different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at
a time, for 27 years.
When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further
education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn"t think that a country girl should borrow
money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm.
So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.
She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of
time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around classes
to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students
all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there
and what her aims were.

St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917
he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had
to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: "My own happiness in the past
often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk
it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary." F. Scott Fitzgerald
(1896-1940)
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald
began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned
(1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923).
But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise
from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published
another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald"s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to
reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During
this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his
dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.

Where do most writers get their ideas? For Yoshiko Uchida, it all began with Brownie, a
five-month-old puppy. So excited was Yoshiko by Brownie’s arrival that she started keeping a
journal, writing about all the wonderful things Brownie did and the progress he made.
Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their
first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories
about animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing
the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes.
Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in
Japan, provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of
visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshiko’s stories. One visitor who later appeared
in several of Yoshiko’s stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her
family attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and
loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯响) when he talked.
Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had.
One of her favorite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm,
showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the
henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others
rode in the back, staring up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had
never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement
about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she
used them in several of her stories.
The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life
became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as
The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit
of the world and the times in which this great writer grew up.
1. The author tells about Mr. Toga’s false teeth in Paragraph 3 in order to ____________.
A. show health care was not good enough in Berkeley during the 1930s
B. provide an interesting detail in Yoshiko’s life and stories

D. tell about a beloved relative who helped Yoshiko learn how to write
2. In Paragraph 4 “the stars” probably refer to ____________.
A. family relationships
B. terrors in the night
C. limitless possibilities
D. sacrifices to benefit others
3. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A. Yoshiko loved to write about parades.
B. Yoshiko met many interesting people.
C. Yoshiko liked to go for long walks with others.
D. Yoshiko preferred to talk to her pets instead of to people.
4. What is the main idea of this story?
A. People who live in the city should spend as much time as they can in the country.
B. Writers like Yoshiko Uchida must communicate with as many writers as possible.
C. Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years.
D. Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for writing sources.
Today, we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare. He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.
During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It
was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in
Shakespeare"s play "The Comedy of Errors" Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient
Roman writer Plautus. For his play "Macbeth", Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history
by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the
intensity(强度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.
Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of
London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city"s tradesmen. Shakespeare"s knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural
people.
It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare"s works have influenced the world
culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his
time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added.
Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework
old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of "critic", "mountaineer" and "eyeball". Many common
expressions in English come from his plays, including "pomp and circumstance(装腔作势)"from "Othello", "full circle(绕圈子地)" from "King Lear", etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is
almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented.
Shakespeare"s plays have been translated into every major language in the world.
Shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid
off.
1. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Many of Shakespeare"s works were influenced by earlier writings.
B. Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.
C. The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare"s works.
D. Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.
2. Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in .
A. "King Lear"
B. "The Comedy of Errors"
C. "Macbeth"
D. "Othello"
3. Why could Shakespeare"s works survive his time?
A. Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.
B. Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.
C. Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.
D. Because his works were rich in imagination and language.
4. Shakespeare"s greatest influence should be on .
A. the English language
B. paintings
C. television
D. music and dance
5. The passage is mainly abo
ut .A. an introduction to Shakespeare"s life and his works
B. the main features and styles of Shakespeare"s plays
C. how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture.
D. Shakespeare"s greatest influence on the world culture.
