| Lucille Clifton, the AwardWinning Poet, was the First African American Poet Laureate of Maryland. Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time. Lucille Clifton was born Thelma Lucille Sayles in Depew, New York in 1936. She was named Thelma after her mother. Lucille was the name of one of her father's ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille. Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew. While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called "Lucy"． She often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world. Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton's poetry was anything but traditional. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. They do not deal in makebelieve. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation(标点) and even less capitalization. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art. |

| What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow,orange,red? __1__Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least,this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference,as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. __2__If you happen to love brown,you did so,as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly. __3__A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. __4__ A black bridge over the Thames River,near London,used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. __5__It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. |
| A. On the other hand,black is depressing. B. They tell us,among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up-we are born with our preference. C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like. D. If you do,you must be an optimist,a leader,an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement. E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. F. Life is like a picture or a poem,full of different colours. G. Colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. |
