3,000 people who were wounded in the 2006 earthquake inIndonesia,helped 2,500 wounded people after the earthquake that hitHaitiin 2010,and spent several months giving aid to over 25,000 people

the compulsory study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to students,particularly if they are second language learners of English.However,there are still good reasons for the study of English literature.Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature,especially if they have no plans to study English or translation at university.But English literature can introduce students to a range of 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 obvious when studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers,poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.It is,however,also true when studying other works of English literature.Students can learn about good stories and references to different aspects of English culture.They can also learn the context and meanings of famous quotes and phrases.Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions ofEnglandbut includes the possibility of introducing them to traditions which inform English literature,such as the study of Ancient Greek drama,and to literature in other contexts,such as American literature.An enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give students the ability to develop this into an interest in books and reading as they move away from their studies and into the adult lives.They will have the confidence to approach and cope with new forms of books and writing,since they were exposed to a range of literature during their school days.When studying literature,students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary items but also the language aspects which can be used for specific purposes.For example,if the students are familiar with the concepts of beat and rhythm of English poems,they can improve their own writing as they are able to appreciate and apply these ideas.Finally,the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle,from which the students can 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 the local workforce,remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing and further dimension to a persons life.12.The author may agree that the study of English literature_.A.has a long-lasting influence on students B.is misguided and has more disadvantages C.is not necessary for second language learners D.only allows the students to learn the traditions ofEngland 13.We can learn from the passage that _.A.schools fail to care about students needs B.learning English literature makes students smarter C.English culture is closely related to English literature D.the more you read literary works,the more you complain 14.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 Demands B.Why We Learn English Literature C.English Culture and English Literature D.Suitable Courses for Secondary Schools 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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 About Setting Goals
