I began writing pems fifteen years ag while I was in cllege. One day I was in the library, wrking n a term paper, when I came acrss a bk f cntemprary petry. I dn’t remember the title f the bk r any f the titles f the pems except ne: “Frankenstein’s Daughter”. The pem was wild, almst rude, and nthing like the rhyme-and-meter petry I had read in high schl. I had always thught that petry was flwery writing abut sunsets and walks n the beach, but that library bk cntained direct and smetimes shcking petry abut dgs, junked cars, rundwn huses, and TVs. I checked the bk ut, curius t read mre.
Sn afterward, I started filling a nte bk with my wn pems. At first I was scared, partly because my petry teacher, t whm this bk is written fr, was a serius and strict man wh culd see the errrs in my pems. Als, I realized the seriusness f my devtin. I gave up gegraphy t study petry, which a gd many friends said ffered n future. I ignred them because I liked wrking with wrds, using them t recnstruct the past, which has always been a surce f petry fr me.
When I first studied petry, I was single-minded. I wke t petry and went t bed with petry. I memrized pems, read English pets because I was tld they wuld help shape my pems, and read classical Chinese petry because I was tld that it wuld add clarity t my wrk. But I was mst taken by the Spanish and Latin American pets, particularly Pabl Neruda. My favrites f his were the des—lng, shrt-lined pems celebrating cmmn things like tmates, scks and scissrs. I felt jyful when I read these des, and when I began t write my wn pems , I tried t remain faithful t the cmmn things f my childhd—dgs, alleys（小巷）, my baseball mitt（手套）and the fruit f the valley, especially the range. I wanted t give these things life, t write s well that my pems wuld express their beauty.
I als admired ur wn cuntry’s petry. I saw that ur pets ften wrte abut places where they grew up r places that impressed them deeply. James Wright wrte abut Ohi and West Virginia, Philip Levine abut Detrit, Gary Snyder abut the Sierra Nevadas and abut Japan, where fr years he studied Zen Buddhism（禅宗佛教）. I decided t write abut the San Jaquin Valley, where my hmetwn, Fresn, is lcated. Sme f my pems are abslute bservatins and images f nature—the range yards , the Kings River, the Sequias（红杉）. I fell in lve with the valley, bth its ugliness and its beauty, and quietly wrte pems abut it t share with thers.

If yu’re planning n travelling, there are a few simple rules abut hw t make life easier bth befre and after yur jurney.
First f all, always check and duble-check departure（起程）time. It is amazing hw few peple really d this carefully. Once I arrived at the airprt a few minutes after ten. My secretary had gt the ticket fr me and I thught she had said that the plane left at 10: 50．When I arrived at the airprt, the clerk at the departure desk tld me that my flight was clsed. Therefre, I had t wait three hurs fr the next ne and missed an imprtant meeting.
The secnd rule is t remember that even in this age f credit cards, it is still imprtant t have at least a little f the lcal currency（货币）with yu when yu arrive in a cuntry. This can be necessary if yu are flying t a place few turists nrmally visit. A few years ag I was sent t Tulsa, Oklahma. I flew there frm Lndn via（经由）Dallas, with very little time t change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airprt was clsed. The nly way t get t my htel was by taxi and because I had n dllars, I ffered t pay in punds instead.
“Listen! I nly take real mney!” the driver said an-grily. Luckily I was able t brrw a few dllars frm a clerk at the htel, but it was embarrassing（令人难堪的）.
The third and last rule is t find ut as much as yu can abut the weather at yur destinatin befre yu leave. I feel srry fr sme f my wrkmates wh travel in heavy suits and raincats in May, when it is still fairly cl in Lndn r Manchester, t places like Athens, Rme r Madrid, where it is already beginning t get quite warm during the day.
28．Accrding t the passage, it’ s bvius that _____.
A．the authr learns sme rules f travelling frm his wn and his classmates’ experiences
B．the authr desn’t plan his trips r jurneys carefully
C．Englishmen like t wear heavy suits wherever they travel
D．the American taxi driver never travels t England
29．Accrding t the passage, the driver was angry because ______.
A．the authr gave him false mney
B．the authr did nt give him the lcal currency
C．the authr did nt give him mney
D．the authr had n enugh change
30．Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A．The authr tells peple t chse warm places as their travel destinatins.
B．Yu dn’t have t take credit cards when travelling.
C．Yu shuld knw mre abut the weather f the place yu’ll visit.
D．Yu shuld take enugh change when yu travel t ther cuntries.
31．What is the main idea f the passage?

B．Always check and duble-check departure time.
C．It is imprtant t have the lcal currency with yu when yu arrive in a cuntry.

With greater climate disasters lying ahead, it is natural fr us t make every effrt t stp a series f flds, unusual snwstrms, and alarming reprts frm scientists. Fr many f us, part f that means running ut t buy reusable drinking tubes, rganic cleaners, and packaging-free prducts.
Hwever, befre yu are jyful f yur “green” purchases, take a secnd t cnsider a principle that shuld be bvius: simply cnsuming less is better fr the planet. After all, every new item a factry pumps ut requires sme resurces t prduce. But in the cnfusing stream f envirnmental news, this simple truth can get lst. Take plastic bag bans fr instance. If yur city is getting rid f single-use shpping bags, it can be tempting t pay fr that fashinable rganic cttn bag hanging in the checkut line f supermarkets. Hwever, experts wh have analyzed the data n envirnmental impact insist that grwing cttn is actually n better fr the Earth than prducing the cnventinal plastic bag. Any bag yu already wn is yur best bet fr carrying yur grceries if yu care abut sustainability.
It is nt just the Earth that will be happier if yu buy less. Yu will feel mre cntented t. There is a cmmn view that green buying patterns mean peple are ging green. Hwever, it desn’t seem t be that way. Reduced cnsumptin has psitive effects n increased well-being, but yu dn’t see that with “green” cnsumptin.
Many studies have shwn that materialism in general makes us unhappy and lnely. It is perfectly pssible t be a materialist and an envirnmentalist at the same time. Lusting（欲望）fr every new “green” prduct n the market might make yu feel gd abut yurself but it presents the same emtin al traps as lusting fr whatever the Jneses next dr are buying. If yu relieve yurself f that burden f wnership, mst peple reprt feeling a lt better and freer.
32．What is the functin f Paragraph 1?
A．T intrduce the tpic.
B．T send a warning.
C．T ffer practical advice.
D．T advcate green purchases.
33．Why des the authr mentin “plastic bag bans”?
A．T prmte cttn bags.
B．T call fr less cnsumptin.
C．T ban the using f plastic bags.
D．T reveal the harm f using plastic bags.
34．What d many peple believe accrding t the text?
A．Buying less des benefit t the Earth.
B．Green cnsumptin increases well-being.
C．Buying green indicates a green awareness.
D．Being green gives rise t mre cnsumptin.
35．What’s the best title fr the text?
A．Green Prducts Win Ppularity
B．Dn’t Be Lst in Envirnmental Passin
C．Buying Green Is Never a Final Slutin
D．Buying Less Beats Buying Green
