Last year we were lucky enough to visit Stratford, the place where Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April, 1564.
Stratford is a very interesting town, right in the centre of England. The countryside around Stratford is pleasant, with its beautiful wood, green fields and quiet rivers.
The first place we visited was the house in the centre of Stratford where Shakespeare was born. We saw the small desk which Shakespeare sat at when he went to school. One of the things we liked best was the garden behind the house, because we could see there many of the flowers, trees and plants Shakespeare wrote about in his plays.
After we had visited Shakespeare’s birthplace, we went to see the church where he was buried.
We had lunch in the very old hotel that was probably there in Shakespeare’s time. Every room of the hotel had the name of one of Shakespeare’s plays on the door－the “Hamlet” room, the “Romeo and Juliet” room, and so on.
After lunch we walked across the fields to the old house, about a mile out of Stratford, where Shakespeare spent most of his married life. The house is just as it was in Shakespeare’s day. We saw the chairs where Shakespeare perhaps sat and thought about ideas for new plays, and we saw the plates from which he probably ate his dinner.
When we got back to our hotel in the evening, we were very tired, but each of us had enjoyed a wonderful day.
63. The reason why the visitors took great interest in the garden best was that .
A. it was the place where Shakespeare was born
B. they could see the beautiful natural scenery there
C. Shakespeare, famous for his plays, was dead and buried there
D. the flowers, trees and plants there have something to do with the plays written by Shakespeare
64. After reading this passage one can imagine that .
A. in the course of Shakespeare’s writing career (生涯) he put something around himself into his works
B. Shakespeare often admired (钦佩) the beauty of the pleasant wood, green fields and quiet rivers in the garden
C. Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet was once put on in a certain room of the old hotel where “we” had lunch
D. Shakespeare enjoyed reading his plays with his readers in the old cottage
65. Each room of the hotel has the name of one of Shakespeare’s plays on the door just to make the visitors .
A. know where Shakespeare finished writing the play
B. know that Shakespeare was staying with them
C. have a hearty (会心的) laugh
D. feel the great power of Shakespeare’s plays
66. Where did Shakespeare stay longest?
A. In the old house. B. At Stratford.
C. In the theatre. D. In the reading-room.
67. Pick out the best of the following topics for the above passage.
A. Shakespeare’s Birthplace B. A Visit to Shakespeare’s Hometown
C. An Unforgettable Visit D. A Good Lesson Taught by Shakespeare

A doctor was once teaching a class of medical students in a famous hospital in Edinburgh. An injured(受伤的) man 73 brought in, and the doctor turned to 74 of the students and asked him, “What’s wrong with this man?”

Thomas Edison wore many caps during his life. First he was just a poor working boy. He wore work caps of many kinds. Later in life he became a famous inventor. Then he wore the caps of many famous schools and colleges. But his most important cap was his thinking cap.
When he was a young boy, Edison’s thinking cap saved his mother’s life. One night, she suddenly fell ill. A doctor was called in. He had to operate on her at once, but there was not enough light in the room.
Edison quickly put on his thinking cap. He got all the oil lights in the house and put them on a long table. Then he placed a big mirror behind them. At once the room was quite bright. The doctor could operate, and his mother was saved.
Edison was a thinking man. Yet, he was a working man and a doing man, too. He was good with his hands and his head. Edison’s inventions have changed the world greatly. Today great trains run on electricity. Electricity lights light up the streets of towns and villages. Science uses it every day.
Records, shining lights, moving pictures and ringing telephones are very common now. Edison’s thinking cap made them. Usually, caps keep the head warm. But thinking caps keep the world warm.
