Every winter the Indians caught beavers (河貍或稱為海貍).They sold these beaver furs to men from France. In the 1600s and 1700s,people in France wanted beaver furs for coats and hats. Other countries wanted these furs, too . Wearing a beaver fur hat became a sign .It said ,“Look at this man! This man is rich!”

“I didn't hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready？”is what she heard. Then she said，“I shook my head no，and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again.”

It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen­ year ­old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana­. She was still on_cloud_nine.

“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen. ”P(pán)resent in the audience (觀眾) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.

Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比賽). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”

One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the tough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot，a lot...”

As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.

When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way，it is easy to be yourself.”

1.What do the underlined words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Frightened B. Troubled

C. Very happy D. Very angry

2.How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text?

A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.

3.What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?

A. She visited drunken drivers.

B. She gave dance performances.

C. She made speeches on safe driving.

D. She helped other teens with their studies.

4.What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?
