1.Thomas Hardy,probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of our time,was born on June 2,1840,in Dorsetshire,England.He died on January 11,1928.In his youth,Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet,but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect,winning a prize for design.The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.
    For five years he worked hard to practise writing poetry,but when he was twenty-seven,Hardy turned to fiction.His first story was accepted two years later,but upon the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it.His first novel,Desperate Remedies,appeared in 1871.During the next twenty-five years he published fourteen novels and two collections of short stories.
    Under the Greenwood Tree (1872)he never surpassed(超越)in happy and delicate perfection of art.This and his next novel,A pair of Blue Eyes (1873),begin to show deep irony(讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardy's writings.
    Far from the madding Crowd (1874)was his first popular success.In it is shown Hardy's amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters,an organic part of the action of his story.This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment,which included The Return of the Native,Tess of D'Urbervilles,his masterpiece,and Jude the Obscure.Not until he was fifty-eight years old was his first collection of poems published,and he was sixty-four when the first part of The Dymats,surprised the literary world.

9.Royale is surrounded by deep blue waters of Lake Superior,the largest freshwater lake on Earth.The only way to get there is by boat or sea plane.The National Park Service operates shuttle boats that take visitors to Isle Royale.The boats leave from two Michigan ports.A boat trip to Isle Royale takes three to five hours.Waters are often extremely rough.
    Modern copper mining began in the late 1800s,resulting in large areas of the island being burned.This led to settlement development.Soon,Isle Royale became popular for summer homes.It became a national park on April 3,1940.In 1980,officials named it an International Biosphere Reserve(生物圈保护区)because of its unique ecosystem.
    Isle Royale offers hiking,camping,boating,and even scuba diving.The National Park Service protects 11sunken(沉没的)boats for divers to explore.They are reminders of Lake Superior's commercial shipping history.The sunken wooden ship called The America is one of the most popular dive sites.The America carried passengers,mail,and supplies to many towns along the shores of Lake Superior.It first launched in 1898,and was used until 1928,when it was damaged.It sank to the bottom of the lake soon after.
    Visitors to Isle Royale share the trails with a well-studied population of wolves.Scientists believe wolves walked there during a freeze of the lake sometime in the 1940s.Researchers closely record their population numbers.Much of the research takes place during the winter,when the trees are bare.The researchers fly over the island to observe the animals from above.
    Animal research is the only winter activity going on at Isle Royale.The national park is closed each year in late October because of the terrible weather conditions and reopens in spring time the next year.
    But for the other months of the year,Isle Royale offers green forests,and clear blue waters.Its excellent scenery and unusual location keep visitors returning year after year.

8.When her five daughters were young,Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity(团结).To show this,she held up one chopstick,representing one person.Then she easily broke it into two pieces.Next,she tied several chopsticks together,representing a family.She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks.This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996,with three generations of Ans working together.Now the Ans'corporation makes more than $20 million each year.Although they began with a small restaurant,they had big dreams,and they worked together.Now they are a big success.
