27、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, an
28、d 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 an
29、d 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 isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism
30、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
31、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 thing s 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.36 To have a bet

34、ny other subject.C One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetryD Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses40 The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced byA “build a booth”B “provide equipment”.C “leave a certain amount of time”.D “set

36、ty(繁荣)has faltered(衰退)over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline,it still has an enviable(令人羡慕的 )record for turning ideas into profitMuch of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes tha

38、rograms for pumping money into start-up companies.Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success,but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favoring applied research will mean neglecting basic science,eventually starving industry of flesh ideasIf every scientist starts
39、thinking like an entrepreneur(企业家),the argument goes,then the traditional principles of university research being curiositydriven:free and widely available will sufferOthers claim that many of the programs to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are
40、 promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.While this debate continues,new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germanys research networks,which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max Planck and LeibnizYet it is the fourth network,the Fraunhofer Society,that plays the greatest role in techno
