Two of the poems are always written by living poets. American writer Judith Cherniak, editor and founder of Poems on the Underground, said that most of them are chosen randomly, either from great poets or from unknown enthusiasts of English poetry.

Conceived( 构思 )by Cherniak, these poems aim to bring poetry to passengers, and show a wide range of styles. They are classical or contemporary, domestic or international.

Love or hate poetry, this project “ has proved to be an excellent way of introducing poetry, with passengers often wanting to read more,” according to the government organization Transport for London. “This has led to the publication of a series of Poems on the Underground books, which is now in its 11th edition. ”

“It hurts me more than you” and “This is for your own good” — these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students---“so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, leads to children’s passivity. “We’re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus. We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying 'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them “No” again.

28. Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______. A. they have done too much homework B. they watch TV too often C. teachers are too strict with them D. they have to do too many duties 29. The main idea of the passage is that _______. A. kids should have more activities at school

B. parents should always set a good example to their kids C. parents should leave their children alone D. it's time to be more strict with our kids

I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies, wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!

Maggie adjusted well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear-filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. as if her eyes said，“Don’t leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was then that 1 ran to the bathroom to vomit up the pills. The rest of the night I sat on the couch holding Maggie and thanking her for saving me.

Since that night 1 have had a love for her that I never knew possible. She never leaves my side when I am at home. She has taught me to smile and laugh. Together with Maggie, I feel I can get through anything. 32.The author got Maggie from ____________.

How to Persuade People

Convincing people that your way is the best way is often very difficult—especially when you’re not quite sure why they’re saying no. Turn the tables on your conversation and convince people of your point of view. 36 And with the right methods, you can do it. 1. 37 Knowing how to persuade people isn’t just in words and body language—it’s also in knowing the right time to talk to them. If you approach people when they are more relaxed and open to discussion, you will most likely achieve faster, better results.

2. Talk fast. People are more persuaded by a fast, confident talker than accuracy. Sort of makes sense—the faster you talk, the less time your listener has to process what you’ve said and question it. 38 3. Get to know them. A large part of whether or not persuasion is effective is based on the general understanding between you and your son/friend/employee. If you don’t know the person well, it’s necessary to start building this understanding immediately 一 find common ground as soon as possible. 39 So find parallels and make them known.

4. 40 There is something to be said for clarity. If you’re confusing, the person may want to agree with you, but doesn’t necessarily know what you’re looking for. Speaking in a firm way will help you maintain directness and keep your intentions clear. A. Speak firmly.

B. Understand the best time.
