Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．He wrote thirty-seven plays in all． 　　2．答案：In l578． 　　解析：根據(jù)“He was born in l564 in England．”和“He decided to be an actor when he finished school at the age of fourteen．”可知莎士比亞l4歲時是1578年。 　　3．答案：alone 　　解析：畫線句子意思為“在1585年，莎士比亞離開他的家鄉(xiāng)斯特拉特福，把他的妻子和孩子留了下來”。因此他是單獨離開的家鄉(xiāng)。alone是副詞，修飾動詞left。 　　4．a(chǎn)cting 　　5．when he was fifty-two
