Dear Reader:

I receive many letters from children and can't answer them all -- there wouldn't be time enough in a day．That is why I am sending you this printed reply to your letter．I'll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.

Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte's Web? Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse．That's how the story of Stuart Little got started.

As for Charlotte's Web, I like animals and my barn is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours．One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die．This made me sa

So I started thinking of ways to save a pig's life．I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving．Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation(拯救) on a farm．Three years after I started writing it, it was publishe

(I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)

Sometimes I'm asked how old I was when I started to write, and what made me want to write．I started early – as soon as I could spell．In fact, I can't remember any time in my life when I wasn't busy writing．I don't know what caused me to do it, or why I enjoyed it, but I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction is trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures．I was no good at drawing, so I used words instea

As I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.

Some of my readers want me to visit their school．Some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book．And some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets．Much as I'd like to, I can't go visiting．I can't send books, either – you can find them in a bookstore or a library．Many children assume that a writer owns (or even makes) his own books．This is not true – books are made by the publisher．If a writer wants a copy, he must buy it．That's why I can't send books．And I do not send autographs – I leave that to the movie stars．I live most of the year in the country, in New Englan

From our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountains．I live near my married son and three grandchildren.

Are my stories true, you ask? No, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events．In real life, a family doesn't have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn't spin words in her we

In real life, a swan doesn't blow a trumpet．But real life is only one kind of life – there is also the life of the imagination．And although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too – truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.

Yours sincerely,

White

Here’s something that might make you feel a little better the next time you have a serious case of hanger - you’re not being irrational or unreasonable, it’s just science．

The concept of being ‘hangry’ - angry because you’re hungry - comes up among ScienceAlert staff．But there’s nothing wrong with being hangry - there’s a scientific reason why having low blood sugar can make some people aggressive．

According to a study published earlier this year, blood sugar levels directly related to how married couples were likely to treat each other．Working with 107 couples over three weeks, the researchers, led by psychologist Brad Bushman from the Ohio State University in the US, found that when individuals experienced lower than usual blood sugar levels, they became increasingly aggressive and mean towards their significant others．

This was measured through the use of a good old-fashioned voodoo doll — the volunteers were each given one, along with 51 pins, to represent their spouse-a partner in marriage．Each person’s aggressive impulses（沖動(dòng)）were then measured based on how many pins they stuck into their spouse-dolls every night throughout the experiment．

Aggression, on the other hand, was measured by volunteers blasting（炮轟）their spouse with a loud and unpleasant noise in the headphones they had to wear．

Turns out that the volunteers who experienced the lowest blood sugar levels stuck more pins into their voodoo dolls, and forced louder and longer blasts of noise on their spouses than those who had plenty of glucose(葡萄糖) in their system．

"People are often the most aggressive against the people to whom they are closest — intimate partners,” the researchers concluded．"Intimate partner violence might be partly a result of poor self-control．Self-control of aggressive impulses requires energy, and much of this energy is provided by glucose from the food we eat．"

As Susannah Locke explains at Vox, glucose is the only molecule（分子） that our brains will accept as fuel．This means, quite simply, that when we’re not producing enough glucose, our brains won’t function properly．It also means that we lack the energy we need to maintain self-control, which is why we’re more likely to hit or criticize others suddenly in an uncharacteristic manner when we haven’t eaten in a while．

1.According the passage, what can make you feel better?

A．Knowing that your are being irrational．

B．Knowing that your are being angry

C．Knowing that you are being hungry

D．Knowing that you are angry for a reason．

2.How did the researchers get the final result of the experiments in various ways?

A．By making good use of a doll to represent their spouse．

B．By using voodoo dolls , pins and headphones to measure their aggression．

C．By measuring aggression based on how many pins they stuck into their dolls

D．By measuring aggressive impulses in terms of their blasting their spouse with a noise．

3.Which of the following is right according to Susannah Locke?

A．Glucose is our brain's fuel．

B．We lack energy to control ourselves．

C． Without glucose, our brain will function properly．

D．We are more likely to lose control if we produce enough glucose．

4.From the passage, in which condition will you be more likely to feel angry?

