B Interview with Cartoonist Adrienne Hedger During the past few years,cartoonist (Adrienne Hedger has provided the world with her humor.We caught up with her for an interview.And here are some highlights from it. About cartooning Drawing cartoons had been a hobby forever.I'd make cards for friends and family with my drawings.But mostly writing was my job until one of my friends who worked for the American Girl magazine wanted me to do drawings.I did the art and that was the first time that I had ever seen my drawings in a book.It's really fun. I record all my ideas and the things I see'in'my own life.I see everything in comics.The very first time I saw my husband,my thought was,"I know exactly how I would draw that guy because he had this really square face."I prefer to see everything as a cartoon. About her favorite cartoon It's really about my family.Early on,Claire dropped a roll of toilet paper into the toilet.It was a clean toilet,and we had to get the paper out and dry it off.I did a cartoon about that and that one was funny.We could not believe what happened.I really enjoy making a cartoon about a personal family moment. I have a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old,both girls.They often are fine.But the one thing that they do not like is how I draw their clothing.Clearly,it's not attractive.I just draw T-shirts with long sleeves(f)and long trousers.And there are a lot of complaints about that. I created one cartoon recently where my younger daughter Claire wrote a sentence for homework and then fell off the chair.She was very tired.And there's another one where she holds onto my leg and wants me to take her into the kitchen to get a snack.Those are really my favorite ones for some reason. My older daughter Kate doesn't pay that much attention.I spend my whole life watching them and cartooning about them.And the older they get,the less they care.Kate said,"If I see you drawing anyone rolling their eyes(翻白眼，I know it's a cartoon about me.” 51.According to the article,Adrienne Hedger was a(n)_before becoming a cartoonist.

We decided not to tell the kids.Marla knew that once our three daughters understood that their mother had been given 1,000 days to live,they'd start counting. They would not be able to enjoy school,friends,their teams,or birthday parties.They'd be watching too closely how she looked.moved,acted,ate,or didn't.Marla wanted her daughters to stay children:happy,relaxed,and confident that tomorrow would look like yesterday. In 2009.Marla's doctor called to tell her that she had early-stage cancer.After several medical operations,she needed eight rounds of chemotherapy (to clear the cancer found in her body. Our kids were 8,9,and 11 at the time,and they understood that their mother was under treatment,but we never told them the news we soon leamed from hospital:Marla had the most serious cancer cell,and she had little chance to stay alive.Her doctor directly told her:"Go to live your next 1.000 days in the best way you know how." Though she was badly ill,Marla went on running long distances,for her own mental fitness,and more importantly,so her kids would see her strong.I knew these miles were a wonder.Marla survived a little more than 3,500 days instead of 1,000.In her lifetime,she celebrated25 anniversaries(周年纪念日)，S7 children's birthdays,three college acceptances,. and two high-school graduations.But the next numbers make me sad:Zero college graduations. Zero weddings.Zero grandchildren. Marla said to me at the hospital,“No glory(辉t煌的)days for us.We almost had the kids out of the house,and now you're alone.I'm so sorry."I replied,"Sorry about what?You lived life to the fullest and made life worth living.I admired your power and courage.You already outran science.Thank you for taking me on your magic journey.Rest easy,my one and only girlfriend." 56.If the children were told about Marla's illness.they would A.remain active B.study harder C.stay out with friends D.live with worries 57.How did Marla face her illness? 九年级英语第7页共12页 CS扫描全能王 】亿人都在用的扫描Ap阳 A.She continued sports activities.

D DDo you like blueberries?If so,the next time you're about to eat these delicious berries,take a good look at them.A 2For the most part,blueberries aren't blue.If you carefully take off the skin of one blueberry,you'll see that the fruit inside is white.If you rub (the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper,you'll see a reddish-purple color.And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry,the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black.But the moment you pick one,it does look blue.What's going on?A 3Well,there are two ways to create colors.The first is through pigments ()Pigments show the color of the light they don't take in.The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll )a green pigment.Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn't take in green light.It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light.Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light.In fact,there aren't any “true blue"pigments in the plant world._▲ ④The second way to make color is through“structural color(结构光)”，This happens when the surface makes some colors of light look different.Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD?These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD's thin layers ()These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes.A 5Blueberries also create"structural color"in their own way.The berries look black when they're ripe(成热的)，but the plants build a thin layer of wax(蜡)on their outside..This layer is only 0.4%of a centimeter thick,but it gives the berries their blue look.The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color.They eat the berries and spread the seeds(种子)far and wide. Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting.The fruit is beautiful,but its beauty is only skin deep! 61.According to the article,after you gently rubthe outside of a blueberry,it almost looks A.blue B.white C.black D.reddish-purple 62.Which of the following pietures correctly shows why a leaf looks green to us? 九年级英语第8页共12页 CS扫描全能王 亿人幕在用的扫描 D 63.Blueberries appear blue in the same way that A.a CD appears colorful B.a tree leaf appears green C.they appear black when ripe D.a fallen leaf appears yellow 64.The sentence"Then ask yoursef:Are blueberries really blue?"should be put A.at the end of Paragraph 1 B.at the end of Paragruph 2 C.at the end of Paragraph 3 D.at the end of Paragraph 4 65.Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?
