A poet is in his words

The writings of William Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britian. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.

Still, in British schools, ____________ to study the poet, and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment or both. Shakespeare, Chareles Dickens, Jane Austen－for many of the young, reading them can seem like being forced to eat medicine, especially when people are at an age when they are beginning to discover themselves and wanting to claim their independence.

This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.

I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught the subject in universities in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books.

You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classic.

Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual play. If that is the case then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language. Reading someone else’s rewriting of his work is like peeling (剥皮) a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.

Find a sentence from the text which can explain the title.

Joe Templer should have known better. After all, he works for a large auto insurance company. It won't hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, he thought, as he filled his gas tank at a self service gas station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.

In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States one every 20 seconds. If _________________, experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.

Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.

Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of the thefts. It is a major money maker for organized crime. Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.

Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation（缓刑）, not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.

One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.

77 Why do you think Joe Templer should be blamed according to the writer? (Please answer within 10 words.)

阅读下面短文回答问题(注意题后的字数要求)。

     In the United States,train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people
like traveling by car or by air.
     Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about
how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer
than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle.
Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one
percent of miles were traveled in a train.
     Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years,the
number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has
increased,it is still very small now. In countries such as France,Germany,or Japan,more people use trains.
     There are several reasons why many people __________________________.
     Firstly,Americans love to drive their own cars. On highways,cars can travel as fast as trains. These
highways connect all major cities in America. Secondly,many travelers like to be independent. When they
use their own cars they can decide when to travel. Thirdly,many buses travel between major cities. Bus
travel is less costly than train travel.
     In a huge country like the United States,cities are far away from each other. In some cases,travel
from one city to another by train may take more than a day. Airplanes can carry passengers over long
distances much faster. People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly. For
these people saving time is the most important thing.

1. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words. )

It's convenient for people to decide the start-off time when they travel in their own cars.

4. What means of transportation do you like best when traveling,trains,cars,or planes? Why?

5. Translate the underlined sentences in the last paragraph into Chinese.
