Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it. I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”， and “a heightening (提升) of life”．It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”， and it “can save your life”．It also deserves (值得) a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies. I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential (基本的) nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it. 1．To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ________. A．discuss it with others B．analyze it by oneself C．copy it down in a notebook D．practise reading it aloud 2．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry? A．Extending your life. B．Saving your life. C．Criticizing life. D．Heightening life. 3．According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ________. A．to understand life B．to enjoy poetry C．to become teachers D．to become poets 4．What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? A．More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry. B．Poetry of more important than any other subject. C．One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry. D．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses. 5．The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by ________. A．“build a booth” B．“provide equipment” C．“l(fā)eave a certain amount of time” D．“set aside enough space” B Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, Versed. “Im delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win，” said Armantrout. “For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.” Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelors degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her masters in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think. In March, she won the National Book Critics Award for Versed. “This book has gotten more attention，” Armantrout said, “but I dont feel as if its better.” The first half of Versed focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006. Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not.“Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry，” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD. Versed, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May. 6．According to Rae Armantrout, ________.

We arrived at a sandy beach with a well view of the sea and mountains. We set up our tents on the sandy beach, when night fell we started a fire to give us light and kept us warm. All my classmates sat around them, talking, singing and laughing. Several hours late, Robert and I went back to the tent to have the chat. We stayed up all night. We found that we two had a lot in common. For example, we all like the same singers and have great enthusiasm for physics. The fire and stars see our happiness.
