Bob Dylan, born on May 24, 1941, is an American songwriter, singer, artist and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when his songs showed social unrest. Early songs such as Blowing in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changing promoted the American civil rights and anti-war movements.

Dylan’s songs include a wide range of political, social and literary influences. They challenged existing pop music conventions and appealed to the growing counterculture. His recording career, spanning more than 50 years, has explored the traditions in American song, from folk, blues, and country to rock and roll, and to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, even jazz and the Great American Songbook. He has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.

As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation (引言）for his influence on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”. In May 2012, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. In 2016, Dylan received the Nobel Prize in Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”.

Tyler was born infected with HIV and his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications (藥物) to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically(外科手術(shù)上) inserted in a vein(靜脈) in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were connected to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.

Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon(小推車). All of us who knew Tyler were amazed at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often made jokes on him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.

This terrible disease eventually wore him down. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became clear that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.

A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned(召喚) me over to his hospital bed and whispered, "I might die soon. I'm not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too. I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."

1.Why did Tyler wear a backpack on his back when he was young?

A. Because his mother gave it to him as a gift.

B. Because he had no right to choose but to wear it.

C. Because he wanted to be different from the other kids.

D. Because there was a pump in it, which could help with his disease.

2.Tyler asked the writer to dress him in red when he died in order to ________.

A. show red is his favorite color.

B. see the writer again in the hospital.

C. make his mother recognize him easily.

D. persuade his mother to keep her promise.

3.What’s Tyler’s attitude towards death?

A. Excited. B. Fearful. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.

4.What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?

A. Even a child can teach us a lot.

B. Patients should be treated with respect.

C. People should have great courage to face the problems.

D. We should try our best to help those who are infected with HIV.

Sign language is a way of talking by using signs.Indians used sign language when they met strangers.In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy.In the Indian sign language,signs were made with the hands.Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away.To make signals,an Indian might use a pony.2.Or he might use smoke,a mirror or fire arrows.

To signal that he had seen many animals,an Indian rode his pony in a large circle.Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide.3.

The blanket signal was visible from far away.An Indian held the comers of a blanket in his hands.Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him.4.He could also send many signals with a mirror.He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger.Or he attempted to get the attention of a person for away.But he also used it to send messages in code.5.At night,Indians used fire arrows for signaling.
