Today a neighbor brought us some fresh fish he had caught on his last boat trip. As we thanked him, he said, 'They are not from me; they only come through me.'
At that moment I noticed the similarity between fish and haiku.
Nowadays, if Mom doesn't ever serve fish for dinner at least the kids get a taste of haiku at school.
For most of us, our first introduction comes from reading translations from Japanese, which is a bit like comparing sushi to frozen fish sticks. Even with the knowledge of the exotic, most poets stick to the meat and potatoes of English literature. It often isn't until we get older that we accept the simple goodness of fish, adding them to the menu more often.
Having acquired a taste for fish and learned how to cook them, one is better able to appreciate the short form. of haiku. Like fishing, haiku writing can be done with minimal equipment A pin or a pen, and a scrap of paper, is enough, but it is tempting to go all out and buy a rod and reel (even study Zen, visit a monastery or take a trip to Japan). If one goes in for deep sea fishing, a computer and laser printer are soon on the list of 'must haves'.
Like fishing, to catch haiku you have to go where they are. Unlike fish, haiku are everywhere. Still, you have to know the secret places where they hide and how to get there. Wearing old comfortable clothes (usually thought of as a meditative state) we look around just where we are. It does little good to only read of fishing off the coast of Japan when sitting beside the lake by our own front door. It does help to know which fish are edible and which are not There are two ways of finding this out We can either eat everything we catch and publish what feels right, or we can read books containing others' experiences while making up our minds about what kind of fish to go for.
If we compare spending days on rough seas to fish or strolling on the beach writing haiku; it is very easy for me to decide where my interest lies. Still I do love a fish dinner and I hope my neighbor enjoys my latest poems.
21. The similarity between fishing and writing haiku the text does NOT mention is____.
A. the freedom to choose what we do with the product of each activity
B. the delayed appreciation of both activities
C. the thrill experienced when engaging in them
D. the limited resources required for practising them
22. In paragraph 2, the author refers to sushi____.
A. to point out that the American eat frozen fish sticks more often
B. to contrast it with meat and potatoes

D. as a metaphor for original Japanese texts
23. According to the author, haiku writers have to____.
A. read about the process of haiku writing
B. be observant of what is around them
C. try to have their poems published
D. get acquainted with Zen philosophy

A. Something fishy about haiku
B. The forgotten skill of fishing

Now, go through the text quickly and answer the question.
GRAND CAY HOTEL
Nottingham-Darby Stockbridge Lane NC 125 FQ
Telephone: (06362) 04183
Telex: 585746
Dear Traveller,
In attempting to provide the best service possible for our guests, we've been faced with a problem. More and more often, it seems, people are engaging hotel accommodations without prior booking, and leaving without settling their accounts.
These "silent departures" have caused us - and other hotels as well - substantial cash losses. So far, at Grand Cay we've been able to absorb these losses without passing their cost on to our guests in the form of increased prices. But we're approaching our limit.
So, in order to prevent further losses of this sort, and to keep our prices as low as possible in this time of inflation, we are asking that - any person desiring overnight accommodation without a prior confirmed booking, please pay in advance the full cost of the accommodation.
Only by the introduction of such safeguards can the problem be alleviated. Please understand our position, and know that the service we will provide you will continue to be the best we can humanly offer.
Many thanks,
Godfrey Billingham
General Manager