A．At 8:00 a．m, you are driving a car alone after having breakfast．

B．At 11．00 a．m, you are in your office with colleagues waiting for the lunch．

C．At 5:00 p．m, you are cleaning the house at home while your wife is cooking．

D．At 6:00 p．m, you are taking a walk with your family after having dinner．

5.What did researchers conclude from the research?

A．Lower blood sugar level had less pins stuck than higher blood sugar．

B．Poor self-control could cause aggression between intimate partners．

C．People are often the most aggressive against the strangers．

D．People with more glucose force louder blasts of noise

6.What does the underlined word “aggressive” in the second paragraph mean?

A．有進(jìn)取心的

B．好爭(zhēng)斗的

C．積極的

D．樂觀的

Nearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman．In fact，in the swimming pool—she is only getting faster．

Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms．Nagaoka．So far she has broken 25 records．But she began competing when she was much younger—at 88.

Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants．Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.

Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old．Until she passed away this month，the oldest person in the world was also from Japan．Misao Okawa was born in 1 898．She said her secrets for longevity，or long life，were good genes，regular sleep，sushi and exercise.

C

My father was, by nature, a cheerful, kindly man．Until he was thirty-four years old he worked as a farm-hand for Thomas Butterworth near the town of Bidwell, Ohio．On Saturday evenings he drove his horse into town to spend a few hours in social intercourse with other farm-hands．He was quite happy in his position in life．

It was in his thirty-fifth year that father married my mother, a school teacher．Something happened to the two people．The American passion for getting up in the world took possession of them．Mother induced father to give up his place as a farm-hand, sell his horse and start an independent enterprise of his own．They rented ten acres of poor stony land and launched into chicken raising．

One inexperienced in such matters can have no idea of the many and tragic things that can happen to a chicken．It is born out of an egg, lives for a few weeks as a tiny fluffy thing, then becomes naked, gets diseases, and dies．A few hens, and now and then a rooster, intended to serve God’s mysterious ends, struggle through to maturity．The hens lay eggs out of which come other chickens and the awful cycle is thus made complete．It is all unbelievably complex．Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms．One hopes for so much from a chicken and is so awfully disappointed．Small chickens, look so bright and in fact so awfully stupid．They are so much like people they mix one up in one’s judgments of life．If disease does not kill them they wait until your expectations are thoroughly aroused and then walk under the wheels of a carriage．

In later life I have seen how a literature has been built up on the subject of fortunes to be made out of the raising of chickens．It is intended to be read by the gods who have just eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil．It is a hopeful literature and declares that much may be done by simple ambitious people who own a few hens．Do not be misguided by it．It was not written for you．Go hunt for gold on the frozen hills of Alaska, put your faith in the honesty of a politician, believe if you will that good will defeat evil, but do not read and believe the literature that is written concerning the hen．

For ten years my father and mother struggled to make our chicken farm pay and then they gave up that struggle and began another．They moved into the town of Bidwell, Ohio and began the restaurant business, with the tiny hope of looking for a new place from which to start on our upward journey through life．

1.Which of the following is the right order of what happened?

a．Father got married to Mother, a school teacher．

b．Father quitted working at Butterworth’s．

c．My parents launched a business in Bidwell．

d．Father socialized in town on Saturday evenings

e．My parents started their job of chicken farming．

A．d-a-b-e-c

B．d-a-c-b-e

C．d-b-a-e-c

D．d-b-a-c-e

2.By saying “Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms”, the author means that chicken farming _____．

A．is so complex that only philosophers can comprehend it

B．gives you a philosophical insight into life

C．exposes you to a complete circle of life

D．a(chǎn)llows you the time to judge the life

3.In the author’s opinion, the literature about chicken raising _____．

A．is full of hope and positive energy

B．proves the victory of good over evil

C．persuades you to believe in politicians

D．tends to be blindly optimistic about its rewards

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’ dream of rise to success?

A．a(chǎn)pproving

B．optimistic

C．skeptical

D．indifferent
