I awake light-hearted this morning of spring, Everywhere round me the singing of birds But now I remember the night, the storm, And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
(by Meng Haoran)The Willow
The slender tree is dressed in emerald all about,
A thousand branches droop like fringes made of jade.
But do you know by whom these slim leaves are cut out?
The wind of early spring is sharp as scissor blade.
By Meng Haoran In the quiet night
So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed--
Could there have been a frost already?
Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight.
Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of my home.

Stranger, where do you come from?ON THE MOUNTAIN HOLIDAYAll alone in a foreign land.
I’m twice as homesick on this day, when brothers carry dogwood up the mountain, each of them a branch– and my branch missing.Unit 2 Poems

Talk about why people write poems with the students.
T: There are many reasons why people write poems. Some want to pass on some information, some tell a story, some express feeling of love, anger, joy, etc. We’ve learned a lot of poems before, especially in Chinese. But what are the reasons why people write poems? Work in groups and list some.
Sample answers:
People write poems: to express one’s hopes and intentions; to call up people to do something; to practice writing; to pour out one’s feelings; to show dissatisfaction or praise ...
Step Ⅱ Lead-in
Task 1: Talk about the kinds of poems.
T: People in different countries make different kinds of poems. For example, in some western countries, there are epics, sonnets and so on; in Japan, there is haiku. Can you give examples of poems of different kinds both in Chinese and English you like best? Why?
Sample answers:
S1: A Chinese poem: 杜甫《春望》
国破山河在，城春草木深，感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。烽火连三月，家书抵万金。白头搔更短，浑欲不胜簪。（I like the poem because it shows people’s miserable life because of war.）
S2: A Chinese poem: 王昌龄《从军行》
青海长云暗雪山，孤城遥望玉门关。黄沙百战穿金甲，不破楼兰终不还。（I like the poem because it shows the determination to defend the motherland.）
S3: An English poem: Dare to Believe
Everybody Knows:
You can’t be all things to all people.
You can’t do all things at once.
You can’t do all things equally well.
You can’t do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s.
So:
You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.
Then:
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
And you’ll be a most vital mortal.
Dare To Believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all-history event.
That it’s more than a right, it’s your duty,
to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve,
but a gift to cherish.
And you’ll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
(Because it makes me know myself well and feel confident.)
Task 2: Ask the students to skim the poems in the Reading. Then tick the box.
T: Poems are mostly written to show people’s emotions, as we know. In Chinese, we have “诗言志”，“诗言情”，“诗歌合为事而作”. That is, people write poems for different reasons, then we have different kinds of poems. Next please go over quickly the poems in the Reading part. And then tick the correct box / boxes for each question. Sample answers:

(9) The woman has the feelings of:
loneliness: she was alone watching her husband on the mountain top.
love: she waited year after year despite wind and rain.
trust: she believed her husband would come back one day.
sorrow: year after year, she waited and waited without seeing any hope of her husband’s coming back, she was very sad.
Task 4: Ask the students to know something about poems.
T: As we know, most poems have strong rhythms or rhyming lines. But what are rhyme and rhythm?
Sample answers:
A rhyme is a repetition of identical or similar sounds in two or more different words and is most often used in poetry. The term usually refers to the repetition of sounds at the end of rhymed words. If two words or lines of poetry rhyme, they end with the same sound, for example “hop” and “pop”.
A rhythm is a regular repeated pattern of sounds or movements.

Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式
Step ⅠRevision and Lead-in
Ask the students to read the words aloud. Then ask them to explain why “rhyming” can make vocabulary easy?
T: Poems are often short, personal and not easy to understand but reading them is a very good way to learn language. For example, words that rhyme makes vocabulary easy to remember. Now look at Exercise 1 on page 12. Let’s see how easy it is to remember rhymed words. First, look at the example words that rhyme each other. Read aloud the words and try to explain why “rhyming” can make vocabulary easy?
S: (After reading) Words that rhyme have the same or similar sound and their spelling forms may be quite similar, so it can be easy to learn.
Ask the students to show their work.
T: Well. Read out the words you’ve found for the given words.
Ask the students to answer the questions in TALKING on page 49 in the workbook.
T: We can see from the above that words become much easier to remember. So learning by reading poems can be a good way. Do you enjoy listening to poetry or reading it?
S1: Yes. I enjoy reading it very much. And I sometimes write a few. I practice my language in this way.
S2: I enjoy listening to poetry. It’s like listening to music. I often listen to Li Moran on CCTV reading Chinese poems. His voice often makes me feel inspired and excited.
S3: I don’t like reading or listening to poetry at all. I think poems are often dull, meaningless and artificial.
S4: I don’t like poems, either. Because poems are sometimes difficult to understand. Readers can’t understand the poet completely because of different situations and moods. Just think when the others are happy and you read a sad poem to them, how will the others respond?
S5: I don’t like poems. Poetry’s rubbish if you ask me.
T: Do you enjoy writing it?
S6: Yes. But not often. I always find it difficult to find the right words to show my feelings. I just write down whatever comes into my head.
S7: No, never. Writing poems is nothing different from killing myself.
S8: Yes. Sometimes when I am alone or not in a good mood. I found right words just come spilling out. You just have to make it sound right.
S9: Yes. I like how poetry lets you experiment. I like playing with words and sentences and lines.
Step ⅡListening and Speaking
Task 1: Ask the students to listen to the poem “I’ve saved the summer”. And then answer the questions in Exercise 1.
T: Next we’ll listen to a poem “I’ve saved the summer”. What does the title make you feel or think of?
S1: It makes me think of something regretful.
S2: It makes me feel hopeful and look back to the happy days in the summer.
T: Well. Let’s listen and find out what the poem tells us.
After listening, ask the students to answer the questions.
Sample answers:
S1: I think the speaker in the poem is more likely to be a parent. Because the writer shows his great love to his son in the poem.
S2: Yes. The poem has a rhythmic pattern.
S3: Yes. The poem has rhyming words.
S4: Yes. When I was listening to the poem, I felt great love in it and thought of someone who recalled the past happy moment.
Ask the students to read the poem after the recording and circle the words that rhyme in the poem.
T: Rod McKuen is an American poet, singer, songwriter and musician. “I’ve saved the summer” is his last work. McKuen himself took it as a lullaby that a father might sing to his growing son. Now read after the recording and circle the words that rhyme.
Sample answers:
Words that rhyme: you, new; need, feed; nineteen, mean; way, day; own, own
Task 2: Ask the students to discuss about the poem.
T: Now work in groups and discuss the questions on page 15.
Sample answers:
S1: The speaker in the poem is a parent. He / She is speaking to his / her son. Reasons: firstly, the parent sends his / her son warmth of the summer; secondly, he / she leads the son to brightness; thirdly, he / she teaches the son to be brave; finally, he / she would give the son all his / her love to help him down the road. All these show the great and selfless love of a parent.
S2: I think the second statement is closest in meaning to the speaker’s message. In the poem, the speaker says to his / her son that he / she has no answers to help him on the way. Instead, the son should find the answers himself.
Step Ⅲ Discussing
Task 1: Ask the students to think about the kind of poem they would write / translate.
T: Suppose you want to write or translate a poem. Now think about the kind of poem you would like to write or translate.
Sample answers:
Kinds of poems: nursery rhymes; list poems; cinquain; haiku; Tang poems
Task 2: Ask the students to discuss the kind of poem they are going to write / translate.
Sample dialogue 1:

S3: What kind of poem are you planning to write?
S2: I think I’ll try writing some nursery poems.
S1: What are you going to write about?
S2: I’m going to write about a birthday.
S3: What are you going to do yours on?

