19、nely boy.He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten.The American poet Walt Whitman，whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table， became a major influence on his work.However，his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing.
20、To cover up the publication of his first poem，he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair.Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love.His work also reflected the political
21、 struggle of the left and development of South America.He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative，destructive and forever moving.He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast.“I need the sea because i

26、 on the coast.”可知答案为 A。BReading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people.In fact，many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America.In the 19th century，a usual American activity was to sit
