to use just a few lines to convey such rich meanings.
To recognize the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. One of the main goals of the day, according to the UN, is to support linguistic (语言的) diversity through poetic expression.
Chinese poetry has a long history that dates back to the Western Zhou dynasty. It peaked during the Tang and Song dynasties. Even today, classic poems are still loved by a lot of people.
And even TV series featuring classic poetry are hugely popular. For example, in the 2011 hit period drama, Empresses in the Palace, also known as The Legend of Zhenhuan, classic poems recited by the show’s characters are often quoted by internet users. One of the drama’s most moving songs was adapted from a verse (韵文) written by Wen Tingyun of the Tang dynasty.
On the surface, the verse “displays a daily scenario (场景) of a solitary (独居的) woman; but underneath, the poetry expresses the dejection (沮丧) of an underappreciated and undervalued scholar,” Peng Yuping, a scholar at Sun Yat-sen University, told China Radio International.
Meanwhile, the TV show Chinese Poetry Competition, which features classic works from famous Chinese poets, is also a big success.
“In poetry, I’ve found echoes of human emotions, including happiness, anger, joy and sorrow,” one of the show’s contestants, Bai Ruyun, told CCTV. “When I read ancient texts, I feel I reach the depths of these poems and find the real meanings of them.”
As an intellectual testament to the richness of Chinese civilization, classic poetry has become an important way to inherit and spread traditional Chinese culture. In January, the Ministry of Education released new curriculum standards for high schools that recommend students recite 72 ancient poems or articles, up from 14. Indeed, many people believe that learning classic poems is important in today’s world. “Through the bridge of poetry, people today can resonate with (产生共鸣) the aesthetics and values of our ancestors. Their wisdom has gained new life in the modern

world,” Yao Xishuang, director of the Department of Language Application and Administration under the Ministry of Education, told CCTV.
21. Why does the UN hold World Poetry Day, according to the article? A. To encourage the creation of poetry around the world. B. To bring attention to the linguistic differences in poetry. C. To build a better global community through poetry. D. To remind people of the long history of poetry. 22. What are paragraphs 4-5 mainly about?
A. Poetry in our daily lives. B. Poetry in modern society. C. Poetry in a hit reality show. D. Poetry in a period drama. 23. How many more ancient poems are highs school students recommended to memorize, according to the new curriculum standards? A. 14.
B
It’s often said that the rise of social media has revolutionized communication. With smartphones and social networking apps, we can write to our family and friends whenever we like. But while social media has brought us convenience, it also has its problems, such as misunderstandings in communication.
Quite often, people misinterpret what’s written on social media. According to a story published on The Conversation on March 8, sarcasm (讽刺), in particular, can be very difficult to spot in a written message.
Sarcasm is a kind of irony (反语): It’s when we say something, but really mean the opposite. For example, a message from a friend the day before a math exam that says “I’m so looking forward to tomorrow!” is obviously sarcasm.
Sarcasm before the rise of social media and mobile phones was mostly used in speech and face to face. That made sarcasm easier, because you could accompany your words with a facial gesture and a tone of voice that would help convey your message. You had a good chance of being understood and receiving a laugh or an understanding glance in response.
