She was born in a typical New England village in Massachusetts on December 10,1830. She was the second child of he family. She had lived in the same house for Fifty-six years when she died. During her life time she never left her native land. She left her home state only once and she left her village very few times. After 1872 she rarely left her louse and yard. In the later years of her life she retreated to a smeller and smaller circle of family and friends. In hose later years she dressed in white, avoided strangers, and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates. The doctor who attended her illness was allowed to examine her in another room, seeing her walk by an opened door. People in her home village thought of her as a strange figure. When she died on May 15,1886, she was unknown to the rest of the world. Only seven of her poems had appeared in print. But to think of Emily Dickinson only as a strange figure is a serious mistake. She lived simply and deliberately. She faced the essential facts of life. According to Henry James, a famous American novelist, she was one of those on whom nothing was lost. Only by thus living could Dickinson manage both to fulfill her obligations as a daughter, a sister, and a housekeeper and to write on the average one poem a day. She read only a few books but knew them deeply. Her poems are simple but remarkably rich. Not until the 1950s was she recognized as one of the greatest American poets.How long did Emily Dickinson live in the house where she was born()AAlmost all her life.BLess than half her life.CUntil 1830.DBefore 1872.21.M: Say, Rason, what are you watching W: An old Japanese film. I wonder if I’m going to spend all my next year there. I’d better start familiarizing myself with the culture. M: You mean you are accepted into the program W: Yes. M: That’s wonderful. You must be excited. W: Excited and nervous. You know I owe a lot to Professor Mercheno. He wrote a letter of recommendation for me and he bought me a set of practice tapes and a book which goes with them. Just so I can work on my basic conversation skills. M: How much Japanese can you understand W: Not a lot at present. But I signed up for intensive Japanese this semester. M: I wish I were as talented as you are in foreign languages. I’d like to study abroad. W: Than why don’t you The university has lots of over- seas programs that don’t require mastery of a foreign language. The tuition is about the same. You just have to be the kind of person who is receptive to new ways of looking at things and willing to adjust to a different kind of life style.M: I had assumed that all programs required you to know a foreign language. I might check into this. W: You won’t regret it.What is the woman doing when the man interrupts her()ATaping some music.BWatching a film.CMaking a video recording.DWriting a letter.22.The first newspapers were handwritten sheets which were posted in public places. The earliest recorded newspaper was started in Rome in 59 B. C. In the 700s, the world’s first printed newspaper was developed in China. The paper was printed from carved wooden blocks and distributed among the citizens. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany. The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published weekly. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant( current), which didn’t appear until March 1702. In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. The paper was called Publick (public) Occurrences, hath forreign (foreign) and domastick (domestic). The local government, however, didn’t approve of the paper and stopped its publication after the first issue. In 1704, John Campbell started the Boston Newsletter, the first newspaper to be published daily in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1 800 daily papers in America. Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation all over the world. The largest circulation for an individual newspaper, however, is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, which sells more than eleven million copies each day.How long is it since the first newspaper was printed()A700 years.BOver 2 000 years.CAbout 1 300 years.DAbout 380 years.23.Emily Dickinson is one of the greatest American poets.
