But this years surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recogniz
28、able portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. Its very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one, said an expert from Britains National Portrait Gallery.
29、 The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image commonly known as the Flower portrait was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeares death. The art experts who
30、 work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814.

31、his was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeares plays, Tarnya Cooper, the gallerys curator (馆长), told the Associated President.The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays.

32、o the Royal Shakespeare Company.There have always been questions about the painting, said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.Two other images of Shakespeare, are also be
33、ing studied as part of the investigation (调查) and the results will come out later this month.56. What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?A.

We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. Were definitely closer. A popular movement
50、of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, Parents and children began talking to
51、 each other in ways they had not before. On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of. But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their
52、 child wanted. The power shifted to children. Parents said, I have to focus on making my child happy, as opposed to I have to act as a parent most appropriately. Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow. Time-short parents encourage childrens independence, making them more re
53、sponsible for themselves. Theyll say, We trust you to make the right decisions (whether theyre ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,says Billingham. The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原动力). Some parents worry that if they tell their chi

The importance of self-esteem and ways to develop childrens self-esteem. D. The risks of setting no rules and some suggestions on how to
58、have a balanced attitude.70. Whats the best title for the text? A. Parents and Children as Friends. B. Parents and Professors as Debaters. C. Growing Mutual Understanding. D. Disappearing Responsibility.DNowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves. We have no time
59、to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us - between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and ther
60、e - are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because were so busy communicating. Maybe thats why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long w
61、alks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cell phones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibit greater attentiveness, stronger memory and generally improved cognition.

63、t yet used a cell phone and Ive never Tweeted or entered Face book. I try not to go online till my days writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan. None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义): its just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better-calmer, clearer
64、and happier-than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. Its actually something deeper than mere happiness: its joy, which the monk David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesnt depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we hav
65、e been longing for-The Joy of Quiet.71.The writer sometimes doesnt do anything because _.A. he is out of work . B. whatever he does make no sense C. he is worried about his writing.
