7.(CHINA DAILY Oct.20th,2016)It doesn't seem that US singer Bob Dylan has much in common with literary mavens(内行)like Ernest Hemingway and T.S.Elliot.But,last week,these three figures became forever bonded(粘合的)by the Nobel Prize for Literature.
This year's prize makes Dylan the first American since Toni Morrison in 1993to win the title.At the same time,the surprise announcement has also burned a firestorm of discussion around the globe.
Influential US writer Jodi Picoult joked that she might now deserve a Grammy(美国金唱片奖).And well-known British-Indian novelist Hari Kunzru lamented(悲叹)on social media by saying:"This feels like the lamest Nobel winner since they gave it to Obama for not being Bush.".
Dylan's new status-a musician awarded the Nobel Prize for literature-to a degree challenge tradition.However,this is by no means his first prize for his writing talents.Back in 2008,the Pulitzer Prize jury(普利策奖评委会)awarded Dylan a special award"for his profound impact on popular music and American culture,marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power".To this point,it could be argued that what the Nobel Committee is doing is simply strengthening Dylan's unshakable standing in the world of literature.
The words behind Dylan's songs address social issues and have been spread from generation to generation.Protest songs like Blowin in the Wind(1962)were the anthems(圣歌)of anti-war and civil rights movements in 1960s US.Densely poetic and image-rich songs such as Mr.Tambourine Mam(1965)pushed the folk-rock movement.And even today,many of Dylan's songs are still relevant and streamed regularly by people all over the world.

29.Why has Bob Dylan's winning the Nobel Prize caused a global discussion?C
A.Because he ha nothing in common with Nobel Prize.
B.Because he is the first American Nobel Prize winner since 1993.
C.Because he won a special award from the Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008.
D.Because he is the first singer who won the Nobel Prize for literature.

5.About Social Work
If helping people out is your thing,then social work is the field for you.Of course,just being polite and holding the door open for others won't be classified as professional work.Social work involves giving back to society a little bit of what you feel you owe to it.
It is often divided into two different branches.You can either help society physically of financially.Some people who do not have money to give back contribute with their time and energy.There are several cases where we see that people go for teaching poor children and conducting drives on social awareness.Many others,with more money but less time,prefer financing social work bodies by handing out large sums of money as donations to help them run.
An attitude of service is important as the point of social work is to help people grow.It is all about serving people who are financially difficult and need your support to be able to work on the same basis with the rest of the world.
The people that social workers are serving are clearly for one reason or the other,disadvantaged.By helping out,the basic idea is to reduce this difference between them and the rest of the world.So the person who has taken on the task needs to keep in mind that ensuring equality is an important part of their work.It needs to be done with the goal of making sure that at the end of it,every person has an equal chance.
Integrity(正直)is one of the central values because it is integrity itself that reflects the true spirit of social work.Integrity is a feeling which is borne out of moral correctness and the need to keep to one's value systems.When integrity is made a part of the central values,only then can the social work be considered a success.
Gone are the days when this was left to those with little time and few skills which a great success can be made out of in the job market.Social service today requires a great deal of ability,hard work and a drive to do things better,much as is the case with any teamwork.An unskillful person most certainly cannot go,nor is any less than the best performance demanded by those who are in it.
The field of social work is a job that needs much skill nowadays and it requires nothing but the best performers.But all through,one should remember the central value of the existence of social work,which is to help the poor so that they too may become able world citizens.

3.I now work 40 hours a week at a weather company and I love it.Compared to when I became a mom,I don't feel bad about being away from my three kids.When I had my first child,I was a busy manager of a local news station.My husband had a part-time job and cared for her the rest of the time.I was determined to find a way to be home more.Once I became pregnant with my second kid,I quit my job to focus fully on writing.
At first I felt like I was living the dream.I was a work-from-home mom who never had to be away from my children.But working from home can end up being more stressful than working full-time or being a stay-at-home mom,because you're frequently worn out between work,keeping house,and telling sweet faces you don't have time to play.Ever tried writing an article with a baby screaming?It was awful.
I was so stressed that I eventually started taking my kids to a day care center a couple of days a week.The whole reason I worked so hard to be able to write for a living was to be at home with my kids and here I was taking them to a day care center.I thought I was a failure then.
Over the past five years of being a freelancer (自由作家),I've realized a couple of For me,working from home isn't"living the dream."As I wrote six months ago,"I thought I felt bad leaving my daughter for ten hours a day but now she is old enough to ask me to read her a story.Try telling your kid no,20 times a day.If s cruel.You end up feeling worse for having to ignore them than you would if you were gone at a job all day."I also realize not having anywhere to be and not socializing with people weren't good for my mental well-being.
Not only that,but I can now show my kids that Mom is important and has a job at a flashy office building,something they didn't realize when I sat around in yoga pants typing on my computer all day long.
