when his family business was ruined in the great depression of the early 1930s.millers most famous play，death of a salesman，is a powerful attack on the american system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.in willy loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he cant do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the wagner company，and he must go.willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.he refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.when it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the tony award for best play，the new york drama critics circle award，and the pulitzer prize for drama.it was the first play to win all three of these major awards.miller died of heart failure at

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 shakespeares 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 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 citys tradesmen.shakespeares 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 shakespeares 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 (富诗意的) 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(隆重的仪式)” from “othello” ，“full circle (绕圈子)” 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.shakespeares 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.36what can we infer from the passage?amany of shakespeares works were influenced by earlier writings.bshakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.cthe experience of living in london helped a lot with shakespeares works.dshakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.37shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient roman works in_.a“king lear”b“the comedy of errors”c“macbeth” d“othello”38why could shakespeares works survive his time?abecause there were so few people writing plays in his time.bbecause he produced too many works that nobody else could do.cbecause he was a rich and influential person of his time.dbecause his works were rich in imagination and language.39shakespeares greatest influence should be on _.athe english languagebpaintingsctelevisiondmusic and dance40the passage is mainly about_.aan introduction to shakespeares life and his worksbthe main features and styles of shakespeares playschow culture influenced shakespeare and he influenced culturedshakespeares greatest influence on the world culturedwhether youre studying for a test，reviewing paperwork for your job，or trying to understand a journal article，reading comprehension is involved in.unfortunately，when the reading material is difficult，our reading comprehension can suffer.learning to comprehend what you read can help you prevent wasting time as well as make you more productive(富有成效的) on the job or at school.the things you already know are important for understanding things youre going to learn.before you begin reading something on a new topic，think about what you already know about it and how what you are reading might build upon that.since kindergarten，weve all been told to keep a dictionary nearby when

especially challenging material，try taking notes.if you write while you are reading，reading will become boring and your comprehension will go downhill.instead，make an outline at the end of each paragraph or sentence.someone thinks that speed reading is very popular，and certainly has its place.however，from my point of view，its a terrible idea if you want to learn.besides，speed reading will cost you more time because you will have to go back and review if you understand what you have read quickly.focus on quality reading rather than quick reading，and take frequent breaks if you begin to get distracted(注意力分散的)when reading something boring，its easy to just read the words without even understanding what they mean.at such times，just find a way to relate to the material.write down questions，and look up concepts online to get alternative perspectives.your comprehension will improve and youll be less likely to need to reread.41the passage is intended to teach students how to
