A
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter.“You've got to want to write，” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose wish is never rewarded.
When I left a 20 year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had not prospects at all.What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people_who_die_wondering.What_if I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the Shadowland_of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

When it's five o'clock，people leave their office.The length of the workday，for many workers，is defined by time.They leave when the clock tells them they're done.
These days，the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches，but on cell phones and computers.That may be a bad thing，particularly at work.New research shows that clock based work schedules hinder morale (士气) and creativity.
Clock timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours.For example: a meeting from 9 a．m.to 10 a．m., research from 10 a．m.to noon，etc.On the other hand，task timers have a list of things they want to accomplish.They work down the list，each task starts when the previous task is completed.It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.
What，then，are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways Does one make us more productive Better at the tasks at hand Happier In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne Laure Sellier，they had participaints organize different activities—from project planning，holiday shopping，to yoga—by time or to do list to measure how they performed under “clock time” vs“task time”．They found clock timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives.Task timers are happier and more creative，but less productive.They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening，and seize opportunities that come up.
The researchers argue that task based organizing tends to be undervalued and under supported in the business culture.Smart companies，they believe，will try to bake more task based planning into their strategies.
This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office，but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time.While most people will still probably need，and be，to some extent，clock timers，task based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity.It'll make those tasks easier，and the task doers will be happier.

HOW TO READ A POEM
There's really only one reason why poetry has gotten a reputation for being so “difficult”： It demands your full attention.__1__
Follow Your Ears.It's okay to ask “What does it mean？” when you are reading a poem.But it's even better to ask “How does it sound？” __2__ Even if you can't understand a single thing about a poem's “subject” or “theme”， you can always say something — anything — about the sound of the words.
__3__ OK, we're not saying you have to shout it from the rooftops.If you're embarrassed and want to lock yourself in the attic (阁楼) and read the poem in the quietest whisper, go ahead.But reading aloud is really an effective way to understand a poem, because reading even part of it aloud can totally change your perspective on how it works.
Read in Different Places.Just like music, the experience of poetry changes depending on your mood and the environment.Read in as many different places as possible: at the beach, on a mountain, in the subway.__4__
Think like a poet.Here's a fun exercise.Go through the poem one line at a time, covering up the next line with your hand so you can't see it.Put yourself in the poet's shoes：__5__ If you start to think like this, you'll be able to appreciate all the different choices that go into making a poem.
A．Be Patient.
B．Read It Aloud.
C．If all else fails, treat it like a song.
D．If I had to write a line to come after this line, what would I put
E．So if you don't get it，set the poem aside and come back to it later.
F．Sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery for a poem to really come alive.
G．Here is a short list of tips that will make poems reading more enjoyable.
Ⅲ.应用文写作
假定你是李华，你的美国笔友Robert来信说他正在学习唐诗。他对如何欣赏唐诗有点疑惑，请你给他写封回信，介绍有关唐诗的知识和欣赏唐诗的方法。

参考范文：
Dear Robert，
I'm glad to know you are learning Tang poems.Now I'd like to share my opinions with you on how to appreciate Tang poems.
Tang poetry refers to poetry written during the Tang Dynasty, which people used to convey their emotions and transformed reality into literature.Du Fu, Li Bai and Bai Juyi were the best known poets then.Tang poetry was simple and about common things in daily life.
As a Chinese saying goes, “When one learns 300 Tang poems by heart, one can surely write poems.” Therefore, reading as much as possible about poems can help you have a better understanding of Tang poems.
Yours，
Li Hua
