Bob Dylan could hardly have imagined that he would get this kind of special praise for his long career as a musician and songwriter.
The Nobel Prize for Literature from the Swedish Academy on October 13 is the most recent achievement of Dylan, who has long been among the cultural masters of the modern age. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”, according to the academy.
Although Dylan, 75, is not really seen as a literary(文学的)writer, he has given the world over 50 years of creative output. In his 1985 album Biography, Dylan wrote about the attraction of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect life in a realistic way”, he explained. Folk music, compared with rock music, was a more serious type of thing. The songs were filled with more sadness, more joy, more faith in the supernatural and much deeper feelings.
Dylan’s music and lyrics(歌词)did speak to a generation of people during the 1960s. His lyrics often spoke about great political causes, such as the civil rights movement or the campaign against the war in Vietnam. The 1960s were a time of change, a time when the young were demanding that their voices be heard.
Some people were puzzled that a literary prize had been handed to a singer. But poetry and song have long been found together. Greek poet Homer would have sung the poem The Iliad. In the Middle Ages, wandering minstrels(吟游诗人)performed their poems to music just like Dylan does.
Far from just being a fashionable move, giving the prize to Dylan can be seen as bringing back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s songs have made better will surely welcome the award.
21. Dylan was given the Nobel Prize because __________.

22. From the passage, we can learn that ________. A. Dylan’s songs have great influences on politics. B. Not everyone favors Dylan’s winning the prize. C. It is only a fashionable move to offer Dylan the prize. D. Songs and poems did not come together until recently. 23. What will be the best title for the passage? A. The Popularity of Folk Music B. A Famous Musician, Bob Dylan C. A Surprising Nobel Prize for Literature D. Bob Dylan’s Contributions to Literature

The world’s nights are getting brighter and brighter as light pollution invades darkness almost everywhere. Researchers found that Earth's artificially lit outdoor area grew by 2% a year from 2012 to 2016. So did night time brightness. Light pollution was even worse than that, according to the German-led team, because the light sensor(感应器)cannot recognize some of the LED lighting that is becoming more widespread, specifically blue light.
“Honestly, I had hoped that with LEDs we were improving the situation. But it turns out quite disappointing.” said Kyba, the lead author of the study.
“Asia, Africa and South America, for the most part, saw an increase in artificial night lighting. More and more places are fixing outdoor lighting, due to its low cost and the growth in communities’ wealth,” the scientists said.
The biological effect from the increasing man-made light is obvious, according to the researchers. People’s sleep can be damaged, which in turn can affect their health. The living behavior of birds, fish, insects and bats can be interrupted. And forget about seeing stars or the Milky Way if the pollution continues.
