard winter, and the snow lay deep on the grassland as far as the eye could reach. The medicine-woman's directions had been that the offering must be laid upon the naked earth, and that to find it I must face toward the setting sun.

But now where was a spot of earth to be found in all that white monotony？ They had talked of death at the house. I hoped that my little sister would live, but I was afraid of nature.

I reached a little spring. I looked down to its bottom, wondering whether I should leave my offering there, or keep on in search of a spot of earth. If I put my offering in the water, would it reach the bottom and touch the earth, or would it float away, as it had always done when I made my offering to the water spirit？

Once more I started on in my search of the bare ground.

The surface was crusted in some places, and walking was easy; in other places I would wade through a foot or more of snow. Often I paused, thinking to clear the snow away in some place and there lay my offering. But no, my faith must be in nature, and I must trust to it to lay bare the earth. It was a hard struggle for so small a child.

I went on and on; the reeds were waving in the wind. I stopped and looked at them. A reed, whirling in the wind, had formed a space round its stem, making a loose socket. I stood looking into the opening. The reed must be rooted in the ground, and the hole must follow the stem to the earth. If I poured my offerings into the hole, surely they must reach the ground; so I said the prayer that l had been taught, and dropped my tobacco and red feathers into the opening that nature itself had created.

No sooner was the sacrifice accomplished than a feeling of doubt and fear thrilled me. What if my offering should never reach the earth？ Would my little sister die？

Not till I turned homeward did I realize how cold I was. When at last I reached the house they took me in and warmed me, but did not question me, and I said nothing. Everyone was sad, for the little one had grown worse.

The next day the medicine-woman said my little sister was beyond hope; she could not live. Then bitter remorse was mine, for I thought I had been unfaithful, and therefore my little sister was to be called to the spirit land. I was a silent child, and did not utter my feelings; my remorse was intense.

The phrase "white monotony" (Paragraph 2) refers to the fact that

A．white people find farm life dull.

B．snow covers the landscape.

C．the narrator is blind.

D．nothing special happens in the story.

听力原文：W: When you write a novel, do you know where you're going, Dr. James？

M: Yes, you must, really. If you're writing the classical detective story, because it must be so carefully plotted and so carefully clued. I have schemes. I have charts. I have diagrams. It doesn't mean to say I always get it right, but I do plan before I begin writing. But what is so fascinating is how a book changes during the process of writing. It seems to me that creative writing is a process of revelation, really, rather than of creativity in the ordinary sense.

W: When you're planning the basic structure, do you like to go away to be sure that you're by yourself？

M: I need to be by myself certainly, absolutely. I can't even bare anybody else in the house. I don't mind much where I am as long as I' ve got enough space to write, but I need to be completely alone. W: Is that very important to you？

M: Oh, yes. I've never been lonely in all my life.

W: How extraordinary! Never？

M: No, never.

W: You're very lucky. Someone once said that there's a bit of ice at the heart of every writer.

M: Yes. I think this is true.The writer can stand aside from experience and look at it, watch it happening. There is this "detachment" and I realize that there are obviously experiences which would overwhelm everyone. But very often, a writer can appear to stand aside, and this detachment makes people feel there's a bit of ice in the heart.

19. Q: What is the key to write a good classical detective story according to the man？

20. Q:What does the man mainly need when working on a book？.

21. Q:What does the man say about writers？

(24)

A．Unique descriptive skills.

B．Good knowledge of readers' tastes.

C．Colorful world experiences.

D．Careful plotting and clueing.

Direchons :

Read the texts from a magazine's LETTERS section, /n, which five people wrote about health. For

questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person, to one of the statements(A to G) given, below. Mark your answers on, ANS WER SHEET 1.

Lee Beaty:

Your "Health For Life" articles give excellent advice on simple lifestyle. changes to improve

health. Whenever possible, I ride my bicycle to work. While I was a student, I also rode to class.

We need to educate motorists about sharing the road with cyclists, and create bike lanes to encour-

age more people to go from point A to point B while getting some exercise, saving fuel and impro-

ving the environment.

Roberto Anson:

You had a fascinating exploration in your " Health For Life" articles. Technology often makes us give up responsibility for our health. The United States has the best medical technology but une-qual access to care. The point is that, increasingly, only the healthy and well-off can affOfd health care. Your advice to skip the heart scan and spend the money on a health club membership shifts the focus from technology to personal responsibility.

Fred Leeds:

Dr. Nancy Rigotti 's "Kicking the Habit" is tried, but not necessarily true advice. As a for-mer three-pack-a-day smoker, I tried these approaches many times with no success until I finally accepted a fundamental truth about myself. Only after I got my mind set to the point where my de-sire to quit smoking was stronger than the desire to continue was I able to put the cigarettes down.

Bill Wittig:

It is well documented that people with the Type D personality have chemicals in their brains that differ from those of normal people. Many of them never get mental health treatment because they work, have families and by all observable criteria are functioning well. They do not realize their problem. What might prevent the Type D personality from having a heart attack is some psy- chological treatment as well as fish oil.

Kristin Linklater:

Your magazine tells me that not only must I exercise to avoid heart attacks, but I must be hap-py. I must laugh a lot, or my heart will be starved of necessary chemicals. I must have friends and community to support me, or I'll certainly die soon. I tried to take the Type D personality test that will determine whether I'm going to die of negativity, but your column headings, "False, Less false, Neutral, Less true, True, "make it impossible to figure out my behavior.

Now match the name of each person, (6/ t0 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

Statements

[A] You can hardly force yourself to do a thing until you feel likedoing it

[B] Mental health treatment may help prevent some physical prob-lems.

[C] We' d better count more on regular exercise than medical care.

[D] I"m not interested in taking any behavior. test proposed in magazines. [E] Cycling is good for health as well as for our surroundings.

[ F ] To save money and improve health, I quit driving to work.

[ G] I'm still puzzled as to whether your advice and the listed personality details suit me or not. 61. Lee Beaty
