I wrote about all these 13 in my essay.One of our neighbours said, "I 14 you'll win the contest,David. You're the only one in town who could write about being the son of an astro?naut. ”I 15 .

People seldom feel neutral (中立的) about poetry. Those who love it some?times give the impression that it is a satisfactory substitute for food* shelter and love. It isn't. Words,no matter how satisfying,are never an equivalent (等價物) of life itself and human experiences. Those who dislike poetry sometimes say,on the other hand,that poetry is only words and good for nothing. That's not true either. It is easy to become prevented by words―in poetry or in life— but when words represent and recreate true human feelings,as they often do in poetry,they can be very important.
Poetry is,in fact,more than just words. It is an experience of words,and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life,their sense of what other people are like,their awareness of themselves,and their range of human feelings. One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas,too,and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind,but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems pro?vide,in fact,a language for feeling,and one of poetry's most insistent merits (優(yōu)點) involves its attempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone,for example,put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about?
Poetry tries,and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like,or means* but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, "Yes,that is just what it is like. I know exactly what that line means but I've never been able to express it so well. ” Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief (憂傷) or joy.
1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means that .
A. few people think that poetry is neutral
B. people always differ in their views about poetry
C. people rarely take an opinion about poetry
D. people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless
2. The author suggests that .
A. poetry tends to make the reader disappointed
B. poetry makes its readers satisfied
C. poetry is more important than words
D. poetry often captures real human feelings
3. According to the author,poetry .
A. is more than just words
B. is the poets' feelings about words
C. is anything but patterns of lines
D. is an experiment on the use of words
4. Poetry tries to express .
A. what love and death mean
B. what people think about themselves
C. what people feel but find it hard to describe
D. how people go through life

Every week in China,millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero,which is a Chinesestyle spelling bee (拼寫大賽) .In this challenge,young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition,the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper,many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (書法) to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately,all over the country,Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smartphones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is cho?sen from a list. The result? It's possible to recognize characters without remembe?ring how to write them.
But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Ministry of Education wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited,students practise calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. "If adults can survive without using handwriting,why bother to teach it now?" we ask the calli?graphy teacher,Shen Bin. "The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradi?tion and culture," she reasons. "Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up”, says the teacher.
5. What can we learn about the Character Hero?
A. It's open to people of all ages and all walks.
B. It's the mostviewed TV programme in China.
C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.
D. It draws great public attention across the country.
6. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?
A. Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often.
B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practise calligraphy.
C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
D. Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology.
7. According to Shen Bin,being able to write characters by hand is .
A. necessary for adults to survive in China
B. a requirement made by the Ministry of Education
C. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
D. an ability to be developed only when you are students
8. Where does this text probably come from?.
A. A news report. B. A science report.
C. An advertisement. D. Children's literature.
