Then the man explained that the child heard nothing strange and that the shell caught a range of sounds too faint for human ears. What amazed the child was not a new world, but the unnoticed music of the old. ① ② Some such experience as this lies in store for us when we begin the study of literature.Let a little song appeal to the ear, or a great book to the heart, and we discover a new world, a world of dreams and magic.To enter and enjoy this new world, we need to love literature, and make an effort to explain it.Behind every book is a man, behind the man is the race, and behind the race are the natural and social environments.We must know all these, if the book is to speak its whole message.In a word, we have now reached a point where we wish to enjoy and understand literature.The first step is to determine some of its significant qualities. ③ The first quality of literature is its description of truth and beauty.Some truth and beauty remain unnoticed until a sensitive human soul brings them to our attention, just as the shell reflects the unnoticed sounds.A hundred men may pass a field and see only dead grass; but a poet stops, looks deeper, sees truth and beauty, and writes，“Yesterday's flowers am I．” One who reads it is capable of seeing the beauty that was hidden from his eyes before. ④ The second quality of literature is its appeal to our feelings and imagination.Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than what it says.When Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus asks in the presence of Helen, “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships？” he opens a door through which our imagination enters a new world， a world of love， beauty and heroism. ⑤ The third quality of literature, coming out of the other two, is its permanence.To achieve this, it should contain two elements: universal interest and personal style.Good literature reflects the most basic of human nature — love and hate, joy and sadness, fear and hope.It also takes on a personal style — no writer can describe human life without reflecting his own life and experiences. In summary, literature is the expression of life in forms of truth and beauty, the written record of man's thoughts and feelings, and the history of the human soul.

In the beginning, Barrows struggled to land on an idea.At last, though, it struck her that she could bring together her two worlds — parks and poetry.A neighbor offered a weathered nightstand, which Barrows thought would be perfect for her project.She could fill the nightstand with fresh paper and pens and add a box at the bottom for poems. The idea reminded her of Little Free Libraries, which was known for the bookstands placed across the city.“I was inspired by the Little Free Libraries, where you ‘take a book, leave a book’．And I thought, ‘Maybe I could do this with poetry，’” said Barrows.Since she only had one nightstand to work with, Barrows decided that she would leave it in a park for four days before moving it to a new location.Barrows's goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all 220 city parks in San Francisco. Since the Poetry Nightstand Project (PNP) started, people have donated many poems.Barrows has shared them on social media.“It is a community project，” Barrows said.“It belongs to all.” Her poetry class teacher Muller commented, “People need poetry”， which might be the reason for the success of Barrows's project. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了旧金山一名女子阿曼达·巴罗斯发起了一项名为“诗歌床头柜”的公益项目。 4．Why did Barrows start her project? A．To share her own poems. B．To apply for a poetry class. C．To encourage young poets. D．To complete a required task. √ 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“A park manager by day and a poet by night, Barrows joined the Poetry for the People class at City College of San Francisco.Students were asked to ‘bring poetry into the community’ as their final project.”可知，Barrows 是为了完成一项规定的任务而发起了这个项目。 5．How did PNP differ from Little Free Libraries? A．It wasn't well－received by the poets. B．It wasn't fixed on a specific site. C．It covered different types of writings. D．It was only open to local people. 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中“Barrows's goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all 220 city parks in San Francisco.”可知，PNP(诗歌床头柜项目)与小型免费图书馆的不同之处在于它并不是固定在一个特定的地点。 √ 6．What did Muller think contributed to the success of PNP? A．The donation of social media. B．The public's demand for poetry. C．The help from a kind neighbor. D．The support from the city parks. 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“Her poetry class teacher Muller commented, ‘People need poetry’， which might be the reason for the success of Barrows's project.”可知，Muller认为PNP成功的原因是公众对诗歌的需求。 √ 7．Which word can best describe Barrows? A．Brave.　　　　　　 B．Talented. C．Creative. D．Generous. 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“In the beginning, Barrows struggled to land on an idea.At last, though, it struck her that she could bring together her two worlds — parks and poetry.”以及第五段可知，Barrows 能够将公园和诗歌这两个看似不相关的领域结合起来，并受到了小型免费图书馆的启发，将“取一本书，留一本书”的模式应用到诗歌上，从而发起了PNP(诗歌床头柜项目)，说明Barrows是一个有创造力的人。 √ Ⅱ.阅读七选五( ) Have you ever tried to write a poem?
