Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. ―Thomas Jefferson As a high school coach, I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I pushed as hard for 1 as they did. A dramatic incident, 2 , following a game in which I was appointed as a referee (裁判), 3 my views on victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle, New York, between New Rochelle and Yonkers High. New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien, Yonkers by Les Beck. The gym was 4 with audience, and the volume of noise made it 5 to hear. The game was well played and 6 contested. Yonkers was 7 by one point as I 8 the clock and discovered there were only 30 seconds left to play. Yonkers, 9 the ball, passed off-shot-missed. New Rochelle recovered-pushed the ball up court - shot. The ball 10 around the rim and off. The fans shouted with disappointment. New Rochelle, the 11 team, recovered the ball, and tapped it in ( 拨进篮框) for what looked like victory. The noise of whistles, screams and shouts was 12 . I took a quick look at the clock and saw that the game was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer (终场哨声) because of the noise. I 13 with the other official, but he could not help me. Still 14 help in this chaos, I approached the timekeeper, a young man of 17 or so. He said,"Mr. Covina, the buzzer 15 as the ball rolled off the rim, 16 the tap-in was made." I was in the unpleasant position of having to tell Coach O'Brien the 17 news."Dan," I said, " Yonkers won the game." His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad. The time ran out before the final basket." Suddenly, Coach O'Brien's face 18 . He said, "That's okay, Joe. You did what you had to do. I'm 19 of you." Turning to me, he said, "Al, I want you to meet my 20 , Joe." The two of them then walked off the court together, shoulder to shoulder.

Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD)for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, “Versed”.
“I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout.
“For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”
Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State University.She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.”
“This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better.”
The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq.The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not.“Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry, ” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
“Versed”, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2, 700 copies.The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

Rae Armantrout’s colleagues think that she _________.
Injuries caused by electric shock are fairly common.When a person has received an electric shock, no one should go near him/her until the current has been turned off.If a shock occurring at work or at home causes someone to lose consciousness(知觉), electrical connection must be broken before anyone tries to give help.You should either turn off the switch at the mains or, if that is not possible, push the person away with a dry piece of wood.
Treatment of shock
Look out for signs of shock.People who have been injured or who may have lost a lot of blood, or those who have had heart attacks, may be in deep shock.The signs to look for are faintness, paleness, a moist(潮湿的), sticky skin, shallow, rapid breathing and a fast but weak heartbeat.Shock can prove fatal, and it is essential to do something to prevent its developing.The best way to treat or prevent shock is to keep the patient lying down, better with the legs higher than the head; if possible, raise the lower part of the body on a rolled-up packet or similar object.Make the patient as comfortable as possible, loosening any tight clothing, and comfort him/her because fright increases the effects of shock.
