Poems for high schoolers

The poem is written by Rudyard Kipling. In this poem

a father talks of several values and advises his son

to live with moderation and constraint (克制) to continuously maintain calm and avoid overreacting. The poem is

full of positivity for personal growth in difficult times. Anyone struggling with a lack of desire in life can still

benefit from it.

The Laughing Heart

The poem advises readers to take control of their own life and make the most of their time. At the beginning of

the poem, Charles Bukowski talks about how one shouldn’t let others take their “light” out of them. Bukowski says

that once you begin to show up for your own life, “amazing” things will begin to happen to you. The Laughing

Heart, which focuses on risk and making decisions in life, is attractive to youth as it serves as an encouragement to

them to stand up for themselves in difficult times.

Fifth Grade Autobiography

Through the poem, Rita Dove discusses the good memories of her most significant life influences as a child.

By using language and pictures, she recalls how great and significant her family is as she looks at a photograph.

Based on Dove’s poetry, an excellent activity would be to ask children to select a photo that’s significant to them

and write their own Fifth Grade Autobiography.

The Rose That Grew From Concrete

The poem is about achieving our life goals despite the challenges we experience along the road. In this poem,

Tupac Shakur compares himself to a neglected rose who went from being a marginalized (被边缘化的) teenager to

one of the most influential singers the world has ever known. The poem will inspire readers to focus and realize

their dreams.

Scientists have known for a long time that the color of a room or the light in it can affect our feelings. Many

prisons and hospitals have rooms that are painted pink, for pink has a calming effect. Then, what role does color

play in the interaction with food? A new study has discovered for us the link between color and food cognition ( 认

知).

Professor Falfan and his team carried out this study by asking participants (参与者) to recognize food pictures

in black and white. The result was in agreement with his former prediction (猜测). Although color is not a decisive

factor, it has a clear influence on food recognition. Without color, people unsurprisingly made more mistakes and

it’s easy to mistake different dishes as the same food. However, this increase in error rates does not change the

accuracy (准确) of food recognition among different people. Those with a higher visual (视觉的) ability always did

better.

Then the researchers raised a new question: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic ( 挑食

的) than those with normal color cognition? They gathered participants with color blindness and required them to

fill in a questionnaire (问卷) that measures how resistant (抵制的) they are to new foods. The result suggested that

colorblind people are indeed less likely to be food neophobic than non-colorblind people, because the limited colors

that colorblind people can see reduce the signals that may raise freshness. safety or anxiety about new foods.

So that is why color affects food cognition. The researchers believe that colorful foods tend to attract our

visual attention more, thus improving our cognitive ability of food. Moreover, color may also be connected with the

nutritional value of food. Although this has not been fully proved, brightly colored foods often give the impression

(印象) of a healthier and more nutritious diet. Therefore, people tend to prefer meals with a range of colorful foods.

4. How did professor Falfan and his team carry out their research?

A. By doing experiments and surveys.

B. By studying data from other researches.

C. By observing food in different colors.

D. By interviewing some colorblind people.

5. According to the study, why are colorblind people less likely to be food neophobic?

A. Recause they have a much higher visual ability.

B. Because they have less interest in tasting foods.

C. Because their attention is more attracted by food colors.

D. Because their feelings are less influenced by food colors.

6. What is the reason for people preferring colorful foods?

A. They remind them of good memories. B. They help reduce their negative feelings.

C. They look healthier and more nutritious. D. They often have a better smell and taste.

7. What is the primary conclusion of the study?

A. Color plays an important role in food cognition.

B. Color has much influence on people’s feelings.

C. Color blindness makes people more food neophobic.

D. Color is connected with the nutritional value of food.

My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips in newspapers. It began

with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak,

Tintin, and Archie. They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without iPads and the Internet ― just like so many

of my friends who were fond of reading.

While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper

this changed

once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet

of image-heavy books, I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable. As I searched for books that

lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana ― a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-

like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun.

And so, as I grew older, I found myself transitioning towards graphic novels from childish comic books.

Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was

going on. For example

when I was reading Joe Sacco’s Palestine, I didn’t have to imagine the ruin caused by

the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I could actually see it while reading about it.

Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield’s Palestine: A Novel. Though I

was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have
