November and December(36) early snow and bone-chilling temperatures in much of the country, part of a year when, for the first time in two
3、(37), record-cold days will likely turn out to have outnumbered record-warm ones. But the U.S. was the exception; November was the warmest ever (38), and current data indicates that is likely to have been the fourth hottest year on record.Enjoy the snow now, because (39)are good that will be even ho
4、tter, perhaps the hottest year since records have been kept. Thats because, scientists are predicting, will be an EI Niuo year.EI niuo, Spanish for “the child”, (40) when surface ocean waters in the southern Pacific become abnormally warm. So large is the Pacific, covering 30% of the planets surface
5、, that the(41 )energy generated by its warming is enough to touch off a series of weather changes around the world. EI Ninos are (42)with abnormally dry conditions in Southeast Asia and Australia.

7、y impossible teacher. She cared about me,and my intellectual life, even when I didnt. Her expectations were highimpossibly so. She was an English teacher. She was also my mother.B) When good students turn in anessay, they dream of their instructor returning it to them in exactly the samecondition, s
8、ave for a single word added in the margin of the final page:”Flawless.” This dream came true for me one afternoon in the ninth grade. Ofcourse, I had heard that genius could show itself at an early age, so I wasonly slightly taken aback that I had achieved perfection at the tender age of14. Obviousl
9、y, I did what any professional writer would do; I hurried off tospread the good news. I didnt get very far. The first person I told was mymother.C) My mother, who is just shy offive feet tall, is normally incredibly soft-spoken, but on the rare occasionwhen she got angry, she was terrifying. I am no
10、t sure if she was more upset bymy hubris(得意忘形) or by the fact that my Englishteacher had let my ego get so out of hand. In any event, my mother and her redpen showed me how deeply flawed a flawless essay could be. At the time, I amsure she thought she was teaching me about mechanics, transitions(過渡)
11、, structure, style and voice. But what I learned, and what stuckwith me through my time teaching writing at Harvard, was a deeper lesson aboutthe nature of creative criticism.D) Fist off, it hurts. Genuinecriticism, the type that leaves a lasting mark on you as a writer, also leavesan existential im
12、print(印記) on you asa person. I have heard people say that a writer should never take criticismpersonally. I say that we should never listen to these people.E) Criticism, at its best, isdeeply personal, and gets to the heart of why we write the way we do. Theintimate nature of genuine criticism impli
13、es something about who is able togive it, namely, someone who knows you well enough to show you how your mentallife is getting in the way of good writing. Conveniently, they are also thepeople who care enough to see you through this painful realization. For me ittook the form of my first, and I hope
14、 only, encounter with writers block;I wasnot able to produce anything for three years.F) Franz Kafka once said:” Writingis utter solitude(獨處), the descentinto the cold abyss(深淵) ofoneself. “My mothers criticism had shown me that Kafka is right about the coldabyss, and when you make the introspective
15、 (內(nèi)省的) decent that writing requires you are out always pleased by whatyou find.” But, in the years that followed, her sustained tutoring suggestedthat Kafka might be wrong about the solitude. I was lucky enough to find acritic and teacher who was willing to make the journey of writing with me. “Itis
16、 a thing of no great difficulty,” according to Plutarch, “to raise objectionsagainst another mans speech, it is a very easy matter; but to produce a betterin its place is a work extremely troublesome.” I am sure I wrote essays in thelater years of high school without my mothers guidance, but I cant
17、recallthem. What I remember, however, is how we took up the “extremely troublesome”work of ongoing criticism.G) There are two ways to interpretPlutarch when he suggests that a critic should be able to produce “a better inits place.” In a straightforward sense, he could mean that a critic must bemore
18、 talented than the artist she critiques(評論). My mother was well covered on this count. But perhaps Plutarch issuggesting something slightly different, something a bit closer to MarcusCiceros claim that one should “criticize by creation, not by finding fault.”Genuine criticism creates a precious open
19、ing for an author to become better onthis own terms;a process that is often extremely painful, but also almostalways meaningful.H) My mother said she would helpme with my writing, but fist I had myself. For each assignment, I was write thebest essay I could. Real criticism is not meant to find obvio
20、us mistakes, so ifshe found any;the type I could have found on my own;I had to start fromscratch. From scratch. Once the essay was “flawless,” she would take an eveningto walk me through my errors. That was when true criticism, the type thatchanged me as a person, began.I) She criticized me when Iin
21、cluded little-known references and professional jargon(行話). She had no patience for brilliant but irrelevant figures ofspeech. “Writers cant bluff(虛張聲勢) theirway through ignorance.” That was news to me;I would need to find another way tostructure my daily existence.J) She trimmed back my flowerylang
22、uage, drew lines through my exclamation marks and argued for the value ofrestraint in expression. “John,” she almost whispered. I learned in to hearher:”I cant hear you when you shout at me.” So I stopped shouting andbluffing, and slowly my writing improved.K) Somewhere along the way I setaside my h
23、opes of writing that flawless essay. But perhaps I missed somethingimportant in my mothers lessons about creativity and perfection. Perhaps thepoint of writing the flawless essay was not to give up, but to never willinglyfinish. Whitman repeatedly reworded “Song of Myself” between 1855 and 1891.Repe
24、atedly. We do our absolute best wiry a piece of writing, and come as closeas we can to the ideal. And, for the time being, we settle. In critique,however, we are forced to depart, to give up the perfection we thought we hadachieved for the chance of being even a little bit better. This is the lesson
25、 Itook from my mother. If perfection were possible, it would not be motivating.46. The author was advised against theimproper use of figures of speech.47. The authors mother taught him avaluable lesson by pointing out lots of flaws in his seemingly perfect essay.48. A writer should polish his writin
26、grepeatedly so as to get closer to perfection.49. Writers may experience periods of timein their life when they just cant produce anything.50. The author was not much surprised whenhis school teacher marked his essay as “flawless”.51. Criticizing someones speech is said tobe easier than coming up wi
27、th a better one.52. The author looks upon his mother as hismost demanding and caring instructor.53. The criticism the author received fromhis mother changed him as a person.54. The author gradually improved hiswriting by avoiding fact language.55. Constructive criticism gives an authora good start t
