Ⅱ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Every day arund the wrld thusands f peple with little r n schlarly training in art histry walk int museums.They may r may nt read ntice bards that share relevant infrmatin f the artwrks r artists.Imagine，befre being permitted t direct their eyeballs t the art n the walls，museum visitrs were required t read a 15­ r 20­page intrductin t each piece r each
artist.Hw many peple wuld g t museums if that were the case?
Yet this seems t be the expectatin when it cmes t reading classic literature.Classic nvels typically cme with 15­ r 20­page intrductins，which ften include spilers，assuming that readers d nt cme t classic bks t discver，be absrbed in，and be surprised by the stry wrld.Als，apparently，we mustn't read classics alne，withut experts guiding ur experiences.
Hwever，classic literature is in a unique psitin t shw us that we're nt alne in ur pains and jys.By taking us ut f ur time，classic bks free us t see beynd the set f beliefs we stick t and t cnnect human experiences that remain alive acrss time and place.What culd be mre grunding，mre cmfrting，than seeing urselves in the battles，lngings，and pleasures that have played ut acrss hundreds，thusands f years f human histry? Our persnal engagement is the first step f a lnger jurney f discvery，that deepens ur knwledge and understanding f urselves and ur wrld.We may，fr example，feel fr Hester Prynne frm Nathaniel Hawthrne's The Scarlet Letter thugh we despair f the wrld she lived in.
While we're letting g f things，let's stp wrrying abut understanding everything.We can't.It will be fun if we embrace curisity，the pleasure f wrking ut a mystery，and ur cmmn relatinships as humans.We can feel，fr example，the pwer f self­sacrifice in Charles Dickens' A Tale f Tw Cities even when we lack full understanding f the cultural references and language.