Step Ⅰ Revision
Ask the students to show their work.
T: Till now, we’ve learnt a lot about poems, including forms, characteristics, etc. As for poem writing, there are many rules and regulations. For example, some poems should have strong rhythm and rhyming lines, some should have certain number of lines. When we practice writing poems, we should follow these rules. Now who’d like to share your work?
Sample poems for reference:
1. (A nursery rhyme) Five Fat Peas
Five fat peas in a pea pod pressed
One grew, two grew, so did all the rest.
They grew and grew
And did not stop,
Until one day
The pod went POP!
2. (A haiku poem) Trees
Green every spring
Bright orange in autumn
Bare in winter
3. (A translation of a Tang poem) Coming Home (by He Zhizhang)　
I left home young and not till old do I come back, My accent is unchanged, my hair no longer black.
The children don’t know me, whom I meet on the way,
“Where do you come from, reverend sir?” they smile and say.
Step Ⅱ Writing
Task 1: Talk with the students about how to write list poems.
T: The list poem (also called “catalog poem”) consists of an itemization of things or events. First brainstorm a list of titles / topics and pick a favorite one. Then list ideas and descriptions. For example, if you want to write a poem about thunderstorms, you might start by writing down relevant words, and then choose the most suitable ones: flash, blowing, rumble, night, deadly and rain, perhaps. Here’s an example for you. Read and find out what the poem tells us.
Show the following.
A Day in the Barnyard
Farmers cutting grass
Tractors in the fields
Farmers planting corn
Cows eating grass
Tractors making noises
Farmers picking weeds
Farmers fixing fences
Lawn mowers going back and forth.
S: The above poem shows us a picture of farmer’s life.
T: There is no rhyme lines but a list of things that the writer has seen in a barnyard. So it’s very easy to make one. Now look at Exercise 1 in Writing on page 16. Work in groups, choose one topic and then start your group poem. If you write about something that you know a lot about you will be more likely to write from your heart and it will be a very interesting story because it has come from your heart.
Sample version 1:
If I were the ruler of the world
If I were the ruler of the world,
I would make some changes fast.
I would make peace last
War disappear,
I would make poor rich,
Good become better.
I would remove anything,
That hinder the progress of human being.
I would make the world
Full of harmony, friendship,
And love.
A true family.
Sample version 2:
If I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars,
I would buy
Enough bread for hungry,
Enough books for children,
Enough ships for fishermen,
Enough houses for homeless,
Enough hope for the world.
Sample version 3:
If I had taken your advice
If I had taken your advice,
I would have caught the train,
I would have arrived on time,
I would have met my father,
I would have hugged him long,
I would have thanked him more,
I would have made him happiest
Man in the world.
Task 2: Ask the students to write a poem that starts with “I feel happy when ...” or “Slowly”.
T: Next, we’ll go on with two other poems that start with “I feel happy when ...” or “Slowly”. For the second topic, you should make sure that each pair of lines rhymes. First read the examples, then start your poems.
Sample version 1:
I feel happy when
The moon is round,
Brothers and sisters sitting around,
Taste the moon cake and the joy of life.
I feel happy when
My work is done,
And weariness gone.
Everything goes smoothly.
I feel happy when
You sleep soundly,
With your little hand round my neck.
Peace and love full of the room.
Sample version 2:
Slowly you turn up in my dream,
Slowly the charming face fades in the beam,
Slowly a car moves toward the east,
Slowly ladies and gentlemen joined the feast.
Slowly the sun sets in and ends the day,
Slowly you take the sleigh.
Slowly I got up silently,
Slowly another day begins carefully.

