Gwendolyn

Brooks

to

win

a

Pulitzer

Prize

for

Literature.

Gwendolyn

Brooks

wrote

hundreds

of

poems

during

her

lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase

understanding about black culture in America.

Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and

drug use in the black munity. She also wrote poems about the struggles of

black

women.

But

her

skill

was

more

than

her

ability

to

write

about

struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She

bined

traditional

European

poetry

styles

with

the

African

American

experience.

In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of

Chicago. The South

Side

of Chicago is

where

many black people

live. In her

poems,

the

South

Side

is

called

Bronzeville.

It

was

“A

Street

in

Bronzeville”

that

gained

the

attention

of

literary

experts

in

1945.

Critics

praised

her

poetic

skill

and

her

powerful

descriptions

of

the

black

experience

during

the

time.

The

Bronzeville

poems

were

her

first

published

collection.

In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the

Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of

实用文档

poems called “Annie Allen.” “Annie Allen” is a collection of poetry

about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a

daughter, a wife and mother. She

experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that

winning the prize changed her life.

Her

next

work

was

a

novel

written

in

1953

called

“Maud

Martha.”

“Maud

Martha” received little notice when it was first published. But now it

is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the

difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.

In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see

in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, “Corners

on the Curing Sky”.

By the end of

the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks’s poetry expanded from the

everyday

experiences

of

people

in

Bronzeville.

She

wrote

about

a

wider

world

and dealt with important political issues.

24. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The life of Gwendolyn Brooks.

B. The poems of Gwendolyn Brooks.

C. The understanding about black culture.

D. The struggles of black women.

25. What can we learn about Gwendolyn Brooks from the second paragraph?

A. She mainly wrote about the struggles of black women.

B. She was good at using the language of poetry.

C. Her writing skills were a little worse than her ability.

D. Her poems were mainly about the African experience.

26. The author develops the passage mainly by ______.

A. providing examples

B. using statistics

C. paring opinions

D. describing her experiences

27.

In

the

last

three

the

talk

about

_______.

A. the difficulties Gwendolyn Brooks would meet

According to the

Global Times

, it is reported that two online videos

showing children telling their parents “I love you” have gone viral in

China. The first,

filmed

by an Anhui

TV

station, shows a

number of college

students telling their parents they love them. The responses are mixed.

“Are you drunk?” asked one parent. In another similar video, shot by a

Shanxi TV station, a father responded even less patiently

—

“I am going

to a meeting, so cut the crap.”

Why

don't

Chinese

families

use

those

words?

Theories

revolve

around

the

nature of Confucian teaching. “The parents' responses show that many

Chinese are not good at expressing positive emotions,” Xia Xueluan, a

Sociologist

from

Peking

University,

told

the

Global

Times.

“They

are

used

to educating children with negative language.”

This

isn't

the

first

time

that

China

has

done

some

soul-searching

about

familial love

—

last year China Daily asked a cross-section of people if

they

said

“I

love

you”

to

their

parents,

spouses,

and

children.

“I

have

never said 'I love you' to my family, and I don't think I will in the

future,”

one

56

-year-

old

told

the

paper.

“Saying

it

aloud

is

embarrassing

for me.”

Still, that doesn't mean that love can't be expressed. In a separate

article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said

she had never told her father she loved him face-to-

face (“I find it a

bit

odd”).

Sometimes

actions

speak

louder

than

words.

Zhao

gave

her

father

a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one

of

her

birthdays

in

June

xx.

The

pictures

went

viral

online,

being

forwarded

hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.

“I didn't sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China

Daily

after

the

story

attracted

mainstream

a

ttention.

“I

have

now

memorized some of the ments on the collection of pictures.”

28. What can we infer from the text?

A. It is not direct for Chinese families to say “I love you” .

B. Chinese parents are too proud to express “I love you”.

C. Chinese parents are good at expressing positive emotions.

D. Young parents in China are willing to express “I love you”.

29. Why don’t Chinese parents express “I love you” to their children?

A. Because they can’t express it.

B. Because they are not in the habit of expressing so.

C. Because they think it unnecessary.

D. Because they think it should be done only among young couples.

30. Zhao Mengmeng expressed “I love you” to her father by ______.

A. giving him an album containing their photos

B. kissing her father’s

face and telling him by words

C. speaking it out bravely in a TV program
