Poetry doesnt matter to most people. One has to wonder if poetry has any place in the 21
st century, when music videos and satellite television offer daunting competition for poems, which demand a good deal of attention and considerate analytic skills, as【M1】______ well as some knowledge of the traditions of poetry. In the 19th century, poets like Scott, Byron, and Longfellow had huge audiences around the world. Their works were best sellers, yet they were cultural heroes as well. But readers had few【M2】______ choices in those days. One imagines, perhaps false, that people【M3】______ actually liked poetry. It provided them with narratives that entertained and inspired. They gave them words to attach to their【M4】______ feelings. They enjoyed folk ballads, too. In the sense, music and【M5】______ poetry joined hands. In the 20th century, something went to amiss. Poetry became【M6】______ "difficult". That is, poets began to reflect the complex of modern【M7】______ culture, its fierce disjunctions. The poems of Ezra Pound, Hilda Doolittle and T.S. Eliot asked a lot of the reader, including a range of cultural references to topics when even in the early 1900s had【M8】______ become little known. To read Pound and Eliot with easy, for【M9】______ instance, one needed some knowledge of Greek and Latin poetry. That kind of learning had been fairly common among educated readers in the past. The same could be said for most readers in the【M10】______ 20th century—or today, when education has become more democratized and the study of the classics has been relegated to a small number of enthusiasts.

What do a 15-year-old high school sophomore named Tanja Vogt and Thomas Paine have in comm
on? The answer is that both inspired major changes in their societies by writing an essay.

In October 1988, Vogt--a student at West Milford High School in New Jersey--read an article in her local newspaper that disturbed her. The article reported that the Board of Education had decided to use polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) trays in the lunchroom because they were less expensive than paper.

Vogt knew from her science class that polystyrene can have harmful effects on the environment. In the first place, it is not biodegradable, meaning that it can' t be broken down by natural biological processes. In addition, some polystyrene products release gases called chlorofluo rocarbons (CFCs氟氯化碳) into the air. Scientific evidence indicates that these CFCs break down the protective ozone layer (臭氧层) of the atmosphere.

Vogt decided to write a paper for her social studies class on the issue of polystyrene. Her teacher, Carl Stehle, read her paper to the class. After reminding students that Thomas Paine had had to persuade many hesitant colonists to support the American Revolution, Stehle challenged his class to do something about the polystyrene problem.

Vogt and her classmates immediately conducted a survey in the high school and middle school. They discovered that a large majority of students said they wanted to switch back to paper goods in the cafeteria. When they presented their findings to the Board of Education, the board' s business administrator did a survey of his own. He found that roughly 80 percent of the students in the two schools would be willing to pay an extra nickel to eat their lunch from paper trays. As a result, the board voted in December to change to paper trays in all the township' s schools as of February 1, 1989.

The author' s purpose in writing this article is to ______.

A.tell the readers the power and influence of an effective essay

B.persuade the readers to do something to protect the environment

C.encourage the readers to challenge the authorities by writing essays

D.teach the readers to put what they learned in the class into practice

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, an
d in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.

Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town's newspaper. The Beldon Post:

FIRE AT SEABREEZE

Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: "Please don't smoke cigarettes in bed." This was Beldon's first hotel fire for five years.

The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one:

ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE

Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, "An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp." We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.

Now what do you think of the rest of the "news"?

Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?

A.Beldon and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer.

B.A fire broke out night in Seabreeze Hotel last summer.

C.It was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapers.

D.Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter.

Changing Trends in Magazine Industry The impact of New York-based Fashion City Magazines
new advertising campaign took owner Charlie Ahn by surprise. Sales figures for this year are three times higher than last years. Last year he decided to discontinue use of return cards which attached to their advertisements in magazines. They had been receiving fewer return cards since three years ago. At that time they obtained many new subscribers each year through return cards. However, those numbers dropped significantly. He changed advertising strategies at the beginning of this year. Through surveys, the marketing department learned that the public would rather call their toll-fee subscription number than complete and mail a return card. Subscribers prefer this method not because of cost savings but because of convenience and it saves time.They find it faster and easier to speak to someone directly over the phone. Ahn said to Jason Moore, our reporter in his office that he plans to hire outside consultants to help him improve his long-range marketing plans. "The consultants are experts in harnessing the power of the Internet to achieve business goals." said Mr. Ahn. He also plans to use e-commerce to give him a competitive edge over the readers. He will make a digital version of his magazine and readers can receive notifications when new issues become available. Customers can have access to web-exclusive feature articles that arent available in the printed edition. The new innovative magazine will show articles with embedded flash movies in addition to pictures.

What is the purpose of the article?

A.To explain why the sales for a magazine increased

B.To encourage the public to read a fashion magazine

C.To announce that a company will open a new publishing company

D.To describe how to establish a consulting firm

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no lo
nger difficult. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent (代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear.

Looking to the FutureWhen a magazine for high-school students asked its readers what life

Looking to the Future

When a magazine for high-school students asked its readers what life would be like in twenty years, they said: Machines would be run by solar power. Buildings would rotate sothey could follow the sun to take maximum advantage of its light and heat.Walls would“radiate (发射电磁波,辐射) light” and “change color with the push of a button.” Food would be replaced by pills.School would be taught “by electrical impulse while we sleep.”Cars would have radar.Does this sound like the year 2000? Actually, (1)and the question was, “what will life be like in 1978”

The future is much too important to simply guess about, the way the high school

students did, so experts are regularly asked to predict accurately.By carefully studying the present, skilled businessmen, scientists, and politicians are supposedly able to figure out in advance what will happen.But can they? One expert on cities wrote:(2), but would have space for farms and fields.People would travel to work in “airbuses”, large all-weather helicopters carrying up to 200 passengers.When a person left the airbus station he could drive a coin-operated car equipped with radar.The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents “almost unheard of”.Does that sound familiar? If the experthad been accurate it would, because he was writing in 1957.His subject was “The city of 1982”.

One forecaster knew that predictions about the future would always be subject to significant errors.In 1957, H.J.Rand of the Rand Corporation was asked about the year 2000, “Only one,thing is certain”, he answered.“Children born today (5) ”

A.the stock market had its worst losses ever

B.will have reached the age of 43

C.the article was written in 1958

D.Cities of the future would not be crowded

E.the prediction of the future is generally accurate
