Harper Lee (1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird( published in 1960) , which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee's only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in US schools. In 2007 Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature. Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared.

The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she hinted that she had a story in progress. In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult. Accusations arose that the 89-year-old Lee was not able to consent to(赞成) the manuscript' s release, and that various patties had signed on her behalf.
Though Lee moved in 1949 to New York, she spent many years guarding her privacy in Monroeville, which served as clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. Like the countless Americans knew her only through her work, they will undoubtedly miss her.
28. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that Harper Lee . A. once starred in a film adapted from her novel B. made great contributions to American literature C. was a most productive writer in America
D. was the greatest writer in American history
29. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out? A. She was afraid to be criticized.
B. She wanted to write another story. C. She didn't want to be bothered. D. She needed to care for her sister.
30. From the text, we know Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman . A. continues the story of her earlier story B. won her lots of honors and awards C. is adapted into a famous film D. tells the story of herself
31. What can be inferred about Harper Lee from the last paragraph? A. She died in 2014 of a stroke.
B. She led a lonely life in her later life. C. She didn' t want to help others. D. She will certainly be remembered. D Nearly two-thirds of U. S. households, or 80 million homes, have pets and Americans spent more than $60 billion on them last year, according to the American Pet Products Association. \number of pets in the world is growing extremely fast and that opens up the market,\Peter Harrop, chairman of IDTechEx, a technology market research firm. \m sure five years from now there will be all sorts of things we can't imagine. \
Already, there are devices that let your pets call you (PetChatz) , play games and win treats when they're home alone (CleverPet) and even speak with a human voice
