Practice 3  A newspaper is much more than a business; it is an institution. It reflects and influences the life of a community; it may affect even wider destinies.  It is, in its way, an instrument of government. It plays on the minds and consciences of man. It may educate, stimulate, assist, or it may do the opposite. It has, therefore, a moral as well as a material existence, and its character and influence are in the main determined by the balance of these two factors. It may make profit or power its first object, or it may conceive itself as fulfilling a higher and more exacting function.  Character is a subtle affaire, and has many shades and sides. It is not a thing to be much talked about, but rather to be felt. It is the slow deposit of past actions and ideas.  At the perils of its soul, a newspaper must see that the news it supplies is not tainted. Neither in what it gives, nor in what it does not give, nor in the mode of presentation, must the unclouded face of truth suffer wrong. Comment is free, but facts are sacred. “Propaganda,” so called, by this means is hateful. The voice of opponents no less than that of friends has a right to be heard. Comment also is justly subject to a self-imposed restraint. It is well to be frank; it is even better to be fair. This is an ideal. Achievement in such matters is hardly given to man. Perhaps none of us can attain to it in the desirable measure. We can but try, ask pardon for shortcomings, and there leave the matter.  One of the virtues, perhaps the chief virtue, of a newspaper is its independence. Whatever its position or character, it should have a soul of its own.  That is the path of self-respect—it is also the path of success. And what a work it is! How multiform, how responsive to every need—and every incident of life! What illimitable possibilities of achievement and of excellence!  To the man, whatever his place on the paper, nothing should satisfy short of the best. It is here that ability counts and that character counts, and it is on these that a newspaper, if it is to be worthy of its power and duty, must rely.

Reading Poem

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,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,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 or, best of all,reciting 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 poetry.Poetry is"a criticism of life","a heightening of life,enjoyment with others".It is"an approach to the truth of feeling",and it"can save your life".It also deserves a place in the teaching of languages and literature more central than it presently occupies.
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.

What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A:The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.
B:The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.
C:One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D:Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.

答案:A
解析:
第一段第一句强调朗读诗应置于讨论和“分析”诗歌之前,第二段第一句进一步说讨论诗都是为朗读做准备,并且朗读诗最终是对诗歌最生动有效的诊释。第三段第一句也强调朗读诗的重要性远大于“分析”诗。因此,朗读、讨论、分析三者比较,朗读诗是能够更好地理解诗的最好方式。
第二段最后一句说即使教学辅助设备也无法取代学生和教师朗读诗,最好能够背诵。由此可以推断出背诵是理解诗的最好方式。
第三段讲我认为作为英语教师,我们的目标之一是使学生热爱诗歌。所以答案是热爱诗。
第三段最后一句说在语言和文学教学中,诗也理应占据比现在更重要的位置。所以应强调诗歌教学,应选A。注:" stress”是“强调”的意思。
" make room for”本意是“为······腾出空位”。此处应理解为在课上安排时间聆听和思考诗歌,即“leave a certain amount of time”之意。
