“I was sleeping on the street for nine days. If it weren’t for Crisis, I might have died,” said Eddie, who was a
chef for years, working in luxurious hotels in London. He lost his job and his health declined. He spent all his
savings on rent and was forced to leave his home when they ran out.
He stayed with a friend, but it was crowded, and his friend eventually asked him to leave. Eddie found out
about Crisis by chance and was referred to a Crisis at Christmas hotel.
Eddie was given a Crisis coach, who supported him in finding somewhere to live and he was given a phone,
which he used to look for work. Eddie is settled in his new home. His health condition is much better and he is
looking forward to the future.

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poets, is a new collection of autobiographical (自传体的) pieces, including published and unpublished essays,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 — literary, political, 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
