第二篇　　　　　　　　　　　 Teaching poetry
第二篇　　　　　　　　　　　 Teaching poetry

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or 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 reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” 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 replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting(背诵) it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ 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 who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thing s about 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.

第一篇 &nbs
第一篇 Two People，Two Paths
You must be familiar with the situation：Dad’s driving，Mum’s telling him where to go． He’s sure that they need to turn left． But she says it’s not for another two blocks． Who has the better sense of direction?Men or women?
They both do,a new study says． but in different ways．
Men and women． Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding their way． Men look quickly at landmarks f地标)and head off in what they think is the right direction Women． however． try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head，
“Women tend to be more detailed． ”said Edward Cornell，who led the study。“while men tend to be a little bit faster and…a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的)”
In fact． said Cornell． “sense of direction”isn’t one skill but two． The first is the“survey method，’． This is when you see an area from above，such as a printed
map You can see． for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the
supermarket is on its right The second skill is the“route method”This is when you use a series of directions． Yon start from the hospital． then turn left． turn right，go uphill—and then you see the supermarket． Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions Both work． and neither is better
Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history． They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles． In ancient times． young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places． The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—the mountains． the lakes and so on．
The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants． These activities were much closer to home but required learning well—used paths． So，women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes

31 When finding his way Dad tends to rely on
A, his intuitive knowledge
B, his book knowledge．
C, Mum’s assistance．
D, the police’s assistance，

32 Women are more likely to use
A, 山 survey method

C, the route method
D, the right method．

33 Which works better． the route method or the survey method?

35 Women developed a sense of space out of the need
A, to go fishing．
B, to go hunting．

D, to go swimming．
Is There a Way to Keep the Britains E
Is There a Way to Keep the Britain's Economy Growing
  1. In today's knowledge economy, nations survive on the things they do best. Japanese design electronics while Germans export engineering techniques. The French serve the best food and Americans make computers.
  2. Britain specializes in the gift of talking. The nation doesn't manufacture much of anything.But it has lawyers, stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk, talk and more talk. The World Foundation think tank' says the UK's four iconic jobs today are not scientists, engineers, teachers and nurses. Instead, they're hairdressers, celebrities,management consultants and managers. But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can.
  3. Although the country's trade deficit was more than 60 billion in 2006, UK's largest in the postwar period, officials say the country has nothing to worry about. In fact, Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical industry, and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad. It also trades services-accountancy, insurance, banking and advertising. The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy. After all, the
country of Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a literary tradition of which to be proud. Rock "n" roll is an English language medium, and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands. In other words, the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.
4.However, creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK's exports of goods and services. The industries are finding it hard to make a profit, according to a report of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts. The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in "innovation activities", 3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany (61 percent) and Sweden (47 percent).
  5.In fact, it might be better to call Britain a "servant" economy -- there are at least 4 million people "in service". The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook,clean, and take care of their children. Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree. Most employment growth has been, and will continue to be, at the low-skill end of the service sector in shops, bars, hotels,, domestic service and innursing and care homes.

25、Paragraph 4______
26、Paragraph 5______
A.G rowth of Economy
B.“Servant’’Economy
C.Strength Of the Creative Economy

第三篇 Is the Tie a Necessity？ Ties， or neckties，
第三篇
Is the Tie a Necessity？
Ties， or neckties， have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So， are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties？
Maybe. Last week， the UK’s Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tie less era. Fie hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.
In fact， Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities （知名人士） without ties， which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.
For some more conservative British， the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier， Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan， the tie was a sign of being complete， of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church， to work in the office， to a party - almost every social occasion.
But today， people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.
The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a “band”。 The term could mean anything around a man’s neck. It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear （颈饰） impressed Charles II， the king of England who was exiled （流放） to France at that time. When he returned to England in 1660， he brought this new fashion item along with him.
It wasn’t， however， until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful， flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie. Then， clubs， military institutions and schools began to use colored arid patterned ties to indicate the wearer’s membership in the late 19th century. After that， the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.
But now， even gentlemen are getting tired of ties. Anyway， the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood.
41 The tie symbolizes all of tile following except
A. respect.
B. elegance.
C. democracy.
D. politeness.
42 Why does Blair sometimes show up in a formal event without a tie？
A. Because he wants to make a show.
B. Because he wants to attract attention.
C. Because he wants to live in a casual way.
D. Because ties are costly.
43 Which of the following is NOT a social occasion？
A. Going to church.
B. Going to work in the office.
C. Going to a party.
D. Staying at home.
44 Who brought the Frenchmen’s neckwear to Britain？
A. Charles ii.
B. Tony Blair.
C. Jim Callaghan.
D. Andrew Turnbull.
45 When did British gentlemen begin to wear ties regularly？
A. In the 1630s.
B. After the late 19th century.
C. In 1660.
D. In the late 18th century.
