Ladies and gentlemen，
Welcome to“English Salon”．Today we'll focus on our children，especially their health.
Experts say that students usually need eight to ten hours of sleep at night，but most Chinese students don't get that much.Some Chinese parents are usually happy to see their children studying late.It makes them think that their children work very hard.But not all parents are happy about this.Once a mother told us that every morning her 10yearold boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed，begging for one more minute of sleep.Like thousands of student“early birds”in China，he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that without a good night's sleep，students seem to be weaker than they should be.Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another.Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late.Some watch TV or play computer games late into the night.
Experts have said that students should develop good study habits，and some clever students never study late.They are able to work well in class.

Alice Walker makes her living by writing, and her poems，short stories, and novels have won many awards and fellowships for her. She was born in Eatonton, Georgia. She went to public schools there, and then to Spelman College in Atlanta before coming to New York to attend Sarah Lawrence College, from which she graduated in 1966. For a time she lived in Jackson, Mississippi with her lawyer husband and small daughter. About Langston Hughes, American Poet, her first book for children, she says，After my first meeting with Langston Hughes I vowed I would write a book about him for children someday. Why? Because I, at twentytwo, knew next to nothing of his work, and he didn't scold me; he just gave me a stack of his book. And he was kind to me; I will always be grateful that in his absolute warmth and generosity he fulfilled my deepest dream (and need) of what a poet should be.

Despite its short history, there is a lot of good English poetry around. The earliest English poetry was written in a kind of English that is now difficult to understand. Modern English started around the time of William Shakespeare, towards the end of the sixteenth century. The seventeenth century was a great time for English poetry. Shakespeare is most famous for his plays. His sonnets, however, belong to the best English poetry: in the next generation of great English poets we meet John Donne. Chinese readers admire his works because of his use of surprising images that reminds them of the works of poets such as Su Dongpo. Before the end of the century, there was another famous writer, John Milton. Once published, his work became famous for the absence of rhyme at

the end of each line. In the eighteenth century it was Alexander Pope who wrote the finest poetry in England.
The next period that produced a great number of fine poets was the nineteenth century. Greatly loved in China are the English Romantic poets. Although they were all born in the eighteenth century, they wrote their major works in the early years of the nineteenth century. John Keats died at a very young age in 1821: while William Wordsworth, who spent much of his time in the English Lake District, lived to the age of 80 and died in 1850. The nature poems by William Wordsworth, George Gordon Byron's Isles of Greece and the sonnets and long poems by John Keats have long been favourites. The style and atmosphere in their poems have often led to comparisons with poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai.
Finally, modern poets have their special attraction because they stand closest to us both in the language and images they use. Among them we find the American poet Robert Frost.
The introduction of English poetry to China came late. Towards the end of the nineteenth century Chinese writers started reading more foreign poetry. The great moment for European literature to come to China is between 1910 and the late 1930s when famous writers such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo translated both poetry and novels into Chinese.
More and more people are interested to read modern poetry in English. Translations can be good, but being able to read in English gives you much more choice. Besides, no matter how well a poem is translated, something of the spirit of the original work is lost. Reading poetry in English also opens the door to finding new ways of expressing yourself in Chinese. Finally, poems and literature can be bridges between the East and the West. They can help us to understand each other better, or as Mu Dan wrote：
Quietly, we embrace
In a world lit up by words

C
Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or some other important period in your life？Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind？Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates(引起共鸣)with you.In the same way，you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your staff and students.
Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past.Thus，it can inspire whatever and whomever it touches.The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this_common_need of the human heart and soul.
As one of the oldest art forms，poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity(人性)from one generation to another.Referring to poetry，Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement，“With this key mankind unlocked his heart.”
School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves，their students and their staff members.Beyond the simple use of poetry，techniques of poetry such as metaphors，repetitions and imagery can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication，create meaning and a culture of care and attention.
Since schools are mainly about people and relationships，school leaders，like poets，are required to inspire and encourage the human heart.The use of poetry－or even of some techniques of poetry－in school leadership not only helps to improve communication，but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration.
【语篇解读】 本文主要是鼓励学校领导将诗歌的力量转化到学校管理中。
64．Who is the passage mainly for?
A．Students. B．School teachers.
C．School leaders. D．Poets.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第一段的you too as a school leader可知，本文主要是写给学校领导的。]

Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book，“Versed”．
“I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win，” said Armantrout.
“For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”
Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for“Versed.”
“This book has gotten more attention，”Armantrout said，“but I don't feel as if it's better.”The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry，” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
“Versed”， published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

Great Changes
I_am_deeply_impressed_by_the_great_changes_that_have_taken_place_in_the_school_over_the_past_four_years._
On May 12,2008, a severe earthquake destroyed almost everything in the school，leaving badlydamaged buildings. It is now, however，taking on a new look. Tall buildings have been put up，including classrooms and laboratory buildings, and a library. There is also a newlybuilt standard playground. In the new environment, teachers and students are living happily and working hard. It is really amazing that the onceruined place has now been turned into a beautiful school，full of life.
Obviously，without the help of the whole society，there would be no new school today. It is love and concern that have brought about the great changes. Many hands make light work. We can work wonders if we unite as a family，caring for each other and helping those in need. Union is strength.
