  Mr William Shakespeare and the Internet

Explanation of Contents

This is the fourth edition of these pages. It is hard to believe, but once again they are new and improved. My motive in publishing these pages remains to help and stimulate others in Shakespeare studies, and especially those who might contribute their work to the Internet. The spirit of altruism (利他主义) that originally built the Internet is not quite gone, though, sadly, through the pressure of time and profit has lessened.

A major new addition to the pages is a Shakespeare Timeline, which is an online biography mounted at this site. The problems with searching for Shakespeare resources using the available Search Engines are:

---- It is difficult to focus most searches so that you get a manageable number of relevant hits;

---- It is impossible by simply reading an abstract to make any distinction between the output of a Junior High School student and that of a professional researcher.

Another change in these pages over previous editions is the “What’s News” page.  If you come away from these pages with the feeling that they are very useful but slightly pedantic (学究的), I will have realized my goal.

An Apology

I am continually apologizing to the many who have written me requesting revisions of the pages. We are all too busy. I simply have not had the time to dedicate to these pages that I wish. But I love the material and so have, at long last, made some time to update them.

A Reminder to Young Students

These pages contain the best links I can find to Shakespeare on the Internet. As a reminder, I would say I very much enjoy hearing from people who view and use these pages. If you want to do Shakespeare research using the web, this page is a great starting point, and I keep it as current as I can. The web is in its infancy in bringing good, scholarly content to students. Don’t forget the best, if not quickest, resources are still in your library.

57. The passage is written to ____.

   A. introduce the fourth edition of these pages

   B. make an apology to readers

   C. show off these pages to readers

   D. let Shakespeare researchers buy these pages

58. Which of the following is the new addition to the pages?

   A. The writer’s apology.     

   B. Search Engines.

   C. A Shakespeare Timeline.

   D. Receiving readers’ e-mails.

59. When searching for Shakespeare resources using Search Engines, you ____.

   A. will waste some time in finding what you want

   B. can easily recognize what the abstract means

   C. will often come into the “What’s News” pages

   D. will find something special on your computers

60. Which of the following can best conclude the last paragraph?

   A. The writer will often read letters from those who use these pages.

   B. The writer of the passage is very selfish.

   C. The web was just created four years ago.

   D. Shakespeare researchers should first of all refer to these pages.

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（学会）of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm（热情） for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality（准时）for meals. In general, the controls imposed（强加的）represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community（社区）as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.  Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach（说教）, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

According to a recent survey, Canadian parents realize their role as protectors and providers to raise their children both emotionally and physically. That’s not very different from the way our parents saw themselves. But with more two-career families and busy schedules, one thing parents today recognize more than ever is the need to set aside special time for their children. These ‘nurturing moments’ are changed into memories that they will treasure all their lives. Nurturing moments might be the time between our work and life,bringing your child to work with you to see what you do during the day,visiting your child’s make-believe world,discussing his other school day and exploring the natural world outside your door.

These times are not merely a luxury (奢侈), they’re a necessity. It’s during these moments that parents pass values and attitudes to their children. Over time, children pick up good habits and positive self-image.

Here are a few tips for making the most of your family time together:

Regularly sit down as a family to share a meal. Allow each person to describe something interesting about his or her day.

Make one night a week family night. Family members take turns choosing a special activity for the evening everyone partakes in the fun.

Show your children you care about their interests by having them teach you about their activity or hobby.

Nurturing healthy children involves body, mind and spirit. The little things you do to your care are the building blocks for confidence, self-esteem and a healthy outlook. By giving your children these tools, you prepare them for life.

1.Present-day parents are different from those in the past mainly because________.

    A．they need more time to spend on their children

    B．they pay more attention to their children’s health

    C．they are much busier with their work

2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to ‘nurturing moment’?

    A．The time between work and everyday activities.

    B．The time when you are busy with your work.

    C．The time when you play with children.

    D．The time when you show your care for your child．

3.．We can infer that “visiting your child’s make-believe world” ________.

A．is a luxury for parents                

B．is a necessity for parents

C．is good to the imagination of the children 

D．benefits the healthy growth of the children

4.The purpose of the author in writing this article is________.

A．to persuade and advise　             B．to argue and instruct

Psychiatrists(精神病专家)，who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset(资产) in child raising----older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with children. But raising kids takes money and energy, many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest and often unspoken fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.

Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s  also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that, young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.”

Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.” Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist .But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says .

Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility(受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.”

Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”

1.Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child raising?

A Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands.

B Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.

C Older parents are often better prepared financially.

D Older parents can take better care of their children.

2.What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”

A They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.

B They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.

C They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.

D They are unwilling to retire when they reach their retirement age

3.The author gives the examples of Henry Metcalf to show that______.

A many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age

B taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy

C older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies

D older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children

4.What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?

A Being laughed at by other people           B Slowing down of their pace of life

C Being mistaken for grandparents           D Approaching of death

5.What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?

A They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment

B Not until they had the twins did they feel had formed a family

C They believe that children born of older parents would be smarter.

D Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.

 

 

    In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill in the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.

    Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.

    As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency(一致性) is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
