the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored for her unmistakable poetic voice that,with plain beauty,makesindividual existence universal”.Often said to be an autobiographical poet,drawing

collections,has been able to turn her life experiencesinto universal themes covering life,loss,and loneliness.Because of this,readers have oftenfound her poetry to be dark”.H owever,there is much more

National Book Award for Poetry in2014,a judge for the award went on to say,the collection comes from“a world wheredarkness blurs（使模糊）ordinarily sharp edges around the oppositions of our lives-loss andrenewal,male and female,the living and the dead”.Although shes already a well-known writer,experienced in exploring pain and healing,Gluck did feel honored to be given the Nobel award.H owever,when

miles.16.Passengerscould do things such as eat or read on the way.Best of all,the self-driving cars that weretested experienced fewer accidents than average human drivers.17.There are issues that must

accurate.20.Because of this,there is no promise thata self-driving car can get a passenger to his or her destination.Perhaps one day,self-drivingcars will be everywhere.H owever,we are not ready for
