Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost, and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is. So in that way poetry calms our anxiety.

There are many different kinds of poems. They are not all calming. Some poems make me anxious, angry, scared, and sad, which is why I value them. As a reader, I want a full meal, not just dessert. I want the sweet and the bitter. Often, I read poetry when I'm already relaxed. In fact, I read more when I'm not stressed out.

Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry, as far as I can tell. Metrical(格律的) poems are about setting up rules and then bending them. Usually, this is done by setting up a rhythm and then violating it or almost violating it. And then returning to it again. This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries.

Poetry plays with language and often slams words together in surprising ways, which is thrilling the way food can be when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do.

Many poems are dense. Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines. This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over always finding new things in it.

And, of course, there's the subject matter. It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay. Not all poems interest me in this way, but then not all stories and essays do, either.

【1】What kind of poems does the author probably enjoy reading?

A. Academic poems. B. Valuable poems.

C. Poems that calm readers down. D. Poems that arouse feelings.

【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Setting up a rhythm. B. Poetry. C. Violating rules. D. Rhythm.

【3】Why does poetry appeal to the author'?

A. It plays with words. B. It sounds surprising.

C. It is rich in meaning. D. It is filled with new ideas.

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A. The author doesn't like all the essays. B. Reading poems requires patience.

C. The subject counts a lot to the author. D. Writing poems is similar to cooking.

Today the idiom 【9】(relate) to the story is used to describe a person who stick 【10】 strict rules without considering a changing environment.

Every person wants to achieve the goals set at the beginning of a new school year. The following are some ways to help you achieve your goals.
When it comes to choosing your goal, ensure that it states precisely what it is that you want to achieve. Don't generalize. Your goal should involve both what you want to achieve and the effort that you will put in to achieve it.
Having a copy of your goal makes it real. You can write you goal in a journal you'll be keeping all year, or you can write it on a poster and stick it on your desk so that you can look at it each day. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you're training your brain to accept the effort needed to make the goal happen.
Try various methods. One may not work while another may be just right for you.Some people learn best through writing, some through listening and reading, and some through talking it through. Once you realize which way works for you, you can work better and achieve your goal easily.
Think positive.Negative thoughts are unhelpful and they became roadblocks. Stop telling yourself you can't and start telling yourself you can, and talk about you are doing rather than hoping you can do something. Always believe that you're capable, even if you have difficulty along the way.
Reward yourself along the way.Occasionally, when you've achieved certain “milestones” in your goal plan, take a break and reward yourself. Watch a movie, visit a friend who lives across town, go to the ice cream shop with your friends or buy yourself something new.
A. Write down your goal.
B. Choose specific and realistic gals
C. Be aware of the way you learn best
D. Remember that everyone makes mistakes
E. Set aside some time each week for exercise
F. All study and no reward can break your spirit
G. If you're not in the right state of mind, you won't be able to succeed.
