35、am, Saturday.BToday, we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare. He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Gr
36、eek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeares play The Comedy of Errors Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play Macbeth, Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history
37、by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity(强度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by
38、 the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the citys tradesmen. Shakespeares knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descri
39、ptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeares works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his
40、time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of “critic”, “mountaineer” and “eyeball”. Many common ex
41、pressions in English come from his plays, including “pomp and circumstance（装腔作势）”from Othello, “full circle（绕圈子地）” from King Lear, etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shake
42、speares plays have been translated into every major language in the world.Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater.

45、 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a childs lie is different from an adults lie, and how the way we deceivechang
46、es as we grow.“Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study. He has spent the last 15 years studying how l
47、ying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden camer
48、as. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the childs back. Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the
49、 test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didnt. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.Researchers have found that its kids with better understanding abilities who li
50、e more. Thats because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie and lie successfully is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so call
51、ed “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.63. Whats the purpose of children telling lies?A. To help their friends out. B. To get rid of trouble.C. To get attention from others.D. To
52、create a popular image.64. The underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “_”.A. tell lies B. handle troublesC. raise questions D. do research65.

53、tell liesD. how lying changes as kids grow66. What is NOT included in the passage?A. The reasons why kids tell lies.B. Which kind of kids tells more lies.C. Experiments about lying of young kids.D. What to do with lying children.DAs a contestant on The X Factor, 13-year-old Rachel Crow seemed to hav
54、e exactly what it took to win: strong praise from judges, a beautiful voice, and a lovable personality. Then she was voted off. When the results were read, Rachel broke down, sobbing and screaming for her mom, who had to rush onstage to comfort her. It was a humiliating moment for Rachel, but a grea
55、t moment for The X Factor just the kind of drama TV audiences love. Some fans said Rachels breakdown proved she was too young to be on the show. And though nothing exceptional happened to other children who take part in reality TV at Rachels age children and teens appear in everything from Dance Mom
56、s to The Biggest Loser Rachels meltdown did raise an important question: Should kids be on reality TV at all? Many psychologists are saying “No”. Its well known that early fame can be harmful and that many former child stars struggle as adults. Being followed by photographers all day and having ever
57、ything they do reported in newspapers and blogs can be hard for young people to deal with. It can make them feel as though their worth depends on what others say. Reality TV takes the pressure of early fame to a whole new level. Kids on reality TV dont play characters. They play themselves. Cameras
58、expose their most private moments for our entertainment. Laws exist that protect child actors, making sure they go to school and limiting the hours they can work. In many states, though, these laws do not apply to kids on reality TV, because they are not considered actors. Dangers aside, theres no d
59、oubt that reality shows do offer exciting opportunities and the potential to make money. A 7-year-old girl who attends a TV show earns about $36,000 per season. After competing on The X Factor, The band One Direction went on to become international stars. Even Rachel made out OK. She released an alb

64、s of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.One reason is that if we give up too easily
65、, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.Another reason we should never give up is
66、 that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.
67、 If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we gi
68、ve up, we have no chance of attaining our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Topic: Never Give UpPossibleMeaningsand theauthorsopinionsThe words “Never give up” can (71)_ others or oneself and express ones determination.A person

Firstly, its more e
76、ffective to study with a teachers help than by themselves. Secondly, students can make up for what they miss or fail to understand in class on weekdays. Besides, they can have more chances and time to communicate with teachers. However, others dont think so. For one thing, students can easily develo
77、p the habit of dependence, causing some students not to listen attentively in their regular classes. For another, students need time for rest and recreation at weekends. Whats worse, attending training classes means costing them much money. In my opinion, whether a training class or a tutor is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a subject, maybe its necessary for you. But be sure to choose a suitable class or teacher, otherwise, it would be a waste of time and money. 版权所有：高考资源网()
