Amy walked toward Miss Brown’s backyard,where she was planting roses.Last week,Amy and her parents just moved into the house next door.
The old woman looked up,“Why the long face,Amy?”
“There aren’t any kids around to play with,”said Amy.“I have nothing to do.”
Miss Brown smiled,“You sound just like a girl who used to live here.”
“Really?Who?”
“Her name is Rachel,”said Miss Brown.“Too bad you two young girls couldn’t have lived here at the same time.”
“What did Rachel do when she was bored?”asked Amy.
“She planted a flower garden,”answered Miss Brown.
Amy looked at Miss Brown’s roses.“Could I,too?”
Miss Brown handed Amy some tools and roses.“This will get you started.”
“Thanks,”said Amy.
Amy worked hard the whole afternoon in her garden.When she saw the lovely roses planted,she smiled.Still, it was too bad that Rachel wasn’t there.
The next day,Amy watered her roses and walked to Miss Brown’s backyard,where she sat reading.“What else did Rachel do?”asked Amy.
“She wrote poems in her flower garden,”Miss Brown answered.“One of her poems even won a prize in a school competition.”
Amy closed her eyes.“How good it would feel,but I don’t know how to write poems,”she said.Miss Brown smiled,“The best way is to read poems first.”She handed Amy her book.“Thanks,”said Amy.
Amy lay on her stomach next to her roses and read.Then she started to write.That night she had a poem that might not be a prizewinner but sounded good enough.Still,it was too bad that Rachel wasn’t there.
The third day,Amy watered her flowers,wrote a new poem,and then walked to Miss Brown again.“What else did Rachel do?”asked Amy,“She played in the attic(阁楼).Come with me,”Miss Brown invited.“Thanks!”said Amy.
“Make yourself at home,”Miss Brown said and left Amy to search alone there.Then Amy found a trophy(奖杯)with these words—First Prize in Poetry.Rachel Brown.1937.

The top-selling album(唱片),Songs of the Humpback Whale,was made public in1970.This collection of nature recordings changed the way many people thought about whales,and it helped save thousands of whales’lives.
The album might never have been made without a sound engineer named Frank Watlington.In the1960s, Watlington was making underwater recordings when he noticed some strange,deep sounds.He realized they were coming from whales.Watlington played the recordings for a pair of scientists named Roger and Katy Payne.When they listened,they fell in love with these beautiful voices at once.
Katy Payne studied music as well as animals,and she was greatly surprised by how the whales communicated using sounds like an opera(歌剧)singer.She also noticed another interesting fact:the so
unds had clear patterns. According to scientists,an animal sound with a repeating pattern is called a song.Some scientists even compared these singing animals to musicians.
The Paynes thought that other people should also hear the beauty of the whales’songs.So Roger made the recordings into an album.At the time when the album came out,whales were often caught,killed and traded for money.Some kinds were even in danger of dying out.Most people had never thought that whales could communicate through songs.But after hearing the album,they began to think differently.
The album led people to take action to save whales.Musicians began using whale songs in their music,and whales were included in movies and television shows.In1982,a ban to stop deep-sea whaling was made.Before it, in the1950s and1960s,more than fifty thousand whales per year were killed.After it,the number went down below two thousand.
It might seem impossible that just one album could help save the lives of so many whales.But this album told people secrets about whales that had long been hidden under the sea.It allowed whales to finally share their songs with the human world.
30.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To call on people to save whales.
