It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more. But in order to

work up the desire to rewrite

，

it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.

I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading

their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers' opinions. One reason we

may dislike reading our own work is that we're often disappointed that the rich ideas in our

minds

seem

very

thin

and

plain

when

first

written

down.

Jerry

Fodor

and

Steven

Pinker

suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work.

Different

from

popular

belief

，

we

do

not

usually

think

in

the

words

and

sentences

of

ordinary

language

but

in

symbols

for

ideas

(known

as

‘mentalese’

)

，

and

writing

our

ideas

down is an act of translation from that symbolic language. But while mentalese contains our

thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (

织锦

)

，

writing can only be composed one thread at

a time. Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should

look

so

simple.

It

is

only

by

repeatedly rewriting that

we produce new threads

and connect

them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.

When

people

write

as

if

some

strict

critics

are

looking

over

their

shoulder

，

they

are

so

worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start. Peter Elbow

makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem. When writing we should have two

different minds. At the first stage

，

we should see every idea

，

as well as the words we use to

express

it

，

as wonderful

and worth putting

down.

It

is

only during rewrites that we should

examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.

9. What do we learn from the text about those famous writers?

A. They often regret writing poor works.

B. Some of them write surprisingly much.

C. Many of them hate reading their own works.

D. They are happy to review the publishers' opinions.

·

·

C. Encouragement

D. Pity

10. What do people generally believe about the way human minds work?

A. People think in words and sentences.

B. Human ideas are translated into symbols.

C. People think by connecting threads of ideas.

D. Human thoughts are expressed through pictures.

11. What can we conclude from the text?

A. Most people believe we think in symbols.

B. Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable.

C. The writers and critics can never reach an agreement.

D. Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work.

D

Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it? If you think so, you’re not alone,

because

energy

independence

has

been

the

dream

of

American

president

for

decades,

and

never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly

responsible for kicking off the great recession(

经济衰退

).

“Energy

independence”

and

its

rhetorical

(

修辞的

)

companion

“energy

security”

are,

however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence

from, exactly?

Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But

there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.

The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle

（涓涓

细流）

of biofuel

（生物燃料）

available, and more may become available, but most biofuels

cause economic waste and environmental destruction.

Second, Americans have basical

ly decided that they don’t really want to produce all their

own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.

Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of

environmental

protection.

To

what

extent

are

Americans

really

willing

to

endure

the

environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?

·

·

Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things

from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t

read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2

million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.

There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies

on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in

short supplies and higher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when

we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade

around the world.

12. What does the author say about energy independence for America?

A. It sounds very attractive.

B. It ensures national security.

C.

It will bring oil prices down.

D. It has long been everyone’s dream.

13. What does the author think of biofuels?

A. They keep America’s economy running healthily.

B. They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.

C. They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.

D. They cause serious damage to the environment.

14. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?

A. It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.

B. Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.

C. It wants to keep its own environment undamaged.

D. Its own oil production falls short of demand.

15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To justify America’s dependence on oil imports.

B. To arouse Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.

C. To stress the importance of energy conservation.

D. To explain the increase of international oil trade.
