【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: I just finished reading a book of short stories by Hemlen Garlen called Main Traveled Road. I really enjoy it. Have you ever read it?
W: Yes, we were required to read it in the American Literature course I took last year. It"s really a great book. Even though it"s fiction, you get a realistic picture of the hard life people had back then on the American frontier. I don"t think I would have survived 19 century frontier life.
M: Me neither. Remember that story among the car roads. Garlen gives a vivid description of Julie Peterson, that young Norwegian immigrant girl, who had to work on her family"s farm.
W: Yeah, the story does impress me deeply.
M: Well, when Julie feels exhausted she wishes she could escape from her hard labor, but when she sees her father working in the next field, she is inspired to continue her own work. She works so hard.
W: So you can see Garlen really captures the spirit of hard work that was so typical of immigrants and pioneers who settled in the American Midwest. It"s difficult to imagine that nothing seems to discourage them for long.
M: I wonder how Garlen learn so much about the Midwest. Wasn"t he from Boston?
W: Yes, he lived in Boston. In fact, he studied and taught in Boston School of Oritory, but I think he was born in Lawcarbinlen, Wisconsin. He did grow up in Midwest.
M: No wonder his description is so vivid. I"m going to take this book back to the library now and see what other Garlen"s works I can find.
W: It seems that you get really interested in Garlen and his works.
M: Yeah. Would you like to go to the library with me?
W: Yes, let"s go.
