Teen Creative Writing Residency(培训) at Atlantic Center for the Arts
Join other teens for an intensive ten-day writing residency with Master Writers at the world renowned Atlantic Center for the Arts.
The Residency
The Teen Creative Writing Residency is a summer writing residency that offers 9th―12th grade teens writing workshops and mentorship (辅导) by distinguished authors in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. The Teen Creative Writing Residency will be held at Atlantic Center from July 13 through July 26, offering 21 teens from around the country an extraordinary opportunity to expand the power of their individual voices through writing workshops with Master Writers.
Residency Schedule
Teen writers will join three Master Writers-in-Residence, one in each of the following genres (类型) ― poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. The mentorship with the Master Writers-in-Residence will be the focus, but the chance to have conversations with the other Visiting Writers and participating Teen Writers will be valuable.
Classes meet Monday―Friday for two hours of workshops. Teen writers will have the opportunity to focus on one genre, while also exploring the other forms of literature through workshops and conversation.

B
Beavers(河狸) are a very unique species in the world of nature and wildlife——they are architects. Their dams are fine examples of engineering.
A pair of beavers will build a dam, using branches, mud and stones, across a river. The water held back by the dam flows over the bank on either side of the river, flooding the nearby ground and forming a pond. At some point in the pond the beavers then build their home, which is called a lodge. This consists of a cone-shaped(锥状的) pipe of branches and sticks of two to six feet in length held together with mud and stones, the top of which projects above the waterline. It serves as a shelter from the bad weather, a safety from enemies and a base for food supplies to be drawn upon in winter.
From an engineering point of view the lodge could hardly be improved. Not only does it contain a central room just above water level, which is accessible only through underwater tunnels, but it also has “walls”, one or more escape tunnels and an air hole at the top, which controls the temperature inside and gives air-conditioning. It is altogether a clever piece of construction, with all modern conveniences. It is, in fact, better protected against the effects of flooding than many human houses.
Trees are essential to beavers. They eat the bark on the upper branches. But they must first fell the trees, using their four front teeth. With these sharp tools, it takes only a few minutes to cut down a tree.
The engineering skill of beavers is to a large extent a result of their ability to use their front paws as hands. A female will carry her young held under her chin(下巴) with her front paws, walking on her hind legs. A similar method is used by all beavers when transporting stones or mud, although they also carry such materials on their broad flat trails. The fore-paws are also used for digging and for dragging heavier pieces of wood.
4．Which of the following pictures best illustrates the beaver’s lodge?
A. B. C. D.
5．Which of the following sentences is Not the reason why trees are important to beavers? A. They live on the barks on the upper branches of trees. B. They use trees’ branches to build dams. C. They build their lodge with the branches. D. They us branches to transport mud and stones.
6．The underlined word “fell” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. move away
B. cut down
C. cut up
D. move about
7．This text is mainly about ________. A. the beaver’s lodge
B. the beaver’s engineering skills C. the beaver’s dam
D. the beaver’s intelligence
