Winslow Homer was the second of three sons of Henrietta Benson and Charles Savage Homer. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1836 and grew up in Cambridge. His father was an importer of tools and other goods. His mother was a painter. Winslow got his interest in drawing and painting from his mother. But his father also supported his son’s interest. Once, on a business trip to London, Charles Homer bought a set of drawing examples for his son to copy. Young Winslow used these to develop his early skill.
Winslow’s older brother Charles went to Harvard University in Cambridge. The family expected Winslow would go, too. But, at the time, Harvard did not teach art. So Winslow’s father found him a job as an assistant in the trade of making and preparing pictures for printed media. At age 19, Winslow learned the process of lithography (平版印刷). This work was the only formal training that Winslow ever received in art.
Winslow did this work for about two years. Then the young man decided to become an independent illustrator, someone who makes drawings and pictures for a living.
In 1859, Winslow Homer moved to New York City to work for Harper’s Weekly. Homer also started to paint seriously. He hoped to go to Europe to study painting. But, something would intervene the direction of Winslow Homer’s artistic work. Harper’s magazine would send him to draw pictures of the biggest event in American history since independence. It was the Civil War between the Union and the rebel southern states.
Winslow Homer went to Washington, D.C., in 1861. He drew pictures of the campaign of Union Army General George McClellan the next year. His pictures of the war showed many ways that conflicts affect people.（294 words）

I was thirteen when my father got hurt. Looking back over the years, I sometimes wonder what I could have done differently that day when my father cut down my favorite cherry tree. I should have spat twice over my shoulder when I saw the single magpie (喜鹊), maybe. But that’s the thing about superstitions (迷信). You don’t know how much power they have until you break them.
We lived in a dark shabby house in Bucks. Wood blocks lay over dirt on the floor. That part of England was full of cherry trees.
The rice had caught in the bottom of the pot that morning at breakfast and all I could smell was burned rice. Even now when I think of that day I have the taste of burned rice in my mouth.
“I’m going to cut down the old cherry tree,” my father announced.
“You’ve been saying that for years,” said my mother lightly touching the end of her nose. Her nose ran all year long. Her arms rested on the table, a cup of tea placed between her hands, steam rising into the air. “You’ll never get round to it.”
My stomach, balled into a tight little knot, relaxed itself.
“Millie’s going to cry if you cut it down,” said my younger brother, Simon, his eyes bright as a fox. “Silly Millie, silly Millie.”
“Hold your noise,” said my father, patting Simon on the head. “And put back that butter. That’s a week’s ration (限额) you’ve got on your plate.”
“The war’s over,” said Simon in a low voice. “We haven’t had rationing for ages.” Simon was right. Even sugar had come off points. However, we still occasionally received food parcels from distant cousins in Canada.
My father glared at him and then went on.
“Pigs. Burt says he’ll come and help me take the tree down if he can have some of the wood.”
“No,” I said springing to my feet. “You can’t do it. That’s my tree. Always has been. Always will be. I won’t let you.”
Tom took a piece of toast, watching my reaction. My older brother, he knew what the tree meant to me.
“Now then, Millie,” said my father softening his face. “That tree’s wild. It’s in the way.”
28. The magpie is mentioned to show that __________.
A. Millie got much power on seeing the bird
B. things seemed to go wrong from the beginning
C. the bird caused her father’s getting hurt that day
D. without the bird Millie would have done differently
29. According to the passage, how many kids does the family have at least?
A. 6. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3.
30. By saying “balled into a tight little knot”, the author means that she __________.
A. had a terrible stomachache that morning
B. felt like crying on hearing her brother’s words
C. was afraid of her cherry tree being cut down
D. hated to hear her mother saying that way
31. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. The Great Power of Superstitions
B. The Regretful Day in My Life
C. The Importance of Protecting Trees
D. The Relationship between My Father and Me
D
Are you a forgetful person? You might be able to blame your genes, a new study in the journal Neuroscience Letters suggests.
Researchers from the University of Bonn have identified a variant (变体) on the DRD2 gene that seems to be associated with increased forgetfulness.
Everyone has one of two variants of the DRD2 gene, the difference is just one letter in the genetic code: Some people have the cytosine (C) variant, while others have the thymine (T) variant. The researchers wanted to see how having one variant over another was associated with forgetfulness.
To test this, they analyzed the DRD2 gene of 500 study participants, and also had the participants answer surveys about their forgetfulness (such as how often they misplaced their keys, or forgot names).
Most of the study participants—three quarters of them—had the thymine gene variant, while the other quarter had the cytosine gene variant. Researchers found an association between more forgetfulness problems and having the thymine gene variant of DRD2. Meanwhile, the cytosine gene variant seemed to have a protective effect against forgetfulness.
However, “there are things you can do to compensate for forgetfulness; writing yourself notes or making more of an effort to put your keys down in a specific location—and not just anywhere,” study researcher Dr. Sebastian Markett, of the University of Bonn, said in a statement.
Research has also suggested that some age groups are more forgetful than others. A recent national poll showed that millenials, who were born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s, are actually more likely than seniors to be absent-minded with things like what day of the week it is, where they put their keys and remembering to bring their lunch.
Meanwhile, another study recently published in the journal BMC Psychology showed that men are more likely than women to experience minor memory problems.（311 words）
32. What do we know about the DRD2?
A. It has two similar variants.
B. Some people don’t have it.
C. It’s bad for people’s memory.
D. Everyone has one of its variants.
33. We can infer from the study that __________.
A. most people have the C gene variant
B. about 75% of the study participants are forgetful
C. people with the C gene variant are more forgetful
D. the T gene variant helps improve people’s memory
34. Paragraph 6 is mainly about __________.
A. the result of study
B. how to avoid the forgetfulness
C. w
