C In 1849, when John Muir was 11 years old, he and his family moved from Scotland to the United States. They lived in Wisconsin, and right away John fell in love with the prairies, wetlands, oak forests, and lakes. He called it the “beautiful Wisconsin wilderness”. 1 ______ The hard work like plowing fields and digging a well made him strong in both mind and body. In his free time, John caught turtles and frogs in the rivers and lakes. 2  _______ He enjoyed the lovely wildflowers that grew on the prairies. He loved learning, too, and at night he studied and read about many subjects. 3 _______ As a young man, John tried different kinds of work. He built clocks and designed machines that made farming easier. 4 _______ He took classes at the University of Wisconsin. He travelled through Canada and then Florida, studying nature. But at age 29, he had a serious eye problem. He almost lost his vision. He was afraid that he would never see again. So when his vision returned, John knew he needed to follow his dream of studying nature. A year later, when John saw the Sierra Nevada mountains in California for the first time, he began to understand that he found his calling in life. “I came to life in the cool winds and the clear waters of the mountains,” he wrote. John spent the rest of his life protecting the wild places he loved so much. He was a gifted (有天赋的) writer and wrote about the beauty of the land. In 1892, John Muir started the Sierra Club.

She prepared some fruitcake, some jam and some of the raspberry cordial in the cupboard. Diana poured herself a glass of raspberry cordial and drank it. She found it tasty and drank two more. Suddenly, she turned pale and then left Green Gables hurriedly. On Monday, Anne went to see if Diana was feeling better. She soon ran back home with tears rolling down her cheeks. Marilla asked her what had happened. Mrs. Barry said that Anne had sent Diana home drunk on Saturday and never let Diana play with her. Marilla went to the cupboard and then came back to the kitchen with a bottle of wine, trying not to smile. Anne gave Diana wine instead of raspberry cordial by mistake and she didn’t know the difference between the two. One evening after a few days, while doing homework, Anne saw Diana standing at the door and looked worried. Matthew was home and Marilla had gone to town with the Barrys and Mrs. Lynde. Diana said nervously that her sister Minnie May was sick and their parents were away in town. Anne had looked after many children before and knew what to do. They needed lots of hot water, put the fire on and gave Diana’s sister some medicine. After Matthew came with the doctor, Minnie May was sleeping and Anne explained to the doctor what she had done. Later on, he told Mr. and Mrs. Barry, “That little red-headed girl is very smart. She saved that baby’s life.” That night, Anne was invited to the Barry’s for a lovely dinner. They all said wonderful things about her, and she felt very special.
