    Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) 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.

    Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard£¬they also relax just as well. Numerous vacations help the couple to maintain their health and emotional well-beingÒ»and it¡¯s no surprise to health care professionals.

    ¡°Rest, relaxation, and stress reduction are very important for people¡¯s well-being and health. This can be accomplished through daily activities, such as exercise and meditation, but vacation is an important part of this as well,¡± said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York. Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off. ¡°We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing, so a rested, relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better,¡± said Withers.

    Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind. ¡°The impact that taking a vacation has on one¡¯s mental health is great,¡± said Francine Lederer, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management. ¡°Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation, even if it is a 24- hour time-out.¡± The trips could be good for their health, good for their family and good for their businesses.

    The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010, and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation daysÒ»but only used 14 of them. France topped the list, with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them. Americans, responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued, but that¡¯s not always good for the individual, the family or the employer.

    Psychologists have also found that people who don¡¯t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future. ¡°Without time and opportunity to do this, the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker, making it actually more difficult to shift into less-stressed states,¡± Mulhem said.

    For generations here in the deepest South, there had been a great taboo£¨½û¼É£©: publicly crossing the color line for love. Less than 45 years ago, marriage between blacks and whites was illegal, and it has been forbidden for much of the time since.

    So when a great job about an hour¡¯s drive north of the Gulf Coast attracted him, Jeffrey Norwood, a black college basketball coach, had reservations. He was in a serious relationship with a woman who was white and Asian.

    ¡°You¡¯re thinking about a life in South Mississippi?¡± his father said in a skeptical voice, recalling days when a black man could face mortal£¨ÖÂÃüµÄ£© danger just being seen with a woman of another race, regardless of intentions. "Are you sure?"

    But on visits to Hattiesburg, the younger Mr. Norwood said he liked what he saw: growing diversity. So he moved, married, and, with his wife, had a baby girl, who was counted on the last census£¨ÈË¿ÚÆղ飩 as black, white and Asian. Taylor Rae Norwood, three, is one of thousands of mixed-race children who have made this state home to one of the nation's most rapidly expanding multiracial populations, up 70 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to new data from the Census Bureau.

    In the first comprehensive accounting of multiracial Americans since statistics were first collected about them in 2000, reporting from the 2010 census, made public in recent days, shows that the nation¡¯s mixed-race population is growing far more quickly than many researchers had estimated, particularly in the South and parts of the Midwest. That conclusion is based on the bureau¡¯s analysis of 42 states; the data from the remaining eight states will be released soon.

    In North Carolina, the mixed-race population doubled. In Georgia, it grew by more than 80 percent, and by nearly as much in Kentucky and Tennessee. In Indiana, Iowa and South Dakota, the multiracial population increased by about 70percent.

    Census officials estimated the national multiracial growth rate was about 35 percent since2000 according to the known result, when seven million people ----- 2.4 percent of the population ------ chose more than one race.

    1.If a black man married a white woman 50 years ago, the worst result was that _____.

    A£®he was sentenced to death                B£®he was considered to be immoral

    C£®he was criticized by the public              D£®he was treated as a lawbreaker

    2.The underlined word ¡°serious¡± in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ¡°____¡±.

    A£®stable            B£®bad              C£®mixed            D£®dangerous

    3.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

    A£®Jeffrey Norwood was born in Hattiesburg and grew up there.

    B£®Taylor Rae Norwood¡¯s mother is a white-Asian.

    C£®70 percent of the people in Mississippi are multiracial.

    D£®Mississippi has the largest multiracial population in the US.

    4.Which of the following states had the fastest growth rate of mixed-race population?

    A£®Georgia.          B£®Tennessee.        C£®North Carolina.     D£®South Dakota.

    Amy and Mark Blaubach were very excited about adopting a child from an orphanage (¹Â¶ùÔº). They thought they would adopt a baby girl. After waiting one and a half years, the social worker asked them to consider adopting a six-year-old boy named Jerry.

    After the adoption papers were signed, Amy asked if Jerry had a good friend at the orphanage. Jerry said his best friend was Zack. That was the first time that Amy heard about Zack.

    Then Jerry went to his new home with Amy and Mark, where he lived happily and adjusted very well. However, Jerry kept talking about his best friend that he had left behind at the orphanage. So Amy became determined to try and find out more about Zack.

    She came across a database specifically for families who had adopted children from the orphanage where she met Jerry. The database allowed parents to enter their child¡¯s name and his or her adoption information. As Amy looked through the database, she found what appeared to be a possible match of her son¡¯s best friend. After sending a new e-mails back and forth, Amy was sure to have the right Zack. He had adopted by Rae and Bruce Hostetler two weeks before. To her surprise, the two families were living in the same city. Then she decided to give these two friends a special reunion (ÖØ·ê)

    On a sunny Sunday, the two boys finally met each other again. When Jerry asked Zack, ¡°Do you remember me?¡± Zack quickly answered, ¡°Yes! Let¡¯s go and play!¡± That led to hours of laughter and play. Rae and Amy were excited to see how well their sons got along, and what an amazing bond(ÁªÏµ) they had. Thanks to both families, that special bond between Zack and Jerry can continue for the rest of their lives.
