2. Shakespeare: Soul of the Age Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April 1564, at Stratford-upon-Avon, a little town in the heart of England. He was the eldest son of the family and educated at the local grammar school, but his father’s business went from bad to worse, he had to leave school and begin to earn his living. When eighteen, he was a married man to a local girl. At the age of twenty-one, he set off to seek his fortune in the great city of London. There, he was in turn a horse-keeper, a stage-boy, a play mender and finally a playwright. Afterwards Shakespeare joined as an actor one or several companies of players. By 1584 he became as a rising playwright in London, and became soon a central figure in London’s leading theater company. During that time he wrote many great plays for the group. He was known in his day as very rapid writer: “His mind and hand went together,” his publisher reported, “and what he thought, he uttered with that easiness that we have scarce received from him a blot in his papers.” Shakespeare was also a great humanist. His interest in the life and people of his time made him watch the scenery of his native country with an observant eye, men and women in all walks of life, their appearances, habits and speech. He was familiar with the traditions of English folklore and showed deep concern for his people and his country’s destiny. His plays show us basic human flaws played out to their tragic conclusion. But Shakespeare doesn’t judge these faults. He doesn’t preach: he simply tells the story and we our own minds up. That is why they can be so effective because we as an audience draw our own conclusions. Recently, some people have even suggested that because of this, Shakespeare helped shape society. 1590 to 1613 was the golden age of Shakespeare's creation. His early script was mainly comedy and historical drama, in the late 16th century reached the depth and artistic peak. Then in 1608 he was the main tragedy, Shakespeare advocated noble sentiments, often described sacrifices and revenge, including "Othello", "Hamlet", "King Lear" and "Macbeth", is considered the best example of English. In the final stages of his life, he began to create tragicomedy, also known as the legendary drama. What’s more, Shakespeare’s contribution went beyond writing some good plays and dramas. He also introduced several hundred works to the English language including: aerial, assassination, countless, hurry, disgraceful and sportive. Besides, he coined phrases and expressions we still use to this day, such as “fair play”，“a foregone conclusion” and “to wear your heart on your sleeve”. All these came from an ordinary man. He didn’t come from a rich background, and he didn’t go to the best schools. He was from the midlands, went to a good school, but in those days if you were to be taken seriously, as a writer you normally had to go to university. The fact that William Shakespeare’s influence extends from theatre to literature to the English language itself justifies of his famous quotes: “Be not afraid of greatness: some men are born great, some are achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” 3. What does “Macbeth” belong to?
A、Comedy.
B、Tragedy.
C、Historical drama.
D、Tragicomedy.

3. The History of the English Dictionary In 1746, Samuel Johnson began to work on his most famous book, the Dictionary of the English Language. It took him nine years to complete and in that time, he wrote meanings for more than 40,000 words. It was the first English dictionary to include so many words. It had a far-reaching effect on Modern English and has been acclaimed as "one of the greatest single achievements of scholarship". Johnson was born in Staffordshire, Britain in 1709. His father was a bookseller and the family was not very rich. Johnson was a very clever student and he went to Oxford University in 1728. After Oxford, he became a school teacher but he was not happy about his job. In 1735, he married a woman named Elizabeth Porter. He was twenty-five years old and she was forty-six. A few years after that, Johnson got a job to write the English dictionary. He worked in a house in London and he had six men to help him. To write the dictionary, Johnson looked for words used by the important English writers in those days. He underlined the sentences where the words were used and wrote them in his notebooks. Then he gave his notebooks to his workers and they wrote the words and the sentences out neatly. After that, they put the words in order according to the English alphabet. Once that was done, Johnson would write the meanings for the words. When it was completed, the Dictionary of the English Language became famous and it was used by many people in that time. Johnson was a happy man because of that, but his wife died before the dictionary was completed and she never got to share her husband's happiness. Johnson died in London in 1784. In his lifetime, he not only wrote the Dictionary of the English Language but he also wrote many poems and famous articles. His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of The Plays of William Shakespeare, and the widely read tale The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets. 6. The Dictionary of the English Language was the first ______.
A、dictionary to include so many words
B、dictionary in the world
C、dictionary that was written in England
D、English dictionary to have 40,000 words
