     Today, we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare. He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.
     During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It
was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in
Shakespeare's play "The Comedy of Errors" Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient
Roman writer Plautus. For his play "Macbeth", Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history
by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the
intensity(強度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.
     Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of
London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city's tradesmen. Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural
people.
     It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world
culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his
time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added.
Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework
old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of "critic", "mountaineer" and "eyeball". Many common
expressions in English come from his plays, including "pomp and circumstance(裝腔作勢)"from "Othello", "full circle(繞圈子地)" from "King Lear", etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is
almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented.
Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.
     Shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid
off.
1. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.
B. Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.
C. The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.
D. Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.
2. Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in   .
A. "King Lear"    
B. "The Comedy of Errors"  
C. "Macbeth"    
D. "Othello"
3. Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time?
A. Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.
B. Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.
C. Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.
D. Because his works were rich in imagination and language.
4. Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on   .
A. the English language  
B. paintings      
C. television    
D. music and dance
5. The passage is mainly about    .
A. an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his works
B. the main features and styles of Shakespeare's plays
C. how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture.
D. Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world culture.

     Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big,
noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the
countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(鄉(xiāng)下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
     In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two
large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area
begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need
schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.

offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see
many huge skyscrapers(摩天大樓)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way
