Why do we read poetry？ First obvious one： because we enjoy it．1. But that's not why this is here．
Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost， and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is．2.
There are many different kinds of poems． They are not all calming． Some poems make me anxious， angry， scared， and sad， which is why I value them． 3. I want the sweet and the bitter． Often， I read poetry when I'm already relaxed． In fact， I read more when I'm not stressed out．
Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry， as far as I can tell． 4. Usually， this is done by setting up a rhythm（节奏） and then violating（违反） it or almost violating it． And then returning to it again． This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries．
Poetry plays with language． It often slams words together in surprising ways like the way food can be when the chef has paired ingredients that you never thought would taste good together but somehow do．
Many poems are dense． Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines． This is intellectually（在智力上） inspiring． 5.
And， of course， there's the subject matter． It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay． Not all poems interest me in this way， but then not all stories and essays do， either．
A． So in that way poetry calms our anxiety．
B． As a reader， I want a full meal， not just dessert．
C． Another reason is to appreciate the suggestions offered．
D． The only other reason seems to be for academic purposes．
E． The best part about poetry is that they are not fixed in length．
F． Metrical（格律的） poems are about setting up rules and then bending them．
G． It allows me to read the same poem over and over， always finding new things in it．
Researchers at the University of Kansas say that it's easy for people to judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes． "Shoes contain useful information about their wearers．" the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style， cost， color and condition of someone's shoes． In the study， 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants． Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes， and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
Some of the results were expected： People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes， and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people． However， some other results are strange enough． For example， "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "pleasant" people， while ankle boots were more connected with "aggressive" personalities． The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities． And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take very good care of them， you may suffer from "attachment anxiety"， which means you are likely to spend lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance． There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal （主张变革的） types wearing "shabbier and less expensive" shoes．
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities， but researchers noted that volunteers didn't fully realize that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities．

I've been in the taxi business for thirty﹣five years， and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good． Taxi drivers have to be rough fellows． You've got to be tough to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day， these days． Because taxi drivers are tough， people get the wrong impression that they are bad． Taxi drivers are just like other people． Most of them will shake down as honest fellows． You read in the Papers almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or bonds， stuff like that people leave in their cabs． If they weren't honest， you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers．
One time in Brooklyn， I found a diamond ring in my cab． I remembered helping a lady with a lot of stuff that day， so I went back to where I had dropped her off． It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her． I didn't get as much as "thank you．" Still， I felt good because I had done what was right． I think I felt better than she did．
I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old． I came to this country in 1913 where I held several jobs to earn a few dollars before being a soldier in World War I． After the war， I bought my own cab and have owned one ever since． It hasn't been too easy at times， but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day．
People ask me about tips． As far as I know， practically everyone will give you something． Come to think of it， most Americans are pretty generous． I always try to be nice to everyone， whether they tip or not． I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish （教区）． I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act． I have been trying this for a long time， and the longer I try， the easier it gets．
