67. What could be the significance of the publication of Native Guard?
(A) The author wrote the poems to win her praises.
(B) Native Guard is the most important work of Natasha Trethewey.
(C) History is supposed to dig up the truth without discrimination of any form.
(D) History should never be taken seriously because it is not reliable.(4) American poet, Elizabeth Bishop, was born in Massachusetts in 1911. After her father's death and mother's hospitalization, shewas removed from place to place among his father’s wealthy relatives. Of her childhood she noted, “My relationship with myrelatives—I was always sort of a guest.”Miss Bishop attended Vassar where she majored in English although she had originally intended to major in music. “You had toperform in public once a month. Well, this terrified me.” Bishop founded a literary magazine with fellow students Mary McCarthy,Eleanor Clark, and Muriel Rukeyser. It was as a Vassar student that Bishop met Marianne Moore. In 1934 Fanny Borden, the Vassarlibrarian, arranged an introduction for the two women. Influence worked both ways. The Bishop-Moore relationship is one of themost keenly debated literary friendships in the twentieth century. Moore’s role is seen as that of a mentor-mother to Bishop’sstudent-daughter. Bishop learnt to be a writer in the older poet’s shadow and meanwhile she provided her mentor with poeticexamples to follow. Their friendship nourished each other’s ego, providing Moore with the sense that her poems were still being readby a younger generation, and Bishop with the reassurance that she could actually write.Bishop won virtually every poetry prize in the country. She won the Houghton Mifflin Poetry Award in 1946. In 1955, shereceived the Pulitzer Prize. The next was the National Book Award in 1965. The National Book Critics Circle Award came in theyear 1976. In the same year, Miss Bishop became the first woman to win the Neustadt International Prize for Literature.Bishop died in 1979. Of her work, Robert Lowell remarked, “There's a beautiful completeness to all of Bishop's poetry. I don'tthink anyone alive has a better eye than she had: The eye that sees things and the mind behind the eye that remembers.” AmongBishop’s published poems, “One Art” is one of the most famous.One ArtThe art of losing isn't hard to master;so many things seem filled with the intentto be lost that their loss is no disaster.Lose something every day.
