When a thought has found words

Poetry (诗歌)is the forgotten child of literature. Few people read it for pleasure. In Western high schools, poetry is s 1.taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today's students.

In China, however, poetry is s2. an important part of the curriculum (课程). Recently, the Ministry of Education has i3.the number of old Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite, from 14 to 72. Why is it important to learn poems?

First of all, poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese c4.. It is a path to understanding your history and your society. It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that are c5. to everyone but that we may be unable to express—the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example. Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger, and a good poem can put those feelings into w6.and bring us self-understanding.

Poems can also express beauty. In a few short 17. even something common can become beautiful. Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes/ on silent haunches (弓腰)/ and then moves on. Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and like a cat, and Sandberg c8. that feeling and image (形象),and makes it beautiful.

Of course, to really enjoy poetry, it has to be read aloud. After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most a9.poetry, like Homer's Epics (《荷马史诗》)and China's Book of Songs (《诗经》),was spoken for hundreds of years before it was w10.. The American poet Robert Frost said, "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."

— Have you heard of the old Chinese saying, "Men die for ________ (richness, having plenty of money), birds die for food"?

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there's too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.

Preview - if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.

Here's how to preview.

◆ Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

◆ Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

Previewing doesn't give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don't really want- or need- to read.

Skim- if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.

Here's how to skim.

◆ Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

◆ Pick up only a few key words in each line.

Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we'll get a similar idea of what it's all about.

1.What does the underlined word "preview" mean in English?

A.Read carefully and thoroughly B.Read silently

C.Read aloud D.Read fast and skim for the general idea

2.What should we NOT do when we read sports news in a daily paper according to the passage?

A.Read the last two paragraphs carefully

B.Get our eyes to move fast.

C.Sweep our eyes across each line.

D.Pick up only a few key words in each line.

3.Which of the following is WRONG?

A.Skim means reading quickly. It's a good way to read.

B.There are ways for you to read more in less time.

C.By previewing you can get all the details of the passage.

D.People can spend less time doing more reading.

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A.How to Read Faster. B.What to Read.

C.When to Read. D.Why We Should Read.
