life? Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind? Probably the main reason is that some
aspect of that poem resonates (引起共鸣) with you. In the same way, you too as a school leader can
touch the hearts of your staff and students.
Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. The
power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the
human heart and soul.
As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity (人性)
from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement,
"With this key mankind unlocked his heart."
School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and their
staff members. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as metaphors, repetitions and
imagery can be used o take advantage of the power of language to transform communication, create
meaning and a culture of care and attention.
Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required to
inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry-or even of some techniques of poetry-in
school leadership not only helps to improve communication, but also serves to meet the human need for
inspiration.

Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu---but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.
Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a running nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.
Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different groups of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms(症状) described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.
Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly(年长的), who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection(预防针) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely（明显地）worth it.
If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues(手巾纸) carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze! You don’t want to see the small drops of liquids blown(喷) out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting(令人作呕), eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!
