The teacher told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would “name” their potatoes after people they did not like. Therefore, the number of potatoes would be different depending on how many people each student disliked.The next day, all the students brought their potatoes to school. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while the others had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with them everywhere they went for one week.Several days passed by. Some of the students started to complain, as their potatoes began to rot (腐烂) and smell bad. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.One week later, the game was over. The teacher asked, “How did you feel about carrying around your potatoes for a week?” The students complained once again. The teacher simply smiled and said, “This is what its like to carry hatred (仇恨) in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you cant stand carrying rotten potatoes for one week, can you imagine having hatred in your heart for a whole lifetime?”It can be quite tiring to carry hatred in your heart for a whole lifetime. Please forgive(原谅) others and move on with your life. Thats our best choice.根据短文内容判断正误（正确写A, 错误写B）35 .

In Western high schools, poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of todays students. In China. however. poetry is still an important part of the curriculum（课程）. Recently, the Ministry of Education has increased the number of ancient Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite, from 14 to 72. Why is it important to learn poems?First of all, poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture. It is a path to understanding your history and your society. It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that are common to everyone but that we may be unable to express-the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example. Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger, and a good poem can put those feelings into words and bring us self-understanding. Poems can also express beauty. In a few short lines, even something common can become beautiful. Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes/on silent haunches（弓腰）/and then moves on. Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and like a cat, and Sandberg catches that feeling and image（形象）, and makes it beautiful. Of course, to really enjoy poetry, it has to be read aloud. After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most ancient poetry, like Homers Epics（荷马史诗）and Chinas Book of Songs, was spoken for hundreds of years before it was written. the thought has found words. You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!Title： When a thought has found wordsPassage outlineDetailed informationIn the WestMost people think poetry is 50 . from the life of todays students.Chinas recent actionStudents must memorize and recite more ancient Chinese poems.51 . for learning poetryLearning poems helps you 52 . history and society.Poems help express your personal thoughts and feelings.Poems can express beauty of53 . things with very few lines.A tip on enjoying poetry54 . aloud is the best way to enjoy poetry.
