【答案解析】[听力原文]
   Ernest Hemingway was one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois, the second of six children. Hemingway was fascinated by war. He had wanted to become a soldier, but couldn't because he had poor eyesight. Instead, in the First World War, he became an ambulance driver. After the war, he went to live in Paris, where he was encouraged in his work by the American writer Gertrude Stein. In the 1930s, he became a war correspondent in the Spanish Civil War and World War Ⅱ. Many of his books were about war. His most successful book, For Whom the Bell Tolls, is about the Spanish Civil War. Another novel, A Farewell to Arms, is about the futility of war.
   Hemingway's success in writing was not mirrored by similar success in his personal life. He married four times. After the first marriage he moved to Key West, Florida, where he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and drinking, but he also suffered from depression. In 1928, his father committed suicide. Hemingway's health was not good and he had many accidents. In 1954, he had two plane crashes. In October of the same year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, but he was too sick to receive it in person.
