William ShakespeareOf all the famous English writers，probably the bestknown is William Shakespeare.He was born in Stratford­upon­Avon in 1564 on April23rd.His father was an important man in the town soShakespeare had a good upbringing.Shakespeare probablywent to school (although no records survive to provethis)but not university.He got married when he was 18 toAnne Hathaway and the couple had 3 children.Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets (a sonnet is a kind of poem)．He began working in his hometown of Stratford but by 1592 was writing in London.He became rich enough to buy a house in the capital and one in Stratford.He wrote sad stories called tragedies，like Romeo and Juliet，funny stories or comedies，romantic stories and stories about historical figures such as Julius Caesar.Shakespeare died on his birthday in 1616，almost 400 years ago.But why are his works still popular today?His works looked at common human themes，such as betrayal，murder，lust，power，ambition and love.These themes are as much a part of human nature today as they were all those years ago and are the themes we see in modern soap operas and Hollywood films.Even though his theatre，The Globe，was burned down in 1613，it was rebuilt in London in 1997 and you can still see his plays performed there today.Shakespeare's influence on the English language can still be felt today.We talk about “fair play”，meaning honest behaviour but this phrase was first used by Shakespeare.He coined the phrase “you can have too much of a good thing”．And it was Shakespeare who came up with the expression to disappear “into thin air” whichwe still use today when we lose something.Shakespeare's works have been translated into every major language in the world.And perhaps we'll still be as fascinated by his works 400 years from now as we've been for almost the last 400.[阅读障碍词]1．upbringing n．养育2．lust n. 欲望[诱思导读]根据短文内容，完成下列问题1．How long did Shakespeare live?52 years.2．Why are Shakespeare's works still popular today?Because his works looked at common human themes.SectionⅠWarming Up，Pre-reading& ReadingⅠ.匹配下列单词的词性及汉语意思()1.scene A．v.低声地说；耳语()2.cruel B．adj.绝望的()3.eager C．n.场景；场面()4.appetite D．v.绞死；吊死()5.whisper E．adj.冷酷的()6.desperate F．v.抓住()7.seize G．n.酬谢；奖赏；赏金()8.reward H．n.胃口；食欲()9.serve I．v.端上(饭菜等)()10.hang J．adj.热切的；渴望的[答案]1－5CEJHA6－10BFGIDⅡ.选择下列句中词组的汉语意思2．She picked out the bad ones from all the apples.3．They disagreed with each other about the time and place of the accident.4．In order to spread the news，the school put up a notice on the wall.5．Make sure you understand these requirements.6．He told me the bad news in a low voice so nobody got it.7．He looked at me in astonishment.8．Hold on to the rope，or you will fall off the cliff.[答案]1－4BFHA5－8GEDCOliver Asks for MoreThe room in which the boys were fed was a large stone hall，with a large pot at one end.①The warden(管理员)，helped by two women②，served the soup from this pot(锅) at meal times.Each boy was allowed one bowl of soup and no more，except on special holidays when he was given another 60grams of bread③.The bowls never needed washing，as the boys cleaned them with their spoons，trying to eat every bit of soup④.This never took very long，as the spoons were almost as large as the bowls.When they had cleaned their bowls in this way，they would sit staring at the pot with eager eyes⑤，as if they wanted to eat it.Boys usually have excellent appetites.Oliver Twist and his companions slowly starved for three months until finally，they became quite wild with hunger.奥利弗还要更多孩子们吃饭的场所是一间宽敞的大石厅，一口巨大的锅放在大厅一侧。
