Toni Morrison, an American writer who received the Nobel Prize in Literature, was admired as the country's
greatest living writer and died at age 88. Her novels, Beloved, Song of Solomon, and others explored the way
African-Americans search for freedom and identity in a country obsessed with skin color.
She published her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970.Eighteen years later, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her
novel Beloved, the story of a mother who kills her baby daughter rather than permit her to be born into slavery. It
became a best-seller and was later made into a film. The Nobel Prize committee described her writing as “language
itself, a language she wants to liberate from race.” Her novels discussed America’s past, focusing on black history
and the effects of racism on individuals.
She was born Chloe Ardelia Wofford in Lorain, Ohio, in 1931.Her father worked in a steel factory, and her
mother was a maid. She attended Howard University, an all-black university in Washington, D.C. At Howard, she
read African, British and American literature, including writers William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf. “The writers
who affect me the most were novelists who were writing in Africa: Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart was a major
education for me, ”she told the Associated Press in 1998.
After a short marriage, she became a single mother of two sons and worked as a book editor in New York.
Several publishers rejected her first book, The Bluest Eye, but it impressed The New York Times’ book critic John
Leonard who believed Morrison was an important new voice. He said her writing was “so charged with pain and
wonder that the novel becomes poetry.”
Morrison enjoyed her literary fame and was proud of her Nobel Prize. “Nobody was going to take that and
make it into something else. I felt representational. I felt American. I felt Ohioan. I felt blacker than ever. I felt
more woman than ever. I felt all of that and put all of that together and went out and had a good time, ”she said.
4. Which of the following is covered in Morrison’s novels?
A. The history of Blacks. B. Africa’s past.
C. The effects of American freedom. D. English literature.
5. What can we learn from John Leonard’s words?
A. He rejected Morrison’s first book. B. He appreciated Morrison’s poems.
C. He thought highly of The Bluest eye. D. He saw Morrison’s language as a wonder.
6. What can be inferred about Morrison from the last paragraph?
A. She longed to be an American. B. She felt proud of her color.
C. She changed her attitude to life. D. She was crazy about her works.

France is getting tough with food waste with great determination.A new law has been passed in the country
that will ban grocery stores over 4, 305 square feet from throwing away unsold food.If it's still safe to eat, the food
must be donated to charity; if not, it goes to farmers for use as animal feed or compost(肥料).
Supermarkets will no longer be allowed to destroy unsold food intentionally in order to prevent people from
eating it.There are many people who search for food in the garbage cans behind stores, wanting to take advantage
of the perfectly edible(可食用)food that gets thrown away on a daily basis; and yet some stores try to stop this,
either by locking the garbage cans or pouring bleach(漂白剂)into them, a practice that Guillaume Garot, the former
French food minister who proposed the new bill, describes as“scandalous.”
Food waste is a global problem, with an estimated 24 percent of calories produced for human consumption
never getting eaten.Most of this waste happens at the final consumption stage.It is reported that“the average French
person throws out 20 to 30 kilograms of food a year—7kg of which is still in its wrapping.”American shoppers
throw away about one-fifth of everything they buy at the grocery store, according to a fascinating new documentary
called“Just Eat It”.
