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 of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the great plains 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 plains, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently."
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
Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground.
The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically settles herself on the nest and spreads her feather skirts about her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold.
It is five weeks before the first downy white owlet peeks its way out of the shell. As the young birds feather out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They clamor for food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles. Later in the season baby crows are taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall prey to the hungry family. It is nearly ten weeks before fledglings leave the nest to search for their own food. The parent birds weary of family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish hunting ranges of their own.
What is the topic of this passage?
A.Raising a Family of Great Horned Owls
B.Mating Rituals of Great Horned Owls
C.Nest Building of Great Horned Owls
D.Habits of Young Great Horned Owls

听力原文:Speaker: It is amusing to watch some of my friends who can come to a decision tight away, and then some others who can't. Some people can look at a menu, can pick up a menu and tight away know what they're going to have for dinner that night. The others will ponder and look at the thing and not be able to reach any kind of decision for a long, long time without some help. I was thinking about this when I was talking to my sister the other day, and I thought about how her children come to decisions very quickly and I was thinking about this and one of the reasons might be that she has given them a great deal of responsibility at a very young age. She has allowed them to make decisions on their own. She takes them shopping many times, and she allows them to choose clothes of their own liking, and I think in a way this teaches a great deal of responsibility. Of course, they consult her sometimes, but many times they are able to decide on something on their own, and I was thinking about my friends and how some of them were not able to make a decision on their own and maybe their parents didn't allow them to decide their own clothes.
Why does the speaker think her sister's children come to decisions quickly?
A.They have taken some drugs.
B.They are more intelligent than adults.
C.They are giving much responsibility.
D.Their decisions are usually worse.
A.It will be a great success.
B.It will be popular but only takes time.
C.It will be a great risk to keep it.
D.It is hard to say.

Thanksgiving with the Watsons
People came to America from every country in the world and brought the traditions of their ancestors with them. Thus, most American traditions are not really American. But Thanksgiving (感恩节 ) is different because it started in America. So it is a truly American tradition.
Life provides many good and bad things. Every year, in November, Thanksgiving Day reminds us of the good things in life, and people are thankful. On this day people usually eat turkey and great quantities of other foods. Jesse has decided to spend Thanksgiving with David and Elizabeth Watson because he likes them, and because he cannot go to his parents&39; home in Chicago.
Elizabeth&39;s nickname (昵称 ) is Betty, and people usually call her that. She is the secretary of Jesse&39;s boss. Jesse got to know the Watsons two years ago, and he and Dave have become good friends. Sometimes they go fishing or to a ball game together.
The Watsons live in a small apartment in a suburb of NewYork City. The offices where Betty works are in downtown NewYork, and she has to take a bus and two subway trains to go to work every day. It takes her about one hour to get there. She finds the trip boring and tiring. She wants to stay home in order to take care of the family and enjoy the children. The Watsons have three children. Their daughter Sue is in the fourth grade and their son Paul is in the second grade. They also have a two-year-old daughter, Ann.
The children like Jesse; he is their hero. He tells them stories about foreign countries, about Africa and China, about the Pacific and Japan; he has never even seen most of these countries. He knows about fast cars and new inventions. The Watson children think that Jesse is full of adventures; he is fascinating to them. Frequently he takes them to the park and joins them in their games.
Today Jesse brought Sue a record of her favorite music, because she has a new record player. He also brought Paul a toy truck and Ann a plastic (塑料 ) book with bright pictures, and Betty a bunch of flowes, Betty cooked a nice turkey, and they all ate too much. After dinner the children wanted to go out to the park with Jesse. But they had to stay home, because it was raining. Later, Dave and Jesse sat down in front of the TV to watch a football game.
Thanksgiving is not a truly American tradition. 查看材料
