1、   Who is the greatest English writer? The person should be William Shakespeare (莎士比亚). His popular expressions like “to be or not to be, that is a question” are spread everywhere在他的一生中，他写了大量的作品。

Willam Shakespeare was born in a small town in England in 1564. He was educated at the King’s New School, a free grammar school that was located in Stratford. There he studied the basic Latin text and grammar. 据说在学校，比起数学他更喜欢学习语言。 Later, he moved to London and began to work as a writer. By 1594, he had become an important writer in London.

Whether comedies or tragedies (悲剧), Shakespeare’s plays always touch people’s hearts. His comedies make a joke on human weaknesses and always have happy endings. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, fairies (仙子). play magical tricks on people who get lost in the woods. His tragedies, however, can be very dark. Macbeth tells the story about a man who becomes a king by killing a lot of people.

Of course, Shakespeare wrote his plays over 400 years ago. His English is very different from that of today. But it doesn’t influence his popularity. His plays which have been translated into other languages are also popular in the world.

William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616. He was 52 years old at the time of his death. But Shakespeare truly has a great influence on English and even many other languages.

24、   We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though, we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.

In fact, this is one of the ways that we’re tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let’s have a look.

First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative(消极的)emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of(忘记)time.

Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 metres into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.

This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline(肾上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that

we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.

Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps. Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive(感知)time again.

Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.

【1】According to the passage,_________ possibly make people feel so long.

A. weekends and holidays B. weekends and work C. classes and work D. holidays and work

【2】How many examples of being tricked by time are mentioned in

A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five

【3】According to the passage, what will NOT happen when we face danger?

A. Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.

B. We will feel that time seems to go more slowly.

C. Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.

D. We will forget far more details over a short period of time.

【4】If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, it will __________.

A. make us concentrate more on the passage of time B. make us lose track of time

C. take a moment before we can correctly perceive time again D. take us 20 minutes to tell what time it is

【5】Where can we find this passage?

A. In a storybook. B. In a health report. C. In a science magazine. D. In a travel guide.

25、At the beginning of the 19th century there were about 100,000 tigers in the world. But today it is less than 8,000.
