U[>m; Unlike many ants, trees grow slowly. Thirty to eighty years are necessary before a tree grows to the right size for harvesting as lumber or pulpwood. But a tree crop can be a good investment for a landowner or farmer, since trees will grow on the parts of his land where ordinary crops will not grow. H`".L^ Trees 1 much more than provide lumber for home building. They provide raw materials for making paper, plastics, synthetics, turpentine, and other products. Even more important, trees protect the nation’s water supply by holding 2 erosion and keeping water in the soil. [&39Yv.k,7 America once had huge natural forests. To start their 3 , pioneers cleared many trees. Later, logging crews 4 by lumber companies moved into other forests. They cut all the valuable trees, and then moved on.. H(g&+Wcu= There were few 5 to protect our forests or to plant new ones until the beginning of the present century. Then, 6 with forest experts, government officials, and landowners, the lumber companies began planning to support the planting of new forests. The American Tree Far System, begun during World War II, is one of the plans that grew 7 this cooperation. 16]O^R;r Landowners who wish to establish tree farms can get help from a professional. state-employed forester, or from an association of lumber companies. They can get 8 on what kind of trees to plant and how to care for them. Landowners must protect their trees by keeping grazing animals 9 and by removing dead or diseased trees. They must keep replanting, so that young trees are growing at all times to replace those 10 for cutting. `P GWu1/ Some tree farms are small woodlots. Others cover thousands of acres.

~l Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself: ‘ I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.’ No one could have had a more Productive old age. Ea3tF0{ She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls (‘We came in bunches, like radishes’) At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Noses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in l927. w%$n)7
<* Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. ‘I think real hard till I think of something real Pretty and then I paint it,’ she said. w68qyG|wM 11.

His father Immanuel, out of work and penniless, tested his theories of explosives in a laboratory set up in their house. Unfortunately, the elder Nobel remained frustrated in his efforts to apply his natural inventive spirit to establishing a prosperous endeavor. E^qKkl Alfred Nobel worked alongside his father, and by l850, when he was l7, Alfred had acquired most of his father’s knowledge of and enthusiasm for chemistry. Although numerous other scientists had been intrigued by nitroglycerine, Alfred was the one who finally managed to turn this dangerous substance into a safe and useful explosive. He succeeded in developing dynamite commercially, which laid the foundation for many of the world’s leading chemical enterprises. Aside from introducing the innovative Nobel Ignitor in 1864 and dynamite in l866, Alfred claimed 355 patents including nitrocellulose and substitutes for leather and rubber. He developed clever methods for the production of synthetic silk and was involved in electrochemical, telecommunications, and safety alarm systems as well. R:fu n, Alfred Nobel was a dedicated scientist who became very rich applying his knowledge of chemistry. His sense of guilt over having created a potentially deadly material led him to leave some of his millions to reward individuals who made substantial contributions to certain areas of science. It was natural that he would include chemistry as one of those branches, especially since the end of the nineteenth century brought rapid advancements in the field. D`gY6wX 15.

zLe [D] as a natural outgrowth of his father’s training !]"T`^5,Y Passage 3 :${Lm&J If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed to failure. For it isn’t defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success. w+JDu_9+A] Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation, analyze it and learn why you fail. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat Prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to Pull it away he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction which should give you new and greater Strength every time you are defeated. If you exploit the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than you are capable of.
