三、阅读理解(每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or perhaps not even born, Dad, Mum, Mary, Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin. They drove away and left it alone and empty in the clearing among the big trees, and they never saw that little house again. They were going to the Indian country. Dad said there were too many people in the Big Woods now. The path that went by the little house had become a road. Almost every day Laura and Mary stopped their playing and watched in surprise a wagon(四轮马车) slowly passing by on that road.
Wild animals would not stay in a country where there were so many people. Dad
did not like to stay, either. He liked a country where the wild animals lived without being afraid. He liked to see the little fawns(小鹿) and their mothers looking at him
from the woods, and the fat, lazy bears eating berries(浆果) in the wild-berry lands. In the long winter evenings he talked to Mum about the Western countries. In the West the land was level, and there were no trees. The grass grew thick and high. There the wild animals ran as though they were in the grass and there were no settlers. Only Indians lived there.

My favorite music
My favorite music is rock. This kind of music is exciting. Being a rock singer is my dream. Rock started from the USA in the 1950s. The singers mainly want to express their real feelings for freedom and the ideas against the reality. Elvis Presley is the most popular rock singer. I have already listened to many of his songs. And I can even sing many of his songs.
In my opinion, these songs always make me relaxed after hard work and encourage me to work hard.