Step Ⅰ Revision and Lead-in
Ask the students to show their work.
T: Poem writing can be easy and fun. Sometimes we needn’t think about grammar rules, rhyme or anything. Just make a list of your ideas and thoughts, that’s OK. Now let’s see how you have your poems done.
Sample versions (to Exercises 1 and 2):
1. Our second football match
We won in the second match
Because we hadn’t missed any chance,
Because Ben had a good pass,
Because we had thousands more fans screaming,
Because we had a good sleep the night before,
Because we had taken it seriously,
Because we had endless energy.
We won,
Because we’d been better!
2. We would win
We would win
...
If we played against Team Tiger
If our classmates came to help
If we knew their style of playing
If we could work better
If we missed no goal
If we never broke the rule
T: When we practice writing poems, remember the most important is to write about things we are familiar with. Writing poems is also a good way to learn vocabulary. Next we’ll listen to some others talking about poetry.
Step Ⅱ Listening
Task 1: (Workbook: P48): Ask the students to listen to the recording and find the answers to the exercises on page 48.
T: The teacher, Mr Tanner, and three students, Wu Zhe, Lily and Chelsea, are talking about how they feel about poems. Now listen and find out.

Step ⅠGrammar Focus
Talk about “subjunctive mood”.
T: During the previous periods, we learned a lot about nursery rhymes for which we practiced a lot on the “if I ...” pattern. The “If I ...” poem works so well because it allows you to follow one of the first rules of writing: Write about the things you know. Write about something that you feel very strongly about. Next we are going to talk about the “if” pattern.
Show the following to the students.

2. 文化背景知识
Narrative, lyric, dramatic
As an art form, poetry is thousands of years old. There are three basic types of poem: the narrative poem, the lyric poem, and the dramatic poem. Of course any poem may contain elements of all three, but essentially you will find that anything you read falls into one of these categories.
The narrative poem tells a story. This might, for example, be a rhyming ballad or an epic like Homer’s Odyssey, or it might be a much shorter poem which tells a tale.
The lyric poem is often short, and tends to be written in the first person about an intense private experience.
The dramatic poem assumes a voice (often the voice of someone who is clearly not the poet) or voices.
3. 读小诗学英语
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them “Hold on!”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And-which is more-you’ll be a Man my son!
The Pride of Youth
Proud Maisie is in the wood,
Walking so early;
Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
Singing so rarely.
“tell me, thou bonny bird,
when shall I marry me?”
“when six braw gentlemen
kirkward shall carry ye.”
“Who makes the bridal bed,
birdie, say truly?”
“The gray-headed sexton
That delves the grave duly.”
“The glowworm o’er grave and stone
Shall light thee steady;
The owl from the steeple sing,
Welcome, proud lady.”
Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again
Very quietly I take my leave,
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave goodbye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young bridges in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water,
In the gentle waves of Cambridge,
I would be a water plant
That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duck weeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream.
To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.
But I cannot sing aloud:
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer in sects keep silence for me;
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I take my leave,
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves,
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.

