Sit down，close your eyes and relax. Think about your childhood and the memories you created. What was your favorite childhood memory and what was your favorite as a child? Or what your favorite Christmas present or your favorite candy bar when growing up? Answers may come easily for some people but for others，it may take more time to think about. Mary Jo McCarthy of Pequot Lakes wants to help others document their childhood memories which could be treasured by current families and for generations to come. McCarthy, 64, a short story author and retired columnist (专栏作家) for the Lake Country Echo weekly newspaper, began hosting a writing seminar (研讨班) titled “A Time to Remember”. The closes are limited to 12 people and are conducted in the nursery at Lutheran Church of the Cross in Nisswa and the registration fee is $25. McCarthy said what led her to start the writing seminars was writing others’ biographies(传记). A retired businessman asked her to write his biography as a ghost writer. She said others from her church in Pequot Lakes had also asked her to write their biographies because they didn’t know how to write them. She thought hosting a class to help people write their own biographies would be more beneficial to them. McCarthy said people had busy lifestyles those days and didn’t have a chance to sit down and write down their memories that they might forget and never remember. She said writing down the memories would document the person’s life，so other family members，especially future generations would be able to read about them. 【1】In paragraph 1 the author raises some questions to________. A. introduce the topic of the text B. express his/her puzzle about memories C. give some examples for readers about biographies D. provide background details for readers about the retired columnist 【2】What can we learn about McCarthy?

She once worked as a columnist in a newspaper 【3】It can be inferred from the passage that__________． A. writing biographies is an easy job B. a biography is part of family history C. McCarthy had her own biographies published D. fewer and fewer people feel interested in biographies 【4】The passage is mainly intended to________. A. show how to write biographies B. help people communicate with their families C. call on people to write their own biographies D. introduce McCarthy and her writing seminars |
