A poet is in his words

The writings of William Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain．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, Careless 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 （剝皮） a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin．Take on the original．It really is worth the effort．

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

2．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words to complete the sentence．（within 5 words）

3．Why are the adaptations of great works popular?

4．Do you think it necessary to read the original? Why?（within 30 words）

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

1．Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language·

2．it is compulsory/required

3．They may help increase people’s interest in the classic。

4．Yes, it is．Reading the original, we can really grasp the spirits of his works and can enjoy its language．（Answers may vary。）   

5．讀他（莎士比亞）作品的改寫本就如同將香蕉剝皮后，棄其肉而吃其皮。

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)文后的要求答題。(請注意問題的詞數(shù)要求)

　　One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country．

　　Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country．They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening．

　　There are many different types of beer available in pubs．Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature．As a result, the British are famous for their ‘warm beer’! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager．This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown．All beers are served as pints(500 ml)or halves(250 ml)．To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer．So, you could say “－________．”

　　Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka．

　　It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol．Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks．You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others．

　　If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your’round’．This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group．Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar．

　　So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”

If you don’t buy a drink for everyone in your group, you are socially wrong．
