13、ealing, to kids and adults alike. Dinosaurs are often compared to dragons, but are seen as cooler because theyre real. The huge skeletons in museums prove their existence millions of years ago on the same Earth that we now live on. Meanwhile, new discoveries have been made in different parts of the
14、world that open up a bigger picture of these ancient species. And how they went extinct is also a popular subject of scientific studies. However, we still seem to know so little about dinosaurs, and have to rely on our imagination when it comes to questions like “How did they live?”, “What did they
15、sound like?” and “How fast could they run?”. Its this sense of mystery that adds to dinosaurs attraction compared to other fierce animals like lions and tigers - animals that can be seen in todays zoos. But theres more to this dinosaur appeal. According to Guardian reporter Brian Switek, humans are
16、fascinated by dinosaurs not just because were interested in their history, but also because were trying to have a better understanding of human history.“Dinosaurs can be Hollywood monsters, objects of scientific fascination and everything in between, but at the root of it, our fascination with them
17、stems from wanting to know more about the prehistory we share,” he wrote.“The dinosaur story is part of our own.”21.

20、take photos. They headed to the top of the hill to take photos of the coast - most likely to share them on social media. The members of the group usually stood with their backs to the bay with big smiles on their faces as if to say, “ Look at us: we are here, and you are not.” What surprised me was
21、this: Of all people I saw, only a few actually seemed to be “present”. Most seemed content to take a shot and get back on the road. There were exceptions, however. Four or five young couples, perhaps newlywed, arrived throughout the day and, after taking the usual selfie, spent quite a lot of time g
22、azing, not at the view, but into each other s eyes. I have no problem with that. Also, an older couple sat on a bench holding hands, studying the horizon. I couldnt see their faces, but I hoped they were smiling and not trying to remember how to get back to their hotel. My favorite exception was a b

A woman, maybe his mother, made him join her for a photo. Then, he went back to staring until it was time to go. Whatever he saw, he proba
24、bly wont need a photo to remember it. Most of us spend a lot of time looking at electronic screens, seeing the world on tiny displays. These small screens help us stay connected to the people we love, but they can also make us miss things that are important. The screens themselves arent really the p
25、roblem, but how we use them - or allow them to use us. Im not saying we should give these screens up completely - how else would we keep in touch? But sometimes, its such a pleasure to set them aside and stand like a child by the ocean, with eyes, arms and heart wide open. Indeed, theres a name for
26、that kind of pleasure - its called being alive. 24. What surprised the author when she was watching tourists from the window of her house?A. Most of them stayed there for a long time.B.

29、mething that lives on the dusty end of the bookshelf, inside the collections of Homer and George Byron; something that is hard to understand and almost impossible to relate on. But theres a new generation of writers, who are redefining this art form by taking it to social media platforms like Instag
30、ram, reminding us just how relevant （有现实意义的） and powerful poetry can actually be. Dubbed （称作） “Instapoets”, Indian-Canadian writer Rupi Kaur, 25, is one of them. By writing poems on Instagram, she has attracted over 2 million followers and has now published two poetry books, with both topping the Ne
31、w York Times Best Seller list. She writes about everything, but, most importantly, she writes in a language that people can actually understand. About being confident, for example, she wrote: “ If you are not enough for yourself/ you will never be enough/ for someone else.” And about fighting agains
32、t gender inequality, she wrote: “ Bring your hammer and fists/ we have a glass ceiling to shatter（击碎）/ lets leave this place roofless.” “ Im writing for the generation thats reading my work,” Kaur told The Economist. “ Im not talking down to them; Im having the same experiences as them.” This sense
33、of intimacy（亲近感）- which is the opposite to the usually condescending（居高临下的）attitude that traditional poetry has - is probably why Instapoets are so popular today. According to global information company the NPD Group, last year, 47 percent - almost half - of poetry books sold in the US were the work
34、s of Instapoets, and as many as 12 of the top 20 best-selling poetry writers were Instapoets. But there are criticisms that the poems by Instapoets are so simple that they dont qualify as “real” literature - just like when US singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was given the Nobel Prize in literature in 201
35、6, and when this years Pulitzer Prize for music went to Kendrick Lamar, a US rapper. However, the popularity of Instapoets isnt surprising to Kaur at all. “ Good art will always break boundaries,” she told the Los Angeles Times. In fact, Kaur knows all about “serious” poetry, as she studied English
36、literature at school. But she still chose to keep her poems simple. “ I want readers to open up this book, start the poem, and from beginning to end I want their reading experience to be simple,” she told CBS News. “ But when they finish that poem, I want their stomach to turn.” And as so many thing
37、s have evolved long with technology - communication and shopping, to name two - whos to say that literature shouldnt evolve along with it? 27. What do we know about Rupi Kaur?A.
