William Shakespeare died on April the 23rd in 1616．This year's 400th anniversary of his death is not just a chance to remember one of the greatest writers of all time．It is a moment to celebrate his ongoing influence．Just as Ben Jonson，another great English writer of his times，said，"he is not of an age，but for all time．"
People like Shakespeare's plays because the characters show real human feelings．Romeo and Juliet，who are young lovers，they don't quite know how to get ahead with their lives．And they disagree with their parents．Their story has a sad ending．When we take the characters out of his period，they really speak to almost any time and place．
The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern，everyday English．Even if an English﹣speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare，they will surely know some sayings that come from his plays．When we have problems making up our mind，we say"to be or not to be：that is the question"（Hamlet）．When a friend eats all the food in the house，we say he's"eating me out of house and home"（Henry IV）．
But Shakespeare's influence is felt far beyond his language and his culture．"Cowards die many times before their death，the valiant （英勇的） never taste of death but once．"This saying from Shakespeare's historical play Julius Caesar encouraged Nelson Mandela to fight on when he was a prisoner．Shakespeare's influence is everywhere，from Goethe （a German writer） to Tchaikovsky．
As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It，"all the world's a stage．"More than 400 years later，stages around the world still show his plays．Through his works，Shakespeare lives on．Perhaps we'll still be attracted by his works 400years from now．
38．What is the writer's main purpose in writing the article？
A．To introduce the life story of William Shakespeare．
B．To explain why Shakespeare's writing lives on．
C．To recommend some of Shakespeare's best﹣known works．
D．To explore the influences of Shakespeare's comedies．
39．Which of these sayings can be used to express the main idea of Paragraph 2？
A．All the world's a stage．
B．To be or not to be：that is the question．
C．The valiant never taste of death but once．
D．He is not of an age，but for all time．
40．Paragraph 4 is mainly about ．
A．some famous Shakespearian sayings
B．some Shakespearian historical stories
C．Shakespeare's influence on modern English
D．Shakespeare's influence on wider society
41．By the last sentence"Perhaps we'll still be attracted by his works 400years from now"，the writer means ．
A．Shakespeare's influence will last for a long time
B．Britain will remember William Shakespeare forever
C．Shakespeare's works will be gone and forgotten some day
D．Shakespeare's works will have a stronger influence than ever before．

Last summer，after 16years in America，I travelled to Moscow where I grew up．I was the
first in my family to return．Mom gave me a hand﹣drawn map showing the location of my
grandfather's grave（坟墓）．She asked me to visit it．I promised her it would be the first thing I'd
do．
But it wasn't until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit．
By the entrance to the cemetery（公墓），a lady was selling flowers．She had only seven left．I
bought them all，but it was then that I realized the map was lost and never found．
I could call my mom．It was already morning in New York．
But the problem was that I had already told her I'd gone to the cemetery．What was I going to
say？That I decided to go again but lost the map？
Then I found the office．An old woman searched the records and found two Abraham
Pikarskis with no further details．
I set off to look for them，hoping that at least one would have a picture on the stone．
I found the two graves．Both said Abraham Pikarski，no pictures，nothing else．
Which grave was mine？
I put three flowers on the grave in front of me and went back to the first one．I also put three flowers there．
I stood there with the last flower．Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to？Should I just
discard it so that each Abraham Pikarski got an equal number？Finally，I put the flower on the
grave．If this is really my grandfather's，he got the most．If not，let this be a respect to the stranger．
I flew home to New York the next day．When Mom saw me，she started crying．
"Mom，it's only been a week…"
She said，"Son，thank you for visiting Grandfather's grave．It really means so much to me．
When you called and told me you went there，I thought you were just comforting me．But this
morning，my cousin called from Moscow，saying she saw your flowers on your grandpa's grave．"
Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw？Three or four？
34．Why didn't the writer call Mom for the location of his grandfather's grave？
A．Because it was midnight in New York．
B．Because he found the hand﹣drawn map．
C．Because he didn't want Mom to know he broke his promise．
D．Because his mom didn't know where Grandfather's grave was．
35．The writer's mother cried because ．
A．she missed her father so much
B．she hadn't seen her son for a week
C．the writer visited his grandfather's grave for her
D．the writer put four flowers on his grandfather's grave
36．In which situation does the writer have no difficulty making a decision？

B．Whether to visit his grandfather's grave．
C．Whether to phone Mom for the grave's location．
D．Whether to ask Mom how many flowers her cousin saw．

The website www．lifehacker．com connects people to helpful recourses．Here's the webpage on"The best places to…"
Keep a wireless router（路由器）
On a bookshelf
Situate it on a desk or a tall shelf in a central location in your house．A router works best when put high，since it sends signals（信号） in all directions．The worst place to have a router：in the kitchen．Metal things can also weaken or stop its signals．
Solve a problem
In the shower
Simple tasks，like lathering up（抹肥皂），may allow the mind to run free and have creative
thinking．In a science study，those who completed a simple task between solving creative problems performed better on the problems than those who completed difficult tasks or no task at all．
Hide valuable items
In the kid's room
Find a place in a young child's room，where you can put away valuable items．Put emergency cash（应急现金） in an envelope inside a toy which is no longer played with，like a teddy bear on a high shelf．
Add a houseplant
To the bathroom
Plants are important in your living space，but you probably haven't thought to put one next
to，say，your shower．They can make indoor air clean，and they're helpful for small spaces like
bathrooms．Ferns（蕨类） are a good and cheap choice in a bathroom．
31．According to the passage，you'd better hide your jewellery ．
A．in the kitchen B．in the living room C．in the kid's room D．in the bathroom

Yearbooks in the United States
Most high schools in the United Sates publish a yearbook once a year，usually in the spring．It is a record of the school year﹣a"book of memories"for the students．
Inside a yearbook is each student's photo．The seniors are graduating soon，and their photos appear firs．Next are the juniors，They are one year behind the seniors．Then come the second﹣year students．The last photos are the first﹣year students．The yearbook is not only about students．The teachers have photos，too．
They yearbook also has photos and descriptions of extracurricular activities．These are activities that students do after school，such as the chess club and Spanish club．There is even a yearbook club．Students in this club write，design and take photos all year for the yearbook．
In the yearbook，some students receive special titles，The seniors vote and choose the"class clown"（a funny student ），the"most likely to succeed"（a student who got the best grades ），and the"best dressed"（a student with a good fashion sense ）．There are also other awards．
Students usually sign each other's yearbooks，This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating．Students write notes to each other，such as，"We had a lot of fun，"or because they are graduating．Students write notes to each other，such as，"We had a lot of fun，"or"I'll never forget you．"They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together．
