Telling Tales about People
One of the most common types of nonfiction, and one that many people enjoy reading, is stories about people&39;s lives. These stores fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir,and biography.
An autobiography is the story of a person&39;s life written by himself or herself. Often it begins with the person&39;s earliest recollections and ends in the present. Autobiography writers may not be entirely objective in the way they present themselves. However, they offer the reader a good look at the way they are and what makes them that way. &39;People as diverse as Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies. Other writers, such as James Joyce, have written thinly fictionalized accounts of their lives. These are not autobiographies, but they are very close to it.
Memoirs, strictly speaking, are autobiographical accounts that focus as much on the events of the times as on the life of the author. Memoir writers typically use these events as backdrops for their lives. They describe them in detail and discuss their importance. Recently, though, the term memoir seems to be becoming interchangeable with autobiography. A memoir nowadays may or may not deal with the outside world.
Biographies are factual accounts of someone else&39;s life. In many senses, these may be the hardest of the three types to write. Autobiography writers know the events they write about because they lived them. But biography writers have to gather information from as many different sources as possible. Then they have to decide which facts to include. Their goal is to present a balanced picture of a person, not one that is overly positive or too critical. A fair, well-presented biography may take years to research and write.
This passage is mostly about__________. 查看材料
A.the characteristics of autobiographies, memoirs, and biographies
B.famous autobiographies
C.why biography can be difficult to write
D.differences between autobiographies and memoirs

Sea Horses
Sea horses are unusual parents. The female sea horses lay the eggs, but unlike other creatures,it&39;s the males that give birth to the young.
Male sea horses have a fold of skin on their bellies that forms pocket, called a brood pouch.
During the breeding season, the sea horse&39;s pouch swells to receive eggs. A female sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time in the pouch. Then she swims off, leaving her male partner to care for the developing eggs and give birth to young sea horses. The female will return everyday to check on her mate and the eggs, but she doesn&39;t stay long, nor does she take part in the birth.
It takes from two to six weeks for the eggs in the male&39;s pouch to develop. During this time the male avoids open water and hides in sea grass. His big pouch makes it difficult for him to swim,so the male often uses his tail to grasp a piece of sea grass. Firmly gripping the grass, he will stay perfectly still for hours or even days. The male sea horse will change his color to blend with his surroundings and avoid being seen by predators who will try to eat him or poke holes in his pouch to get the eggs.
The eggs hatch inside the male&39;s pouch. When the babies begin moving around, the male sea horse knows it&39;s time for them to be born. He grabs a sea grass stem with his tail and begins rocking, bending, and stretching his body so that the rest of the babies can be born. Sometimes he has to press his pouch against a rock or some stiff seaweed to force the young out.
Sea horse babies are born in groups of five or more. Sometimes it takes two days for the father sea horse to give birth to all his young. He is very tired when it&39;s over.
Soon after giving birth to one brood, the male will approach his mate and show her his empty pouch. This tells her he is ready to receive eggs again.
What part does the female sea horse play in having babies? 查看材料
A.Receiving eggs
B.Laying eggs
C.Hatching eggs
D.Protecting eggs
