Why did they go then? Well,they wanted to do something useful.Soon,however,they realized what they had undertaken. They moved in with a local family,the Harrisons,and,like them,had little privacy,rare baths,and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning.Some mornings,Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold.In spring,the snow was replaced by mud over ice. In Wickenden's book,she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism,which of course influenced the girls' decision to go to Elkhead.A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads,which entailed(牵涉) drilling through the Rockies,often in blinding snowstorms.The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy's return to Auburn. Wickenden is a very good storyteller.The sweep of the land and the stoicism(坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing.Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff,on her horse,looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behind the mountains,it shed a rosy glow all around them.Then a full moon rose.The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes,coyotes,mice,and varying hares,which turned white in the winter.” 1.Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains? To teach in a school. To study American history. To write a book. To do sightseeing. 2.What can we learn about the girls from Paragraph 3? They enjoyed much respect. They had a room with a bathtub. They lived with the local kids. They suffered severe hardships. 3.Which part of Wickenden's writing is hair-raising? The extreme climate of Auburn. The living conditions in Elkhead. The railroad building in the Rockies. The natural beauty of the West. 4.What is the text? A news report. A book review. A children's story. A diary entry. (2023·新课标Ⅱ卷) Reading Art:Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book,represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history,in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists' representations of books and reading,we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school,with the books as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume,deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago,but they record moments we can all relate to.  Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智),wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press,books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently,as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers,pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view,the printed book is certainly ancient,but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function,a book must be activated by a user:the cover opened,the pages parted,the contents reviewed,perhaps notes written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked,a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private,“off-line” activity. 5.Where is the text most probably taken from? An introduction to a book. An essay on the art of writing. A guidebook to a museum. A review of modern paintings. 6.What are the selected artworks about? Wealth and intellect. Home and school. Books and reading. Work and leisure. 7.What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean? Understand. Paint. Seize. Transform. 8.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader? The printed book is not totally out of date. Technology has changed the way we read. Our lives in the 21st century are networked. People now rarely have the patience to read. (2024·全国甲卷) “I didn't like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature.I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending.Prof.Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn't have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them.  This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again.From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I'd pick up a love romance.If I wanted an ending I couldn't guess, I'd pick up a mystery (悬疑小说).One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction.Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end—that's hard.It's hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers.You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn't seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what's right for the characters. That's why this issue(期) of Writer's Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you're doing.If it's short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing.Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won't tell you what your ending should be—that's up to you and the story you're telling—but it might provide what you need to get there. 9.Why did the author go to Prof.Gracie? To discuss a novel. To submit a book report. To argue for a writer. To ask for a reading list. 10.What did the author realize after seeing Prof.Gracie? Writing is a matter of personal preferences. Readers are often carried away by characters. Each type of literature has its unique ending. A story which begins well will end well. 11.What is expected of a good ending? It satisfies readers' taste. It fits with the story development. It is usually positive. It is open for imagination. 12.Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? To give examples of great novelists. To stress the theme of this issue. To encourage writing for the magazine. To recommend their new books.
