In the statement, the association congratulated Mo Yan on his success and spoke highly of his “outstanding achievements” .Mo had effectively extended the boundaries of imagination, the depth of thoughts and state of arts of Chinese literature by focusing on lives in the countryside with a unique national style, said the statement.He Jianming, vice president of the association, said in a separate interview, “It is not only a joyous occasion for Mo, but also a dream coming true for generations of Chinese writers. ”“The prize a lso shows recognition in realism writing coming from traditional Chineseliterature, ” said He.He cited Mo’s latest novel, Frog, which was published in China in 2018, as an example of Mo’s focus on realism. The book focuses on the influence of China’s “one child” policy in the countryside.“Mo’s works are among the best when it comes to Chinese contemporary literature.” He said, “Adding the award is significant for the development of Chinese literature and will boost confidence in the country’s cultural creativity.”Mo Yan, a pen name for Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in east China’s Shandong Province.Mo is one of the most widely translated Chinese writers. His best-known work is Red Sorghum, which was made into a film by director Zhang Yimou. (280W)1. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature.B. Mo Yan’s success represents the world’s recognition of Chinese literature.C. The success in Chinese literature.D. A great Chinese writer.2. How old was Mo Yan when he won the Nobel Prize in Literature?A. 55 years old.B. 56 years old.C. 57 years old.D. 65 years old.3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mo Yan and Guan Moye refer to the same person.B. Mo’s works are the best in China.C. Mo Yan is the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.D. The film Red Sorghum directed by Zhang Yimou was written by Mo Yan.4. Mo Yan’s works focus on.A. lives in the countrysideB. city livesC. China’s “one child” policyD. the international influences of Chinese literature(B)There are many opposite things, which cannot be united by many people. But, there will always be a chance to unite two different things in one work. The following explanation will tell you more about the possibility to combine painting and poetry.Perhaps, it is not a new idea to tell people that they can actually produce the great work through combining the painting and poems. In this case, we can unite both things in two ways. The first thing is to make poems as the main inspiration to do paintings. It is also possible to write a poem after looking at the painting. That will be the great first recommended way people can look at.What about the next idea to combine painting and poetry? In this case, we can combine both of them on the canvas. You can do a good painting on the canvas and then write down the poem on thatpainting. It is a unique artwork and will be a good example to be looked at. I do not know whether this kind of concept has been used before. But this is the quite great new idea for me. It will make people love painting and poetry at once. You will not need to read the poem on the white plain paper anymore.A poem is a good work to represent a story or a thought. It is not too long and complicated. It is a series of words arranged in stanza(节)and lines. So, combining it with another type of art(such as painting)will be very good. You can get the message of the poem through the colors and “story” on the canvas. Do you want to try it out? All you need to do is to play with your creativity in makinga painting with the right color composition and also the great words on it. (310W)5. What’s the author’s attitude toward the combination of pain ting and poetry?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Bored.D. Indifferent.6. The underlined word “canvas” in Paragraph 3 probably means.A. walls of buildingsB. pieces of paperC. painting clothD. computer screens7. What function does a poem serve according to the text?A. Making an artist famous.B. Indicating the creativity of a poet.C. Working as a symbol of a good work.D. Delivering the message of a story or a thought.8. What do you need if you want to combine painting and poetry?A. Great Creativity.B. The knowledge of poetry.C. Life experiences.D. Skills of art.9. It can be inferred from the text that .A. any opposite things can be united through effortsB. poems can inspire us to paint but not the oppositeC. painting and poems are recently combined togetherD. the author hasn’t combined poems and painting before【语篇随练】1. 根据阅读理解(A)内容判断正误(T/F)(1)Mo Yan is the first Chinese writer to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time.Lucille Clifton was born Thelma Lucille Sayles in Depew, New York in 1936. She was named Thelma after her mother. Lucille was the name of one of her father's ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew.While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called “Lucy”.She often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world.Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton's poetry was anything but traditional. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. They do not deal in make-believe. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation(标点) and even less capitalization. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.16.Which of the following may be the reason why Lucille Clifton chose to call herself Lucille instead of Thelma?A.To show her love to her mother.B.To show her love to her beloved teacher.C.To show respect to her great-grandmother.D.To show her respect to a great poet.17.From the passage, we know that Lucille Clifton is ________.A.funny B.creativeC.selfish D.beautiful18.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Lucille Clifton's parents affected her a lot.B.Lucille Clifton's poetry was very traditional.C.Thelma Sayles published many poems.D.Lucille Clifton's poetry was very formal.19.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Lucille Clifton's great works.B.Lucille Clifton's poem background.C.Lucille Clifton's poem style.D.Lucille Clifton's poem words.20.The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.A.Samuel CliftonB.Samuel Clifton's experienceC.Samuel Clifton's grandmotherD.Lucille's great grandmother's storyⅢ.任务型阅读Mr. Smith, Mr. Black, Miss White, John和Jack想参观博物馆,请结合选项A~F中对6个博物馆的相关介绍,选出与他们各自信息相符的选项。

