22、their wood, which can be used for building. Some forests are being cleared to make space for new roads and houses, or to allow coal mining and oil and gas industries to grow.

36、ous writer?Born in 1832, Alcott grew up in Massachusetts with her three sisters. When she was very young, she loved to write. She would think up wonderful stories that she turned into plays. Alcott and her sisters acted out the dramas. Alcott always played the most exciting parts: ghost, bandits, an
37、d evil queens. She also loved playing and wandering outdoors. In fact, she was considered quite a “tomboy”. In those days, girls were expected to be ladylike, which meant mostly sitting around looking pretty. This was not Alcotts way! She once said that no boy could be her friend until she had beate
38、n him in a race. Girls had to climb trees and leap fences with her if they wanted to be her friends.Alcotts family was poor. At age fifteen, Alcott decided to help out. However, it was not easy for women to find work in the 19th century. Alcott worked at any job she could find. She took care of chil
39、dren, she taught, and she washed laundry for other people.Alcotts love of writing was always an important part of her. She wrote from her own life experiences and from her imagination. During the Civil War, Alcott volunteered to work as a nurse. She wrote about this work in her book Hospital Sketche
40、s. She also wrote thrillers (惊悚小说) that were full of suspense. When her publisher asked her to write a book for girl.

Like Alcott, Jo is a determined young woman with a mind of her own. The book was an instant success. It is still popular today and has been made into a movie
42、. Alcott also wrote childrens books with boys as the main characters. This was the case in two other Alcott books, Little Men and Jos Boys.Early in her career someone once told Alcott that she should give up writing and “stick to teaching”.
