Why do we read poetry? First obvious one: because we enjoy it. The only other reason is for academic purposes, and that's not why this is here.
Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost, and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is. So in that way poetry calms our anxiety.
There are many different kinds of poems. They are not all calming. Some poems make me anxious, angry, scared, and sad, which is why I value them. As a reader, I want a full meal, not just dessert. I want the sweet and the bitter. Often, I read poetry when I'm already relaxed. In fact, I read more when I'm not stressed out.
Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry, as far as I can tell. Metrical(格律的) poems are about setting up rules and then bending them. Usually, this is done by setting up a rhythm and then violating it or almost violating it. And then returning to it again. This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries.
Poetry plays with language and often slams words together in surprising ways, which is thrilling the way food can be when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do.
Many poems are dense. Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines. This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over always finding new things in it.
And, of course, there's the subject matter. It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay. Not all poems interest me in this way, but then not all stories and essays do, either.
1.What kind of poems does the author probably enjoy reading?
A. Academic poems. B. Valuable poems.
C. Poems that calm readers down. D. Poems that arouse feelings.
2.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Setting up a rhythm. B. Poetry. C. Violating rules. D. Rhythm.
3.Why does poetry appeal to the author'?
A. It plays with words. B. It sounds surprising.
C. It is rich in meaning. D. It is filled with new ideas.
4.What can we infer from the text?
A. The author doesn't like all the essays. B. Reading poems requires patience.
C. The subject counts a lot to the author. D. Writing poems is similar to cooking.

An obvious reason for learning a new language is to be able to communicate with the people who speak it.1. People in every country prefer it when tourists make an effort to speak the local language, even if all you can say in it is “hello” and “please”.
Cultural understanding
Speaking a new language helps you to get to know another people and culture, as language and culture go hand in hand.2. It shows new ways of looking at the world. In addition, when you speak another language, you can enjoy literature, film, and music in the original language. It is extremely difficult for a translation to be a perfect replica (复制品) of the original. 3..
Business and careers
4. Schools and employers tend to prefer candidates who speak one or more foreign languages. Even though English is widely spoken in much of the world, the fact is that the global economy depends on communication. When dealing with France, for example, someone who speaks French will have an obvious advantage over someone who doesn’t.
Language improvement
Learning another language can help you to understand your own. Many languages have contributed to the development of English.5. Also, in learning how another language differs from your own, you will increase your understanding of your own language. For many people, language is innate (与生俱来的) — we know how to say something, but we don’t necessarily know why we say it that way. Learning another language can change that.
A.Language is helpful in making foreign friends.
B.The best way is to read what the author actually wrote.
C.Learning another language opens one’s mind to new ideas.
D.Your trip will be comfortable if you speak the local language.
E.Speaking more than one language will increase your market ability.

A.The reason why few mummies are left today.
B.The three most famous Egyptian mummies.
C.Mummy and mummification.
D.A safe passage to the afterlife
AB. The reason why Egyptians made and gave up making mummies.
AC. Different ways to make mummies.
When you think of a mummy what comes to mind? Most of us usually picture an Egyptian mummy wrapped in bandages and buried deep inside a pyramid. While the Egyptian ones are the most famous, mummies have been found in many places throughout the world, from Greenland to China to the Andes Mountains of South America.
__1. ____
A mummy is the body of a person that has been preserved after death. Normally when we die, bacteria and other germs eat away at the soft tissues (such as skin and muscles) leaving only the bones behind. Since bacteria need water in order to grow, mummification usually happens if the body dries out quickly after death. The body may then be so well preserved that we can even tell how the dead person may have looked in life.
__2. ____
Mummies are made naturally or by embalming(以香油涂尸防腐), which is any process that people use to help preserve a dead body. Mummies can be dried out by extreme cold, by the sun, by smoke, or using chemicals such as natron(氧化钠). Some bodies become mummies because there were favorable natural conditions when they died. Others were preserved and buried with great care.
__3. ____
The ancient Egyptians believed that mummifying a person's body after death was essential to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife. Over time almost all Egyptians who could afford to became mummies when they died -- a total of about 70 million mummies in 3,000 years. By the 4th century AD, many Egyptians had become Christians and no longer believed that mummification was necessary for life after death. Eventually, the Egyptians gave up the art and science of making mummies.
__4. ____
So where did all the mummies go? Sadly, most were grabbed in ancient times by robbers looking for treasures wrapped up in the bandages. Countless mummies were also destroyed during the Middle Ages, when they were ground into powders to make supposedly magical pills. Later on, modern treasure hunters rushed into their tombs carelessly looking for artifacts and souvenirs. Even industry aided the destruction by using mummies' bandages to make paper or burning their bodies for fuel.
__5. ____
The best preserved mummies are those of the pharoahs and their relatives. These mummies tended to be more carefully embalmed and protected from harm. The mummies that have survived allow us to look back into the past and know something of the ancient Egyptians and their time. Three of the most famous Egyptians mummies are Tutankhamen, Seti I and Rameses II (Ramses the Great).

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is also the most neglect (忽视). Common reasons for not eating breakfast include having no time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike and dieting.
Breakfast simply means “break the fast’’. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.
A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie(卡路里)needs for the day. On average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t appeal (吸引) to you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.
If you still aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious (有营养的) mid-morning snack (小吃) later when you are hungry.
So, you say you are on a diet. Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That is because your body is working correctly. Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in reality you are probably not.
Not eating breakfast can also cause you overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slow state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently (有效). If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become hungry and stuff (填饱) yourself as soon as you begin to eat.
Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right food is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals.
1. What is the meaning of the word “fast” in the phrase “break the fast”?
A.movement | B.going without food |
C.quickness | D.certain kind of food |
2.If you don’t want to have breakfast in the morning, according to the writer’s suggestion, you should________.
A.see a doctor to have an examination |
B.have a little supper |
C.go to a restaurant to enjoy a good meal |
D.have a good supper |
3.Eating breakfast, in fact, makes your body_________.
A.work out of order | B.produce too much energy |
C.work well | D.feel hungry quicker |
4.Not eating breakfast will_________.
A.save a lot of money | B.do harm to your health |
C.do good to your health | D.help you keep in shape |
