9、her story is true, but theyare both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing.

16、people are engaged in agriculture and forestry（ 林業(yè)）,and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but

23、e 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have be

24、en forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war.
