My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via the telephone for a well-known
company. One day, I was put through to a man who sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal
pitch (音高), expecting to hear the normal reply —"I don’t want any."
Instead, he spoke in a faint, weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering, but
he couldn’t because he was dying of illness. He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then, and it took
almost all his energy to answer the call. He asked if I smoked, which I did, and begged me to stop. He told me
smoking was what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them how
much I love them. At this point, I couldn’t control myself. We ended the call, but I held on my phone to
prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.
I wrote down his name and address, and sent him a card appreciating his advice and praying for him and
his family. Shortly after, I received a letter from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We
continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old
enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was. About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I started to read, tears came to my eyes. She
told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before the
Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank, and explained how Frank touched many lives over
the years. At his funeral, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he
affected a 19-year-old he’d never met.
21． The author was then probably working for ______.
A. a travel agency B. a cigarette company
C. an e-shopping store D. a vacation school
22．The underlined part "collect myself" in the second paragraph probably means "_______".
A. gather together B. comfort myself
C. relax myself D. calm down
23． We can learn from the text that the author ________.
A. took down Frank’s name and address to visit him in person
B. was warmly welcomed by her customers when she called them
C. didn’t stop smoking even though Frank asked him to
D. kept in touch with Frank through letters until he died
24．At Frank’s funeral the author’s 1st letter to Frank was read in order to ____.
A. encourage people to fight against disease and live bravely
B. indicate that Frank touched many people’s hearts
C. show the good relationship between Frank and the author
D. praise Frank and give thanks to the author

Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，made full use of the greatest resources of the English
language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in
his works used about twentyfive thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the
richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.
Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many
words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.
However, it is surprising that we should know comparatively (相对地) little about the life of the greatest
English author. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in StratfordonAvon，and that he died there in

that he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children. We know that he spent
much of his life in London writing his masterpieces. But this is almost all that we do know.
However, what is important about Shakespeare's life is not its details but its products, the plays and the
poems. For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare's life to the small
number we already possess and for an equally long time critics (批评) have been theorizing (理论化) about
the plays. Sometimes，indeed，it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of
