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. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” 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.

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 p oetry. 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”. []

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  essential 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.

A. discuss it with others

B. analyze it by oneself

C. copy it down in a notebook

D. practise reading it aloud

A. to understand life        B. to enjoy poetry

C. to become teachers    D. to become poets

51. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _________

A. More stress was laid on the und erstanding of poetry in the past.

B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.

C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.

D. Poetry is the  foundation of all language and literature courses.
