I was eight or nine years old when I wrote my first poem.

Edward Estlin Cummings was a poet well-known for how he wrote his poems. He wrote his poems with capital(大写的) letters in the words. For example, the title of one of his poems is The little horse is newlY. The "Y" is a capital letter. He also used "i" instead of "I" to refer to himself in the poems.

Some authors were asked to give their opinions on Shakespeare. Here is what they said.
Gregory Maguire
Author of Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
My favorite play is A Midsummer Night's Dream because of all the magic in it. Not long ago, I saw a high school textbook edition of it, and I picked it up because it was so beautifully designed. Shakespeare works very well because whatever you can think, he can think it faster than you or I can. He teaches me again and again how to think of new ideas for my writing.
Jack Gantos
Author of Hole in My Life and the Joey Pigza series
For me, the greatest pleasure in reading Shakespeare is that each character contributes to the formation of the whole idea. When the play is finished, it is as if nothing more could have been added or taken away. You have to take every character and every thought into account, which means it all has purpose.
When I read Shakespeare, I know I'm going to have to be sharp. I read a lot of Shakespeare when I was a teenager. And from the plays I learned a lot about human behavior. Shakespeare's deep insights(洞察力) into human behavior exist forever. Shakespeare is surely on my all-time reading list.
Nicole Rubel
Co-creator of the Rotten Ralph series
I like Romeo and Juliet because of the way Shakespeare tells the story of the many misunderstandings which led to the couple's sad endings. Each time I revisit the story, I hope somehow the messenger sends the letter or Juliet will wake up in time so they can live happily forever because I love happy endings. Well, it never happens. But I am hopeful.
Brent Hartinger
Author of Dreamquest and Geography Club
I find that a good production of Shakespeare can inspire my work and make me excited for a while. But when I see it done well, when it's really inspiring, it doesn't get any better. It also makes me want to give up books and start writing plays because the experience of theater is just so magical.
109. What does Gregory Maguire think of Shakespeare?
A. He is the greatest author.
B. He is a quick-minded writer.
C. His plays are all full of magic.
D. His plays are popular among high school students.
110. It can be inferred from the text that Nicole Rubel ?.
A. wants to rewrite Romeo and Juliet
B. shows no interest in Shakespeare's works
C. hopes Romeo and Juliet has a happy ending
D. read Romeo and Juliet when she was a teenager
111. The text mainly talks about ?.
A. Shakespeare's early life and his works
B. how Shakespeare influences other authors
C. how Shakespeare became a famous writer
D. some popular plays written by Shakespeare
C
Douglas Florian teaches readers about bees in a new book of poems called UnBEElievables. In his latest book, each poem is paired with a colorful image that illustrates(图解) a different type of bee and its role in the group. Every page is full of fun and interesting facts about these social insects.
TFK: When you brainstorm for a story, which comes first: the images or the poems?
FLORIAN: Usually the poems come first. For a book of 21 poems, for example, I'll actually write about 50 poems first. Although I sometimes have images in my mind to go along with the words, I have to choose which ones I want to include in the book.
TFK: Many of your books, including UnBEElievables, are about insects and animals. How did these become your favorite subjects?
FLORIAN: There is so much humor in the animal world. People have a lot of knowledge about animals and ideas about animals that are fun to explore in writing. Animals are just so interesting. When I research, I find out so many new and amazing facts. The poem is often half written by the time I am done with my research.
TFK: Why did you choose bees as the subject of your latest book?
FLORIAN: I saw recently in the news that many bees are dying out. Scientists believe this to be caused by various diseases. I wanted to create awareness and learn more about bees after hearing this. So many of the fruits and vegetables we eat are dependent on pollination(授粉) by honeybees. If bees disappear, so will much of our food.
TFK: Do you have a favorite bee?
FLORIAN: One of my favorites is the poem and painting about the worker bees. I wanted the painting to be very playful and light. These bees have to work all day, and it's kind of like a factory. And even though these bees have to work very hard, they manage to smile.
112. UnBEElievables is a book about ?.
A. insects B. images C. stories D. fruits
113. Why did Douglas Florian choose bees as the subject of his latest book?
A. Because bees are easy to explore in writing.
B. Because he wants people to protect bees.
C. Because he has no idea about bees.
D. Because bees are going to die out.
114. Douglas Florian likes the worker bees best mainly because of their ?.
A. hard work B. great contribution
C. dangerous situation D. attitude towards working
D
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 produces new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.
When people write as if some strict critics(批评家) 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.
115. 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.
116. 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.
117. 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.

M: Really? Well, I read a study the other day that said when people spend time casually browsing the Web at work，they actually end up being more productive and creative.
W: Ha ... That's funny. Do you really think that's true?
M: Yes. I can control myself. I don't spend too much time browsing the Web at work. I surf the Internet just to help me relax. So what about you?
W: Well, I'm not good at managing my time. I spend too much time talking with my friends online at work.
M: You'd better be careful! That can get you fired.
W: Yeah, I do need to stop. I don't want to get fired!

(Text 10)
Benet was one of the most popular writers in the United States during the first half of the 1900s. By the middle of 1920s, Benet had published five books of his own. Although Benet was famous, most of the money he earned came from the stories that he wrote for popular magazines. The stories were meant to be read quickly and forgotten. He started to think about a greater purpose for his writing. He wanted people to remember the beauty and goodness of America he had seen as a boy. He began to try new things.
In 1926, Benet won an award of 2,500 dollars. He used the money to continue his writing. He began to write a poem about America's Civil War. The poem was published in 1928. It was as thick as a book. It was called John Brown's Body. The poem was famous for its power and truth. It was so filled with details that professors of history used it to teach their students about the Civil War. It was read on American and British radio. The year after it was published, Stephen Vincent Benet received America's Pulitzer Prize for poetry.
