The Washington Post and Guardian stories were based on thousands of documents handed over by NSA leaker Edward Snowden. American and British lawmakers criticized the newspapers for revealing government secrets, but the Pulitzer judges, mostly journalists, praised what they called “authoritative and insightful reports that helped the public understand how the revealing fits into the larger system of national security.”The Pulitzer for fiction goes to Donna Tartt for her bestselling novel The Goldfinch. The Pulitzer judges called Tartt's The Goldfinch“a beautifully written coming of age novel that to uches the heart”. It follows a sad boy's involvement with a famous painting which he takes from the Metropolitan Museum of Art after a terrorist bombing. USA TODAY named it one of our 10 favorite books of 2013. In a 4star review for USA TODAY, Kevin Nance called the novel a “very entertaining, darkly funny new book, that goes a long way toward explaining why its author is finally securing her place alongside the greatest American novelists of the past half century, includingJohn_Updike,_Philip_Roth,_Toni_Morrison_and_that_other_latter day_Dickensian,_J ohn_Irvine.”The annual prizes, begun in 1917, are named for publisher Joseph Pulitzer and are administered by Columbia University in New York City. In 20 of the categories, each winner receives D|S10,000. The winner for public service in journalism is awarded a gold medal.语篇解读：文章介绍了普利策奖的获奖者。

The finale (终场) of the hit show's second season was shown on Feb. 7 this year.Wu Yishu, 16, who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top. In an earlier episode (一集) , Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled “Feihualing”. The game's theme was “yue”，meaning “moon” or “month” in Chinese. She recited the lines from the Classic of Poetry, the earliest collection of poems in China: “In July, the crickets (蟋蟀) are in the field. In August, they are in the yard. In September they are at the door. In October, they enter and crawl under our beds.”“I really admire her knowledge of poems，” said Huang Zijin, 16, a Senior 2 student from Ningbo High School in Zhejiang Province. “The firs t time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks. She fulfills all my fantasies about classic Chinese women's talents. What's more, she always appears so calm throughout the show, which is very unusual fo r her age.”As the old saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance.”“Learning poems isn't about winning or losing. The power of poetry lies in shaping one's view of life and developing one's inner world，” said Li Bo, an exp ert guest at the Chinese Poetry Conference's second season.When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the show's academic advisor, suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic (美学的 ) and emotional sides, and guide the students tolose themselves in the poems' rhythmic (有节奏的) and rhyming lines.“Although the amount of ancient Chinese poetry in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased, many students still learn them for exams，” Li Dingguang told China. org. cn. “Therefore, it's important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry.”语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldn't we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addi tion to learning “who” invented “what”， however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why”and“how”questions. According to McLean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention，” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama. Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J．Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible.Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?16．By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wipe r”， the author indicates that countless inventions are________.A．beneficial, because their inventors are famousB．beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC．not useful, because their inventors are less famousD．not useful, though their inventors are famous17．Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________.A．add colour and variety to students' campus lifeB．inform students of the windshield wiper's inventionC．carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD．prepare students to try their own inventions18．Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was________.A．not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB．inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC．due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD．not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures19．Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A．How to help students to sell their inventions to producers?B．How to design a builtin device for cleaning the window?C．Shouldn't we know who invented the windshield wiper?D．Shouldn't we develop invention courses in universities?BOnce many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family out from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said “a person who is good and noble”．That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Walmart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed me by, I said, “How are you today？” Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time.Having been near “the end of my rope”， after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderfulcard probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honour.20．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.
