William Shakespeare was the greatest English writer of all time. He wrote thirty-seven plays in all. His stories are almost known in every comer of the world.
William Shakespeare was bom in Stratford,a small town in England,in 1564. He decided to be an actor when he finished school at the age of fourteen. In 1582,he married the 26-year-old Anne Hathaway who was a farmer's daughter. Their first child was a daughter. Later they had twins. In 1585,Shakespeare left his hometown. His wife and children stayed behind. No one knows why he left or what he did between 1585 and 1592. These years are called “the lost years”. In his youth,he moved to London and began a career as a playwright. By 1594,he had become a key playwright of a popular acting company in the city.
Although Shakespeare is famous as a playwright,he once was an actor and poet. He usually acted in his own plays. He earned almost no money from his writing. But he made a lot of money from acting. At the age of forty-nine,Shakespeare retired. Shakespeare spent the last five years of his life in Stratford. He died on 23 April 1616.
Of course,Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago and his English was very different from that of today. He is a master of words. He coined about 1 ,700 English words,including everyday ones like “ lonely ” and “hurry,”according to the New York Post.

Do you love taking photos with a camera? People who always take photos may actually be harming their memory,because they’re not concentrating on the event itself.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly (不费心思地) to catch a moment,and they are missing what is happening right in front of them ,” said Linda Henkel,from the university. Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened a visitor's memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum,and either take photos of the items on display,or try to remember them. The next day,the group was tested.
People who took photos in the museum were less likely to remember what they had seen. In addition,the amount of detail they remembered was worse than those who didn't take photos. “These results show how the mind's eye and the camera's eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don't put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event,compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo,just think： is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes,or behind the eye of the camera?
1. When we take photos,we .
A. fail to focus on the event itself
B. can't record the details
C. remember what we have seen
D. are likely to have a poor memory
2. The underlined word “weakened” in the passage probably means “”.
A. 支持 B. 抚养
C. 增强 D. 减弱
3. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?
A. It aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
B. They asked a group to take photos of everything in the museum.
C. People who didn't take photos did better in the experiment.
D. People who took photos in the museum could remember more details.
4. Where can we probably read this passage?
A. The entrance of a museum.
B. A scientific report.
C. An instruction of how to use a camera.
D. A guidebook on how to take good pictures.

Jenny Gonzalez is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles,the US,is taking care of three green abalones (鲍鱼) at school.

I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight,in the dark,I would finally take it away. If everything went OK,it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one,not even my wife,saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10：30 pm was not early. As usual,I read them a bed time story,but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came,and feeling like a thief in the night,I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end,I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working,trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer.
After much effort,my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.
