四、任务型阅读。根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。
Natural scenes(景象) often become the themes of poetry. Poets watch nature closely and present(呈现) its beauty in their poems. For example，poets may describe natural scenes such as a spring day or a snowy day. Besides，poets often express their feelings about nature by creating lively images(形象) in poems. With images，poets can describe the details of something colorfully. Readers，on the other hand，can connect their own experiences with the images in the poems so that they can share the poets' ideas. Now let's read the following two poems.

When we read the lines "When the leaves hang trembling" and "When the trees bow down their heads"，they remind us of a windy day. The poet successfully creates an image of the wind by describing details of the scene. These help the readers think of the moment when the wind passes by. We might even bow our own heads，imagining that we are the trees.
In the poem Night，Blake describes many details of a night scene. People know very well what they can see at night，like stars or the moon. However，Blake sees more than just the moon itself；he sees the moon as a flower，smiling at us from up in the sky. So the moon is really compared to a flower and personified(拟人化) as a smiling person.
