Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Eugene O'Neill, who was born in 1888, in New York, was a leading American drama writer and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936.His father was a successful touring actor. Because of that, Eugene spent his early childhood in hotels, on trains, and backstage. Although later in his life he grew to hate his father for not giving him security in his early years and a loving, comfortable family, he had the theater in his blood. As a student, O'Neill went to boarding schools but spent the summers in a moderate house his family owned. He left Princeton University in 1907, only about one year after he entered it, to start what he later called his real education in “life experience”. At the age of 24, he was hired as a reporter and poetry column writer for the New London Telegraph. O'Neill didn't cut a figure in playwriting until the summer of 1916.Before that, he had written awkward plays that were hardly accepted by the mainstream of American theater. While O'Neill was only one of those whose plays were produced by the theater, he led the group to success because of his contribution within the next few years. Between 1916 and 1920, the theater produced all of O'Neill's one­act sea plays. By the time his first full­length play, Beyond the Horizon, was produced on Broadway on February 2, 1920 at the Morosco Theater, the young playwright already had a small reputation. Theater critics spoke highly of Beyond the Horizon for its tragic realism. The play brought O'Neill more public attention, as well as his first Pulitzer Prize, apart from which he won another three for Anna Christie, Strange Interlude, and Long Day's Journey into Night. Over the next two decades, O'Neill continued to gain reputation nationally and globally. He became the most widely produced dramatist after Shakespeare and Bernard Shaw.

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 hair­raising 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.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇书评。本文简要介绍Dorothy Wickenden的书籍并对其进行了评价。 5．Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains?
