and (47)no boy who went a grammar school could be ignorant that the drama was a form. of literaturewhich gave glory to Greece and Rome and might yet bring honor to England. When Shakespeare was twelve years old, the first public playhouse was built in London For a time literature showed no interest in this public stage Plays aiming at literary distinctionwere written for school or court, or for the choir boys of St Paul’s and the royal chapel, who,however,
gave plays in public as well as at court (48)but the professional companies prosperedin their permanent theaters, and university men with literature ambitions were quick to turn to these theaters as offering a means of livelihood. By the time Shakespeare was twenty-five, Lyly,Peele, and Greene had made comedies that were at once popular and literary;
Kyd had writtena tragedy that crowded the pit; and Marlowe had brought poetry and genius to triumph on thecommon stage - where they had played no part since the death of Euripides (49)A nativeliterary drama had been created, its alliance with the public playhouses established, and atleast some of its great traditions had been begun . The development of the Elizabethan drama for the next twenty-five years is of exceptionalinterest to students of literary history, for in this brief period we may trace the beginning,growth, blossoming, and decay of many kinds of plays, and of many great careers We areamazed today at the mere number of plays produced, as well as by the number of dramatistswriting at the same time for this London of two hundred thousand inhabitants.
(50)To realizehow great was the dramatic activity, we must remember further that hosts of plays have beenlost, and that probably there is no author of note whose entire work has survived.

Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.
Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned.
Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.
Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, BOX 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
From this passage, why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?
A.Children have fun dialing.
B.Emergencies happen without warning.
C.Children can wake their parents.
D.Dialing can help children with their math study.

It was the worst tragedy in maritime history, six times more deadly than the Titanic.
When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War Ⅱ, more than 10,000 people--mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany--were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw their way aboard. Most people froze immediately. "I'll never forget the screams," says Christa Ntitzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave—and into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than half a century.
Now Germany's Nobel Prize-winning author Guenter Grass has revived the memory of the 9,000 dead, including more than 4,000 children--with his latest novel Crab Walk, published last month. The book, which will be out in English next year, doesn't dwell on the sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe only to say later. "Nobody wanted to hear about it, not here in the West (of Germany) and not at all in the East. " The reason was obvious. As Grass put it in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: "Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant, we didn't have the energy left to tell of our own sufferings. "
The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable--and necessary. By unreservedly owning up to their country's monstrous crimes in the Second World War, Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad, marginalize the neo-Nazis at home and make peace with their neighbors. Today's unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they've now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to equate German suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.
Why does the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst tragedy in maritime history? ______
A.It was attacked by Russian torpedoes.
B.Most of its passengers were frozen to death.
C.Its victims were mostly women and children.
D.It caused the largest number of casualties.

He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed, love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeat in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and worst of all without pity, or compassion. He writes not of the heart but of the glands.
Until he relearns these things he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man. I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure; that when the last ding-dong of doom has changed and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.
