The times are changing.On Thursday October 13th，singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature，marking the first time the highly-eyed-on literary award has gone to someone who is mainly seen as a musician，and giving rise to heated discussions.

The 75-year-old won the prize “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”，the Swedish Academy said.

“For 54 years he has been at it，reinventing himself，” said Sara Danius，the academy’s permanent secretary.“Bob Dylan writes poetry for the ear.But it’s perfectly fine to read his works as poetry.”

And while many Dylan’s fans have found great delight at the news，others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee，saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year.

New York Times Book Review editor Pamela Paul said it was good news but pointed out how many “deserving” novelists there are.

Director Martin Scorsese put out a statement saying he was “overjoyed” that Dylan was awarded the prize.

“Dylan’s poetry，his musical genius，has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world，” Scorsese said.“His work has influenced and shaped culture，and he has never stopped exploring and growing as an artist.The Nobel Committee has given Dylan a form of recognition that fits his role in our culture—in world culture.”

Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his “great influence on popular music and American culture”．He’s the first American to win the literary Nobel since Toni Morrison in 1993. 语篇解读 作为一名歌手，鲍勃·迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖的消息让很多人大感意外，从而引发热议。 1．Why does Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize cause heated discussions?

D．He is 75 years old. 答案 B

解析 词义猜测题。第四段开头的“And while many Dylan’s fans have found great delight at the news”中while表示“尽管”，引导让步状语从句，所以后面的“others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee”中的are cross with与found great delight意思应该相反。再根据最后的“saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year”可判断，are cross with应表示“对……生气”。故选C项。 3．What can we know about Dylan according to Martin Scorsese?

There’s a secret spot in Ireland.And the locals don’t want you to know it exists.

I found it by chance.The Irish are world-famous for being a friendly nation and yet you hesitate as you climb to the top of a hill and see a fisherman storing his tools，the dog good-naturedly circling his feet.The camera comes out.The scene is so in line with the postcard Ireland you remember seeing pinned to the wall.Walking closer you drop the camera until you’re close enough to simply watch and listen.The water gently touches his boat.His tools hit the dock(码头)，making ringing noises.

The dog has discovered you sitting so quietly on the hill and although he’s been playing in the water he knows no sense of politeness and runs toward you—only a slight delay in his step as his owner shouts out a command.It slows his progress toward you，but only slightly.That dog is about to give you the wettest and hairiest hug you’ve had in weeks.

The dog has opened the door to conversation now and as the dog leads you to the fisherman you glance toward the sound of an approaching car，his wife，here to pick him up and transport his catch back into town.The immediate polite conversations unfold—I’m an obvious American and don’t deny it，they’re curious as to why such a healthy and pretty young lady such as myself is wandering the cold hill in such a remote area of Ireland.“Single are ya？Well why in the world are ya traveling by yourself，you’ll never meet a man that way？” demands the wife.She’s a tough customer and can’t understand my answer “because I enjoy it”， evidenced by her long-suffering sigh and a muttering(喃喃自语) about “young people”．

There’s a secret spot in Ireland，and I’m not going to tell you where it is.I’m not going to tell where it is because I know there’re other Irish towns out there just like it—all laced with joy of simplicity.

Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle.Group exercise is challenging，yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However，studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups，it’s not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health.It’s an opportunity to be social，release endorphins(内啡肽)，and improve your strength.Additionally，group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard.The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
