Song of Tomorrow
Tomorrow and Tomorrow again
O How many tomorrows are then
If we wait always for another day，
In vain our life will pass away.
Make no delay（推迟）in doing anything，
Or you'll grow old when autumn comes after spring!
If you watch water flow eastwards at dawn
And see at dusk the sun go down，
Even a hundred years old，you can't be free from sorrow.
Why don't you listen to my Song of Tomorrow
Song of Tomorrow is quite well-known in China，especially the first four lines.Many people，even children can recite them.However，no one knows who wrote the poem.Some say it was a Ming Dynasty （朝代）（1368-1644）poet.Others say the poem was written during the Qing Dynasty
（1644-1911）.There are even different versions of the poem.But this doesn't lose its key message—Do not waste time or life.
The language is simple in this poem.The poet uses the word "tomorrow" several times to pass on the poem's message：Don't delay what should be done today.
There are many people who consider（认为）themselves as procrastinators（有拖延症的人）. They comfort（安慰）themselves with the classic line from Gone with the wind：After all，tomorrow is another day!But these people would do well if they remember the poem Song of Tomorrow.
27.  What's the main idea of Paragraph 1 below the poem？______
