Bard,Kinetic(Coffee House Press,2023)by Anne Waldman,one of the most important living
American poets is a new collection of autobiographical (自传体的)pieces including
published and unpublished essays,correspondence,interviews,and poems from the last 20 years.
Though the origin of the texts and poems is relatively recent,Bard,Kinetic tracks Waldman's
life from her childhood in Greenwich Village to the present. Rather than a memoir (回忆录)
this energetic collection integrates her stories into contexts—literarypolitical,spiritual,familial.
In Sketch,the first and longest piece in the book, Waldman describes what guided her to
poetry from an early age——Her intellectual and artistic parents encouraged her "to read widely,
to write, think, talk about it, be curious and critical."Reading Sketch for its wonderful
autobiographical details and the successful moments that run through Waldman's life is a pleasure.
In Interview with Poetas,Madrid 2018,another piece from the book's second section,she wrote,"We
need cultural and humanitarian revolution. We need poetry to remind us of the magic we have had
that needs attendance and recharge."Her voice and vision have a collective width.
Waldman insists on combining art with nearly every aspect of her life.Bard,Kinetic,at all
points,a high-energy construct,and at all points, an energy-discharge, puts readers on the path to
recognizing poetry as a mental aid, as an action that reaches across geography, species,and time.
As she wrote in the book's preface,she commands herself to "keep pushing for knowledge,study
with a deeper investigation and a deeper action. The action, totally necessary". These are high
aims that Waldman has insisted on,tirelessly,her entire life. Waldman shines. Her heart could be
our heart.
This new book is best read as a companion of Vow to Poetry(2001),Waldman's previous
collection of interviews and autobiographical essays, which will help readers appreciate this book
better.
4. What do we know about Bard,Kinetic by Waldman?
A. It is a memoir. B. It documents her life and work.
C. It is her first collection of poems. D. It is to be issued by Coffee House Press.
5. What's the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To add relevant background information.
B. To help readers gain partial insight into the book.
C. To persuade readers to conduct selective reading.
D. To introduce Waldman's writing styles.
6. What is implied in the underlined sentence“Her heart could be our heart."in paragraph 4?
A. We should stick to our goals. B. We should learn poems by heart.
C. We should seek fame and wealth. D. We should enjoy life to our hearts' content.
7. What's the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A news report.
C. A book review. D. An autobiography.
C
Many important decisions boil down to a choice between keeping the supposed safety and
risking going out for a chance at getting something even better. Though risk-taking preferences
vary between individuals,research with humans shows that we're all generally less willing to take
risks in situations with more ambiguous (模糊的)outcomes.“The finding should also apply to
risk-taking in chimps(黑猩猩),one of our closest evolutionary(进化的)ancestors,"said
Haux,from Max Planck Institute for Human Development.
To test the evolutionary roots of human risk preference,Haux and his colleagues measured 55
chimps living in reserves for their risky and ambiguous choices in an experimental setting. In each
trial, they chose a ball from one of two pots. One pot was always safe because it contained two
balls filled with one peanut each. In the risky condition, the second pot also contained two
balls,but one was filled with two peanuts and the other with nothing. In the ambiguous
condition,the balls in the second pot still contained two rewards or nothing, but the contents in the
pot was entirely invisible to the chimps.
On average,chimps chose the risky pot over the safe pot 55% of the time but chose the
ambiguous pot over the safe pot in just 25% of trials. This suggests that chimps, like
humans,prefer to avoid situations with ambiguous versus known risks.
“Structural similarities in risk preferences of humans and one of our closest living relatives
are likely to reflect adaptations to similar dynamics in evolution. While many other factors may
influence human risk-taking preferences, the parallels between human and chimp behavior suggest
that evolutionary adaptions have helped set a consistent baseline,"Haux said.
Future work will compare how the risk-taking preferences of chimps living in reserves may
differ from those living in zoos or in the wild,as well as how they compare to those of
bonobos,another close evolutionary relative of humans,Haux added.
8. Why was the research on risk preference conducted on chimps?
A. To test their intelligence level. B. To guide them to make wise decisions.
C. To prove the evolutionary consistency. D. To distinguish each individual's difference.
9. Which illustrates the risky condition in the experimental setting?
10. What does the underlined word“parallels"in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Conflicts. B. Interactions. C. Misunderstandings. D. Similarities.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The range of the subjects will be extended.
