                                                                     INTRODUCTION

    It's hard to believe that I wrote Number the Stars more than twenty years ago.It seems like yesterday that I answered the phone on a snowy January morning and received the news that it had won the 1990 Newbery Medal(美国纽伯瑞儿童文学奖).

    I think readers of every age may match themselves with the important persons in the books they love and ask themselves:Would I have done that?What choice would I have made?

    And ten﹣the age of Annemarie in Number the Stars﹣is an age when young people are beginning to develop a strong set of personal ethics(道德观;价值观).They are beginning to realize that the world they live in is not always good and safe.

    So they follow a story about a ten﹣year﹣old girl who is caught in a dangerous situation,and she must make decisions.Young readers become cheerful when Annemarie takes a deep breath,enters the woods,faces the danger,stands up to the enemy and wins her victory.

    Today,the book has been published in many countries and translated into many languages.It found its way into the hands and hearts of children who had read about but never experienced war. . . .Books do change lives,I know;and many readers have told me that Number the Stars changed theirs when they were young,that it made them think about both.cruelty(残酷;残忍) and courage. "It was something that shaped my idea of how people should be treated, "wrote a young woman recently,telling me.about her own fourth﹣grade experience with the book.

    The Danish friend who first told me the story of her childhood,and who became the Annemarie in my book,is an old woman now.So am I.We both love thinking of the children reading the story today,coming to it for the first time and realizing that once,for a short time and in a small place,a group of prejudice﹣free(不存偏见的)people created a touching story of love.and kindness towards others.

                                                                                                                                               Lois Lowry

Natural scenes often become the themes of poetry. Poets watch nature closely and present(呈现) its beauty in their poems. For example, poets may describe natural scenes such as a spring day or a snowy day. Besides, poets often express their feelings about nature by creating lively images(形象) in poems.

    With images, poets can describe the details (细节) of something colorfully and clearly. Readers, on the other hand, can connect their own experiences with the images in the poems so that they can share the poets' ideas. Now let's read the poem "Who Has Seen the Wind?"

    When we read the lines "When the leaves hang trembling" and "When the trees bow down their heads," they remind us of a windy day. The poet successfully creates an image of the wind by describing details of the scene. These help readers think of the moment when the wind passes by. We might even bow our own heads, imagining that we are the trees.

    In the poem "Night," Blake describes many details of a night scene. People know very well what they can see at night, like stars or the moon. However, Blake sees more than just the moon itself; he sees the moon as a flower, smiling at us from up in the sky. So the moon is really compared to a flower and personified(拟人化) as a smiling person.
