Emily Dickinson is one of the greatest American poets. 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. Which of the following is TRUE of Emily Dickinson()

Marriage is still a popular social practice in America, but divorce is becoming almost as "popular". Most Americans get married, but at the same time, fifty percent of their marriages end up in divorce. However, four out of five divorced people do not stay single. They get married for the second time to new partners. Sociologists tell us that in the 21st century, most American people will marry three or four times in one lifetime. Alvin Toffier, an American sociologist, calls this new social form social marriages. In his book Future Shock, Toffier gives many reasons for this change in American marriage. In modem society, people’s lives don’t stay the same for very long. Americans frequently change their jobs ,their homes, and their circle of friends. So the person who was a good husband or wife ten years ago is sometimes not as good ten years later. After being married for some years, a husband or wife can feel that their lives have become very different, and they don’t have the same interests any more. Because of this, Toffier says,people in the 21st century will not plan to marry only one person for an entire lifetime. They will plan to stay married to one person for perhaps five or ten years, and then marry another. Most Americans will expect to have a "marriage career" that includes three or four marriages.The divorce rate in America has reached____________________________________6In the 21st century, most Americans will marry three or four times_________7Alvin Toffler published a book named_______________________________________8The percentage of remarriage among divorced Americans is___________________9One of the reasons for the change in American marriages is_________________10 9().

I have noticed that children are not even being school in social graces. At a Sunday brunch, a clown was making balloon animals for the children. 61) My friend’ s daughter, Sarah, stood by me waiting her turn. The children grabbed their balloons one by one and ran. 62) I was the only adult present who prompted "What do you say "when the clown handed Sarah her balloon. The clown beamed at us, grateful he had actually been acknowledged.I don’ t blame the children, however. They emulate what they see. 63) And what they are seeing is a society focused solely on acquisition_be it another drink in a restaurant or a space on a crowded freeway—without ever stopping to thank the source.Rude language is now so common that it is accepted behavior. And I’m not talking about the obviously blue vocabulary in books and movies, or that damn is considered harmless compared to what else has become acceptable. I’m referring to inconsiderate word choice. For example, while discussing a story idea with an editor, a very young stall member asked if I was the "chick "who had called for information. I said nothing, knowing that a show of displeasure would have labeled me oversensitive rather than him rude.64) Most people today feel proud to have built a society that treats the races, sexes, and economic classes more equally ever before. And, yes, we have made real strides in these areas. But isn’t it ironic that these same people don’ t find it necessary to say "Excuse me "to an older couple walking very slowly in front of them, before zooming around the coupleIt’s not necessary to provide yet another analysis of the disintegration of the family or the breakdown of the social fabric or the price of democracy to explain what has happened to our society. The matter at hand is simply to thank the next person who provides a helping hand when needed. In a crowded world, manners are very important. Small, friendly human interactions help ease the everyday stress of having to hurry, trying to squeeze onto a crowded thoroughfare, standing in one more line to deal with a clerk of some kind, or calling a customer service representative for the third time about a mistake on a bill. Manners make us aware that everything we have derives from a source. 65) Are we really so pressured that we cannot stop to observe simple courtesy Most people today feel proud to have built a society that treats the races, sexes, and economic classes more equally ever before. And, yes, we have made real strides in these areas.
