I was a very luck girl. Many girls didn’t know they could participate or even be good at sports, but I never needed to be told that because I grew up with my grandmother who was a great Olympian. Even today, many girls need that extra nod in sports, but where can they get it?

Basketball Belles by Sue Macy This book is set in 1896 and the attractive illustrations by Matt Collins take readers back to that time.

This lovely poem was written by Emily Dickinson, who is considered a major American poet, though she was not accorded (符合) this honor until well after her death.
Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. She attended school for only one year. Throughout her life, she seldom left her home and visitors were few. She lived in almost complete isolation(隔离) from the outside world.
She admired the poetry of Robert and Elizabeth Barren Browning, as well as John Keats. Though she was dissuaded (劝阻) from reading the poetry of her contemporary Walt Whitman by rumors of its disgracefulness, the two poets are now connected by the distinguished place they hold as the founders of a uniquely American poetic voice.
While Dickinson was extremely prolific (多产的) as a poet, she was not publicly recognized during her lifetime. Upon her death, Dickinson's family discovered forty hand-bound volumes of nearly 1,800 poems. Her younger sister began to share the enormous body of work that Emily left behind.
Emily's odd punctuation, capitalization(大写), and formatting(格式) did not meet with standard publishing "approval" for earlier editions. There is a whimsical (古怪的) nature to many other poems, as the subject of death was the most frequent theme.
In the poem, the poetess was speaking to ______.
A.a little girl | B.a long-lost family member |
C.a nice season | D.a cute animal |
What is a feature of Emily Dickinson's poems?
A.They do not pay attention to rhymes. |
B.They resemble those of Walt Whitman. |
C.They have a strange format. |
D.They reflect her personal and social life. |
According to the text, Emily Dickinson _______.
A.was completely homeschooled and had a talent for writing poems |
B.was greatly influenced by four of her contemporary poets |
C.is regarded as a leading poet in American literature |
D.published a large number of poems during her lifetime |

Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college.
King’s Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron’s Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grant Chester in the south Cambridge shire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ____.
A.attending the masters’ class |
B.working with local artists |
C.learning life drawing |
D.seeing an exhibition |
“Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ____.
A.common insects |
B.impressive plants |
C.rarely-seen snakes |
D.wildlife-enthusiasts |
We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____.
A.to fear pet bears |
B.to like walking |
C.to be a heavy drinker |
D.to finish university in 1805 |
In the passage Byron’s Pool is described as a lake ____.
A.surrounded by fields |
B.owned by Lord Byron |
C.located in Grant Chester |
D.discovered by Virginia Woolf |
