The books we read when we’re young have a special sort of power.They can inspire us to be brave and resilient!(Matilda by Roald Dahl),take us on thrilling adventures (Divergent by Veronica Roth) and even introduce us to tragedy (悲剧) (The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson).They’re as formative as anything else in our young lives,and sometimes they’re the first place we encounter larger-than-life ideas,thinking of the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird.In The Magic Words,Cheryl B.Klein,sets out to inform would-be writers on how great novels for young readers work.
The market for YA (young-adult) novels is booming:sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years,and adult authors including Meg Wolitzer and Carl Hiaasen are getting in on the phenomenon.The Magic Words aims to be a master class.And in the era of promoted self-help sensations like Marie Kondo and Brenie Brown,The Magic Words is of a piece.
Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious (clear plot-lines,sympathetic characters) to reveal the technical significance of some beloved classics.L.M.Montgomery surely didn’t regard Anne of Green Gables as a cash-in endeavor.But for those who want to be best-seller writers,Anne is instructive:what’s timeless and broadly appealing about Anne—her teenage heart and impulses (冲动) is what to examine.Once you understand that,Klein encourages you to get personal:What makes you ideal to write your story?And what does it mean to the reader?
On the latter question,The Magic Words is more than a handbook.It is also a timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults.They must start with an awareness of their readers—not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues,like bullies or tolerance that the characters face.The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and value the world around them.The magic isn’t in the words:it’s in how the words come together to reflect and confirm the realities of a diverse young-adult experience.

A.Divergent even introduces us to tragedy.
B.Matilda can take us on thrilling adventures.

Norwegian author,playwright and poet Jon Fosse has been named the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.The Swedish Academy said on Thursday it was for his “innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable”.
This made him the first Nynorsk writer to receive the prize and the fourth Norwegian to win it,following Sigrid Undset,who won it in 1928.Previous winners of the prize—given for a body of works,rather than a single book—have included Toni Morrison,Doris Lessing,Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Bob Dylan.
Born in 1959,Fosse grew up in western Norway,on a small farm in Strandebarm.He started writing poems and stories at age 12,and found writing to be a form of escape.Fosse enrolled at the University of Bergen and studied comparative literature during which time he began writing in Nynorsk,a minority language.
In 1983,Fosse published his first novel Red,Black,kicking off a remarkably prolific(高产的) career.He has published 40 plays,as well as novels,poetry,essays,children’s books and works of translation.Although he started as a poet and novelist,Fosse rose to fame as a playwright.He gained international recognition in the late 1990s with a Paris production of his first play Someone Is Going to Come,which was said to be written in four or five days without revision.
Fosse has long been tipped to receive the Nobel.In 2013,British bookmakers even temporarily suspended betting on the award after numerous bets on his winning,although the prize did not come his way for another decade.When it finally did,the call from the Nobel Prize’s organizers came while Fosse was traveling to Frekhaug,a village on Norway’s west coast.He admitted he was overwhelmed and somewhat frightened.
Nobel committee chairman Anders Olsson said,“What is special with him is the closeness in his writing.It touches on the deepest feelings that you have—anxieties,insecurities,questions of life and death—such things that every human being actually encounters from the very beginning.It doesn’t matter if it is drama,poetry or prose—it has the same kind of appeal to this basic humanness.”
5.What can we learn from the article?
A.Fosse won the Nobel Prize for his abundant works.
B.Nynorsk is a widely used Norwegian language for literature.
C.With his career taking off for the first novel,Fosse became globally recognized.
D.It’s believed that Fosse had his first play polished in a couple of days.
6.What can be inferred from the incident in 2013?
A.It proved that British bookmakers were against Fosse.
B.It demonstrated that Fosse was a failure for a long time.
C.It indicated that Fosse was in favor with the general public.
D.It revealed that Fosse didn’t receive the Nobel Prize until 2023.
7.What makes Fosse’s writing unique?
A.Productivity in works.
B.Diverse types in writing.
C.The language style different from others.
D.Deep emotional connections with humans.
8.Where is this article probably taken from?
A.A novel. B.A newspaper.
C.A brochure. D.A guidebook.
Ⅴ.七选五
How to Read a Poem
You’ve selected the poem you want to read—congratulations!Now it’s time for the business of reading it.
Examine the title and the shape
1 —how does it make you feel?How does the title fit the shape of the poem?If the title is sad,let the shape of the poem inform the small difference of the emotion—if it’s short and sparse (稀疏的),maybe it’s coming from a place of desolation or desperation. 2 .
Read the poem as you normally read anything
Reading poetry doesn’t require a clever approach;you can read as you’d read anything else.On the first pass through,absorb whatever it is that arises upon first impression. 3 ,maybe your stomach churns (恶心) at a particular phrase,or you hold your breath at a certain line.Explore the feelings that come up as you read.
4
Next,try reading the poem out loud or search for readings of the poem online.This is where the music of a poem emerges,and you can feel the shape of each word and line as you move through it.
Add context to paint a full picture
Finally,return to the poem context. 5 ;look at the publication date and consider the world around the poem when it was first released.Consider where the poem lives:Was it released as part of the author’s poetry book,or was it published in a literary magazine?From these details and materials you will get a deeper understanding of the poem.
A.Re-read for sound
B.Re-read for meaning
C.Dig into the author’s history
D.Notice where in the poem you react
E.Look for where the poem offers a moment of surprise
F.Before you start a poem,you should first read the title
G.Long messy forms might mean it’s coming from a place of confusion or anger
