In Englands capital, the London Shakespeare Centre and Kings College London are holding a series of public performances, exhibitions and activities. It isnt just England that honors the
13、 anniversary of the death of this extraordinary writer. In Washington, D. C., the Folger Shakespeare Library, which houses the worlds largest collection of documents relating to William Shakespeare, is displaying a series of exhibitions.Shakespeare is probably the most famous author who ever lived a
14、n is considered a genius by most. He wrote around 37 plays and 154 sonnets(十四行诗), and his work has been translated into over one hundred languages! He penned beautiful metaphors(暗喻), serious dramas and amusing tales.Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrases. If someones behavior suggested
15、 they were not being honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called their actions suspicious. If someone was being silly and perhaps looking like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And Shakespeare called people who offered their opinions on the quality of something critics. Tod
16、ay, for instance, food critics and film critics give audiences their opinions of food and film. The familiar phrase “break the ice” comes from Shakespeares play The Taming of the Shrew. The “ice is broken” when a difficult conversation or meeting is calmed by some basic introduction, such as a simpl
17、e game. More common words coined by Shakespeare include road, gossip, lonely, bump and hurry.Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare surely lives on, in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time!21.

20、 that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. Th
21、ey hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do mak
22、e an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speechI Have a Dream, you may notice that he stumbles (结巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attent
23、ion on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the
24、listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly.

28、h C. Dont Expect Mistakes in a Speech D. How to Make a Perfect SpeechCYou hear the same complaint all the time: “My memory is terrible” Is it all in the mind, or do real changes take place in the brain with the passing of time? The answer is that the brains cells, the neurons, decline and die with a
29、ge. However, according to Professor Arthur Shimamura of the University of California, people vary greatly in how they change mentally with age, as well as how much their mental ability declinesThere are three main ways in which mental function changesThe first concerns speed, such as how quickly you
30、 can react to fast-moving incidents on the road. Drivers in their late teen react quickly but often drive too fast, while the over-60s are more careful but react more slowlyThis type of mental slowing results from a reduction in the efficiency with which the brains neurons workThe fact that adults f
31、ind it harder to learn musical instrument than children points to a second type of mental decline, the loss of learning ability with ageThe part of the brain which is known to control new learning is particularly sensitive to the effects of agingThe means we have to depend more on diaries and other

Absent-mindedness occurs at all ages because of imperfections in the working memory systemFor example, y
33、ou may continually lose your glasses, or find yourself walking into a room of your house only to find that you cannot remember what you came forSuch absent-mindedness also occurs more often as we get olderHowever, evidence also shows that the principle “use it or lose it” applies to the aging brainP
34、rofessor Shimamura studied a group of university professors who were still mentally active, and compared their performance on neuropsychological tests with that of others of their age group, as well as with younger people. He found that on several tests of memory, the mentally active professors in t
35、heir 60s and early 70s performed better than those of the same age, and as well as the younger group28Memory gets worse as people grow older because _A. the brain starts to produce too many neurons B. cells in the brain stop the neurons from workingC. when people get old, they complain too much D. t

To gain that lo
42、ve would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozarts and Bachs shouldnt be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when youve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk
