Phyllis Wheatley is regarded as
America's first black poet. She was born in Senegal, Africa, about 1753 and
brought to America aboard a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and
Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auction in Boston in
1761 to be a personal servant of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other
slaves, and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of
the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley's twin
15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from
better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best
educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it
was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis's education. Phyllis soon
displayed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek
and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually, Mrs. Wheatley
decided Phyllis should become a Christian. At the age of
thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she
wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770.
It became common practice in Boston to have "Mrs. Wheatley's Phyllis" read
poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the
country because of poor health, as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three
children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they
heard she was a Negro they weren't interested. Then in 1773
Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. It was
thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems
were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It
was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem
extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He
responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters.
After both of her benefactors died in 1777, and Mary died in 1778, Phyllis was
freed as a slave. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three
children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in
poverty at the age of thirty.
单选题An Underwater Hotel 水下旅馆 In a bay near Almeria in Southern Spain will be built the world's first underwater residence for tourists. The hotel will be 40 feet down in the Mediterranean. As all the world opened to tour operators, there was still a frontier behind which lay three quarters of the globe's surface, the sea; in whose cool depths light fades; no winds blow; there are no stars. There even the most bored travelers could recapture their sense of romance, terror or beauty. For a submerged hotel is such a beautiful idea. The hotel will cost? 170,000 and will be able to accommodate up to ten people a night. Up until now only scientists and professional divers have lived under the sea, but soon, for the first time, the public will be able to go down into the darkness. They will have to swim down in diving suits, but at 40 feet there would be no problem about decompression. Design of the hotel was crucial. Most of the underwater structures used before had been in the shape of a diving bell or submarine. Professional divers could cope with such things but ordinary people would run the risk of violent claustrophobiA.Then an Austrian architect had the idea of making three interconnecting circular structures, 18 feet in diameter, and looking much like flying saucers. They would be cast in concrete and launched from the shore. Towed into position they would then be sunk. A foundation of cast concrete would already be in place on the sea beD.Pylons would attach the structures to this. Once in position the structures would be pumped dry. The pylons, made to withstand an uplift pressure of 350 tons, would then take the strain. Cables linking the underwater structures to the hotel on shore would connect it with electricity, fresh water, television, and an air pump, and also dispose of sewage. Entry would be from underneath, up a ladder; because of the pressure inside there would be no need of airlocks or doors. The first structure would include a changing room and a shower area, where the divers would get out of their gear. There would also be a kitchen and a lavatory. The second structure would contain a dining room/lecture theater, and sleeping accommodation for eight people. The third structure would contain two suites. A steward would come down with the ten customers, to cook and look after them. Television monitors would relay all that went on to the shore so that discussions on the sea bed could be transmitted to all the world. Around the hotel there are plans to build a strange secret garden, over 100 yards square, of plastic shapes, curves, circles, hollows. This would have a dual function. First, to attract fish who would see it as a shelter and hiding place; secondly, to allow guests looking out of the reinforced windows to see a teeming underwater life. So far at the site a diving tower 33 feet deep has been installed for diving instruction. An aquarium has been built, and zoologists from Vienna University are in regular attendance to supervise its stocking. There are storage cupboards full of the plastic shapes for the underwater garden and there is a model of the hotel. All that is needed now is permission from the Spanish Government to start building.
