单元综合测评(三) .阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) A For about three years now，I have been writing poetry.It was not until my junior year in high school that I developed an interest，love，and skill for writing poetry. Back in elementary school，I loved to write stories.I would write stories on post—it notes and anywhere I could.Yet when I had to write a limerick (五行打油诗) for an assignment，I could not wrap my head around poetry.I had a very hard time figuring out how to rhyme words and have the words make sense.I eventually tossed(扔) the paper with the attempted limerick in the trash.I did not try my hand at poetry again until several years later. Many years later in my freshman year of high school，my English teacher gave my class a poetry project as an assignment.I still remembered my limerick assignment and was afraid of doing the poetry project.For the project，we had to analyze a poem and write a response to it.I chose to respond to Robert Frosts poem Fire and Ice.I also wrote my own poem first.I became really excited when writing the poem. Two years later，I started writing poetry，as a hobby and for fun.To learn how good or bad my poems were，I handed them in to some magazines and contests.I won second place in the North Carolina Poetry Societys Sherry Pruitt Award Contest with a poem called The Ocean，and had my two poems published as high merit (优等) poems.I have continued to write poetry，and have even self-published three collections of poetry in both print and e-book formats，which can be found at my store on Lulu. Now，I love writing poetry，but I dont hate writing short stories.I just find it more difficult and not my style of writing，even though I still write short stories occasionally. 【语篇解读】　本文作者叙述了自己的写诗经历。 1．When the author was a pupil，he ________.