struck at his home,not once,but twice.The first time he had lost his fiveyearold daughter.He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss;but,as he said,“Ten months later,God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”This double bereavement was almost too much to bear.“I couldn’t take it,” this father told us“I couldn’t sleep,eat,rest or relax.My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.”At last he went to doctors;one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip,but neither helped.He said,“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子),and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow,you know what he meant.“But thank God,I had one child left—a fouryearold son.He gave me the solution to my problem.One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself,he asked,‘Daddy,will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no moodto build a boat;in fact,I was in no mood to do anything.But my son is a persistent little fellow!I had to give in.Building that toy boat took me about three hours.By the time it was finished,I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months!I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking.In my case,building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring.So I determined to keep busy.”“The following night,I made a list of jobs that ought to be done.Scores of items needed to be repaired.Amazingly,I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention.During the last two years I have completed most of them.I am busy so that I have no time for worry.”No time for worry!That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hour’s a day at the height of the war.When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities,he said,“I am too busy.I have no time for worry.”1.The underlined word “bereavement” in the secon d paragraph refers to________.A.having lost a loved oneB.having lost a valuable articleC.having lost a profitmaking businessD.having lost a wellpaid job2.Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because________.A.he couldn’t earn enough m oney to support his familyB.he was suffering from sleeplessness diseaseC.he couldn’t get out of mental pressureD.he felt tired of adulteducation classes3.Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repairedbecause________.A.he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend themB.he wanted to kill his free time by repairing themC.the items had actually been broken and needed attentionD.repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind4.At the end of the passage,the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to________.A.prove that he followed Churchill’s exampleB.support his student’s solution to his problemC.show that he was successful in his careerD.clarify how his conclusion was reachedPeople always think about “the problem of youth”.If there is one—which I take leave to doubt—it is older people who create it,not the young themselves.Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings—people just like their elders.There is only one difference between an old man and a young one:the young man has a beautiful future before him while the old man a splendid future behind him and maybe that is where the rub is.When I was a teenager,I felt that I was just young and unknown—that I was a new boy in a huge school,and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.For one thing,being a problem gives you a certain identify,and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.I find young people exciting.They have an air of freedom,and they have not a dull promise to mean ambitions or love of comfort.They are not anxioussocial climbers,and they have no devotion to important things.All this seems to me to link them with life,and the origins of things.It’s as if they were in some sense of cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban (乡村的) creatures.All that is in my mind when I meet a young person.He may be too proud,illmannered,selfconfident or selfsatisfied,but I do not turn for protection to boring clichés about respect for elders as if age were a reason for respect.I accept that we are equals,and I will argue with them,as an equal,if I think he is wrong.5.“The problem of youth” in Paragraph 1 means the problem________.A.caused by young peopleB.needed to be solved by young peopleC.young people meetD.created by the old for the young6.The underlined word “rub” is closest in meaning to________.A.fact B.ageC.future D.difficulty7.One of the things the young are engaged in is that they want to________.A.climb up the social ladderB.have freedomC.be knownD.make troubles8.By saying “anxious social climbers”,the writer refers to________.A.some mean adults B.ambitious young peopleC.capable political leaders D.people who pursue comfortⅢ.短文填词Tom had never been to the north of the

They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious testtakers.Sian Beilock says, “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about them as their cognitive(认知的)horsepower that they could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious testtakers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12 percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not.The research shows that for students who are highly testanxious, who'd done the writing intervention(排解), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.11.The purpose of the passage is ________.A. to build the confidence of the highly anxious testtakersB. to introduce a research about the anxious testtakersC. to improve the performance of the testtakersD. to tell something about the highly anxious testtakers12.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.A. attention and memory resourcesB. worries about the consequencesC. concerns about the examD. cognitive horsepower13.According to the research, the solution to the test anxiety is to________.A. sit quietly before the examB. prepare well before the testC. set their mind on happy memoriesD. write about their feelings before the test14.The result of the research suggests that ________.A. proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thingB. avoiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxationC. facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve moreD. taking no action before difficulty may result in successBSeen from space the Earth is covered in a blue mantle. It is a planet on which the continents are dwarfed(相形见绌)by the oceans surrounding them and the vastness of the marine area.An astonishing 80 percent of all the life on Earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean pulses around our world driving the natural forces which keep life on our planet.The oceans provide necessary sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products of use the world over and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the Earth habitable.Without the global ocean there would be no life on Earth.It is seriously worrying, then, that we are damaging the oceans on a scale that is unimaginable to most people.We now know that human activity can have serious influences on the vital forces governing our planet. We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that. As yet largely unseen,but just as serious,are the influences we are having on the oceans. A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats. The actual state of our oceans is a far cry from this natural level.A large quantity of human pressures are being exerted both directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems the world over.

Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man's life and two to a woman's. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or selfharm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn't smoke. There's aflip_side,_however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse's death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30year study of more than 10,000 people, NicholasChristakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socioeconomic factors, healthservice provision, emotional support and other more physiologi cal (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says, “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”11.William Farr's study and other studies show that ________.A.social life provides an effective cure for illnessB.being sociable helps improve one's quality of lifeC.women benefit more than men from marriageD.marriage contributes a great deal to longevity12.Linda Waite's studies support the idea that ________.A.older men should quit smoking to stay healthyB.marriage can help make up for ill healthC.the married are happier than the unmarriedD.unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life13.It can be inferred from the context that the underlined part “flip side”(Para. 2) refers to ________.A.the disadvantages of being marriedB.the emotional problems arising from marriageC.the responsibility of taking care of one's familyD.the consequence of a broken marriage14.What does the author say about social networks?A.They have effects similar to those of a marriage.B.They help develop people's community spirit.C.They provide timely support for those in need.D.They help relieve people of their life's burdens.15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.It's important that we develop a social network when young.B.To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C.Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D.We should share our social networks with each other.BDu Fu(712—770) was one of the greatest poets in the Tang Dynasty. His poetry first came to be recognized at the Tang Dynasty. Readers of many different periods have considered Du Fu to be the greatest poet of the Chinese tradition. Such general agreement can partially be explained by the immense variety of his works, which hold up quite well to different tastes and historical changes in fashion. Like Shakespeare in English tradition, Du Fu's poetry came to be so deeply bound up with the constitution of literary value that generation after generation of poets and critics rediscovered themselves and their interests in some aspect of the poet.Chinese critics from the Song Dynasty referred to Du Fu as the “poethistori an”. Both before and after the An Lushan Revolt, Du Fu witnessed a typical political and social situation: the common people still lived in poverty while the emperor and his top officials enjoyed a foolishly luxurious life. He composed many poems such as Song of the Warchariots, Three Officials,and Three Departures. His poems expressed his dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people. Du Fu used his poems to comment on current events and historical images. Du Fu became the historian by creating his responses to particular situations.Du Fu was talented. When he was young, he wanted to get a good job in the government. Unfortunately Du Fu was refused several times. It was in his fifties that he began to serve as a minor official in Chang'an (Xi'an). Gongbu was his official title and probably he was in charge of the local industry.Du Fu was not a skilled survivor in government politics. He was dismissed in the form of a transfer to the post of personnel administrator in Huazhou and so left Chang'an. Du Fu soon gave up this minor post in disgust and set off with his family to Qinzhou in the northwest. After a short stay he moved on again and in 759 he arrived in Chengdu. He set up a modest cottage with some money he borrowed from his friend who served as a local governor. In the cottage he had a simple and peaceful life for three years, writing about 240 poems. Mostly inspired by the cottage, the stream nearby and the scenery in Chengdu, these poems give the impression that he was happier in Chengdu than any other time in his life. The poems of this period sound relaxed and happy.Du Fu left Chengdu after 762 and wandered in the southern provinces and eventually died of illness in 770. After his death, the people of Chengdu built a shrine on the site of his garden to honor him, which is known as part of Du Fu Thatched Cottage now.16.Why does the author compare Du Fu to Shakespeare?A.Du Fu's poetry was written following Shakespeare's style.B.Du Fu's poetry referred to the social change critically.C.Du Fu and Shakespeare were best friends.D.Shakespeare read a lot of Du Fu's poems.17.Du Fu ________ when he was young.A.didn't want to be an officialB.was worried about the educationC.wasn't liked by the emperorD.was not offered an opportunity to work in the government18.What did Du Fu describe in most of his poems?A.The luxurious life that the emperor and his top officials enjoyed.B.His happy life.C.His responses to particular situations.D.His dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people.19.What did people do after Du Fu died according to the passage?A.They built a shrine to honor him.B.They rebuilt the cottage he had lived into a high building.C.They destroyed his cottage.D.They made a carved statue of him.20.What's the best title of the passage?A.Du Fu—the most important politician in the Tang DynastyB.The origin of Du Fu Thatched CottageC.Du Fu—one of the greatest poets in the Tang DynastyD.Du Fu was not a skilled survivor in government politicsⅢ.读写任务阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

