CANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS？Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought.Actually，the ancient Greeks wrote this way.The lack of punctuation marks probably didnt bother good readers，though.As they read，they just put pauses where they fit best.Also at this time，sentences switched directions.A sentence read from left to right.The next one read right to left，and then left to right again，etc.The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this：Theyput somethingthatcanseparatewordsinasentence.The word punctuation actually es from this idea and the Latin word punctureioquestio，This 1962 invention bines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both.For example，“She did what？”or “How much did you pay for that dress？”Obviously，the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet，but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英文标点符号的起源和发展。1From

by both university professors and everyday citizens.In his life,Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes for his worksmore than any other poet in American history.His most famous poems include “The Road Not Taken”“Fire and Ice” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”.Though he is widely read,Frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the United States for the plexity of his poems.Though born in California,Frost was brought up in New England,where he is inseparably linked.After dropping out of Dartmouth College to seek his literary dream,he remained upset for years,producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile.Finally,Frost left the United States in 1912 to see whether his work might be better received in London.It was in 1913 that his first full collection was published in Great Britain.Fellow American poet Amy Lowell adored Frosts work and brought it back to the United States,publicizing it insistently.Soon afterwards Frosts collections became best-sellers,and he became a famous figure.From then on,Frost was on his way to the lifelong respect and recognition for his achievements in poetry.In 1961,he was invited to read a poem for the presidential inauguration(总统就职典礼) of John F.Kennedy.He recited his poem,“The Gift Outright” from memory at the ceremony.This was perhaps his last poetry reading in front of a wide national audience before his death in 1963.More importantly,Frost became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration.1.What makes Frost “the
