Childhood, family life and the close relationship with parents and siblings are themes tha

19、t have remained central with her”. Olsson added, “In her poems, the self listens for what is left of its dreams and delusions. But even if Glck would never deny the significance of the autobiographical background, she is not to be regarded as a confessional poet.”Glck is described as “not only engag

20、ed by the errancies(错误状态) and shifting conditions of life, she is also a poet of radical change and rebirth, where the leap forward is made from a deep sense of loss.” The poet found a growing audience in the United States and abroad with collections such as The Triumph of Achilles published in 1985

21、 and Ararat in 1990.The Nobel Committee said, “The natural tone in Glcks poems is striking. We encounter straightforward images of painful family relations.

26、h. On Aug. 19, the executive editor of the Quad- City Times in Iowa, and Illinois, US visited her website, , and saw a story about a man who had been shot to death. When she got to the readers comments sections at the end, she was shocked by what she saw. Below the story was a growing number of comm

27、entsa racist remark about democratic votes, a negative comment about police. So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time: she shut down the comments sections.Phillips was not alone in making such a move. Last week, NPR announced he too was closing its online comme

28、nts sections. The decisions dont mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed that comments had deviated from their original intention. And so they had.In

29、 early days of digital journalism, comments were seen as a key part of this new media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a welcome change, given that for long many news organizations were far too separated from their readers. Mu

30、ch more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and welcome evolution. Sadly, thats not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, comments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-women language. Besides their poisonous quality, comments seem

31、out of place today.“Since we made the announcement, Ive received an outpouring of responses from our readers,” she says. “Ive heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online comments. Ive heard from people who said they wouldnt send in letters to the editor because they were attacked so fi

32、ercely by comments, and wasnt worth it.”28. Why did Autumn Phillips shut down the comments sections? A. They were put to wrong use.B. Her website was attacked heavily. C.

34、volvement in the news industry. C. Readers freedom to express their thoughts. D. Readers making less negative comments.31.

35、ehind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “m

36、ore than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”Smell which dictates the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always bee

37、n the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1, 000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck

38、were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1, 000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research rev

39、iew, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and there

40、fore desperate to satisfy their appetites.In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way genes regulate

41、smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their s

42、tudy shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.32. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out? A. The category of food smells. B. The logical part of human brain. C. The nature of human olfactory system. D. The relationship betw

43、een food and feelings.33. Which of the following can help people concentrate? A. Bread. B. Fruits. C. Coffee. D. Fast food.34. What do we know from the last paragraph? A. Some people can recognize up to 50 smells. B. Every person has a different pattern of genes. C. Different people are sensitive to

44、 different smells. D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.35. What is the passage mainly about? A. Logic and behaviour.B. Smell and its influence. C.
