Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. Her first experience with the wilderness was in the Adirondacks in the northeast of New York, where she worked at a summer resort (度假胜地) to earn money for college tuition (学费) by caring for the horses, giving riding lessons, and working as a waitress. And she had many chances to begin her adventure in the Adirondack wilderness.

Anne returned to school in the fall, but she continued to spend as much time as she could in the Adirondacks. She grew to love her time alone in the mountains. Anne graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in conservation of natural resources (资源) and began working for the National Audubon Society in Florida as a wildlife tour leader.

Although Anne took great pleasure in showing people the animals living in the Florida Keys and the Everglades National Park, she longed for the mountains in the northern parts of New York. Finally she decided to build a cabin near Black Bear Lake. Over the years, however, more and more tourists began hiking near her cabin. As a result, Anne decided to build another cabin deeper in the woods at Lily Pad Lake.

Anne lived in the woods for most of her life. She enjoyed living alone in the woods, and her life was far too busy for her to be lonely. When she was not writing books, she wrote articles for National Geographic, Reader's Digest, and other magazines. In her later years, Anne conducted research in Guatemala on an endangered bird called the grebe. She also lectured nationwide about ecology.

Ⅴ. 读写任务(共一小题，满分25分)

I 've been in New York City for six months. As far as I know, New York City is one of the most popular cities in the world. The city was famous for its financial, landmarks, architectures and sports etc. In contrast to New York City, my native city in China is small and undeveloped. I can tell it just by taking a look at the education in New York City.

Education in New York City is different from my hometown. Firstly, many famous universities and colleges such NYU, Columbia University, SUNY and CUNY etc are located here. While my hometown owns zero university. Secondly, New York City keeps providing free education, lunch and metrocard for students until they finish high school. Thirdly, the teaching methods are free and creative. In New York City, the teacher won't teach you all the details about the solution, they're just give you some examples and you yourself finish the rest.

Now I really enjoy living in America.
