reason,someparents and some students feel that the compulsory study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageousto students,particularly if they are second language learners of English.However,there are still good reasons forthe study of English literature.Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature,especially if theyhave no plans to study English or translation at university.But English literature can introduce students to a rangeof aspects,not only of the English language but also the culture of English-speaking countries.There are aspects of English culture that are summarised by English literature.Of course,this is quite obviouswhen studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers,poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and nineteenthcenturies.It is,however,also true when studying other works of English literature.Students can learn about goodstories and references to different aspects of English culture.They can also learn the context and meanings offamous quotes and phrases.Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions ofEnglandbut includes the possibility ofintroducing them to traditions which inform English literature,such as the study of Ancient Greek drama,and toliterature in other contexts,such as American literature.An enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give students the ability to develop this into an interest inbooks and reading as they move away from their studies and into the adult lives.They will have the confidence toapproach and cope with new forms of books and writing,since they were exposed to a range of literature duringtheir school days.When studying literature,students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary items but also thelanguage aspects which can be used for specific purposes.For example,if the students are familiar with theconcepts of beat and rhythm of English poems,they can improve their own writing as they are able to appreciateand apply these ideas.Finally,the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle,from which the studentscan approach their studies in particular and their lives in general.So the next time you are reading a newspaper article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative in thelocal workforce,remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing andfurther dimension to a persons life.12.The author may agree that the study of English literature_.A.has a long-lasting influence on studentsB.is misguided and has more disadvantagesC.is not necessary for second language learnersD.only allows the students to learn the traditions ofEngland13.We can learn from the passage that _.A.schools fail to care about students needsB.learning English literature makes students smarterC.English culture is closely related to English literatureD.the more you read literary works,the more you complain14.Whats the authors attitude towards the study of English literature?A.Critical.B.Cautious.C.Supportive.D.Anxious.15.Whats the best title of the passage?A.Parents and Students DemandsB.Why We Learn English LiteratureC.English Culture and English LiteratureD.Suitable Courses for Secondary Schools第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项How to Teach kids
