What was the impact of the poetry session on the program participants according to Professor Filreis（）
A．It inspired them to view things from broader perspectives.
B．It led them to think poetry indispensable to management.
C．It helped them develop a keener interest in literature.
D．It encouraged them to embark on a political career.
A.
Eleven summers ago I was sent to a management program at the Wharton School to be prepared for bigger things. Along with lectures on finance and entrepreneurship and the like, the program included a delightfully out-of-place session with Al Filreis, an English professor at the University of Pennsylvania, on poetry.
B.
For three hours he talked us through "The Red Wheelbarrow" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."
C.
The experience----especially when contrasted with the horrible prose of our other assigned reading--sent me fleeing to the campus bookstore, where I resumed a long-interrupted romance with meter and rhyme（韵）.
D.
Professor Filreis says that he is "a little shocked" at how intensely his Wharton students respond to this unexpected deviation from the businesslike, not just as a relief but as a kind of stimulus. Many write afterward asking him to recommend books of poetry.
E.
Especially now, "The grim economy seems to make the participants keener than ever to think ’out of the box’ in the way poetry encourages,"
F.
he told me. Which brings me to Congress, an institution stuck deeper inside the box than just about any other these days. You have probably heard that up on Capitol Hill（美国国会山）,they’re very big on prayer breakfasts, where members gather over scrambled eggs and ask God for wisdom. You can judge from the agonizing debt spectacle we’ve watched this summer how well that’s working.
G.
Well, maybe it’s time to add some poetry readings to the agenda. I’m not suggesting that poetry will guide our legislators to wisdom any more than prayer has.
H.
Just that it might make them a little more human. Poetry is no substitute for courage or competence, but properly applied, it is a challenge to self-certainty, which we currently have in excess. Poetry serves as a spur to creative thinking, a reproach to dogma and habit, a remedy to the current fashion for pledge signing.
I.
The poet Shelley, in defense of poetry nearly two centuries ago, wrote, "A man. to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and of many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own."Shelley concludes that essay by calling poets "the unacknowledged legislators of the world, "because they bring imagination to the realm of "reasoners and mechanists."
J.
The relevance of poetry was declared more concisely in five lines from the love poem "Asphodel. That Greeny Flower," by William Carlos Williams: It is difficult to get the news form poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there

【单选题】第三篇 Two People，Two Paths Women developed a sense of space out of the need（） A．to go fishing． B．to go hunting. C．to learn well-used paths． D．to go swimming.
A.
第三篇
B.
Two People，Two Paths
C.
You must be familiar with the situation：Dad’s driving，Mum’s telling him where to go．He’s sure that they need to turn left But she says it’s not for another two blocks．Who has the better sense of direction Men or women.
D.
They both do, a new study says．but in different ways． Men and women．Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding theirway．Men look quickly at landmarks(地标)and head off in what they think is the right direction．Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head． “women tend to be more detailed,”said Edward Cornell．who led the study,“while men tend to be a little bit faster and …a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的)．”
E.
In fact, said Cornell,“sense of direction”isn’t one skill but two．
F.
The first is the“survey method”.This is when you see all area from above, such as a printed map．Y0u can see，for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right．
G.
The second skill is the“route method”This is when you use a series of directions．You start from the hospital，then turn left，turn fight，go uphill——and then you see the supermarket．
H.
Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions． Both work, and neither is better．
I.
Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history. They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles.
J.
In ancient times，young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt．The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places．The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—the mountains, the lakes and so on．
.
The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants．These activities were much closer to home but required learning well-used paths．So, women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes．

I.

J.
No.2 on the list is Switzerland．The other nations in the top 10 are Norway，Luxembourg， Sweden，Australia，Iceland，Italy，Denmark and Spain． The UK is positioned at No.29，a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics．The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg，took the 13th place in the survey．China was in the lower half of the league at 60th．
