Why read, and sometimes even write poetry? That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs.

I sing when I feel good. When I sing my favorite songs, I feel even better. Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words, I feel that it was written for me. A good song always makes me feel something. There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day. They help me get through the day.

They are like bright and warm colors in the middle of grays and shades. I like songs about love and friendship. The extraordinary thing is that my feelings are more special when I sing my favorite songs in English.

I also like reading. I used to avoid poetry until an e-friend told me I should recite poems and not look up the meaning of the words. Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms, but the best thing is to just forget about them. In the beginning I felt quite strange. Now I always lock the door. Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling, but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm, and the sounds of the words, it is really a special experience.

I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems. I have different feelings with different poems. When I have had a bad day at school, I read Keats and forget everything. When I am sad I read Wordsworth by the light of a candle. When the poem is finished, I close the book and my sadness is gone.

1.According to the writer, _______.

A. people like poems the same way they enjoy songs

B. poetry is the same form of art as songs

C. people always feel the same while reading poems

D. the meaning of words is the key to appreciating poetry

2.Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?

A. Songs are like different colors in different times.

B. Songs can help people better understand colors.

C. Songs can describe a mixture of different colors.

D. Songs can bring people warmth and comfort.

3.What we can infer from the passage is that______.

A. the writer likes singing songs aloud at any time

B. songs and poems can help get over bad emotions

C. the writer’s native language is English

D. the writer like songs better than poems

4.What can we know about the poems of Keats and Wordsworth through the passage?

A. Keats’ poems are full of bad feelings.

B. Wordsworth’s poems contain much sad description.

C. Both of their poetry can create positive feelings.

D. The themes of their poems are not different at all.

Are you sometimes stressed? Singing is a simple and effective way to reduce stress. It is beneficial mainly in the following three aspects.

Physical Benefits

1. This is especially recommended for the elders and those who have some form of disability in their voice. However, it is important to find a capable instructor to employ good singing techniques so as not to further damage vocal cords (声带) or lungs.

Singing also helps to improve your posture (姿势). Most people think that singing begins and ends with their mouth. 2. Singing practice will get you used to the proper body position of standing and help you form the good habit of standing straight.

Emotional Benefits

Singing helps in reducing your depression and lowering your stress level. When you sing, your body releases chemicals that make you feel happy, easing the tension and helping you to relax. 3.

Social Benefits

The social benefits of singing are huge. 4. So people who suffer from stage fright are advised to sing in front of family and friends before a live performance.

Singing is also very good for improving your communication skills. It is said that singing to babies helps to prepare their brains for language and may lessen the risk of language problems later in life. 5. The time spent in group singing, whether in a choir or at karaoke, creates a deep and lasting bond of friendship.

A. Try to regain your memory by singing.

B. First, it can help build up your confidence greatly.

C. When you sing, you can give your lungs a workout.

D Singing helps you to strengthen your immune system.

E. For adults, singing also enlarges your circle of friends.

F. In fact, the position of each body part affects your voice.

G. So, start to sing your favorite song next time you are feeling upset.

China is a big country, and there is no simple answer to the question “When is the best time to visit China? ” There are two best times to visit China, depending on your preference.

October

Things to do: hike on the Great Wall, photography tour

Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guilin,Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu

The best time to go to China is early autumn (October).

Most of China has warm temperatures, and the summer rains have stopped (apart from around HongKong and Sanya) so it’s pretty dry. The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1 st -7 th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot.

Late Spring (April to May)

Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals

Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie

The second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May, when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (℃), except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains.

Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters’ Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit.

Travel prices are average: cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March.

1.Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou?

A.April 25 th. B.June 17 th. C.October 1 st. D.November 9 th.

2.Which are the best places to visit in both October and late spring?

A.Beijing and Zhangjiajie. B.Shanghai and GuiZhou.

C.Xi’an and Guilin. D.Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou.

3.Why is late spring the best time to visit Huangshan?

A.Because the summer rains haven’t come yet.

B.Because the wet weather adds to its beauty.

C.Because there are several special festivals there.

D.Because the prices are the lowest of the year.
