20、s Irish writer,was b o m in Dublin on June 13,1865.Hischildhood lacked the harmony（和 睦）that was typical of a happy family.Later,Yeats shocked hisfamily by saying that he remembered M little of childhood but its pain.In fact,he inherited（继 承）excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and
21、his brother were painters.But he finallysettled on literature,particularly drama（戏 剧）and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements.He set himself the fresh task infounding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments,however,werenot receive
22、d favorably al the beginning.He didnt lose heart,and finally enjoyed success in hispoetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works,Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice.TTie subjectmatter includes love,nature,history,time and aging.Though Yeats generally relied on verytraditional forms,he brough
23、t modem sensibility to them.As his literary life progressed,his poetrygrew finer and richer,which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet,hecontinued writing almost to the end of his life.Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40,he
24、 wouldprobably now be valued as a minor poet,for there is no other example in literary history of a poetwho produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.After Yeatss death in 1939,W.H.Auden wrote,among others,the following lines：Earth,receive an honoured guest：William Yeats is laid to r

28、 people who disagree with them.Those people,say skeptics,spread nothing but bad news about the environment.The eco-guih“brought on by the discouragingnews about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comibrtingworldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by
29、Bjom Lomborg received so much publicity.Thatbook,The Skeptical Environmentalut,declares that it measures the“real state of the worldn as fine.Of course,another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests.Indeed,Mr.Lomborg,s views are similar to those of some industr
30、y-funded organizations,which starthuge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr.Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though hisbeliefs were contrary to most scicntilic opinions.One national newspaper in Canada ran a
