A
Rachel Carson (1907—1964) was a writer, biologist, and environmentalist. As a trained scientist and a great writer, Rachel Carson did much to shape people’s attitudes towards the natural world. Born in Springdale, Pennsylvania, she shared her mother’s love of books and feelings for the beauty and mystery of nature during her childhood. At Pennsylvania College for Women, she first majored in English, but later learned biology. The imagination of a creative writer with a scientific love for fact made her books successful. After graduating with honors, she won a scholarship to Johns Hopkins University, where she earned an A in zoology.
When her father died suddenly in 1935, she took a job as an aquatic (水生的) biologist. An article for the Atlantic Monthly led to her first book, Under the Sea Wind (1941). During World War II she wrote a series of booklets on wildlife refuges (保护区). Meanwhile she had been working on a book that would make her known throughout the world. Published in 1951, The Sea Around Us became an immediate best-seller, won many honors and literary awards, and was translated into thirty-two languages. After earning enough money, she could devote full time to writing. Her next book, The Edge of the Sea (1955), was also a success.
Rachel Carson’s last book, Silent Spring (1962), became one of the most famous books of the last half of the twentieth century. Ever since the end of World War II, when the insecticide (杀虫剂) DDT came on the market, she had been concerned about the uncontrolled use of the poisons: their effect on wildlife, on human life, and on the environment. She decided to speak out. The result was a book showing how modern society has been poisoning the earth on a worldwide scale. “A few thousand words from her,” wrote a newspaper editor, “and the world took a new direction.”
56. What made Rachel Carson’s books popular?
A. Her special college education.
B. Her plenty of working experience
C. Her beauty and interest in persons.
D. Her imagination and strong feeling for nature.
57. Which of the following is TURE about Rachel Carson according to the passage?
A. Her book The Edge of the Sea helped her earn enough money.
B. Her mother fell into the habit of reading in her childhood.
C. Her book The Sea Around Us made her famous at once.
D. She was unconcerned about the conditions of wildlife.

It is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it. The word “huh?” is in worldwide use, a study found.
Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include “huh?”, or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly, the word is an absolutely necessary part of speech. Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we haven’t heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.
But while other words used in the same context, such as “sorry” or “what”, vary widely across languages, “huh?” remai
