　　No 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.

　　All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling(生动的) “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 special 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 “analyzing” it, if there isn’t 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 of life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.

　　I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t 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.

　　12. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should _____.

　　A. discuss it with others B. analyze it by oneself

　　C. practice reading it aloud D. copy it down in a notebook

　　13. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students _____.

　　A. to enjoy poetry B. to understand life

　　C. to become teacher D. to become poets

　　14. The underlined word "make room "( in the last paragraph) probably means ____.

　　A. to build a booth B. to provide equipment

　　C. to set aside enough space D. to leave a certain amount of time

　　15. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _____.

　　A. Poetry is more important than any other subject.

　　B. More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
