　　It cam as something of a surprise when Diana， Princess of Wales， made a trip to Angola in 1997， to support the Red Cross campaign for a total ban on anti－personnel landmines (地雷)．Within hours of arriving in Angola， television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims (受害者) injured in accidents caused by landmines．“I knew the huge numbers，” she said．“But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me ； like when I met Sandra， a 13－year－old girl who had lost her leg， and people like her．” The Princess concluded with a simple message：“We must stop landmines”．And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message．

　　But， back in London， her views wee not shared by some members of the British government， which refused to support a ban on these weapons．Angry politicians started an attack on the Princess in the press ，They described her as “very ill－informed”．The Princess responded by brushing aside the eroticisms：“This is a prevention we do not need．All I’m trying to do is to help．” Opposition parties， the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess．To make matters worse for the government， it soon appeared that the Princess trip bad been approved by the Foreign Office， and that she was in fact very well－informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding laundries．the result was a sever blow on the government．

　　To try and limit the damage， the Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkidnd， said that the Princess’ views on landmines were not very different from the government’s policy， and that it was “working towards” a worldwide ban．The defence secretary， Michael Portillo declared the matter was “a misunderstanding”．For the Princess， the trip to this war－torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world hw much destruction and suffering landmines can cause．She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems．

Every weekday morning I take the 8：30 bus to go to my job． I know by sight several people who also ride that bus． Some of the girls work as maids． They get off at each stop in stop in ones ,twos or threes．

But at one corner something wonderful happens． Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house． He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off． But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!" from head to tail his little body wags his happiness． Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house．

One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus． I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her． Sure enough, he was!

He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute． I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry． Where was she?

The driver closed the back door． The dog raced to the front door． It, too, shut in his face．

Everyone on the bus felt sad． Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!

The driver couldn't stand it ．He opened the door and looked down at the dog． "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice．

A man in a front seat leaned forward． "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called．

The dog wagged his tail as if to say "Thank you ．"He watched the bus as we pulled away． Then he turned to trot home alone．

This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?

The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing – the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.

The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次)　of meaning . Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate(本科)　science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).

Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”

But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this; All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they cam teach better.

3.Finding levels of meaning is .

A. important for graduate students in humanities

B. difficult for graduate students in humanities

C. common for undergraduate students in science

D. easy for undergraduate students in science.

4.What did the science professors learn after the experiment?

A. They should change the way they teach

B. A poem could be explained in clear definitions.

C. A poetry class could be more informative.
