Great literary works do not fade with time. Shakespeare’s plays, for example, have been read again and again by generation after generation; they have also been adapted for the big screen and shown at places other than the theater. Great literature also knows no language boundaries.  For example, Chinese classical novels like The Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey of the Monkey have been widely read not only by Chinese but also by sinologists, people who study Chinese culture, from many language backgrounds.

    People read literature to enjoy great writers’ ways with words and their humor. In the English language world, William Somerest Maugham is a novelist who is good at irony, i.e., saying the opposite of what is meant, to create humor. Another reason why Maugham’s novels are well-loved is that he never fails to provide a surprise ending to amuse his readers. 

    When readers become involved with what they are reading, they may behave as if they have traveled through time to live with the characters in the story. Readers of Maugham’s short story, The Luncheon, may often stop and wonder about how the main character is so easily fooled when he has lunch with a woman he met once in Paris. They may also grow to love or hate this woman in the course of their reading.

    Literary works often provide room for different interpretations. For example, poetry, because of its succinct use of words, can often be interpreted in a number of different ways. Short plays, on the other hand, contain more elaborate descriptions of the setting and the moods of the characters, not to mention the stage directions. However, almost all literary works make use of symbols to suggest ideas indirectly. Because symbols can carry different meanings in different cultures, one person’s interpretation of a symbol can be very different from another person’s. 

    Great literature is not bound by time or language barriers. It will continue to speak to generations of people.

1.In Paragraph 3, whom does “he” refer to?

A. The author.    B. The reader.      C. The main character.  D. Somerest Maugham.

2.What would be the best title for this article?

A. The Many Languages of Literature   B. Great Literature Has No Barriers

C. Great Literature Has Time          D. The Irony of Literature

3.According to the passage, all the following things may draw readers’ attention EXCEPT______

    A. language backgrounds              B. humorous words 

C. surprising endings                 D. the use of symbols

What a great Paralympic Games this has been. An outstanding Opening Ceremony, splendid athletic performances in perfect stadiums, the best-ever Paralympic Villages, amazing high definition （高清晰度） television coverage, a never ending and self-generating （自生的） supply of passion and emotion, superb organization, wonderful volunteers, millions of new Paralympic sports lovers both here in China and around the world．These are the greatest Paralympic Games ever.

—Philip Craven, president of the International Paralympic Committee

It was another spectacular show. Perhaps it’s not quite as sublimely（高尚地） beautiful as the opening, but a fitting end to what has been a memorable 12 days in the Chinese capital.

The Paralympics were inspiring. Not only the Paralympians themselves, but also the warmth of people in Beijing and the sense of self-respect among the disabled in China that these Games seem to have inspired, as well as a new attitude in general from the government and form Chinese society as a whole.

— Jeff Z. Klein, New York Times

It doesn’t get any better for disabled persons living in Beijing than September 2008, with increased access for them in public areas.

But there are still problems. Some taxi drivers are not willing to pick up wheelchair users. Some companies deliberately break employment laws that ask them to employ a percentage of disabled persons. Many schools haven’t opened their door to disabled students.

During the past Paralympics, Chinese society has witnessed firsthand the abilities of disabled persons in sporting. And the next step will be for the abilities of disabled people on the Paralympics to be translated into a realization of their abilities to study, work and go about daily life in a barrier-free society.

— Eric Roeder, China Daily
