24、ve mean?” The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:“When my grandmother got arthritis (关节炎), she couldnt bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. Thats love

25、.” 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.” Chrissy, age 6“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip (一小口) before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.” Danny, age 7“Love

26、 is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.” Noelle, age 7“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You dont see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.” Clare, age 6“Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than David Beckham.” Chris,

27、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 lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the

28、little boy went into the old gentlemans yard, climbed onto his lap (膝盖), 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.”56. The childrens answers are mainly based on _. A. their own stories B. their family stories

29、 C. what happened around them D. how they viewed people around them57. How many childrens answers describe a happy marriage?A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.58.

30、d his neighbor in the most caring wayD. had a good understanding of his neighbors sadness59. What 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, until

31、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 discussionand 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 i

32、t aloud, and the reading of the poem is,finally, the most telling interpretation(解释) 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

33、 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 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 is a crit

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

35、 like it should not beforced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those, who do teach poetry must keep inmind a few thingsabout its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they mustmake roomin the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.60. According to the t

36、ext, to have a better understanding of a poem, the best way is_. A. to hear it read out B. to analyze it by oneself C. to discuss it with others k D. to practise reading it aloud61. The best explanation for the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 should be_. A. students should read the poem at the en

37、d of poem class B. we should end the analyzing of the poem by reading it aloudC. sometimes the sound of the poem represents the meaning of it D. we feel the original meaning of the author by hearing the poem read loud after discussion62. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? A. T

38、he teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed. B. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry. C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses. D. The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.63. The phrase “make ro

39、om” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by _ A.“provide equipment” B. “leave a certain amount of time” C. “set aside enough space” D. “build a booth”C Best of News DesignThe competition invites entries from all magazines and newspapers-daily or non-daily-published anywhere in the world.How