How did you do it, Dad? How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years? It took me almost 20 years to have the 16 to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first 17 drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a 18 that, in the past, would have started him 19 again. For a few years we were 20 to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.
"I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day," was Dad's 21 to my 18-year-old unasked question. "The words were a constant (经常的) 22 to me that things were 23 so hard that I could not deal with them," Dad said. Then he 24 the poem with me. The poem's 25, yet profound (深刻的) words immediately became 26 of my daily routine as well.
About a month after this 27 with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one 28 for each day of the year.
It has been my 29 that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own 30.
I 31 opened the book to November 10 to see 32 words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I was 33 when I looked at the page, and then tears of disbelief and appreciation 34 down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had 35 my father for all these years! It is called the Serenity (平静) Prayer:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”
36. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.
A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C. great and important; common
D. hopeful and helpful; careless　
37. According to the context we can guess that a genius is ________ while an idiot is ________.
A. a normal person; a funny person
B. a strong person; a weak person
C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
D. a famous person; an ordinary person　
38. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.
A. whose parents are clever
B. often thinking about difficult problems
C. often helped by his parents and teachers
D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use　
39. It is better for parents ________.
A. to praise and encourage their children more often
B. to be hard on their children
C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D. to give their children as much help as possible　
40. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.
B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
B
Mr. Fitzpatrick has given much attention to his “Weight reduction” (减轻体重) programs. Just last year, for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he put on twenty pounds instead of losing thirty he promised he would.
The year before that, he joined a health club. He exercised every day and ate less food. At the end of three months, however, he began making excuses about why he couldn’t go there more often.
After the health club failed to work, he joined Weight Watchers but stopped going because he was the only man there. And he hated following any of the diet programs. Fitz’s latest idea is to join a walking club to “walk off” the weight.
41. Mr. Fitzpatrick was ________ when spoke at the company dinner last year.
A. lighter than the year before B. planning to go on a diet
C. heavier than the year before D. with the Weight Watchers　
42. He did not stay with Weight Watchers because ________.
A. he couldn’t do as the diet programs required him
B. he felt uncomfortable being watched by women
C. the members of Weight Watchers were all women but him
D. both A and C　
43. Which of the following can best explain the main idea of the passage?
A. There is no good way to lose weight. B. One can do nothing without a strong will.
C. There are different ways to lose weight. D. Walking is the best way of losing weight.
C
No one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game ──by their co ──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.
44. While watching the game, we _____.
A. had feelings of different kind
B. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful game
C. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team
D. were eager to know what would happen later on
45. The wonderful game _____.

If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:
1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.
2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.
3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.
4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.
48. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.
A. whether the reading material is easy or difficult
B. what you are reading
C. what your purpose in reading something is
D. both B and C

The man from the West opened the little piece of paper handed him. His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he finished. The note was rather short.

