A poet is in his words

The writings of William Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britian. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.

 Still, in British schools, ____________ to study the poet, and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment or both. Shakespeare, Chareles Dickens, Jane Austen-for many of the young, reading them can seem like being forced to eat medicine, especially when people are at an age when they are beginning to discover themselves and wanting to claim their independence.

 This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.

 I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught the subject in universities in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books.

 You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classic.

 Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual play. If that is the case then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language. Reading someone else’s rewriting of his work is like peeling (剝皮) a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.

     Students often say to me,"I don't know any history. I think it would be a good thing to learn some."What
they seem to mean is that they have never had a"course" about history or read. any history books. But they are
greatly mistaken if they think " they don' t know any history". Every man, woman, and child knows some
history, enough at least to live in the world.
     Suppose you had awakened this morning totally unable to remember anything-all your other senses working
properly, but ____. You would be in a bad way indeed! You wouldn't know who you were, or where you were, what you had done yesterday, or what you intended of other people expected you to do today. What could you
do in that case? Wander about helplessly, seeing and hearing things, taking them in as altogether new, not at all
knowing what they might mean in relation either to the past or to the future. You would have to discover your
little world all over again, much as you discovered it in childhood. You would have to" adapt (適應(yīng))" yourself
and make a new start. In short, you would be a lost soul because you had stopped to have any knowledge of
history, the history of your personal doings and associations(聯(lián)系 ) in the past. The fact is that history is no
more than things said and done in the past.

閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求。答案寫在答卷紙上)

Learning to save money when you're young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people—adults included—do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.

I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.

Making sure you save and don't spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.

At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a job, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.

After high school, college is expensive and then "real" life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier. ________________, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.

Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.

Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.

Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.

In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.

77. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

As long as you save early, you’ll do less work to live well at your old age.
