Annie Oakley was born in 1860 in Darke County, Ohio. Her family was very poor. She decided to help her family even when she was very young, so she learned to use a gun, and began hunting (打猎) animals for food. She could shoot them without losing the important parts of the meat.
Soon her shooting ability became well known. When she was sixteen, she was invited to a competition with a famous marksman (神枪手), Frank Butler. Annie surprised everyone by winning the competition. Later that year she and Frank married.
In 1882, Annie Oakley and Frank Butler started putting on shows together. Frank Butler was the star of the show and she was his assistant. The famous Native American leader, Sitting Bull, thought so highly of her shooting ability that he called her "Little Sure Shot". Later Annie Oakley became the star of the show and Frank Butler was her assistant. Posters (海报) for the show called her the "Champion Markswoman".
During World War One, Annie Oakley wanted to train a group of women volunteers for the army, but the United States did not accept it.

智趣暑假温故知新系列答案科目：高中英语 来源：2017届河北衡水中学高三上期中考试英语卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
We took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be．Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on．At that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.
My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．
At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．
I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others．
The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees．
Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．
But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．
1.What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?
A．The tiredness of her past family life．
B．Her disappointment at the family road trip．
C．The family’s eagerness to return home．
D．Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road．
2.Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?
A．Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage．
B．Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road．
C．Because she needed a break after the long drive．
D．Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life．
3.What can be the best title of the passage?
A．On the Way Home
B．Never Travel again
C．Escape from a Family Life
D．Life on the Farm

New Orleans, Louisiana, was established as part of the French Empire in 1718.
Its location on the east bank of the Mississippi River gave it control of the American hinerland and it became strategically important to many nations. It was transferred from France to Spain, returned to France, and finally sold by Napoleon to the United States in 1803. The city was the site of a famous battle fought in 1815 between the British, who hoped to control it, and the Americans under General Andrew Jackson.
The riverbed of the Mississippi is constantly silting（淤积）and the river is now actually higher than the city. Levees hold back the river and giant pumps are used to move water from the city into the river.
Although New Orleans has been a part of the United States for almost two centuries, its population takes great pride in its French heritage. Louisiana still retains parts of the Code Napoleon which, for many years, was its only law.
New Orleans is carefree city and it boasts its hot, spicy Creole seafood and its native Dixieland Jazz. The Jackson Square neighborhood maintains its French colonial homes and in other sections are pre-Civil War mansions. Visitors are surprised to find that behind this interesting surface of yesteryear is a busy industrial and port city. Grain and coal come from the Midwest and foreign goods are unloaded here. New Orleans is no longer a sleepy Southern town----but it's still fun to visit.
1. The battle of New Orleans was fought by Jackson against______.
A. France B. Britain C. Spain D. The North
2.According to the passage, the Code Napoleon was _______.
A. an agreement to sell Louisiana
B. a body of laws
C. a city plan
D. a military code for the army
3.Which of the following elements does not apply to the attitude of the citizens of New Orleans?
A. Pride in their French heritage.
B. A desire to retain colonial buildings.
C. A refusal to engage in trade and commerce
D. A praising of Dixieland Jazz.
4. Tourists visiting New Orleans are surprised to encounter _____.
A. Creole food B. Dixieland jazz
C. a busy city D. authentic colonial homes

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news．However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off．
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations．Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing．As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic．The weatherman says it’s going to rain．” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches．Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile!
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus．As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh that bus left five minutes ago．” Dreams of head-cutting ！
It’s not the news that makes someone angry．It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered．Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude．A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way．A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone．Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver．
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this．When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces．
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, ” Oh, that’s all right．I’ll catch the next one．” Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have．
1.In Paragraph 1,the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to ____．
A．make a comparison B．introduce a topic
C．describe a scene D．offer an argument
2.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was ___．
A．friendly B．warm-hearted
C．not considerate D．not helpful
3.From “Dreams of head-cutting!” in Paragraph3, we learn that the writer___．
A．was mad at the sales agent
B．was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
C．wished that the sales agent would have had dreams
D．dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night．
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A．Delivering bad news properly is important in communication．
B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success．
C．Receiving bad news requires great courage．
D．Learning ancient traditions can be useful．

Ways to Have an Amazing Day
I am a big believer in the Law of the Harvest: we harvest what we sow. If we plant the seeds of success every day, we will get a successful harvest. 1.
Try new things
So many of life’s great experience wait just on the other side of our fears or our comfort zone. When the opportunity to try something new comes up, ask yourself, “Why not?” 2. Don’t miss out on the great moments that are waiting all around you every day!
Keep learning
When we were kids it seemed that every day had something new that we had not experienced before. That is why young children will ask their parents “Why?” about a thousand times a week. 3. A lifetime of learning leads to a love for life.
Be kind
It has been said that you can measure a person by how he treats the people who can do nothing for him. How often do you stop to talk to the people you meet with every day？One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. 4. And take a moment to learn a little about them.
Find a purpose
5. It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product, or learn a new hobby or profession.
A. Have one or more big “life goals”.
B. If we don’t plant enough, we cannot have a good harvest.
C. We are learning and growing.
D. You have to make the most of every day in life.
E. Provide meaningful services for other people in any situation.
F. Many of the great moments in life are linked to new experiences.
G. The best way to know more people is to be kind to everyone you meet.
