閱讀理解

Have you ever heard of a great Chilean poet？ He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes， he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 111th birthday of Pablo Neruda （1904-1973）.

Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto， he was a tall， shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman， whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table， became a major influence on his work.

However， his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem， he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.

In 1924 Neruda gained fame （聲譽(yù)） with his most widely read work Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile （流犯） made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative， destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the sea because it teaches me，” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself， a renewal echoed （共鳴） in his work.

D. Neruda’s poems were widely read overseas.

閱讀理解

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact， many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.

It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century， a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time， or movie theaters， or World Wide Web， to provide diversion. However， poems were a source of pleasure， of self-education， of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one， and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was， like reading poems by the fireside， another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.

How did things change？ Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry， and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems？

There are， I believe， three culprits （原因）： poets， teachers， and we ourselves. Of these， the least important is the third： the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century， poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night， and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.

Poets failed the readers， so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem； they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.

1. The underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “___”.

A. concentration B. amusements

C. changeD. stories

2. Why is reading poems thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century？

A. It was a source of pleasure.

B. It built a link among people.

C. It helped unite a community.

D. It was a source of self-education.

3. What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry according to the passage？

A. Poems have become difficult to understand.

B. Students are poorly educated in high school.

C. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.

D. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.

4. In the last paragraph， the writer questions ___ .

A. the difficulty in studying poems

B. students’ wrong ideas about poetry

C. the way poems are taught in school

D. the techniques used in writing poems

The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. 1 Some people are compulsive （難以自制的） shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.

2 Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day， but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics （購物狂）. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money， they buy everything they want.

3 Some people go shopping when they are sad， worried， upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something.

Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction， but it can bring out problems. 4 If this is the case， people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However， the process， like for most addictions， is long， and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings， so they spend money they don’t have. 5

A. Some of them can be psychological.

B. The question is： why do they have this addiction？

C. Over the years， shopping has become a very common activity.

D. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs， it is difficult to get rid of.

E. They get deep in debt， and they can even go broke and get sent to prison.

F. However， in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.

G. People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves.

I ever worked as a tour guide. One day I saw the advertisement in the newspaper. I rang up the company， but I was given the job immediately. They asked us to take a tour around the city the next morning. The manager just told me say anything that I could think about the city. My first tour is terrible. The old bus was not air-conditioning， and it was the middle of summer. This was uncomfortable inside the bus. The tourist soon became very hot and angry. I had a very hardly time. I stayed there for a few weeks， and then left and joined in a better company.
