In fact, many people never read a poem once they get o
15、ut of high school. It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud.It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor W
16、orld Wide Web, to providediversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection with other people or with the world beyond ones own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social. Writing poems to share with friends
17、and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life. How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without
18、poems? There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed(背叛) us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into an unfavorable directions t
19、o the reading of poetry.Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair. at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged. Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want t
20、heir students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people regard poems asunpleasant crossword puzzles.8. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because _.A. it built a li
