22、Why read, and sometimes even write poetry? That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs.
I sing when I feel good. When I sing my favorite songs, I feel even better. Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words, I feel that it was written for me. A good song always makes me feel something. There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day. They help me get through the day.
They are like bright and warm colors in the middle of grays and shades. I like songs about love and friendship. The extraordinary thing is that my feelings are more special when I sing my favorite songs in English.
I also like reading. I used to avoid poetry until an e-friend told me I should recite poems and not look up the meaning of the words. Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms, but the best thing is to just forget about them. In the beginning I felt quite strange. Now I always lock the door. Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling, but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm, and the sounds of the words, it is really a special experience.
I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems. I have different feelings with different poems. When I have had a bad day at school, I read Keats and forget everything. When I am sad I read Wordsworth by the light of a candle. When the poem is finished, I close the book and my sadness is gone.

24、In a new study released last week，researchers analyzed data from two large-scale surveys about how Americans spend their time.
The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being—but only up to a point. People who had up to two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who’d had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.
“While too little time is bad，having more time is not always better，”said Marissa Sharif, an assistant professor of marketing at The Wharton School and lead author of the paper, in a press release. Of course, most people know that being too busy can cause stress. But the new study is not the first to question whether more free time will actually make people as happy as they believe it will. Experts note，for example，that some adults struggle with the “retirement blues”, which can be due to a lack of stimulation and structure among other things.
“Sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities. Study participants believed theft well-being would suffer if they spend the free time unproductively.
“Of course，what feels ‘productive’ is up to you. If watching two hours of ‘Real Housewives’ in your free time increases your happiness，you should do that. The point of all of this is self-care，not shame. In other words，how people use their free time matters.” Sharif added.
【1】What feeling can be inferred from “retirement blues”?
A．Thrilled.
B．Depressed.
C．Amazed.
D．Disappointed.
【2】Why did the researchers conduct the experiments?
A．To prove people’s attitude towards free time matters.
B．To argue which survey has the convincing finding.
C．To make participants spend their spare time wisely.
D．To tell people less free time can actually cause stress.
【3】What does the underlined word “productive” in Para. 5 refer to?
A．Helping you reduce unnecessary stress.
B．Finishing more work within fixed time.
C．Making you feel good about yourself.
D．Ensuring you to take good care of yourself.
【4】What’s the text mainly about?
A．“Sweet spot” is concerned with people’s well-being.
B．More free time enables people to be much happier.
C．Productive activities make people save more time.
D．Proper spare time boosts people’s sense of happiness.
