单选题{{B}}D{{/B}} Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造者), did well in his job that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs (亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began to learn the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his works to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger can't go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals. After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stone Wall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty.

单选题CARIFF, Wales poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered in Wales to celebrate the tradition of storytelling. "It might seem strange that people still want to listen to it instead of watching television, but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again," said David Ambrose, director of "Beyond the Border", an international storytelling festival in Wales. "Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit from Canada, are thousands of years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time," he said early this month. Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings forcing them to say little but listen attentively. Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving storytelling in Wales. "It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here," Ambrose said.

单选题What is Mary going to New Jersey for?

单选题Woman have more problems than men in old age. First of all, they have less money—or no money at all—and because of this, they often feel they get less respect , even at home. Quite a large number have no pension (退休费) because they have never worked outside the home, and thirty-eight percent are supported mainly by their husbands or children. Second, a larger number of old women than old men become window (single women). Men are normally older than the women they marry, and women generally live longer than men. The remarriage among older windows is lower than that among widows (single men). Statistics (统计) from 1990 in Shanghai show only 52 percent of elderly women with husbands still living, compared to (与…相比) 82 percent of men. Because of lower incomes and the difficulty of remarriage, many elderly women who live alone, are poor and have almost no social life. Even an old couple lives with children, it is the woman who ends up doing the work around the house. She cleans the rooms, prepares meals, anare of the family. Some 75 percent of them carry out such heavy physical tasks as buying and carrying grain, coal and other supplies for the home. How to improve the quality of life of women in their later years is a question that needs to be dealt with by all the society.
