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 pe

ople 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 (剥皮) a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.
小题1:Find a sentence from the text which can explain the title.
___________________________________________________________________
小题2:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words to complete the sentence. (within 5 words)
___________________________________________________________________
小题3:Why are the adaptations of great works popular?

___________________________________________________________________
小题4:Do you think it necessary t

o read the original? Why? (within 30 words)

答案

小题1:Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language.
小题2:it is compulsory/required
小题3:They may help increase people’s interest in the classic.
小题4:Yes, it is. Reading the original, we can really grasp the spirits of his works and can enjoy its language. (Answers may vary.)
小题5:读他（莎士比亚）作品的改写本就如同将香蕉剥皮后，弃其肉而食其皮。

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m.   21   my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel.   22 , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason,   23 , I went ahead and answered.
The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I   24 , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not   25   why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only   26   listed in the phone book. He said his name was Mason and that he was the   27  at the Best Western Hotel. The   28   was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t   29   any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n)   30   guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man in charge there was   31  because my grandfather seemed to be   32 . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and   33  100 miles from home.
Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to   34   him to the police station, Mason,   35  any normal duty, not only took the time to   36   me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could   37  safely and comfortably overnight. (The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all   38   him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
So, it’s just one more piece of   39   that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who   40 .
