D. Answer the questions. The American high school author named Juliette Turner has published her third book aimed at middle school readers. With her new novel That’s Not Hay in My Hair, she has become a new star in the world of publishing. Turner is just 18 years old. After she finished fourth grade in New York, she moved to Cooke County, Texas, with her mother where she started a new life working with horses and cattle and her writing career. “My mother and I were the only people living there,” Turner said. “It was just the two of us breaking the ice on the cow-water trough(奶牛饮水槽).” Turner’s mother, Janine Turner, is a famous actress in the US. Life in Cooke County was not as glamorous(令人向往的) as the life she had lived before. But for Turner, rural(农村的) life gave her a lot of material to write about. That’s Not Hay in My Hair is unlike Turner’s first two books. “Everything that happened in the book actually happened in the lives of my mom and I.” she said. The adventures were too crazy to believe, but it all happened exactly how it’s written. Indeed, Janine Turner was one of the first people to read the book. “I’ve been too busy doing my own things before. She’s written these books all by herself. I didn’t even read this one until it was finished,” said Janine, “She has an amazing power.” As Turner is thinking about her upcoming college life, she hasn’t decided whether her adulthood will be spent in a city or in the country. “I will always be a country girl at heart,” she said. “I love the country life. It is where I feel at peace and at home. I don’t know where life is taking me at the moment. But I will always return home to the country and to my mom. It’s where my roots are.”
