Summer shower
Poem by Emily Dickinson

A drop fell on the apple tree

Another on the roof
A half a dozen kissed the leaves
And made the gables laugh

A few went out to help the brook

That went to help the sea
Myself conjectured, were they pearls
What necklaces could be

The dust replaced in hoisted roads

The birds jocoser sung
The sunshine threw his hat away
The orchards spangles hung
The breezes brought dejected lutes
And bathed them in the glee
The east put out a single flag

The following text is for question 28-33!

At the beginning of last century, Fantasia was sleepy town, and even as recently as the
1950s and early’ 60s, there were farms, orchards and vineyards close to our house. Garden
thrived here and you could find an incredible variety of exotic plants and shrubs. Of course, there
weren’t freeways and there used to be a good transportation system of electric trains. The air was
crystal clear and as a young child, I could see the mountains to the north and east almost every
day.
Now, we’ve got freeway, traffic and pollution. What a shame! If you had seen Fantasia 60
years ago, you would have been amazed.
Imagine if the city had known what was going to happen? If Fantasia had kept its train
system, we might have avoided some of traffic problems. If the city planners had only thought
more about the future, they could have put more money into public transportation. If fewer
people had moved to Fantasia Island, the population wouldn’t have grown so fast. If Fantasia
hadn’t grown so fast, we might not have so many problems today. No one anticipated these
things; otherwise we might have been a lot more careful.
