I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother,as if drawn by a magnet (磁铁).I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her. 37 I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age,that she was thirty-two. 38 She had just sold some parts from her car to buy food. There she sat with her children huddled (依偎) around her,and seemed to know that my pictures might help her,and so she helped me.
39 It made the government deliver food aid to the Nipomo camp,where several thousand people were hungry and living in terrible conditions. However,by that point Owens and her family had moved on.
Lange's photo became an image of the Great Depression(大萧条) ，but the migrant mother's identity remained a mystery to the public for many years because Lange hadn’t asked her name. 40Owens died at the age of 80 in 1983. In 19987a pnnt of the image,signed by Lange,sold for $244 500 at auction(拍卖) .
A. Not every picture tells the whole story.
B. The photo taken that day got a chance for him.
C. But I do remember she asked me no questions.
D. The image of Owens was soon published in newspapers.
E. In 1960,Lange gave the following account of the experience.
F. In the late 1970s,a reporter tracked down Owens at her California home.

Many American high schoolers participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular(课外的)activities such as sports and clubs. Personally,I enjoy playing tennis for my school's varsity team(校队) .Throughout the past decade,my high school,South,has been consistently ranked as one of the top teams in New Jersey.
In my first year of high school,I was espe-cially nervous for tryouts(选拔赛) .The night before,I still remember lying in bed,feeling both anxiety and excitement. When I got to my school's courts,I saw a crowd of unfamiliar faces. Coach Crawbuck stressed how the team would be set up I through challenge matches. Afterwards,the coach ：paired us together to begin playing games. Unlike many other sports,tennis relies only on the individual player's abilify. Because of this,I had ：to make sure that all my points were not only consistent but strategic(有战略的) as well.
At the beginning,I was ranked number 19 on the team. The second year,I improved greatly,ranking number 10. One day,I visited NJ.com to even find an introduction to myself!It was exciting to see that I was listed as a part of the tennis community.
