Look carefully at the back of a California state quarter. A man with a walking stick is pictured there. A bird called a California condor(大禿鷲)is flying overhead. Who is this man, and why is he so important that he is featured(處于顯著地位)on the back of a coin?
The man on this quarter is John Muir. Even as a child, Muir loved watching nature. As a young man, he spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness. He walked more than a thousand miles across the country, through fields and woods. John Muir liked writing about the places he visited, describing their beauty.
Muir also wrote about problems. In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle, many trees were being cut down. This made Muir unhappy and worried, because he knew that trees were important to forests and to the animals that lived in them．Muir believed that nature should be conserved(保護)instead of being changed by human beings. He wrote articles in magazines and newspapers to spread the word about conserving forests. Soon, others began to listen.
Muir wrote letters to important people, such as President Theodore Roosevelt. The president admired Muir’s love for nature. When Roosevelt came to visit Muir in California. Muir convinced(說服)the president to go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they could talk about conservation. Later, President Roosevelt set aside 148 million acres of land for national forests and established(建立)five national parks. National parks are large areas of land that are protected from development. This means that people cannot build homes or businesses there. One of these parks is Yosemite National Park, the area that is featured on the back of the California quarter.
Though it has been almost one hundred years since John Muir died, people continue his work today. His work as a conservationist helped us to see the beauty of our natural world. John Muir made us understand the importance of protecting our earth and our resources---then, now, and for the future.
小題1:Why did President Theodore Roosevelt visit John Muir?
A．Because Roosevelt loved watching nature.
B．Because Roosevelt received letters from John Muir.
C．Because Roosevelt admired John Muir’s love for nature.
D．Because Roosevelt was sad about the problems with farmland.
小題2:Why is John Muir featured on the back of a California state quarter?
A．Because he walked over a thousand miles across the country.
B．Because he helped people understand the importance of protecting the natural world.
C．Because he wrote articles to spread the word about conserving forests.
D．Because he once wrote several letters to President Theodore Roosevelt.
小題3:What is the writer’s purpose of writing this article?
A．To advise readers to become active conservationists.
B．To make us interested in the story about a great man.
C．To tell us something about an important person in history.
D．To give information about how to conserve the environment.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves(奴隸). His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.,” he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at the age of 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time in order to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten games, Owens fell down when he went downstairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he was helped in and out of the car that drove him to the games. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he should give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens’ success at the Olympic Games in Berlin(柏林) the next year, and his success would come to be considered as not only athletic but also political(政治的). Hitler(希特勒) did not give congratulations to any of the black American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
After returning from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens’ Olympic success made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and racing against cars and dogs.
“Sure, it worried me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In the end, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
小題1:In the Big Ten games, Owens         .
A．hurt himself in the back
B．was successful in setting many records
C．tried every sports event but all failed
D．had to give up all events
小題2:We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because         .
A．he was the grandsonof black slaves
B．he was the son of a poor farmer
C．he didn’t shake hands with Hitler
D．he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone
小題3:When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years”, he means that the medals          .
A．have been changed for money to help him live on
B．have made him famous in the US
C．have encouraged him to face difficulties in life
D．have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
小題4:What can be the best title for the text?
A．Jesse Owens — A Great American SportsmanB．The Big Ten Games
C．Making a Living As a SportsmanD．How to Be a Successful
