The Road Not Taken is one of Robert Frosts most familiar and popular poems. It is made up of four stanzas (节) of five lines each. The popularity of the poem is largely a result of the simplicity of its symbolism: the speaker must choose between diverging (分叉的) paths in a wood, and he thinks that choice is like choosing between different directions in life. Though it is a simple poem, different people have different interpretations of how the speaker feels about his situation and how the readers view the speaker.
Frost wrote the poem in the first person, which raises the question of whether the speaker is the poet himself or a persona, a character created for the purposes of the poem. According to a biography, Robert Frost: The Years of Triumph by Lawrence Thompson, Frost would often introduce that the speaker was based on his friend Edward Thomas, “A person who, whichever road he went, would be sorry he didn’t go the other.”
In the first stanza, the speaker must choose between two paths in different directions. He regrets that he cannot follow both roads, so he pauses for a long while to consider his choice. In this stanza and the next, one road seems preferable; however, in the third stanza he has decided that the two paths are roughly equivalent (相同的). And then he tries to cheer himself up by comforting himself that he will return someday and walk the other road.
In the last part of the poem, however, the speaker realizes that he probably will never return to walk another path. He believes that when he looks back years later, he will see that he had actually chosen the “less traveled” road, which may make a big difference to his life. The poem is entitled “The Road Not Taken”, which implies that he will never stop thinking about the other path he might have followed.
4. Why is the poem The Road Not Taken popular?
A. It is simple to interpret.
B. Its author is the most famous.
C. Its scene is similar to real situations in life.
D. It expresses a kind of mysterious poetic imagery.
5. Who may be the speaker in the poem according to the biography?
A. The poet himself. B. Edward Thomas.
C. Lawrence Thompson. D. An imaginary character.
6. What can we learn about the two paths in the second stanza?
A. Both roads are worth choosing.
B. One of the roads seems better.
C. Very few people can choose both roads.
D. The two roads are actually the same.
7. How would the speaker feel years later according to the last paragraph?
A. He would keep dreaming of going back.
B. The choice he made changed his life greatly.
C. He had chosen the better one of the two roads.
D. The road not taken could have made him happier.

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65-team US men’s college basketball tournament. 2
Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. 3 Friends compete against friends. Husbands against wives. Colleagues against bosses.
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities. 4 Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves.
5 About $4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post-season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A. This adds to the madness.
B. The players will go all out for the games.
C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.
D. College students will ignore piles of homework.
E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
