24、to a group of 4 to 8 year- olds: What does love mean? ” The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:“When my grandmother got arthritis （ 關(guān)節(jié)炎）,she couldn t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, ev

25、en when his hands got arthritis too. That s love. Rebecca, age 8“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.Chriss y, age 6“Loves when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip （小 口 ） before giving it to him, to

26、make sure the taste is OK. Danny, age 7 ” 一“Love is when you tell a guy youike his shirt, then he wears it every day. Noelle, age 7“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don t see anyone else kissing me to sleep atnight. Cl are, age 6“Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says

27、 he is handsomer than David Beckham. Chris, age 7Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four-year-old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently

28、lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman s yard, climbed onto his lap （月黍蓋）,and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,Nothing, I just helped him cry.”The children s answers are mainly based on.A. thei

29、r own storiesB. their family storiesC. what happened around themD. how they viewed people around themHow many childrens answers describe a happy marriage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.According to Leo Buscaglia, the four-year-old boy.A. cheered his neighbor up in a unique waygave love a special de

30、finitioncomforted his neighbor in the most caring wayhad a good understanding of his neighbor s sadnessWhat is the purpose of writing the text?A. To report a survey.B. To explain the meaning of love.C. To report a contest.D. To show childrens loveliness.BNo poem should ever be discussed or analyzed,

31、 until it has been read aloud by someone, teacheror student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for re

32、ading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling interpretation（ 解釋）of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not re

33、place the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting（背誦）it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important thananalyzing it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry i

34、s a criticism of life, and a heightening （提升）of life. It is an approach to the truth of feeling, and it can save your life. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those

35、who dont like it should not beforced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those, who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thingsabout its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.According t

36、o the text, to have a better understanding of a poem, the best way is.A. to hear it read outto analyze it by oneselfto discuss it with others kD. to practise reading it aloudThe best explanation for the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 should be.students should read the poem at the end of poem cla

37、sswe should end the analyzing of the poem by reading it aloudsometimes the sound of the poem represents the meaning of itwe feel the original meaning of the author by hearing the poem read loud after discussionWhat does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?The teaching of poetry should hav

38、e been much more stressed.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.The phrase “ make room “ in the last paragraph could be best replac

Astronauts. They have to. Their bodie

55、s are cut off from the outside world that reminds us what time it is. But actually, it s even worse than that. An astronaut reported in his diary that he was likely to make mistakes on days following an unusually late bedtime.So NASA started doing some serious research. They quickly realized that we

56、 Ve a slave to the outside world. Without light and darkness, we Ye unable to regulate （管理）sleep times.Because of modern technology, we re all living more like astronauts now. Light is no longer a function of the sun, but of always-on indoor lights, TV and computer screens. Temperature no longer fol

57、lows a cycle of cooling at night and warming during the day. Is it any wonder that a third of American have sleep problems?Maybe you think this doesn t affect you or at least not much. You Ye wrong. Research done on non-astronauts has shown the same thing. After two weeks of six hours of sleep a nig

58、ht, youredrunk. By the end of two weeks, the six-hour sleepers behaved as badly as those who hadnt sleptfor 24 hours.But what did they say when asked how they felt? It s not affecting me. So if you are performing poorly because of sleep problems, you may have no idea. This is a real problem.So what

59、answers did NASA come up with?Take an hour to calm down before bed. Yes, you re busy. But your time is not more valuable than an astronauts .Keep your bedroom dark, cool and free from noise. Even if you think the light doesn t affect you“ or the noise isnt that bad ”, it can still affect sleep quali

60、ty.Another advice: forget the alarm clock in the morning; set an alarm to remind you to go to bed at night. When it goes off, finish up any work on the computer, and turn off any unnecessary lights. This prevents you from cheating yourself on sleep and allows you to wake up naturally.What did NASA f
