四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】第一篇：       Today it’s my turn to give the weekly oral report. And the topic that Professor May has assigned me is the lifeof the poet Emily Dickinson. Compared to Whitman, whom we discussed last week, I found Emily Dickinsonstrikingly different. She seems in fact to be the complete opposite of Whitman in her life and in her work. I wouldlike to share briefly with the class some of the essential facts of her biography. Emily Dickinson was born in 1830in Amherst, Massachusetts, barely a decade after Whitman. In her early twenties, for a reason which still remainsa mystery, she began to withdraw from ordinary contact with the world. For the remaining 30 years of her life, shewas seldom seen outside her home. In this respect, she was quite unlike Whitman, who loved the great outdoorsand was quite actively engaged in some outdoor activities. Emily Dickinson spent her solitary days correspondingwith friends and writing hundreds of remarkable poems. Although she showed some of her poems to her familyand sent some in letters to friends, only four were published in her lifetime. Most of her poems, almost 1,200 ofthem, were discovered in her home after she died in 1886. These poems established her as a major poet. Severalmodern critics consider her the greatest woman poet in the English language. Uh, that’s about all I have. Now let’sbegin talking about Dickinson’s “I’m Nobody,” which Professor May assigned for today’s discussion.
