Poetry
People seldom feel neutral about poetry(诗). Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and lobe. It isn't words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only works and good for nothing. That's not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words-in poetry or in life-but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is, in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.
One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings, poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry's most insistent merits involves its at tempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about？ Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say," Yes, that is just what it is like; I know exactly what that line means but I've never been able to express it so well." Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.
"People seldom feel neutral about poetry"(in Para. 1) in this context means that ______.
What did Sibelius think of modern music？
Jean Sibelius and His Music
Jean Sibelius felt very much alone because he couldn't accept the music of that day. He believed that one should be able to make for oneself an ideal by reflection, and thought that modern music did not progress because it marked time without moving a step farther.
When he began work on his Fifth Symphony, Europe and his beloved Finland were being ravaged by World War I. He wrote in September of 1914. "But I already begin to see dimly the mountain that I shall certainly ascend—God opens His door for a moment and His orchestra plays the Fifth Symphony." But from the very first he was full of doubts about this work. He wasn't sure whether or not he should have begun on the Fifth Symphony. He suffered a good deal for having persevered in composing symphonies at a time when practically all composers had turned to other forms of expression.
The Fifth Symphony was completed late in 1915. It was performed on the composer's fiftieth birthday which was declared a national holiday. Sibelius conducted the concert but he was not satisfied with this new work. In October of 1916, he revised the symphony but a performance two months later still did not satisfy him.
Why did Jean Sibelius feel alone？
The Discovery of Penicillin (青霉素)
In the autumn of 1928, a Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming was searching for a substance that would kill fatal germs(细菌). On his desk were small plates containing the germs.(51)evening, he forgot to cover one of the plates. When he arrived the next morning, he found a spot of green mould(霉菌)in one plate. This is not strange because the room was rather damp(潮湿) ,with(52)one window. But Fleming did not throw out the spoiled plate, be cause something unusual caught(53)attention.
On the uncovered plate, near the green mould, the germs(54) . That meant that the mould had killed the germs there. Fleming watched the mould grow(55)several days. As the green mould spread, it killed more and(56)germs.
Fleming began to study the mysterious mould. It grew and grew. Then he noticed tiny drops of liquid on the surface of the mould. Perhaps this was the chemical that was destroying the germs.
Fleming drew off the liquid, drop by drop. He put this liquid in a test tube, and it(57)the germs in the tube. He called the(58)penicillin.
Fleming published his finding in a British medical journal(59)1929. But for ten years, while he continued to experiment with penicillin, his discovery was largely ignored near the medical world.
Then in 1938 a team of British scientists happened to(60)about Fleming's findings in an old medical journal. They made further(61)with the drug. They tested it on animals and then(62)human beings. In 1941, it was declared safe for use on humans. Soon penicillin was produced in large quantity and was used to(63)many infections(感染).
Penicillin is a very powerful drug.(64)can treat many kinds of infections. However, it has some bad effects. Sometimes it causes a skin problem or a light fever. And it can be fatal for people(65)are allergic(过敏性的)to it. That is why before you take a penicillin shot, the doctor gives you a test shot first.
