People also continue to talk about her ideas and her interesting life.As a young child, Alisa loved books. She began to write her own stories when she was only seven. She took classes in politics, history, law and writing. In 1926, she traveled to the United States and decided she would never leave. She also decided to change her name to Ayn Rand. Newly named, Rand moved to Hollywood, California to work in the movie business. Throughout the 1930s, she published two books, but did not earn much critical or popular recognition. Then, in 1943, Rands famous book The Fountainhead was published. It took her seven years to write the novel. Twelve publishers rejected the book. However, a man named Archibald Ogden loved the story and convinced the Bobbs-Merrill company to publish it. The Fountainhead became a huge success around the world. It has sold more than six million copies. It continues to sell about one hundred thousand copies each year.The Fountainhead tells the story of a young building designer named Howard Roark. Roark wants to build interesting, modern-looking buildings. However, most people only want to see traditional designs. Roark loves designing and building more than anything in the world. But he refuses to compromise and make buildings he hates. Several people work against Roark and his goals. But in the end, Roark succeeds.The Fountainhead is an unusual novel for many reasons. It is more than 700 pages long, far longer than most books people read for entertainment. More importantly, it also includes discussions of philosophy, which are not usually found in popular books. Most critics did not like The Fountainhead. But readers loved it. In 1949，it was made into a popular movie. She lived quietly in New York City until she died in 1982. She is still one of the most loved, and hated, American thinkers and writers.21 When did Alisa decide to change her name to Ayn Rand?AWhen she began to write her own stories.BWhen she took classes in politics and writing.C When she decided to settle in the US. DWhen she moved to Hollywood, California.22 Which of the following is true o
