(A)

In a time when too much emphasis has been attached to utilitarianism(功利主义)，it doesn’t

come as a surprise to me that we people no longer believe in poetry. Utility is now often the standard of what one should devote his or her time and energy to and what he or she shouldn’t. But don't get me wrong. I am not saying or stating that one should not consider utility at all when making crucial decisions. On the contrary, everyone should take it into account Medicine, law business and engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance and love, these are what we stay alive for

My dad once told me that \无异议的)opinion among most people. With a tough life inevitably comes a tough language-and that is what poetry is and why poetry is needed. It offers people a way to talk about the difficult-to-describe things in life, like death, suffering, profound Toy and transformation. So whenever I hear someone say that poetry is not a must, or it's an option, or it's only for the educated middle classes, I suspect that he or she must have had things pretty easy.

But how can people live without poetry when poetry is nothing but a ceaseless flow of genuine human emotions? Unlike what the academics may tell you, my suggestion about bring

poetry into your lives is that don’t analyze it and don’t ask others to analyze ft. Don’t deconstruct

it or try to make meaning of it. Just find the poems that wake you up, that make you feel as if you've submerged (沉浸)yourself in a mineral hot spring or an ice bath. Find the poems that make you feel almost irrational joy or sadness. Find the poems that make you want to roll around in them or paint their colors all over your bedroom ceiling. Those are the poems you want to play with. Find the poems that communicate with the deepest parts of your being and welcome them in.

If finding others poems no longer satisfies you, compose your own! You don't have to be a poet to compose poetry. After all, poetry is not a luxury only for members of elites. It's a vital necessity of human existence. It's about being haunted by that burning desire or genuine willingness to vent feelings. It's about searching for the real meaning of life and also about giving

Meaning to life. Just like Walt Whitman’s “O ME! O LIFE!” \reader : “the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a Verse, \ask you the mother of all inspirational questions: \

Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-better? Your finger length might be a clue.Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Wechat, but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me

Here's how it works.

Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.

Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker

a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you're always wishing for more

Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker

If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid

conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you' re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a flight.

How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I'm not going to tell you which one it was!

We can learn from the passage that the author A. is very charming and knowledgeable B. always tries hard to avoid a fight C. often takes silly tests on Wechat D. thinks the descriptions suit him well 62.
