Elizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss. She went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five. Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.
At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met Ms Moore and began their life-long friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life.
Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast. She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.
Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she's writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems that she's always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it's almost painful—like a light that's too bright.
4. What do we know about Bishop's early life?
A. She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.
B. She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.
C. She was always encouraged by her parents.
D. She started to write poems at five.
5. Why are Bishop's letters to Moore and Lowell important?
A. They have a deep influence on other poets.
B. They offer much information about her life.
C. They help us study Moore and Lowell's poetry.
D. They prove she had friendships with famous poets.
6. What can we say about Bishop's poetic creation?
A. She liked to write in the morning.
B. She could write poems at high speed.
C. She tried her best to achieve perfection.
D. She published hundreds of books of poetry.
7. Which word can be used to best describe the style of Bishop’s poems?
A. Enthusiastic.
B. Romantic.
C. Humorous.
D. Exact.
C
Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.
In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.
8. What’s the purpose of the author’s research?
A. To discover what luck means to people.
B. To find lucky people and unlucky people.
C. To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.
D. To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.
9. Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment?
A. There was too much information to be read in detail.
B. They were too focused on looking for photographs.
C. It took too much time to go through newspapers.
D. The words were too small to be noticed.
10. What leads to lucky people’s good fortune?
A. Their ability to spot opportunities.
B. Their ability to become relaxed.
C. Their ability to communicate.
D. Their ability to make friends.
11. What’s the key message of the last paragraph?
A. What lucky people are looking for.
B. How lucky people generate good luck.
C. What lucky people can do with opportunities.
D How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.
D
My mother is a teacher. I often asked her, “ Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching?” The answer was always the same. “There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth it.”
Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was, “It’s that one child, that one special moment.”One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a“High” one called the Wire Walk.
In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.
When it was Susie's turn, it seemed that she didn't really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She answered softly, “I suppose.”
Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.
Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can't.”
The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.
“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!” Mary broke the silence.
To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.
Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from Mary. We all cheered. Moments like this keep me doing what I do.
12. Why did Susie stop halfway up to the wire?
A. It was too high for her to reach.
B. She was too afraid to move on.
C. Something was wrong with it.
D. The teacher asked her to do it.
13. Why did Mary break the silence?
A. To try again herself.
B. To relax the writer.
C. To encourage Susie.
D. To draw Susie's attention.
14. What can we learn from the story of Susie?
A. Helping others is helping ourselves.
B. A word of encouragement matters a lot.
C. Outdoor activities bring peoplecloser than ever.
D. A good method plays an important role in teaching.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Wire Walk
B. That One Moment
C. Fear and Courage
D. The Young Hearts
