The times are changing. On Thursday October 13th, singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, marking the first time the highly-eyed-on literary award has gone to someone who is mainly seen as a musician, and giving rise to heated discussions.
The 75-year-old won the prize “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”, the Swedish Academy said.
“For 54 years he has been at it, reinventing himself,” said Sara Danius, the academy’s permanent secretary. “Bob Dylan writes poetry for the car. But it’s perfectly fine to read his works as poetry.”
And while many Dylan’s fans have found great delight at the news, others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee, saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year.
New York Times Book Review editor Pamela Paul said it was good news but pointed out how many “deserving” novelists there are.
Director Martin Scorsese put out a statement saying he was “overjoyed” that Dylan was awarded the prize.
“Dylan’s poetry, his musical genius, has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world,” Scorsese said. “His work has influenced and shaped culture, and he has never stopped exploring and growing as an artist. The Nobel Committee has given Dylan a form of recognition that fits his role in our culture—in world culture.”
Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his “great influence on popular music and American culture”. He’s the first American to win the literary Nobel since Toni Morrison in 1993.
1.Why does Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize cause healed discussions?
A. He created poetic expressions. B. He is known as a musician.
C. He reinvents himself. D. He is 75 years old.
2.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 4?
A. are thankful to B. are satisfied with
C. are angry with D. are worried about
3.What can we know about Dylan according to Martin Scorsese?
A. Dylan influences Martin a lot.
B. Dylan is happy with the award.
C. Dylan is a poet rather than a musician.
D. Dylan benefits a lot from world culture.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. A brief introduction to Bob Dylan.
B. The reason for Bob Dylan’s success.
C. Bob Dylan’s influence on American culture.
D. Different views on Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize.

The Internet has become a huge sea of information and resources.No Internet would mean no instant and easy access to information at the click of a button.You would have to walk down to your local library and actually search the whole place to get the information you’re looking for,with little chances that you’ll find what you seek instantly.The students who were accustomed to using the Internet for completing their assignments would have a tough time.There would be no way to get an education without actually going to a school or a college physically.
Without the Internet,things at your workplace would be turned upside down.If your work was largely Internet?based,your company might have to shut down.If your work involved only minor use of the Internet,for example,using online system to acquire statistics from the Internet,this simple task would now be a complicated and time?consuming process.Your desk would be full of documents and files,and you would have a nightmare searching or sorting them out by hand.In any case,life without the Internet would seem like a nightmare! So enjoy living in the paradise we call the Internet and make wise use of it!

A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child’s development. 1. This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can’t wait to see how things are going on.
Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all. It was so bad that she did not look forward to school. It was a year full of trouble and that worries.
This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It’s hard not to like her.2..
She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school. I had to pull her out of bed, tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school. But now, our mornings are like a party. She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.
She’s happy. She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.
She’s responsible. 3. But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school. She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.

Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day.
