D
Petrarch was a devoted classical scholar who is considered the “Father of Humanism,”a philosophy that helped set the stage for the Renaissance. Petrarch's writing includes well--known poems to Laura,his idealized love. His writing was also used to shape the modem Italian language.
Petrarch was bom on July 20 ,1304,in Italy. With his family,he moved to France as a child. In France,Petrarch studied law,as his father had wished. However,his interest was in literature,particularly that of ancient Greece and Rome. After his father's death in 1326,Petrarch left law to focus on the classics.
As Petrarch learned more about the classical period,he began to respect that time greatly and fight against the limitations of his own time. Though he felt that he lived "among varied and confusing storms,” Petrarch believed that humanity could once more reach the heights of past accomplishments. The belief he followed became known as humanism,and formed a bridge from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
Petrarch's other interest was writing. His first pieces were poems that he wrote after the death of his mother. He would go on to write sonnets(十四行诗） letters,histories and more. Petrarch's writing was greatly admired during his lifetime,and he was nameci Rome's poet laureate(桂冠诗人) in 1341. The work Petrarch held in highest regard was his Latin composition an epic poem (史
诗) about the Second Punic War. His vernacular (用方言写的) poems achieved greater fame , however,and would later be used to help create the modem Italian language.
As one of the world's first classical scholars , Petrarch uncovered vast stores of knowledge in the lost texts he discovered,while his philosophy of humanism helped encourage the intellectual growth and accomplishments of the Renaissance.

B
All parents and schoolteachers know that being able to spell properly is a fundamental skill that young people must develop before they enter the classroom. But,as every parent and teacher also knows,learning spelling can be difficult for children in the early stages. The problem with English spelling is that the letters do not correspond to (与……相对应) speech sounds.
Good spelling skills are an important part of being able to read and write to a reasonable standard,Reading,writing and spelling are important in the first place because they all help to develop an effective level of literacy (识字).Without this,school coursework would not be completed satisfactorily and end-of-year exams would be failed. Getting good grades in exams,especially towards the end of a person's school life is extremely important if they are looking to go on to college or university before entering the employment market.
Learning to spell is important because being able to spell correctly adds so much to your skills and abilities,especially when it comes to finding a college or university place,or entering the job market for the first time. Writing a decent CV(简历) and completing the application correctly is vital in the effort to make a good impression. It was reported recently that employers rejected the vast majority of 1 ,000 job applications submitted by graduates simply because of bad spelling.
Could our use of technology be the reason for bad spelling? Although not proven,there have been concerns in recent years that the rise of text messaging and “chatspeak” used in social media could be leading to a reduction in literacy,as abbreviations(缩写) become commonly used by children. Opinions differ on this possibility. Some research suggests that this may not necessarily be true,but other studies have shown that in some cases it is a cause for concern.
But the end of school education may be too late. Obviously,the main time for learning is during childhood when most people can achieve a reasonable level of spelling to help their overall literacy. But it is perhaps surprising that many adults have extremely poor spelling and struggle with common words such as embarrass,occasion and restaurant.
