When people enjoy the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival, a famous ancient poem, written by Su Shi, is often read. The story of the poem dates back to the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1076. Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, couldn't sleep that night. For seven years, he had been separated from his brother. Looking at the moon and thinking of his brother, he wrote the poem. Here are some famous lines.
Men have sorrow and joy, and they part or meet again;
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax (月满) or wane.
There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.
So let us wish that man will live long as he can!
Though miles apart, we'll share the beauty she displays.
In the first two lines above, the writer compares the life of a man to the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture, a full moon symbolizes perfection and getting together. However, in the poem the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones.
In the poem, before the comparison, Su Shi complains about the “ruthless(无情的)” moon and asks her, “Why when people part, are you often full and bright?” However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride, just like the moon may not always be bright. That's why the poet says “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days”.
But should we stand still with things that we can't make a difference to? Su Shi gives his answer: Change your mind and stay positive. So, we have the last line of the poem. The poet hopes people can avoid losing in the sadness of life and instead, enjoy the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they can all admire the same moon and share this beauty.
1. What's the Chinese title of the poem talked about in the passage?

B.《山居秋暝》

B. His family went through a hard time.
C. He hadn't seen his brother for seven years.
D. He was sent to a faraway place as an official.
3. Su Shi compared people's life to ____ in the poem.
A. the rising of the sun
B. the beautiful flowers
C. the changing face of the moon
D. the different sizes of moon cakes
4. We can infer that Su Shi was full of ____ when writing the underlined sentence.
