听力原文:M: I just finished reading a book of short stories by Hemlen Garlen called May Traveled.Road. I really enjoyed it. Have you ever read it?
W: Yes, it was a required reading in the American literature course I took last year, even though it's fic tion, you get a realistic picture of the hard life people had on the American frontier. I don't think I would survive 19th century frontier life.
M: Me neither. Remember that story among the car roads. Garlen gives a vivid description of Julie Peterson, that young immigrant girl, she had to work on her family farm.
W: Ah, yeah!
M: Well, when Julie felt exhausted she was wishing she could escape from her hard labor, she looked over her father working in the next field. And she was inspired to continue her own work.
W: I do remember that story. Garlen really captures the spirit of hard work that was so typical of immigrants and pioneers who settled the American Mid west. It's difficult to imagine that nothing seems to discourage them for long.
M: I wonder how Garlen learned so much about the Midwest. Wasn't he from Boston?
W: He lived in Boston. In fact, he studied and taught in the Boston School of Oritory, but I think he was born in Lawcarbinlen, Wincosin. He did grow up in the Midwest.
M: No wonder his description is so good, I'm going to take this book back to the library now and what' other Garlen's works I can find.
