32、ritics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout.“For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelors degree at

33、UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her masters in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think. In Mar

34、ch, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.” “This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I dont feel as if its better.”The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq.

39、writing.CIt is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed.

40、a, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, 1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that

41、 they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life. When the deer cant find enough food, t

42、hey die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey (猎物) will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too.

And has always been a law of nature.Although some people s

46、ay it is good sense to kill wolves, we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are b

47、eing used by people. Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves cant always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm.

51、n to another. For example, most of us remember our patents telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time. Did your mother ever tell you to eat y

52、our carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration.
