On many travelers’ lists of things to do before they die, you’ll find “See the northern lights” written down.

Rightfully so these lights are one of nature’s most jaw-dropping views.

In Sweden, the northern lights usually appear from late March or early April. Your best chance of catching a

glimpse of them is on cold winter nights when the sky is clear, dark with little to no moonlight, and cloudless You

need to be away from city lights and go to the countryside. For those willing to brave the cold on winter nights,

here are some of the best locations.

Abisko National Park

Abisko Natinal Park is a main location. The scientifically confirmed “blue hole” a piece of sky over the

Tornetrask lake that usually remains clear despite cloudy weather nearby gives Abisko its own microclimate (局部

地区气候), which is suitable for catching the lights.

Jukkasjarvi

The village of Jukkasjarvi only has about 550 people

But don’t let the small population size fool you:

Jukkasjarvi owns the world’s first ice hotel and is one of the best places to view the northern lights. The ice hotel

organizes guided tours for guests to the Esrange Space Center. There you can eat at a camp outside and see the

Arctic winter sky for aurora borealis (北极光). Or why not try to get closer to the northern lights and watch them

through an aeroplane window? The ice hotel arranges flights for the amazing northern lights experience.

Gallivare

You can drive a snowmobile to the mountain top in Gallivare for a private light show, of head a few kilometers

to nearby villages to watch those lights shining across the dark winter sky. But remember if you do get the chance

to see the northern lights in person, never whistle to them. According to ancient Sumi fairy, it brings you bad luck.

I began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college. One day I was in the library, working on a term

paper, when I came across a book of contemporary poetry. I don’t remember the title of the book or any of the titles

of the poems except one: “Frankenstein’s Daughter.” The poem was wild, almost rude, and nothing like the rhyme-

and-meter poetry I had read in high school. I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and

walks on the beach, but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs, junked cars,

rundown houses, and TVs. I checked the book out, curious to read more.

Soon afterward, I started filling a notebook with my own poems. At first I was scared, partly because my

poetry teacher, to whom this book is written for, was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my

poems. Also, I realized the seriousness of my devotion. I gave up geography to study poetry, which a good many

friends said offered no future. I ignored them because I liked working with words, using them to reconstruct the

past, which has always been a source of poetry for me.

When I first studied poetry, I was single-minded. I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry. I memorized

poems, read English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems, and read classical Chinese poetry

because I was told that it would add clarity to my work. But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American

poets, particularly Pablo Neruda. My favorites of his were the odes ― long, short-lined poems celebrating common

things like tomatoes, socks and scissors. I felt joyful when I read these odes, and when I began to write my own

poems, I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood — dogs, alleys (小巷), my baseball mitt

(手套) and the fruit of the valley, especially the orange. I wanted to give these things life, to write so well that my

poems would express their beauty.

I also admired our own country’s poetry. I saw that our poets often wrote about places where they grew up or

places that impressed them deeply. James Wright wrote about Ohio and West Virginia, Philip Levine about Detroit,

Gary Snyder about the Sierra Nevadas and about Japan, where for years he studied Zen Buddhism (禅宗佛教). I

decided to write about the San Joaquin Valley, where my hometown, Fresno, is located. Some of my poems are

absolute observations and images of nature — the orange yards, the Kings River, the Sequoias (红杉). I fell in love

with the valley, both its ugliness and its beauty, and quietly wrote poems about it to share with others.

4. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The author’s experiences with poetry.

B. The author’s method of writing poetry.

C. The author’s appreciation of poetry.

D. The author’s interest in studying poetry.

5. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ____.

A. “Frankenstein’s Daughter” was a flowery poetry

B. the author was able to memorize most poems he read

C. the author began to get in contact with poetry of different styles
