Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare's writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!
There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.
1). From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.
A. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest dramatist
B. Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer
C. Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world's greatest writer
D. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest poet
2). According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from _____.
A. Englishmen
B. English speaking people
C. Shakespeare's works
D. ancient people
3). To learn the richness of the English language, people should ______.
A. write and read more
B. be glad to be a foreigner
C. learn from an English man
D. read Shakespeare's plays
4). The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare's plays probably because _____.
A. only Englishmen can understand his plays
B. some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed
C. the works are too difficult for a beginner
D. the works are for native speakers
5). In this passage the author wants to _______.
A. tell how great a writer Shakespeare is
B. tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare's day
C. tell that some English words are out of use now
D. show the richness of English language
At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over from the late Steve Ross in the early 1990s. On the financial front, Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company's mountainous debt, which will increase to $ 17.3 billion after two new cable deals close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure the company, but investors are waiting impatiently.
The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him. Levin has consistently defended the company's rap music on the grounds of expression. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice-T's violent rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as a lawful expression of street culture, which deserves an outlet. "The test of any democratic society," he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column, "lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be. We won't retreat when we face any threats."
Levin would not comment on the debate last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard-line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting, Levin asserted that "music is not the cause of society's ills" and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students. But he talked as well about the "balanced struggle" between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he proclaimed that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.
The 15-member Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate strategy. But insiders say some of them have shown their concerns in this matter. "Some of us have known for many, many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited," says Luce. "I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this."
An American senator criticized Time Warner for
A．its raising of the corporate stock price.
B．its self-examination of the soul.
C．its neglect of social responsibility.
D．its emphasis on creative freedom.

Student participation (参与)in tike classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’ s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role(i. e. , listening and taking notes) , many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the profess or has a “manager”role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.
A professor’ s teaching method is another factor (因素)that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor’ s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.
In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However,new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education,society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are“practical” rather than theoretical，they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.

A.science and mathematics
