Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare's writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!
There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.

第一篇 Shakespeare
When talking about the world's greatest poet and greatest dramatist, only one name can possible suggest itself;that of William Shakespeare. Nearly every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of this greatest writer. We use words, phrases and quotations form. Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use. For example, and old lady, after seeing a performance of Hamlet complained, “It was full of well-known proverbs and quotations!”
Shakespeare made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman) to appreciate the richness and variety of the english language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort, even thought some aspects of English and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day. It is a pity that we know so little about the life of the greatest English author. We only know that he was born in 1564 in Stratford on-Avon, and that then died there in 1616. He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town, but of this we cannot be sure. We know he was married there in 1582 and had three children. We know that he spent much of his life in London, writing his masterpieces. But this is almost all that we do know.
However, what is important about Shakespeare's life is not its incidental details but its products, the plays and the poems. For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare's life to the small number we already posses and for an equally long time critics have been theorizing about the plays. Sometimes indeed, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear beneath the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.
Fortunately this is not likely to happen. Shakespeare's poetry and Shakespeare's characters(Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet and all the others) have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and commentators and all their works have been forgotten.
31 How can we best describe the popularity of Shakespeare's works among the English speaking people?
A Most of the people have taken courses in Shakespeare's works.
B The English-speaking people like to mention the names of Shakespeare's works.
C Most of the people know clearly how to use the words and phrases from Shakespeare's works.
D Many of the words and phrases used by the English-speaking people are taken from Shakespeare's works.

根据以下内容回答题:
Expectations for personal relationships differ greatly across cultures.It is important to know that most AmericanS value close friendships,they also value privacy and independence.From an American perspective,to have privacy or to give someone privacy is considered posi-tive.Yet。when the word“privacy”is translated into other languages(e.g.Russian,Arabic,and Japanese).it has more of a negative meaning.(In these languages“privacy”means aloneness or loneliness.)Therefore,the American’s need for privacy is sometimes judged negatively by those who have not been raised with the value of individualism.some Americans are isolated from others because they have taken their independence and privacy to an extreme.Others simply like spending time alone or at least having the freedom to avoid socializing if they choose. In any true friendship,whatever the culture may be, a person is expected to show interest and concen in a friend’S serious problems.But how does one show this across cuhures?It is not possible to generalize about Americans because there are SO manv varieties of Americans.but it is possible to say that many foreigners or newcomers from different cultures have felt disappointed by Americans.A common occurrence is when an American does not Dhone or visit as much.as the foreigner expects.If someone from another culture is having a serious problem,Americans may say,“Let me know if there’s anything l.can do to help.”If the Americans do not receive.a specific request,they may feel that there’s nothing they can do.In this case.They may call every now and then to stay in touch.The friend from a different culture,on the other hand,may be expecting“sympathy calls or frequent visits,and may not hesitate to demon.strate a dependence on a friend.Many Americans arc uncomfortable whrn people become too dependent.
What do Americans lay emphasis on concerning expectations for personal relationships?
A.Close friendships.
B.Privacy.
C.Valuable culture.
D.Both A and B.
