16．IT is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw （1856-1950），the Irish-born writer，is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today．Few of Shaw's more than 60 plays，novels and essays are performed or read anymore．And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world．Although you'd be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today，in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues，not only in Britain but on the stage of the world．In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain．
Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment，Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day．The plight （苦难） of the poor and the working class，the situation of women and the institutions of society，such as the education system----Shaw was among the most well-known figures making these topics central to public debate．His first play，Widowers'Houses （1892），deals with the question of slum （贫民窟） housing．His Mrs Warren's Profession （1893）brought a controversial topic to the stage．
Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too．He was an early member of the Fabian Society，which argued for the socialist cause in the UK．Shaw was also the founder （in 1895）of one of the now most famous colleges in the world，the London School of Economics．
If few of his works have really stood the test of time，many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language．"Youth is wasted on the young，"he wrote．He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy（哲学） in a few memorable words．For instance："A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul．"

63．Shaw's influence on the modern world comes mainly fromA．
A．the changes he brought to the British culture
B．his philosophies on the role of government
C．his awareness of social problems of his day
D．the support for the London School of Economics
64．Widowers'Houses is a play that mainly focuses onB．
A．the failure of the UK education system

A．have become the best part of English
B．have greatly developed the English language
C．have made the English language philosophical
D．have become an inseparable part of the English language

13．My teacher，Mr．August J．Bachmann，was the most influential teacher I ever had．
I had gotten into trouble in his class：Another student had pushed me for fun，and I became angry and began to hit him．Mr．Bachmannthe fight，but instead of sending me to the office，he sat me down and asked a simple question："Penna，why are you wasting your life？Why aren't you going to college？"
I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships．No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future．That day，instead of rushing off for lunch，he stayed and explained possible education options to me．At the end of our talk，he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college．This was in 1962at Emerson High School in Union City，New Jersey．
Well，53years have passed，and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me？I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29．I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal（校长）．
I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations．I've won a number of great educational awards．But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me？It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward．
I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher．If I have saved any children，it is because of him．If I have been a successful educator，it is because I had a great role model in Mr．Bachmann．

24．The writerC before Mr．Bachmann talked to him．

B．liked making troubles in class．

5．My stay in New York
  After graduation from university，I had been unable to secure a permanent job in my small town．So I decided to leave home for New York，（25）where I might have a better chance to find a good job．（26）To earn （earn） some money to pay the daily expenses，I started work in a local café as a waiter．I believed that （27）if I was offered a good position，I would resign at once．
  Over time，the high cost of living became a little burden on my already （28）exhausted （exhaust） shoulders．On the other hand，my search for a respectable job had not met with much success．As I had studied literature at university，I found it quite difficult to secure a suitable job in big companies．Mother had said that （29）if I wanted to have a better career advancement，I had to find work in the city．Perhaps，（30）What my mother had told me was deeply rooted in my mind．I just did as she had expected．
  Soon I had lived in the city for over six months but I still did not like it．Apparently，I had difficulty （31）adapting （adapt） myself to life in the city，let alone finding a job to my delight．After nine months of frustration．I eventually decided to go back to my small town．Not until I returned （32）did I realise that a quiet town life was the best for me．

19．Ray Charles was born on September 23rd，1930into a poor family in Georgia，U．S．A．His father was a railway man who had to travel a lot，so Ray was brought up mainly by his mother，who，though not very well educated，was full of common sense．When he went blind after a serious sickness at the age of seven，it was his mother who helped him to face up to the situation．She told him he was blind，not stupid，and that he had lost his eyes but not his mind，she made him sweep floors and chop wood to show him he was by no means helpless．She used to tell him that some day she would not be there to help him，and that then he would have to look after himself．
Soon after he went blind，Ray began to take an interest in music．A neighbour showed him how to play simple tunes on the piano，and he had a love for the music he heard，played and sung in the local church．In the blind school the schoolteachers encouraged him to study a variety of instruments，Then，one more blow came．His mother died suddenly，and Ray，who loved her deeply，was so shocked that for two weeks he was unable to eat．It was another neighbour who finally managed to persuade him that his mother would have wanted him to go on，and reminded him of how she had believed in him．When his father died a year later，Ray knew he was strong enough to keep going on his own．
Between the ages of fifteen and seventeen，Ray worked with bands in Florida，but in 1948，while still only seventeen，he decided that there wasn't much future for him there and decided to go to Seattle，in the north-west of the U．S．A．
Ray arrived in Seattle and went to a small hotel to sleep．When he woke up，he was hungry．It was two o'clock in the morning，and everywhere was closed．Ray managed to find a small club and knocked on the door．A man on the door said they had no food，but"we've got a talent night on here，"he added．Ray saw his chance and told the man he could play the piano and sing．The man tried to discourage him，but he was finally guided to the piano and sang a song．As he came off the stand，a man stopped him and said，"I'm from the Elks Club．I think you've got a weekend job．"That was Tuesday．By Friday he was working regularly，and after that he never looked back．It was the beginning of his climb to stardom．
