Shakespeare’s Sister

Let us imagine, since facts are so hard to come by, what would have happened had Shakespeare had a wonderfully gifted sister, called Judith.

Shakespeare himself went, very probably — his mother was an heiress — to the grammar school, where he may have learnt Latin — Ovid, Virgil and Horace — and the elements of grammar and logic. He was, it is well known, a wild boy who poached (偷猎) rabbits, perhaps shot a deer, and had, rather sooner than he should have done, to marry a woman in the neighborhood, who bore him a child rather quicker than was right. That escapade sent him to seek his fortune in London. He had, it seemed, a taste for the theatre; he began by holding horses at the stage door. Very soon he got work in the theatre, became a successful actor, and lived at the centre of the universe, meeting everybody, knowing everybody, practicing his art on the boards, exercising his wits in the streets, and even getting access to the palace of the queen.

Meanwhile his extraordinarily gifted sister remained at home. She was as adventurous, as imaginative, as curious to see the world as he was. But she was not sent to school. She had no chance of learning grammar and logic, let alone of reading Horace and Virgil. She picked up a book now and then, one of her brother’s perhaps, and read a few pages. But then her parents came in and told her to mend the stockings or mind the stew(炖锅) and not moon about with books and papers. They would have spoken sharply but kindly, for they were practical people who knew the conditions of life for a woman. Soon, however, before she was out of her teens, she was to be engaged to the son of a neighboring wool stapler(经销商). She cried out that marriage was hateful to her, and for that she was severely beaten by her father. Then he ceased to scold her. He begged her instead not to hurt him, not to shame him in this matter of her marriage. He would give her a chain of beads or fine dresses, he said; and there were tears in his eyes. How could she disobey him? How could she break his heart?

The force of her own gift alone drove her to it. She made up a small parcel of her belongings, let herself down by a rope one summer’s night and took the road to London. She was not seventeen. The birds that sang in the woods were not more musical than she was. She had the quickest fancy, a gift like her brother’s, for the tune of words. Like him, she had a taste for the theatre. She stood at the stage door; she wanted to act, she said. Men laughed in her face. The manager — a fat, loose-lipped man — howled with laughter. He roared something about puppies dancing and women acting — no woman, he said, could possibly be an actress. She could get no training in her craft. Could she even seek her dinner in a bar or roam (游荡) the streets at midnight? Yet her genius was for fiction and lusted to feed abundantly upon the lives of men and women and the study of their ways. At last — for she was very young, oddly like Shakespeare the poet in her face, with the same grey eyes and rounded brows — at last Nick Greene the actor-manager took pity on her; she found herself with child by that gentleman and so — who shall measure the heat and violence of the poet’s heart when caught and confined in a woman’s body? — killed herself one winter’s night and lies buried at some cross-roads where the omnibuses (公共汽车) now stop outside the Elephant and Castle.

That, more or less, is how the story would run, if a woman in Shakespeare’s day had had Shakespeare’s genius.

At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All through my childhood people said you can’t go to Africa. You’re a girl.” Goodall said. “But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall went to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve, recording the animals’ behavior and interactions.

For three months Goodall made little progress. But she said, “I never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a piece of grass into a termite (白蚁) hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she came to the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites on it. The discovery — that some animals use tools — was unknown to most scientists at the time.

Goodall saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other.

Goodall received her Ph.D. in the study of animal behavior at England’s Cambridge University. Now she travels around the globe raising money to preserve wildlife. “I love being in the forest with the chimpanzees,” she said. “I’d much rather be there than traveling around from city to city.”

1.What was Goodall’s childhood dream?

A. She dreamed of going to college.

B. She dreamed of studying animals in Africa.

C. She dreamed of becoming a famous scientist.

D. She dreamed of traveling all around the world.

2.What did Goodall’s mother think of her dream?

A. As a girl she should not go to the African jungle.

B. Her dream would remain a dream unless she got the right training.

C. As a girl she should stay away from violent animals.

D. She could make her dream come true if she was determined.

3.Goodall’s most important discovery is that ________.

