Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. 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 films,is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the 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 isnt 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,and a heightening (提升)of life. It is an approach to the truth of feeling,and it can save your life.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont 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.1.

It is helping with social distancing while fighting the spread of the coronavirus. It also helps older passengers and those who otherwise need assistance walking the last few steps to the boarding gate.The mobility system seats one person and runs on its own without hitting anything. It has a preprogrammed path of about 600 meters at Tokyos Haneda International Airport. It was shown on Monday by WHILL,the company behind the technology.WHILL Chief Executive Satoshi Sugie said robotics and selfdriving technology reduce the need for a human at the wheel. They are good for these times of “living with” coronavirus. The ride lasts several minutes. It travels from the security area to the boarding gate at a speed of 3.5 kilometers per hour. But many people hope the technology can help in other places,such as hospitals or parks. The technology uses sensors and cameras to see a clear path and avoid hitting those walking toward it. It could also help Japan free up laborers. Japan,like many other nations,suffers from a labor shortage. The technology could free a worker to do another job.Tests have been carried out at several airports since last year,including John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The company hopes to put it in airports around the world.The person on the machine can start or stop it through a simple controller. It runs on batteries and is programmed to return to where it started when its passenger gets off. Anyone needing help walking long distances can use it at Terminal One at Haneda airport. It is called the lastmile mobility,says WHILL.5. What do we know about the mobility system?A. It can seat more than one person.B. It runs with the assistance of a controller.C.
