In the nineteenth century, one of America's greatest writers, Walt Whitman, helped people learn

to value poetry. Whitman created a new kind of poetry.

Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New York City. During his long life, he watched

America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world. As a young man,

Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and a newspaper reporter. He was thirty-six

years old when he published his first book of poetry in eighteen fifty-five. He called it Leaves of

Grass. It had only twelve poems. The poems are written in free verse. The lines do not follow any set

form. Some lines are short. Some are long. The words at the end of each line do not have a similar

sound. They do not rhyme.

for America and its people in many ways. Experts today praise Leaves of Grass as a major

literary work. In eighteen seventy-three, Walt Whitman suffered a stroke. He spent the last years

of his life in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman was poor and weak during the last years of his life.

He died in eighteen ninety-two. Some critics say Walt Whitman was a spokesman for democracy.

Others say he was not a spokesman for anything. Instead, they simply call him a great poet.

I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to transform dreams into reality,

but also for its power to bond together those who share a common vision of the future. For me,

that's true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or

hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my

earliest memories wasn't Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser(

Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me.

When it's warm at night, we're not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow

speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All

these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.

Gene Rodenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said,

logic that bypasses(

realize the truth of Tennyson's words,

．阅读理解

Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of

Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eyes. We saw many unfortunate events.

However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I

wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That's why the story about

the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.

When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two

days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding

caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday

morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.

The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply

to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets

of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the

time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to

loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.

The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent,

should just feel forlorn. Instead

，

we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others.

Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.

The boy sat on his chair, with his hand above the keyboard. He thought about what to write. He

recalled that the competition deadline was merely a week away. But he still had not even

started on his piece. He looked at the brochure again.

His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition, and now he was taking it on as

his personal task for the holidays.

As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts, he realized how hopeless his task of winning

was. Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories. He had little imagination, and

unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.

Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story. The

words shot towards him like a storm of leaves. Words were coming easily, flowing through

him, faster than he could type. He typed faster than he ever had before. He continued to type,