A ★
Private orders for wallabies (沙袋鼠), which are na-tive to Australia and New Zealand, have jumped in re-cent years as landowners seek new ways of keeping their grass neat.
While families with large gardens may traditionally have brought in a sheep to eat growing grass, gardeners who are fond of wallabies say that the animal is prettier, friendlier and more lovely.
A pair of wallabies may not be cheap — males cost ￡150 and females around ￡650, in addition to food and bedding costs ― but demand is rising.
Waveney Wildlife, Britain’s biggest private supplier, reports a doubling in wallaby orders in five years, driven by growing interest from gardeners. Trevor Lay, who runs the centre in Suffolk, a county on the east coast of southeast England, told The Times that he now sells 35 a year and could find homes for three times as many. “It’s crazy. To be honest, if I had 100 I could easily get rid of them,” he said.
Quintin Spratt, a breeder (家畜繁殖家) from near Diss in Norfolk, also told the newspaper that he had received a great many calls from would-be owners asking for information about wallabies.
Anyone looking to keep a wallaby should have enough land for them to walk around — half an acre ―and fences (栅栏) at least 5 ft high to make sure they cannot jump for freedom.
While seeing a wallaby running across the garden may stop strangers from entering, they cannot be relied upon as house guards. “They’d run a mile from a thief or stranger,” Mr Lay told the newspaper. “They are shy creatures and really harmless, but adults will complain if their young are threatened. And wallabies don’t like dogs.”
56. We can learn from the text that wallabies _____.
A. feed on plants
B. are cheaper than sheep
C. are ugly-looking animals
D. are seldom seen in Australia
57. According to Trevor Lay, _____.
A. his business is going well
B. it’s easy to raise wallabies
C. he’s crazy about wallabies
D. he mainly receives large orders
58. It can be inferred from the text that wallabies _____.
A. are not afraid of strangers
B. look like dogs
C. are popular with young children
D. can jump high
59. What is the text mainly about?
A. Wallabies are expensive in England.
B. Wallabies are being used to keep houses safe.
C. Families are having difficulty cleaning their gar-dens.
D. Gardeners are buying wallabies to keep their grass neat.
B ★★
From the earliest times, the English, for instance, have believed in certain symbols and customs which could bring good fortune. Some of these customs are still practiced daily in today’s society.
Horseshoe
A horseshoe is considered a lucky symbol in English custom. It is similar to the other symbols associated with good fortune in other cultures such as the crescent (新月形) or “U” shape. The crescent or “U” shape is often said to be a symbol of fertility (肥沃) and also possesses the power to keep bad spirits away. As it is made of iron for horses, the horseshoe is also linked to strength and power. It is usually fixed to the front door to protect the household from uninvited visitors.
Rabbit’s foot
In the old days, it was said that Queen Boadicea of Norfolk, East Britain, brought a hare (野兔) with her to get luck in the battle against the Roman Empire which had invaded her kingdom. This has brought people to believe that a hare had great power. Many Britons carried a hare’s foot in their pocket or purse. Later, rabbits were introduced to Britain from the other European countries and as rabbits were easier to get than hares, a rabbit’s foot replaced a hare’s foot as a lucky symbol.
Coin
Coins, especially gold coins, were said to bring good fortune to the person who possessed them. Gold, like in any other culture, is always a symbol of wealth. Sometimes, brides put gold coins in a shoe to make sure of good marriage. The English, for instance, dropped coins into wells to make a wish in hope that their dreams would come true. This is due to the fact that, people in earlier times believed that there were good spirits who lived in the wells or springs.
Wood
Back in pagan (异教徒的) times, touching the tree was a sign of respect to the gods. Even today, some people will try to touch or knock on wood after saying bad things about other people. People believe that the act will drive away any bad luck during the day.
60. To wish for good luck, people will carry _____.
A. rabbits’ feet B. coins C. wood D. horseshoes
61. If you hope to win first place in the coming speech contest, you can _____.
A. keep a rabbit at home
B. throw a coin into a well
C. knock on wood frequently
D. fix a horseshoe on your front door
62. It can be learned from the text that _____.
A. it’s quite easy to get a hare’s foot
B. newly married couples are advised not to keep coins
C. horseshoes are used to keep away visitors who are not welcome
D. knocking on wood to drive away bad luck is seldom practiced now
C ★★★
Unconventional in every way, Edward Estlin Cummings made striking use of grammar. His arts were poetry, painting, and drama, and in all of them he was an experimenter. The poetry — for which he is best remembered — was marked by strange combinations of words and expressions and produced in very strange print. The unusual techniques that Cummings used served to present his ideas more forcefully and effectively than would have been the case with more ordinary styles.
Cummings was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Oct. 14, 1894. He graduated from Harvard College in 1915 and received a master’s degree in 1916. During World War I he served as an ambulance driver in France. He spent six months in prison because of his friendship with another American who had supposedly criticized the countries that fought against Germany in the First World War. This experience increased his distrust of all officialdom (官场), a distrust that showed itself in many of his later poems as well as in his first book, “The Enormous Room”, published in 1922.
Between the two world wars Cummings divided his time between Paris and New York City. His first book of poetry was “Tulips and Chimneys” (1923). The poems in the book were collected in “Complete Poems” (1968). The strangeness of his style was criticized by some, but others found it meaningful.
Among Cummings’ plays were “Him”, first performed in 1927, and “Tom” (1935), a work based on “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. An experimental prose (散文) book, “Eimi” (1933), recorded a 36-day visit to the Soviet Union.
Cummings died at his home in North Conway, N.H., on Sept. 3, 1962. He was the second most widely read poet in the United States, after Robert Frost. He was buried in Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston, Massachusetts.
63. The text is mainly about Edward Estlin Cummings’ _____.
A. life and works
B. great artistic abilities
C. creative ideas
D. influence on American literature
64. Cummings was chiefly famous as _____.
A. a novelist B. an artist
C. a poet D. a playwright
65. What does the underlined part “This experience” refer to?
A. Cummings served as a driver in France.
B. Cummings spent half a year in prison.
C. Cummings made friends with an enemy.
D. Cummings criticized the countries fighting against Germany.
66. What do we know about Cummings from the text?
A. His writing style was unique.
B. He wrote three plays during his life.
C. He published his first book of poetry in 1922.
D. His poems were seldom read in the United States.
D ★★
Half a century after the March of Dimes (a US charity organization that collects money for children) put the 20th century’s most feared childhood disease on the road to eradication (根除), Bill Gates declared polio (小儿麻痹症) his important job and challenged world leaders to finish the job.
India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan now have active transmission (传播) of the disease. Gates says the biggest problem with the success of the Global Polio Eradication program in those countries and else-where is lack of money.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plans to in-crease its $200 million annual contribution (每年的捐款) by $102 million this year, Gates says. Gates recently met privately with Pakistan’s President in Washington, D.C., to try to persuade him to provide full support for Pakistan’s eradication plan.
Children in the USA also are at risk, experts say. Parents who don’t vaccinate (给某人接种疫苗) their children because they are fearful of vaccine side-effects create a large number of children who are likely to be harmed by the virus.
“If you increase the number of unvaccinated children, you increase the chance that this virus will find new subjects,” says David Oshinsky, Pulitzer Prize-
-winning author of Polio: An American Story.
“We’ve got to get this vaccine into the mouths of children,” says Bruce Aylward, head of the World Health Organization’s eradication program.
In 1988, when the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication program, the disease killed 350,000 children a year worldwide. By last year, the total dropped to fewer than 1,500 world-wide, Aylward says.
If Gates provides the final push for polio eradication, he may be remembered as much for helping pre-vent polio as for founding Microsoft,
Oshinsky says.
“As long as there’s polio anywhere, people everywhere are at risk,” Aylward says. “We’re still not out of the woods.”
67. According to the text, the success of the Global Polio Eradication program mainly depends on _____.
A. the World Health Organization’s policy
B. the development of a new vaccine
C. the local governments’ support
D. the collection of funds
68. What do we know about polio according to the text?
A. People in Nigeria don’t take it seriously.
B. It’s now the most serious childhood disease.
C. Great progress has been made in preventing it.
D. There are few organizations helping to prevent it.
69. According to Oshinsky, _____.
A. Gates should devote more time to Microsoft
B. polio eradication is a very important cause
C. vaccine side-effects should not be ignored
D. polio has been brought under control
70. The underlined part “We’re still not out of the woods” means “_____”.
A. We get lost in the woods
B. We’re not free from trouble
C. We have no idea where to go
D. We’re unable to eradicate polio

