三、阅读理解
Rachel Louise Carson was born in 1907,in Springdale, a town in Western Pennsylvania. The Carson family lived on a 65-acre farm at the top of a hill just above the Allegheny River. It was Rachel Carson's mother, a former school teacher, who instilled(逐渐灌输) in her daughter a strong interest in nature. She was also greatly influenced by Anna Botsford Comstock's Handbook of Nature Study. One of Comstock's lessons was that "nature's laws are not to be avoided"一a truth that would have an influence on Rachel Carson s life.
In addition to her interest in nature, Carson grew up with a love for reading and writing, and animals and the natural world —the sea in particular —were favourite subjects for both. Some of her favourite authors included Beatrix Potter, Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, and another important woman of her time, Gene Stratton-Porter. Carson had her first story published at the age of 10,in St. Nicholas Magazine. She continued to write throughout her teens, and graduated at the top of her high school class in 1925.
Rachel Carson chose English as her major at the Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham University), but the influence of biology professor Mary Scott Skinker caused her to rethink her career goals. Although career opportunities for women in the sciences were extremely rare at that time, Carson changed her major to biology in her junior year.
It was clearly the right move. Carson graduated from college with great honour in 1929. She continued on to graduate work, studying zoology and genetics at Johns Hopkins University, and earning her master's degree in zoology in 1932. Although she had been concerned that, in her new field, she would have to give up writing, Carson discovered that her new focus actually gave her something to write about.
