Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．He wrote thirty-seven plays in all． 　　2．答案：In l578． 　　解析：根据“He was born in l564 in England．”和“He decided to be an actor when he finished school at the age of fourteen．”可知莎士比亚l4岁时是1578年。 　　3．答案：alone 　　解析：画线句子意思为“在1585年，莎士比亚离开他的家乡斯特拉特福，把他的妻子和孩子留了下来”。因此他是单独离开的家乡。alone是副词，修饰动词left。 　　4．acting 　　5．when he was fifty-two
