Hello, I’m Steve Ember. Today we tell about a man known as Johnny Appleseed. His real name was Johnny Chapman. Little was known about John Chapman’s childhood. When he was old enough to leave home, he slowly traveled south and west from Massachusetts to the state of Pennsylvania He is said to have cleared land and planted apple seeds near a waterway. In a short time, the seeds grew to become trees that produced fruit. Pennsylvania was the first stop in what would become a life-long effort to plant apple trees. After a few years, Chapman left the hills of western Pennsylvania and traveled west into the Ohio Valley. He planted apple seeds in several areas near a place called Licking Creek.
Chapman planted with thoughts about future markets for his crops. His trees often grew in land near settlements. He often sold his apple seeds to settlers. Sometimes, he gave away trees to needy settlers. When low on seeds, he returned east to Pennsylvania to get more. He got the seeds from apple presses—machines used to make apples into a drink called apple cider. Before long, Chapman’s trees were growing in fields across Ohio. People began calling him Johnny Appleseed.
Johnny Appleseed was a small man with lots of energy. He had long dark hair. His eyes were black and bright. He never married. He lived very simply. For years, he traveled alone in the wilderness, without a gun or knife. He slept in the open air and did not wear shoes on his feet. Some people gave him clothing as payment for his apple trees. But sometimes he wore a large cloth bag or sack as clothing. The sack had holes for his head and arms. On his head, he wore a metal container for a hat. He also used this pot for cooking his food. People said he lived this way because he wanted to. He had enough money for shelter and clothes if he had wanted to buy these things. But he used his money to improve his apple business and help other people. He was famous for his gentleness and bravery. Both settlers and Native Americans liked him. Everywhere he traveled, he was welcomed. Reports from that period suggest that some Native Americans believed he was "touched by God."
19. Where did Johnny Chapman start planting apple trees?
20. What does the speaker say about Johnny Chapman’s life?
21. According to the speaker, how did Johnny Chapman spend his money?
选项
A、He bought a big house in the open air.
B、He bought clothes made of cloth bags and sacks.
C、He invested in his apple business and helped others.
D、He spent his money on travelling around the world.
答案
C
解析
由选项中的bought、invested、spent his money可知,问题可能和花钱有关,听音时需要格外注意与此相关的内容。录音接近尾声处提到,如果Chapman愿意的话,他完全有钱给自己买衣服、置办房产,但是他却把钱用来促进苹果生意,帮助他人(improve his apple business and help other people)。C项是该处录音信息的同义表达,故为答案。录音提到“他在野外睡觉”,而非A项说的“他在野外买了座大房子”。录音中提到cloth bags and sacks时是说他有时会将布袋或麻袋当衣服穿,而非B项说的“他买由布袋或麻袋做成的衣服”。D项“他将金钱花在周游世界上”在录音中未提及。