A. some animals use tools

B. like humans animals have emotions

C. chimpanzees could attack each other violently

D. termites are chimpanzees’ favorite food

4.What is Goodall doing now?

A. Studying animal behavior at Cambridge University.

B. Raising funds for the preservation of wildlife.

C. Observing chimpanzees in African jungles.

D. Working hard for a PhD degree.

Whether you’re up for a Crocodile Dundee’s adventure or you’d just like a taste of the Australian sun, the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more.

Sydney Beach

Sydney Beach is located at Sydney’s northernmost tip on an extension(延伸) of land ending at Palm Beach. Before checking out the golden sand, take a quick tour of the houses of millionaires from the art and film industries.

Palm Beach

Only about an hour from downtown Sydney, Palm Beach offers a long stretch(延伸) of clean sand and water. With parking near the center of the beach, that leaves the rest of it as a peaceful location with a sparse population, from which you can go surfing but take care — without the huge crowds of other Sydney’s beaches, Palm Beach doesn’t afford quite the safety level to be found elsewhere. Volunteer lifesavers are on duty only on weekends and holidays.

Bondi Beach

For the famous beach, Bondi Beach has to be your choice. Parking is difficult to find even on slow days, so consider taking public transport to this world—known beach in the eastern Sydney suburbs. Easily reachable by taxi, bus, and rail, Bondi Beach offers sun bathing, swimming, snorkeling, and all sorts of water sports fun. If you’re in the mood for a bit of exercise, two scenic coastal walks will afford you great views and sights along the shore. Take in views from Mackenzie’s Point. It starts at Bondi and heads south to Bronte Beach. But don’t try to swim in Mackenzie’s Bay — it holds dangers such as hidden rocks.

Bronte Beach

Your second choice for a scenic coastal walk covers a few miles and takes you from Bronte Beach to Waverly Cemetery, where many famous Australians are buried, including the poet Henry Lawson.

1.Which of the following shows the right order of the beaches lined from the south to the north?

A. Palm Beach—Sydney Beach—Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach

B. Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

C. Sydney Beach—Palm Beach—Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach

D. Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

2.The underlined word "sparse" probably means ________.

A. largeB. thickC. thinD. crowded

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. If you want to enjoy a walk, you can choose Bondi Beach or Bronte Beach.

B. If you want to swim in Palm Beach, the safer time is on weekdays and holidays.

C. If you want to visit the famous people’s tombs, you can choose Sydney Beach.

D. If you want to visit Palm Beach, the airplane is your best choice.

4.What’s the purpose of the text?

A. It aims to show the scenery of the beaches in and around Sydney.

B. It aims to introduce the culture and customs in and around Sydney.

C. It aims to show the activities on the beaches in and around Sydney.

D. It aims to attract the visitors to the beaches in and around Sydney.

Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games, it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles—you can come together with them in the virtual world.

Bill Wyman, former bass player(贝斯手) in the Rolling Stones, has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own opinion suggest quite opposite.

Last year, I bought Guitar Hero Ⅲ for our 14-year-old son, Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.

A few months later, while I was away on tour, a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along the track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack’s friends taught him how to play along to his favorite songs using just his index finger (食指)on the bass string. He got it right away.

Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players—how to strum(拨弄) the strings with one hand while making chord(和弦) shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now, preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.

Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument, it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognizable sound the first time he played it.

So let’s not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and, in our son’s case, gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.

1.What’s Bill Wyman’s attitude towards music video games?

A. CuriousB. Approving.C. Negative.D. Unconcerned.

2.Which statement is TRUE about Jack’s first playing with a real electric guitar?

A. He did it successfully.

B. He taught his friends how to play.

C. He didn’t know how to play along to a song.

D. He didn’t know how to strum the instruments.

3.What can we infer from Jack’s case?

A. Parents should encourage their kids.

B. Computer games are harmful to kids.

C. Kids should learn an instrument.

D. Guitar Hero is a useful game.

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A. A new computer game

B. The story of a guitarist

C. In defense of Guitar Hero

D. The best way to play guitar
