　　Beatrix Potter was a great English writer and artist, best known for her children's books featuring animal characters such as in the children's classic-The Tale of Peter Rabbit．

　　Beatrix was born into a rich London-based family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters．

　　During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in Scotland and also the Lake District．It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife．She studied the area's natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously．But her old-fashioned, Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement, thinking it inappropriate for a young lady．However, her study and watercolour paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology．

　　In her 30's, Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid's book, The Tale of Pew Rabbit．Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne．This caused a great disagreement with her parents, who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status．Sadly, Warne died before the marriage ceremony．

　　Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating(绘图)kid's books full-time．Using profits from her books, Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District．She extended the property with additional purchases of neighbouring land over time．In her 40's, Bestrix married William Heelis, a local lawyer．She ended up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children．In all she authored 23 publications．

　　Beatrix died on December 22, 1943, and left the majority of her property to the National Trust．Her books carry on selling well globally, in many different languages．Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet, movies, and cartoons．

　　Such is her reputation, and that of the characters from her publications, that many Beatrix Potter statues have been created．These tiny Beatrix Potter statues which include pretty much all the actual characters in her publications have become highly valued by art collects and fans of her literature throughout the world．

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children．On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special．

However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington．A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon（布道）in 1909．Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her．It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man．Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910．

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day．Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died．

When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card．Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental（感伤的）．Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them．Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad．

Modern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood,and has also carelessly burned them. More than that,though,he has also interfered （干涉） with the invisible bonds between the living things in the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of man’s interference can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau （凯亚巴布高原） of northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.

The Kaibab had a storybook forest of largesized pine,Douglas fir,white fir,blue and Engelmann spruce. In 1882 a visitor noted,"We,who ... have wandered through its forests and parks,have come to regard it as the most enchanting region it has ever been our privilege （特权） to visit."This was also the living place of the Rocky Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. The forest also had mountain lions,timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too rapidly.

Then,in 1906,President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing off the deer’s enemies. In 25 years’ time,6,250 mountain lions,wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program,there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab,by 1924,there were about 100,000.

The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of deer was permitted again. This caused a slight decrease in the deer herd （鹿群），but a far greater loss resulted from starvation （饥饿） and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By 1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.

The destruction of the environment of the Kaibab resulted from .

A.turning the forest into cultivated land

B.interfering with natural cycle of forest life

C.forest fires caused by man’s carelessness

D.cutting the trees for building materials

"Engelmann spruce"（Para. 2） is most likely the name of .

A.a tree    B.an animal    C.a mountain    D.a game

The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in  years’ time.

A.25      B.6           C.18           D.12

Years later,large numbers of deer in the Kaibab died mainly because of .

A.the cold             B.the organized kill

C.the shortage of food   D.the poor management
