In their determination to read Dickinson's life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life -- her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce's 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850's transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self sovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stem patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of "true womanhood."
What's the author's main purpose in the passage？
A．To interpret Emily Dickinson's eccentric behavior
B．To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson
C．To discuss Emily Dickinson's failed love affair
D．To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinson's time

There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.

In The Great Brain Race Ben Wildavsky points to another mighty agent o{ globalization: universities. These were some of the world's first "global" institutions. In the Middle Ages great universities such as Paris and Bologna attracted "wandering scholars" from across Europe. In the 19th century Germany's research universities attracted scholars from across the world. In the early 20th century philanthropists such as Cecil Rhodes and William Harkness established scholarships to foster deeper links between countries. By the 1960s globe-trotting professors were so commonplace that they bad become the butt of jokes. (What is the difference between God and professor so and so？ God is everywhere. Professor so and so is everywhere but here. )
Universities are obsessed by the global marketplace for students and professors. They are trying to attract as many students from abroad as possible (not least because foreign students usually pay full fees). Nearly 3 million students now spend some time studying in foreign countries, a number that has risen steeply in recent years. Universities are also setting up overseas. New York University has opened a branch in Abu Dhabi. Six American universities have created a higher-education supermarket in Qatar. Almost every university worth its name has formed an alliance with a leading Chinese institution.
But globalization is going deeper than just the competition for talent: a growing number of countries are trying to create an elite group of "global universities" that are capable of competing with the best American institutions. China and India are focusing resources on a small group. The French and German governments are doing hattie with academic egalitarians in an attempt to create European Ivy Leagues. Behind all this is the idea that world-class universities can make a disproportionate contribution to economic growth.
This is a fascinating story. But Mr. Wildavsky, a former education reporter who now works for both the Kauffman Foundation and the Brookings Institution, is too earnest a writer to make the best of it. He wastes too much ink summarising research papers and quoting "experts" uttering banalities. And he fails to point out the humour of sabbatical man jet-setting hither and thither to discuss such staples of modern academic life as poverty and inequality. Mr. Wildavsky should spend less time with his fellow think-tankers (who are mesmerised by the idea of a global knowledge economy) and more talking to students, who experience the disadvantages as well as the advantages of the new cult of globalization at first hand.

A．have links with more than one university
B．are busy with teaching in a university
C．commit themselves to educating the talents
D．like to do research on global universities
