Pulitzer was born in Mako, Hungary. At 17, Pulitzer attempted to join the Austrian army, but was turned down due to age, bad health and poor eyesight. Disappointed but still with hope, he traveled first to Paris and then to London, hoping to join the army there. And he was rejected for the same reasons. Finally, he moved to the United States in 1864 and served in the Lincoln Army when he was just 18 until the end of the American Civil War. After the war he settled in St. Louis, Missouri, where in 1868 he started working as a reporter for a German-language daily newspaper, the Westliche Post. He joined the Republican Party and was elected to the Missouri State Assembly in 1869.
In 1872. Pulitzer bought the Westliche Post for $3, 000. Then, in 1879, he bought the St. Louis Dispatch for $2, 700 and merged (合并) the two papers as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which remained St. Louis’ daily newspaper. He bought the New York World in 1883, which turned out to be a successful decision, and which made Pulitzer wealthy. In 1885, he was elected to the US House of Representatives, but resigned after a few months’ service. In 1895 the New York World introduced the first newspaper comic printed with colour. Under Pulitzer’s leadership circulation (发行量) grew from 15, 000 to 600, 000, making it the largest newspaper in the country. But unfortunately from 1890, Pulitzer’s already failing health worsened rapidly and he withdrew from direct management of the newspaper, and simply gave some instructions from his vacation houses in Maine or in New York. At the age of forty, he was struck blind, but he still continued to run his press empire for twenty-two more years.
In 1892, Pulitzer offered Columbia University’s president money to set up the world’s first school of journalism. But the university turned down the offer. In 1902, Columbia’s new president willingly accepted the plan for a school and prizes, but it would not be until after Pulitzer’s death that this dream would come true. Pulitzer left the university $2 million in his will, which led to the creation in 1912 of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. And up till now, Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism still remains one of the most famous in the world.
Joseph Pulitzer died aboard his sailing boat in 1911. He was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York. In 1917, the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded, as Pulitzer wished to.
In 1989, in honor of his great achievements and contributions, Pulitzer was included in the St. Louis Walk of Fame.

举一反三
People will feel excited when it comes to holidays. But holidays can also be a very lonely time, particularly for those who spend the holidays alone. Here are some tips to keep yourself balanced and productive over the holidays.
Plan your time in advance
You’ll have several days to fill up, so plan ahead. Find books and movies you have always wanted to read and watch, and make a list of events that you’d like to attend. 小题1:
Make a list of things you have always wanted to do but never had the time for. See this time alone as a gift: a stretch of time where you have total control to do whatever you want. Use it wisely.
Find Support
小题2: Note that scheduling time to talk with friends and loved ones makes contact more likely to happen. Introverts who tend to avoid social contracts get support from the inside, so journaling and taking some time for personal reflection is a good idea.
Don’t wallow(沉溺)
Holidays alone tend to be times when beating yourself up and getting depressed are more likely to happen. 小题3: Be grateful some people who are enduring family dinners wish they were in your place. Do something fun, instead!
Volunteer
Food banks, shelters and crisis centers are short-staffed during holidays when the demand is greatest. Helping out those in need will make you feel good, and will brighten other people’s holidays in turn.
小题4:
Do something kind. It might be feeding birds or squirrels in the park or buying sandwich for a homeless person. It will make you feel lighter and more grateful for what you have.
Have faith
If you are religious, find a church service to attend, or seek out something you regard as spiritual such as meditation, yoga, exercise, a walk in the park, or being around animals. Use this as an opportunity to fill your spiritual juice.
小题5:
A.Random Act of kindness |
B.Accept Invitations |
C.Extroverts can reach out to others during the holidays. |
D.Avoid solo holiday depression by considering it as an opportunity to grow. |
F. Holiday is a nice thing for all the people whether you are successful of not.
G. Without a plan, you might find yourself being alone and bored, which will lower your spirits.
A.as much as | B.as | C.than | D.rather than |
---Oh, yes, he has just finished his business tour of Chicago. He has a lot of work to ___.
A.take up | B.make up | C.come up | D.carry out |
Self-esteem(自尊) is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves. Having a healthy self-esteem can protect us through difficult times and help us remain focused on what is important to us. Research shows that children with high self-esteem grow up to be more confident adults. Self-esteem building should start from young. 小题1:
Praise actions
Young children need feedback. It’s how they measure their actions and it plays a role in learning from experience. Provide specific praise about actual actions performed and efforts made in the process. 小题2: .
Identify strengths
Preschoolers are always watching each other. On the bright side, they learn new things from each other. On the other side, they can become self-critical when they see a peer accomplishing something they still struggle to do. 小题3: Tell your children to focus on their strengths when they start to draw comparisons.
Foster(培养) a sense of belonging
Young children may not understand how peer pressure (同龄人的压力) works, but they feel it when they’re being excluded(排除). Show your children that they are important by listening to and responding to their needs and ideas. As much as possible, save grown-up conversations for later so that you can have family conversations. 小题4:
小题5:
As much as they need us, they also need to work on taking small steps towards independence. When they know they can do things, they feel more confident. Teach problem-solving skills. Step aside and let them work on challenges before jumping in to help. Help by asking, “ How can we do this in a different way? Let’s come up with some ideas together.” Getting kids involved in problem-solving teaches them how to deal with challenges in the future.
Building and maintaining healthy self-esteem can be a lifelong process, but the sooner you start, the more confident your children will become.
A.Encourage Independence |
B.Spend quality time with children |
C.Try to address their concerns as they arise, no matter how minor. |
D.If praise is only attached to success, kids will focus on “ winning”. |
F. Below are some tips to help you promote your children’s self-esteem.
G. Each parent has the responsibility to help children to become confident.
A.make out | B.give out | C.set out | D.test out |
