Poets die young—younger than novelists, playwrights and other writers, a U.S. researcher s

ays. It could be because poets are tortured and【C1】______ to self-destruction, or it could be that poets become famous young, so their early deaths are【C2】______ , said James Kaufman of the Learning Research Institute at California State University. For the report,【C3】______ in the Journal of Death Studies, Kaufman studied 1987 dead writers from【C4】______ centuries from the United States, China, Turkey and Eastern Europe. He【C5】______ the writers as fiction writers, poets, playwrights, and non-fiction writers. He did not study the causes of death. "Among American, Chinese and Turkish writers, poets died【C6】______ younger than nonfiction writers," Kaufman wrote in the report. "Among the【C7】______ sample, poets die younger than both fiction writers and non-fiction writers." Because Kaufman studied some writers who lived hundreds of years ago, it is【C8】______ to compare their average age of death【C9】______ that of the general population." 【C10】______ , poets lived 62 years, playwrights 63 years, novelists 66 years and non-fiction writers lived 68 years," Kaufman said.

Kaufman has also studied poets and mental illness. "What I found was pretty【C11】______ with the actual death findings. Female poets were much more【C12】______ to suffer from mental illness (e.g.【C13】______ suicide) than any other kind of writers and other【C14】______ women," he said. "I've dubbed this the 'Sylvia Plath Effect'."

There could also be a more benign【C15】______ for poets' early death, "Poets produce twice as much of their lifetime【C16】______ in their twenties as novelists do," he said. So when a【C17】______ novelist dies young, few people may notice. "A great novelist or non-fiction writer who dies at 28 may not have yet produced her or his masterpiece." Kaufman said poets should not worry, but should perhaps 【C18】______ health. "The fact that a Sylvia Plath may die young does not【C19】______ mean an Introduction to Poetry class should carry a warning that poems may be【C20】______ to one's health," he said.

【C1】

A．likely

B．prone

C．preferable

D．favorable

听力原文： Most Americans don't like to get advice from the members of their family. When t

hey need advice they don't usually ask the people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on different subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes and how to buy a house or a car. Most newspapers regularly patrol letters from readers with problems. Every other week along with the letter there are answers sent by people who are thought to: know how to solve such problems.

Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But among the most famous writers of advice are two women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to "Dear Abby". The other is addressed as "Dear Ann". Experience is their preparation for giving advice.

There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Brown, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called "Dear Angel".

(19)

A．ask the people they know for advice.

B．ask their family members for advice.

C．write to newspapers for advice.

D．write to their friends for advice.

听力原文： Science fiction writers have often imagined human beings going to live on Mars. But these days, scientists are taking the idea seriously. It has a great deal to recommend it, since it might solve the problem of overcrowding on the earth. But obviously, it would not be worth making the effort unless people could live there naturally. If the atmosphere were like that of the earth, this might be possible. But in fact it is mostly carbon dioxide. Apart from that, there are other problems to be overcome. For example, the temperature would have to be raised from 60 degrees below zero to 15 degrees above it. Scientists who study Mars have laid down the program that they can follow. To begin with, they will have to find out whether life has ever existed on the planet of Mars in the past. Secondly, they will have to make a reliable map of its surface. And finally, they will have to make a list of the gases. Above all, they will have to discover how much nitrogen it possesses, since nitrogen is four fifths of the air we breathe. They are surprisingly optimistic about raising the temperature on Mars and believe it could be done in two hundred years. It will take a bit longer, though, to transform. the atmosphere so that human beings, could live there. Scientists estimate that this will take one hundred thousand years.

(33)

A．Because people might have to migrate there someday.

B．Because it is very much like the earth.

C．Because it is easier to explore than other planets.

D．Because its atmosphere is different from that of the earth.

Microsoft technical specialist Tim Pash said grammar and spelling technology is meant to help writers and editors, not solve all their problems.
