When Dreiser is gone, men shall write books. Many of them, in the books, shall write there will be so many of the qualities Dreiser lacks. The new, the younger man shall have a sense of humor, and everyone knows Dreiser has no sense of humor. More than that, American prose writers shall have grace, lightness of touch, a dream of beauty breaking through the husks of life.
Of those who follow him shall have many things that Dreiser does not have. That is a part of the wonder and beauty of Theodore Dreiser, the things that others shall have because of him,
Long ago, when Dreiser was an editor of the Delineator, he went one day, with a woman friend, to visit an orphan asylum. The woman once told me the story of that afternoon in the big, ugly gray building, Dreiser folding and refolding his pocket handkerchief and watching the children — all in their little uniforms, trooping in.
"The tears ran down his cheeks and he shook his head", the woman said, and that is a real picture of Theodore Dreiser. He is old in spirit and does not know what to do with life, so he tells about it as he sees it, simply and honestly. The tears run down his cheeks and he folds and refolds the pocket-handkerchief and shakes his head.
Heavy, heavy, the feet of Theodore. How easy to pick some of his books to pieces, to laugh at him for so much of his heavy prose.
The feet of Theodore are making a path, the heavy brutal feet. They are tramping through the wilderness of lies, making a path. Presently the path will be a street, with great arches overhead and delicately carved spires piercing the sky. Along the street will run children, shouting, "Look at me. See what I and my fellows of the new day have done" — forgetting the heavy feet of Dreiser.
The follows of the inkpots, the prose writers in America who follow Dreiser, will have much to do that has never done. Their road is long but, because of him, those who follow will never have to face the road through the wilderness of Puritan denial, the road that Dreiser faced alone.
Heavy, heavy, hangs over the head.
Fine, or superfine?

A.he folded and refolded the pocket-handkerchief

C.his tears ran down
D.All of the above.

W: That will be fun. Let's take the children, too.

听力原文:M: Miss Grace, I'm glad that you've made it through that heavy snow.
W: Yes, I was not expecting so much snow here and it is colder than I expected. I was unable to book a taxi from the hotel, so I had to get up early and come by bus.
M: We are having extraordinary weather this winter. Even so, you are on time for your appointment. During this interview, I would like to give you a brief overview of our MBA program and job requirements. You'll want to know this background information, then I'll need to get some information from you. If you have questions, please feel free to ask them.
W: All right.
M: You are aware that we have a special purpose for this MBA program. We want to help young professionals find direction and position. The student should earn a certificate upon completion of the program.
W: There is definitely a shortage of trained personnel in this area.
M: From your resume, I notice that you have experience in the business world as well as in teaching MBA courses. What do you consider to be your strong points?
W: My present employer says I am creative but practical. He has commented more than once I'm the best CEO he's ever had.
M: If you are hired, what would you plan to do for our students?
W: I would hope to help the students become diligent and efficient employees. I would give them a solid foundation in managerial expertise as well as professional knowledge.
M: Miss Grace, you will be taking a cut in salary by coming here. Would you mind telling me why you are considering a change of jobs? Is it because of your health? Many people come to this city for the mild climate, and of course for the clean air. This winter is an exception, though.
W: No, I just love to work with young people, and I'd like to share with them my work experience.

听力原文:W: Hi, Jim. Have you ever read the works of Ernest Hemingway?
M: Oh, I like Hemingway very much, his style, the Hemingway theme with a Hemingway hero.
W: You are really my bosom friend. Yes. Hemingway wrote all his life about one theme, that is "grace under pressure". The world Hemingway created is a world of violence, despair and death, a world in which man cannot find the meaning of life.
M: Yes. I have the same feeling with you. But his hero is not a coward, a weeper. In face of inevitable defeat, keeping a stiff upper-lip means a kind of victory.
W: So he often has stoic endurance. Even in defeat he can maintain some dignity; in spite of defeat he continues to fight with the despairing courage, which enables him to behave like a man, to assert his dignity in face of adversity. From him we can see the spirit of the noble--Hemingway type of individualism.
M: It is a kind of tragic beauty. I am deeply touched by their spirit, even though it's futile to fight.
W: At least they give us a stir, give us an inspiration: never give up.
M: Yes. Hemingway is a myth in his own times, and a myth in American literature. But he ended his life to the whole world's shock.
W: He died a strong man, a hero. Few have such a despairing courage, and he did this with "grace under pres sure".
