18、.Ceramic painting.B Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later? Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.“This is an animal study,but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important-not just for phys

20、ung male rats into two equal groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later - when the rats had reached middle age-the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they fro

Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in adifferent room.

26、PoetryNo 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 d

27、iscussions 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 specia

28、l 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 “analysing” it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers

29、 of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening 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 sa

30、ying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to communicate this to 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 f

32、ing your life B. Saving your life C. Criticizing life D. Heightening life30. The last sentence in the third paragraph imply_.A. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.B. More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.D. One cannot enjoy life fully with
