Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.
Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen.
Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a
daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.
Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha. Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.
In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.
By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.

__3__ Few take the time to talk face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we store at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest.

本文主要讲了女书的由来。女书是女性创作的，用来表达自己的情感，它是由才女创造的独特的写作体系，是女权主义的象征，代表了中国女性的精神。
1．called 解析：考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语these slim words 与动词call之间是动宾关系，所以该空需用过去分词，故填called。
2．was_taught 解析：考查被动语态。这里指的是女书被年长的女性教给女孩们，所以该句需用被动语态，故填was taught。
3．to_attend 解析：考查不定式。allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事，其被动结构为sb. be allowed to do sth.某人被允许做某事，所以该空需用不定式，故填to attend。
4．that/which 解析：考查定语从句关系词。该句中的先行词为their emotions，在句中作主语，所以需用关系代词that或者which，故填that/which。
5．of 解析：考查介词。be full of充满，为固定搭配，这里指的是这些话充满了鼓励和正能量，故填of。
6．a 解析：考查冠词。这里指的是一个独特的创作体系，表示泛指，所以需用冠词，故填a。
7．talented 解析：考查形容词。这里指的是有才能的女性，所以该空需用形容词来修饰名词women，故填talented。
8．fields 解析：考查名词复数。由various可知，该空需用复数形式，故填fields。 9．widely 解析：考查副词。这里指的是今天在日常生活中不被广泛使用，这里需用副词修饰动词use，故填widely。
10．disappearing 解析：考查动名词。from为介词，其后需接名词、代词、动名词，disappear为动词，所以该空需用动名词，故填disappearing。

My father's friend Henry used to be a teacher at a medical school and he was very strict with his students. The students were afraid of him though he was seldom pleased of the answers they gave. Once a student was seated before him, and Henry required him describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK. Then Henry asked about the cure for the illness, but the student gave the right answer. “How much will you give the patient？” “A full spoon！” Suddenly the student realizes that there was anything wrong. He said anxiously, “I've made the mistake：a full spoon is too many, and he can take only five drops.” “It's too late; your patient has been died，” Henry said cold.
