Sometimes we fall in love with something at o...

Sometimes we fall in love with something at once and sometimes it takes long. The same is true with poems. If we were lucky e1., we open a book and find a poem that attracts us at once. But usually we need to spend a little t2. or make a little effort to truly understand a poem. Today I’d like to talk about reading poems in ways that make the experience better.

Reading a poem repeatedly will deepen your understanding of it. Sometimes a poem that seems b3. on first reading becomes interesting with more reading. A poem that feels meaningless becomes deeper and more meaningful. And sometimes you’re just not in the right mood the first time you read a poem, but l4. it touches your heart.

Keep a d5. at hand when you are reading poems. Poets like to use unusual words. Instead of skipping over (跳过) these words or trying to g6. their meanings, look them up.

Read aloud and listen to the poem. Reading aloud will make the poem’s rhythm clear. Besides, a poet’s reading is very helpful b7. we can understand the poem’s meanings from where the poet places emphasis (强调) or pauses (停顿).

After you finish reading a poem, take a few moments to consider w8.it is saying. Sometimes its meanings are better understood t9. repeated reading. Other times they need our careful and deep thought on a poem.

It is h10. to say whether there’s a right or wrong way to read poems, but reading practices will enrich your experience, increase your enjoyment, and deepen your understanding of any poem.

One day, a patient with serious disease was brought to the hospital ，but had to be transferred (转移) to another hospital al once for an operation (手术).

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Most of us don’t think about food until we start feeling hungry, but eating is important in life. To talk about food and eating is to talk about one of the most common subjects we know. Eating is just like breathing or sleeping every day.1.

However, what, where, when, how, and with whom we eat say a great deal about who we are. Do you use chopsticks? Do you hold the knife backward? Do you chew with your mouth open?

2. They are messages even when we are not trying to say anything. Food and the ways we eat it, like clothes and the way we wear them, tell who and what we are.

3.　 We usually have strong feelings about our childhood foods. Foods we learn to like in our early years probably have a special meaning for us forever because they are connected to people and things we love. Mom’s cheese or the way Dad cuts the bread crusts just right bringing up feelings of love and comfort.

People use food and eating to mark the seasons and the important moments in life (such as growing up and getting married).4.Sometimes people even explain why they eat certain things on certain days. Americans do that sort of explaining at Thanksgiving. They eat Turkey, com, and Indian pudding because their ancestors ate them at the first Thanksgiving. Those foods mean something to Americans.

As you can see, food and eating mark people’s shared experiences, but they can also mark the differences.5.

A.In that sense, we truly are what we eat.

B.It’s so ordinary that it doesn’t receive much notice.

C.People will eat different foods for different holidays.

D.Your health will be decided by what you eat.

E.We learn our eating habits very early in life.

F.The food we eat helps us grow in different ways.

G.All these eating habits say something about you.

When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our uncle. He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.

One day, we left early and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples, " he explained.

Sure, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then,our uncle put stones in our bags.We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.

We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was half-empty.

"Why did you give us so many stones? " we asked. "I didn't. You did, " he said, waiting for a while before continuing. "You did not know it, but made you go through a little attitude test today."

"What do you mean an 'attitude test'?" we wanted to know.

"It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever　 you complained about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.

We did. They were full. "I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things."

This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in life—the power of attitude.

A lot of earthquakes happen in the world every year. Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists tell us the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates(板块). The plates move very slowly. Sometimes they stop and don’t move for a long time. When some of the earth’s plates move suddenly, an earthquake happens.

Many earthquakes happen under the sea. Sometimes they happen near mountains. In fact, earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even break open. Houses fall. People are killed or hurt. Sometimes whole villages or cities are destroyed.

Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show “earthquake belts”. In the areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can make houses strong enough to stand against earthquakes.

In the future, scientists will be able to predict(预言) exactly when and where an earthquake will happen. They can tell us what to do and how to do it as well.

Sometimes, I doubt whether there is any love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money. They don’t act romantically the way couples do in books and on TV. They never say: “I love you.” It’s not their style.

One day, my mother was sewing (缝) a quilt (被子). I sat down beside her.

“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.

“What?” she asked while still working.

“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her.

She didn’t answer right away.

I thought I had hurt her.

“Susan, look at this thread (线),” she said finally. “Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt strong. If life was a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere, but it’s still important.”

The next spring, my father suddenly got very sick. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

After they got back, she helped my father walk slowly down the road every day. My father had never been so fragile (脆弱的).

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.

“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said. “I just like walking with your mom.”
