根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Let
a great book to the heart, and we discover a new world, a world of dreams and
magic. To enter and enjoy this new world, we need to love and explain
literature. Behind every book is a man, behind the man is the race, and behind
the race are the natural and social environments. In a word, we wish to enjoy
and understand literature. .
The
first quality of literature is its description of truth and beauty. In fact, we
are surrounded with truth and beauty. . Men pass a field and see only
dead grass; but a poet stops and looks deeper, saying, "Yesterday's
flowers am I." One who reads it can see the beauty that was hidden from
his eyes.
The
second quality is its appeal to our feelings and imagination. . When
Christopher asks in the presence of Helen, "Was this the face that
launched a thousand ships?" he opens a door through which our imagination
enters a new world, a world of love and heroism.
The
third quality is its permanence. To achieve this, it should contain two
elements: universal humanity and personal style. . It also takes on a
personal style—no writer can describe human life without
reflecting his own life and experiences.
.
It is also the written record of man's thoughts and feelings, and the history
of the human soul.
A. The first step is to determine some
of its significant qualities.
B. Its attraction lies more in what it
awakens in us than what it says.
C. Therefore, what amaze us about
literature is its essential qualities.
D. In summary, literature is the
expression of life in forms of truth and beauty.
E. Good literature reflects basic human
nature—love and hate, joy and sadness.
F. Literature will provide us with a
vivid picture of what will happen in future life.
G. But some remain unnoticed until a
sensitive human soul brings them to our attention.
