the stars appear in the sky. the views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house. every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. each look reminds us where we are. there is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees. our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. as they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees. the air is clean and fresh. the water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that. the seasons change just outside the door. we watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. the rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. a family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.21. what can be learned from paragraph 2?a. the scenes are colorful and changeable.b. there are many windows in the wooden house.c.

just trying to earn an income. i tried journalism, but i didnt think i was any good, then finance, which i hated. finally, i got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. i loved working with books, although the job that i did was dull. i had enough savings to take a year off work, and i decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. attending a novel writing ma course gave me the structure i needed to write my first 55,000 words. it takes confidence to make a new start theres a dark period in-between where youre neither one thing nor the other. youre out for dinner and people ask what you do, and youre too ashamed to say, “well, im writing a novel, but im not quite sure if im going to get there.” my confidence dived. believing my novel could not be published, i put it aside. then i met an agent（代理商）who said i should send my novel out to agents. so, i did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. i felt a little hope that i might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, i finished the second half of the novel. the next problem was finding a publisher. after two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal that publisher turned out to be the one i once worked for. it feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck of fate, really. when you set out to do something different, theres no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where i now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher to be a published writer is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.29. what does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean?a. i was waiting for good fortune.b. i was trying to find an admirable job.c. i was being aimless about a suitable job.d. i was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.30. the author decided to write a novel _ .a. to finish the writing course b. to realize her own dreamc. to satisfy readers wish d. to earn more money31. how did the writer feel halfway with the novel?a. disturbed. b. ashamed. c. confident. d. uncertain.32. what does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?a. it pays to stick to ones goal.b. hard work can lead to success.c. she feels like being unexpectedly lucky.d. there is no end in sight when starting to do something.d in a recent announcement, harvard and the massachusetts institute of technology（mit）said that they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide. beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edx. “anyone with an internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses,” harvard president drew faust said during a meeting to announce the plan. mit has offered a program called opencourseware for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. it has been used by more than 100 million people. in december, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as mitx, for people who complete certain online courses. harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program. the mitx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform. mit president susan hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first mitx course. she said harvard and mit hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edx platform.“fasten your seatbelts,” hockfield said.other universities, including stanford, yale and carnegie-mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.the harvard-mit program will be monitored by a not-for-profit（非盈利的）organization based in cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. both mit and harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. they also plan to use the edx platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.33. according to this text, edx is _.a. a part of the free mit opencoursewareb. a free computer program by mit and harvardc. a harvard-mit