Finding your dream job can be difficult. This month, the search will become even harder as new graduates start looking for work. With many companies still struggling, job hunters have a very difficult task ahead of them.
Don’t be disappointed. 71 Consider using these three methods to find and get the job of your dreams.
The Front Door
72 These include checking company websites and employment services. Since lots of people use the front door, make yourself stand out. This means under-standing what a company really needs and creatively showing you can meet that need. 73 Find out who is doing the hiring, and try to give them your resume (简历) in person. Then follow up with a phone call, letter or visit.
The Back Door
A back-door job search means finding a job through people you know. The back door can help you avoid the crowd of job applicants using the front door.
74 What if you don’t have any connections at your dream company? Apply for an internship (实习期).
The Invisible Door
If you’re still not getting hired, you might be running into an invisible (无形的) door. Invisible doors are things companies want from new employees but don’t list as job requirements. Many companies have special company cultures. Others are looking for people with very specific skills. 75
It’s not always easy to find a good job. But with a little work, a door will open!
A. Using the front door is convenient.
B. Create your own back door.
C. This type of job search uses traditional ways of get-ting hired.
D. If you aren’t showing you are a perfect fit, you won’t get hired.
E. There are still jobs out there for those who know what to look for.
F. But you still need to work hard to show you are the best person for the job.
G. Read about each company you apply to.

