April is National Poetry Month in the United States. The Academy of American Poets started the celebration in 1996. The goal was to help more Americans add poetry to their lives.

National Poetry Month brings together publishers,booksellers,poetry groups,libraries,schools and poets around the country. 2 In the southern state of Florida,the Miami Poetry Festival tries to bring a poem to everyone of the 2. 5 million people who live in the area. The group has dropped poems out of airplanes,sewn them into clothes,and put them on every bus in the city.

Robert Pinsky was the Poet Laureate from 1997 until 2000. 3 He chose 200 poems by poets from the United States and from many other countries.

Many of our problems come from within our own minds. They are not caused by events,bad luck,or other people. We cause them through our own poor mental habits. 1 Stop jumping to conclusions. 2 First,they assume that they know what is going to happen,so they stop paying attention and act on their assumption instead. Human beings are lousy fortunetellers. 3 That makes the action wrong too. The second aspect of this habit is playing the mindreader and assuming you know why people do what they do or what they're thinking. Wrong again,big time. More relationships are destroyed by this particular kind of stupidity than by any other.
4 A huge proportion of those " oughts" and u shoulds" that you carry around are most likely needless. All they do for you is to make you feel nervous or guilty. What's the point? When you use these imaginary rules on yourself,you clog your mind with petty restrictions and childish orders. And when you try to impose them on others,you make yourself into a bully,a boring nag,or a selfrighteous bigot (顽固者) .
Don't hang on to the past. 5 The more you turn them over in your mind,the worse you'll feel and the bigger they'll look. Don't try to fight misery. Let go and move on. Do that and you've removed just about all its power to hurt you.
A. Making conclusion demands us paying much careful consideration.
B. Most of what they assume is wrong.
C. Maybe the past means a lot to you.
D. Here are 3 habits you should set aside right away to free yourself from the problems.
E. Don't invent rules.
F. This habit increases people's difficulties in two ways.
G. Most of the anger,frustration,misery,and despair in this world come from people clinging to past hurts and problems.