课时作业二十七选修6 Unit 2 Poems班级:姓名:建议时间/ 30分钟Ⅰ.阅读理解A词数:363 话题:诗歌文体:说明文Many of us grew up reciting classic poems from textbooks,learning to appreciate this beautiful art form that s able to use just a few lines to convey such rich meanings.To recognize the unique ability of poetry and acquire the creative spirit of the human mind, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. One of the main goals of the day, according to the UN, is to support linguistic(语言的) diversity through poetic expression.Chinese poetry has a long history that dates back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It became extremely popular during the Tang and Song dynasties. Even today, classic poems are still loved by a lot of people.And even TV series featuring classic poetry are hugely popular. For example,in the 2011 hit period drama,The Legend of Zhen Huan,classic poems recited by the show s characters are often quoted(引用)by Internet users. One of the drama s most moving songs was adapted from a verse(韵文)written by Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty.Meanwhile,the TV show Chinese Poetry Competition,which featuresclassic works from famous Chinese poets, is also a big success.“In poetry,I ve found echoes(共鸣)of human emotions,including happiness,anger,joy and sorrow,”one of the show s contestants(参赛者) told CCTV. “When I read ancient texts,I feel I reach the depths of these poems and find the real meanings of them.”Classic poetry has become an important way to pass on and spread traditional Chinese culture. In January, the Ministry of Education released(发布)new curriculum standards for high schools that recommended students to recite 72 ancient poems or articles, up from 14.Indeed, many people believe that learning classic poems is important in today s world. “Through the bridge of poetry, people today can resonate with (产生共鸣) the values of our ancestors. Their wisdom has gained new life in the modern world,”Yao Xishuang,director of the Department of Language Application and Administration under the Ministry of Education, told CCTV.1.Why does the UN hold World Poetry Day, according to the article?A.To encourage the creation of poetry around the world.B.To bring attention to the linguistic differences in poetry.C.To build a better global community through poetry.D.To remind people of the long history of poetry.2.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.Poetry in our daily lives.B.Poetry in modern society.C.Poetry in a hit reality show.D.Poetry in a period drama.3.Why is learning classic poetry still important in today s world, according to Yao Xishuang?A.Poetry is a bridge to the wisdom of our ancestors.B.Poetry is considered the best form of Chinese literature.C.Poetry is full of sincere human emotions.D.Poetry teaches people the true meaning of life.B词数:318 话题:地画文体:说明文The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画)in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. They are ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt,Malta,United States (Mississippi and California),Chile,Bolivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological(考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth,with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode(腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-coloured subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.4.What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A.They were built as a big map.B.They were formed by nature.C.They are ancient lines in caves.D.They are huge markings in a desert.5.How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.6.Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A.Because of the wind at ground level.B.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.Because of the climate and geography.D.Because of the thick sand on the top.7.What does the underlined word “eternal”probably mean?A.Non-stop.B.Ever-lasting.C.Real-life.D.High-end.Ⅱ.语法填空词数:204 话题:新的绘画方式文体:说明文Tian Haisu,a Chinese artist who uses roller skates to create traditional Chinese landscape paintings,8. (say)she wants to give the traditional form of painting a new lease of life. To create these unique paintings, Tian uses a 9. (modify)pair of skates with a pot of black paint attached to the wheels. She puts 10. (they)on and skates in deliberate patterns over a large canvas. “I am so passionate about ink landscaping because it shows very rich emotions by means of simple forms,”she said.Tian received her first big break at the age of 18, 11. one of her artworks 12.

The members of our club met once a week. We have difference activities and I enjoy all of it. We ve invited some well-known painters to a club to talk about the history of Chinese painting but teach us the basic techniques of drawing.

husband,Martin,has three children from his previous marriage and they visit Debbie,Martin,Lily and Alex at weekends.In addition,Debbie is pregnant with her third child.She’s expecting a boy who will be a halfbrother to Lily and Alex and also to Martin’s thr ee other children.Confused?Debbie’s family arrangements might have seemed strange 30 years ago but nowadays this kind of “reconstituted” family is increasingly common in the UK.Almost half of all marriages in Britain end in divorce and over 40% of marriages are remarriages.More than 10% of all British children live with one birth parent and a stepparent—a parent who isn’t their biological mother or father.The traditional “nuclear” family of two parents and their children is not so traditional any more.What does all of this mean for parents in these “reconstituted” families?“There are difficulties and challenges,” says Debbie.“Different families have different routines and it can be difficult for children to move between their two families.Birthdays and holidays can be tricky.Where do the children go?Who should they spend their time with?Also,when my children are naughty it can be difficult for Martin to

Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time.Lucille Clifton was born Thelma Lucille Sayles in Depew, New York in 1936. She was named Thelma after her mother. Lucille was the name of one of her father's ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words.