One possible version:
This poem consists of only eight lines, but it shows us what true friendship is like. With several rhyming words, the poem sounds easy to understand and remember. The poet sincerely shows his gratitude to his friend for his love, encouragement and being together with him whatever happens. I love the last line best, for, in my view, true friends never try to change each other but always accept each other as they are. I appreciate such friendship. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I wish someday I could come across such a lifelong friend.

Unit 2Unit 2 Poems如 何 写 英 语 诗 歌
诗歌是各种英语文体中最富有激情和感彩的一种。诗歌往往用高度凝练的语言来表达诗人的喜怒哀乐，诗人把自己对生活和客观世界的理解和感悟融入诗歌，当我们在欣赏一首诗时，可以通过文字捕捉到诗人的内心情感。一首优秀的诗可以以其特有的节奏与方式影响人们的精神世界。【写作指导】
一、诗歌的篇幅一般短小精悍，语言精练，感情强烈；在格式上，英语诗歌同汉语诗歌一样讲究押韵。诗的押韵是指通过重复元音或辅音以达到一定的音韵效果，一首诗的押韵具有带规律性的一致性，尤其是在诗句的末尾，称尾韵。下面我们来看Thomas Nash的一首诗：Spring
Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year’s pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit,
In every street theses tunes our ears do greet,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
Spring! the sweet Spring!这首诗押韵整齐，读起来很有节奏感。表现了春天里万物复苏、生机盎然、一派欢乐祥和的生动景象。
二、现代诗歌可以押韵，也可以不押韵，但是写作时需注意两点：
1. 要有节奏感。没有节奏感的诗歌，不能算诗，最多是分行的散文。2. 要把握句子结构的平衡。也就是诗句长短不要相差太远，否则读起来给人不平衡、不舒服之感。
下面我们欣赏一首现代诗：The Significance of Failure
Failure doesn’t mean you are a failure,
It does mean you haven’t succeeded yet.
Failure doesn’t mean you have accomplished nothing,It does mean you have learned something.
Failure doesn’t mean you have been a fool,
It does mean you had a lot of faith.
Failure doesn’t mean you’ve been disgraced,
It does mean you were willing to try.
Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, It does mean you have to do something
in a different way.
Failure doesn’t mean you are inferior,
It does mean you are not perfect.
Failure doesn’t mean you’ve wasted your life,
It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.
Failure doesn’t mean you should give up,
It does mean you must try harder. Failure doesn’t mean you’ll never make it,
It does mean it will take a little longer.
Failure doesn’t mean God has abandoned you,
It does mean God has a better idea. 这首诗是 Robert H. Schuller 的一篇励志佳作。这首诗句尾不押韵，但是由于每句诗都以排比的形式重复使用Failure doesn’t mean ... It does mean ...，使得整首诗节奏感很强，读起来催人奋进，使读者受到感染。【佳作赏析】
When You Are Old
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft lookYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. 这首诗的作者是William Butler Yeats（威廉·巴特勒·叶芝）。叶芝是爱尔兰最伟大的诗人之一 ，对现代诗很有影响。这首诗是叶芝写给自己心爱的人的情诗。诗中的主人公“你”指的是爱尔兰革命家Maud Gonne，诗人遇见她并爱上她，曾多次向其求婚，均未成功，但诗人对她爱慕终生，于是就有了这篇经典之作。全诗共三节，前两节均是对 Maud Gonne的爱意的倾诉。第一节中虽然多次用第二人称“你”，但实际上是描述作者自己心中的所思所想。第二节中诗人采用了对比的手法，讲述了对 Maud Gonne的爱慕之情，突出自己永恒的爱。最后一节诗人描述了自己内心悲伤的感情。诗中sleep / deep, book / look, grace / face, bars / stars, fled / overhead这几组韵调使诗歌富于音韵感，有音律美，节奏感强，读起来琅琅上口。纵观全诗，没有华丽的辞藻，也找不到甜蜜的情话，有的只是平淡的文字背后寄予的永恒的爱意和深情，反而能让读者久久回味。1.
