Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama. As a child, Harper Lee was a tomboy (假小子). She fought on the playground. She talked back to teachers, and she was bored with school. In high school Lee was lucky enough to have a gifted English teacher, Gladys Watson Burkett, who made her fall in love with literature and taught her h ow to write well. There Lee loved nineteenth-century British authors best, and once said that her dream was to become “the Jane Austen of South Alabama”．After leaving high school, she went to the University of Alabama. There she found a second home on the campus newspaper. Eventually she became editor-in-chief of the Rammer Jammer, a quarterly humor magazine on campus. She entered the law school, but she loathed it. Despite her father's hope that she would become a local attorney (律师) like her sister Alice, Lee went to New York for her writing.

She spent eight years working small jobs before she finally showed a manuscript (手稿) to Tay Hohoff, an editor at J．B. Lippincott. At this point, it was more like a string of stories than the novel that Lee wanted to write. Under Hohoff's guidance, two and a half years of rewriting followed. Finally the novel was ready for publication.

To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 to highly favorable reviews and quickly climbed the bestseller lists, where it remained for eighty-eight weeks. In 1961, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize. To Kill a Mockingbird has sold more than thirty million copies in eighteen languages. In 2011, President Obama awarded Nelle Harper Lee the National Medal of Arts.

What is poetry? We usually don't think much about this question. If we do, we're probably tempted to think that poetry is simply a series of rhyming lines which describe a thing or an experience. But if it was as simple as that, why would we need poetry at all?

One explanation of poetry I like is that poetry communicates the essence (本质) or the soul of something, instead of just describing it. For example, imagine describing a playground swing to someone: what it looks like and how it feels to swing backwards and forwards. The person you're talking to would probably understand, but would he or she really get a sense of the excitement and freedom a child feels on a swing?

Now, take a moment to read Robert Louis Stevenson's short poem The Swing.

How do you like to go up in a swing.

Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing

Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,

Till I can see so wide，

River and trees and cattle and all

Over the countryside

Till I look down on the garden green，

Down on the roof so brown，

Up in the air I go flying again，

Up in the air and down!

The poem communicates so much more than any mere description could: the joy, the wonder, and the fun a child feels when he or she swings high up into the air.

Another way to explain it is to say that a poet uses language techniques to create visual images that come alive in the mind of readers or listeners. As the images come alive, the readers or listeners become part of the experience being described: they are there, at least in their imagination. And because they are there, even for a very short time, their emotions are also engaged. They feel frightened or excited, filled with awe or sadness. Pretty amazing, really.

8．In Paragraph 1, the author shows that poetry ________．

A．is attractive to everyone who loves reading

B．isn't very different from other forms of writing

C．mainly tells about an experience of a poet

D．is about more than just describing something

9．What is the explanation of poetry that the author likes?

A．It truly helps the reader feel excited and free.

B．It shows the essence or the soul of something.

C．It describes something to people in a better way.

D．It makes something simple sound more beautiful.

10．What does the poem written by Robert Louis Stevenson mainly show?

A．Things people can see on a swing.

B．The simple excitement of children.

C．The excitement of living in the countryside.

D．The joyful experience of a child on a swing.

11．The purpose of the text is to ________．

A．tell readers how to write poems

B．recommend a beautiful poem

C．help readers better understand poetry

D．explain why poetry is worth reading

D

If you're like me, you know that multitasking does not always save time. You slow down or make mistakes that require fixing. But_maybe_I'm_just_doing_the_wrong_things. Because a new study shows that people on a stationary bike pedaled faster when they took part in some sort of mental test at the same time.

Even the researchers were surprised by that result. They originally set out to prove what other studies showed: when people try to do two things at one time, they do both more poorly. Their finding is in the journal PLOS ONE.

In the experiment, subjects were asked to complete various cognitive (认知的) jobs that ranged in difficulty —everything from saying “go” when they saw a blue star on a projection screen to remembering a long list of numbers and then repeating them in reverse order. They did these tasks once while sitting in a quiet room and again while on the bike.

It turns out that cyclists rode 25 percent faster when they were distracted by some mental gymnastics. But only when the tasks were relatively easy. When confronted with tough brain-teasers, their cycling speeds were about the same as when they had nothing in particular to think about. The participants' cycling neither helped nor prevented their brain function.

The findings could point toward new programs in which we get better workouts simply by using our head. So next time you're pedaling or taking part in other kinds of workouts, try doing something else at the same time. You may not only be able to exercise more efficiently but also enjoy your time better.

12．What is implied in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A．Multitasking is popular with a lot of people.

B．Multitasking does not help people save time at all.

C．Multitasking often leads to mistakes that require fixing.

D．Multitasking doesn't necessarily mean poorer performance.

13．During the experiment, participants ________．

A．did cognitive tasks of different difficulty levels

B．repeated more numbers when cycling faster

C．cycled more slowly when repeating numbers

D．did the tasks several times

14．Which of the following is TRUE according to the study?

A．Cycling helps one's brain function better.

B．Cycling doesn't lead to poorer brain function.

C．One cannot cycle fast when he/she is distracted.

D．The harder one thinks, the faster he/she cycles.

15．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Researchers find something surprising.

B．Multitasking can help us work out better.

C．Cognitive jobs benefit us in various ways.

D．People like cycling and thinking at one time.

Ask your friend for suggestions. Some friends never ask each other what they want for gifts. 18.________ But if you have failed at giving a gift your friend would like, it's time to get more direct!

Can you give me some ideas？” That way, they can mention several different things and you can pick out something and still surprise them since they won't know exactly what you choose.

Ask them about the best gift someone ever gave them. Ask them casually about the best gift someone ever gave them, and listen closely to what they say. 19.________ But you'll have an idea of the type of item they prefer. This type of question also helps

you to get to know friends on a deeper level and improves your relationship.

20．________ If your friend is on social networking, look through their page for ideas on things that they like. Also, what types of things do they love in their home?

With friends, the gesture doesn't have to be big but it does have to be well thought out.

C．You don't want to send the same gift.
