I want to get the whole set, _41_ all the Boston players.” Mum said, “ Write the _42_ neatly, so that it gets to the right place.” When I finished, I put the envelope in the _43_ the next day. Each day after, I d ask, “ Mum, did it come yet? ” “ Michael, we just mailed it off. Be _44_. ” A week later, when I opened the door, on the table was a brown _45_ addressed to me.

See what you think: “ When my grandmother got arthritis ( 关节炎 ), she couldn t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That s love.” Rebecca, age 8 “ Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.” Chrissy, age 6 “ Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip (一小口 ) before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.” Danny, age 7 “ Love is when you tel l a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day. ” Noelle, age 7 “ My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.” Clare, age 6 “ Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than David Beckham. ” Chris, age 7 Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four-year-old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the m an cry, the little boy went into the old gentlemans yard, climbed onto his lap ( 膝盖 ), and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “ Nothing, I just helped him cry. ” 56. The childrens answers are mainly based on _. A. their own stories B. their family stories C. what happened around them D. how they viewed people around them 57. How manychildren s answers describe a happy marriage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 58. According to Leo Buscaglia, the four-year-old boy_. A. cheered his neighbor up in a unique way B. gave love a special definition C. comforted his neighbor in the most caring way D. had a good understanding of his neighbor s sadness 59. What is the purpose of writing the text? A. To report a survey. B. To explain the meaning of love. C. To report a contest. D. To show children s loveliness. B No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed“, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally , the most telling “interpretation(解释 )“ of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting( 背诵 )it. I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing“ it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life“, and “a heightening (提升 ) of life“. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling“, and it “can save your life“. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies. I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those, who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its esse ntial nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it. 60. According to the text, to have a better understanding of a poem, the best way is_. A. to hear it read out B. to analyze it by oneself C. to discuss it with others k D. to practise reading it aloud 61. The best explanation for the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 should be_. A. students should read the poem at the end of poem class B. we should end the analyzing of the poem by reading it aloud C. sometimes the sound of the poem represents the meaning of it D. we feel the original meaning of the author by hearing the poem read loud after discussion 62. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? A. The teaching of poetry should h ave been much more stressed. B. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry. C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses. D. The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject. 63. The phrase “ make room ” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by _ A. “ provide equipment”B. “ leave a certain amount of time” C. “ set aside enough space” D. “ build a booth” C Best of News Design The competition invites entries from all magazines and newspapers-daily or non-daily-publis hed anywhere in the world.
