for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book,
"Versed".
"I"m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even
the National Book Critics 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 bachelor"s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied
with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master"s 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 March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for "Versed."
"This book has gotten more attention," Armantrout said, "but I don"t feel as if it"s better."
The first half of "Versed" focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the
war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after
Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not.
"Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry," said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at
UCSD.
"Versed", published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier
works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

D. She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley.
B. It is mainly about the American army.
C. It is a book published two decades ago.
D. It partly concerns the poet"s own life.
B. has a sweet voice

day when we were born.Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and
maturity (成熟)-or so we hope.We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. Most
of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and
learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a
wonderful process. But growing old? That is a different story.
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented (以年轻人为中心) American culture. Most
Americans like to look young, act young and feel young.As the old saying goes, "You"re young as you
feel." Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People
in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom.But Americans seem to favor
those that are young, or at least "young at heart".
Many older Americans find the "golden years" to be anything but golden.Economically, "senior
citizens" often struggle just to get by. Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal
income.Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from
poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. Some even experience age discrimination(歧视).American
sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets.She was often
treated rudely-even cheated and robbed.However, dressed as a young person, she received much more
respect.
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why? People are living longer.
Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged "baby boomers" are rapidly entering the group of the
elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹)are "in".Marketing experts are ready noticing
this growing group of consumer.
B. American older people often joke about their old age
C. American culture is very young
D. different countries have different opinions on the old age
B. The old in America are leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing.
C. The old in America have to retire at the age of 65.
D. American social security benefits are not good.
B. cool
C. disappearing slowly
D. growing fast
B. The old are much more respected than the young in America.
C. Growing old makes people feel proud in America.
D. The young are often discriminated in America.

| Sometimes you"ll hear people say that you can"t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you"ll hear people say that you can"t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you"ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we"re the apple of our parents" eyes, and that our Grandmas think we"re great talents and our Uncle Roberts thinks we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it"s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself. Self-image is your own mind"s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different form the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and you whole world. The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don"t allow doubts to occur in it. It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can"t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you"re silly because you aren"t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you"re weak because you can"t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you"re dull because you don"t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn"t mean it"s true. The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far form objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you"ll know you"re well on your way. Good luck! | |||

| A barn is where farmers keep animals and equipment. Over time as fewer and fewer people worked on the land, more and more barns were torn down to make way for developers. Others that remained might have fallen into poor condition. Or perhaps they just no longer satisfy the needs of modern farmers. Keeping an old barn in good condition might not be seen as worth the cost if it doesn"t serve much purpose. But Americans with historic barns are being urged to save them. The magazine Successful Farming and the National Trust for Historic Preservation are working together on a program called Barn Again! The National Trust is a non-profit organization that works to provide protection for places of historic importance in America. The Barn Again program advises hundreds of barn owners every year. Awards are given for the projects that best succeed in restoring a barn for continued farm use. Winning buildings are used to demonstrate methods of preservation. The organization suggests how problems with things like stone and concrete block foundations can be fixed. With many old barns, the foundation they are built on is falling apart. Barn Again also offers advice for other repairs, like how to replace siding and how to use a power washer to remove loose paint. And farmers are given suggestions about how to calculate costs. Leo Fitzpatrick of Beaverton, Michigan won the 2004 Barn Again Award. He made one improvement at a time. The work took more than nine years. He did it himself, even though for a while he held another job in addition to farming. He says it cost him fourteen thousand dollars, much less than a new barn of similar size. The improvements include strengthening the barn. There are no structural supports inside the building; instead, its sizes hold it up. | |||
