课时作业(十八)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

More excited than ever, Benjamin Giroux, a 10-year-old boy with autism(自闭症), came home from school on April 7.To celebrate National Poetry Month, his fifth-grade teacher asked her students to write a poem about themselves and every sentence should begin with an“I”．

Benjamin couldn't wait to start writing, so he sat down and didn't look up until he finished it.He showed the poem to his parents, who immediately choked up.

“I am odd(奇怪的)．I am new.”Benjamin wrote in the poem.“I wonder if you are too.I hear voices in the air.I see you don't and that's not fair.I feel like a boy in outer space.I touch the stars and feel out of place.”

“At first, we feel hurt that he feels lonely, misunderstood and odd at school，”Mr Giroux said，“As the poem goes on, we realize that he understands that he's odd and that so is everyone else in their own way. This  is what Ben wants everyone to know.”

Benjamin was supposed to read his poem aloud to the class the following day, but upon waking up that morning, he refused to go to school and stayed at home.He didn't think his poem was any good, so his dad posted it on the Internet in hope of getting some encouraging comments from families and friends.When the National Autism Association saw the poem, they posted it on their page, where thousands of strangers shared how much the poem inspired them.The family has heard from hundreds of parents thanking Benjamin for showing how their own kids may be feeling at school.

A poem is defined as a composition written in verse.Poems rely heavily on imagery, precise word choice, and metaphor(隐喻), and may take either the form of measures consisting of patterns of stresses or of patterns of different-length syllables.But they don't necessarily make use of rhyme.Poetry appears earlier than other forms of literature；however one cannot readily tell the characteristics of early poetry.Typically, as a form of literature, poetry makes great use of the forms of the words it uses.That is to say, it focuses on the features of the written or spoken word, rather than on their meaning.

The play, or drama, is another classical literary form that has continued to develop over the years.It generally consists chiefly of a dialogue between characters and is usually for theatrical performances rather than for reading.During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, opera developed as a combination of poetry, drama, and music.

An essay consists of a discussion of a topic from an author's personal point of view.The word“essay”in English is from the French word meaning“attempt”．In this sense, it could be said to mean the author's attempt to make others accept their view.

Prose consists of writing that does not stick to any particular formal structures.Prose writing can take beautiful forms, but not because of the forms of words it uses.

A novel consists simply of a long story written in prose, yet this form has only developed comparatively recently.Early novels in Europe did not, at the time, count as significant literature, perhaps because“mere”prose writing seemed easy and unimportant.It has become clear, however,

that prose writing can provide pleasure to those readers even though it doesn't stick to poetic forms.
