The writing of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain．His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university．

Shakespeare’s work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400-year- old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache．

Still, in British schools, it is necessary to study the poet, and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment（憎恨） or both．

This was my experience of the classics at school．But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart．Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me．I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them．

I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China．I have never regretted it．There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books．You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point．These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classics．

Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual plays．If that is the case, then I welcome the trend．But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing．Shakespeare is a poet．His greatness is in his language．Reading someone else’s rewriting of his works is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin．Take on the original．It really is worth the effort．

1．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The language used in classics is no longer in use today．

B．British students usually find compulsory reading dull．

C．Only those studying literature read Shakespeare’s works．

D．For British people, Shakespeare’s works are no longer classics．

2．According to the passage, the writer _____ ．

A．has liked literary classics since an early age

B．was forced to read the classics for a PhD

C．turned to literature to seek answers in his teens

D．thinks only people who read books like literature

3．The underlined phrase “a case in point” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_____”．

A．a great hit                    B．a good example

C．a movie adaptation                  D．a popular phenomenon

4．What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．The fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin．

B．The rewriting trend does more harm than good．

C．Readers should try to read the original versions．

D．Readers need to learn the language in the classics．

In the middle of the 19th century，a fever dream of riches beyond measure drew countless explorers west to the mountains of central California.Although the gold rush ended up being a bust for many who sought a fortune，some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure that would draw permanent settlers to Yosemite Valley in the following decade.

Vast wilderness，beautiful mountains，countless waterfalls，and abundant wildlife drew Native Americans to Yosemite roughly 10，000 years ago.The first non-native tourists arrived in the mid-1850s after reports from gold seekers told of an area of breathtaking beauty that no words were able to describe.

Fortunately，some of Yosemite’s earliest settlers recognized that Yosemite’s natural beauty and resources needed to be preserved for future generations.In the midst of the Civil War，President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect Yosemite permanently，thus making it the nation’s first land to be dedicated to recreation and setting the stage for what would become the national park system.

One of Yosemite’s earliest ambassadors was Scottish-American naturalist and writer John Muir.After living in Yosemite for a few years，he helped define its proposed boundaries.He also wrote articles that helped lead to its official title as a National Park in 1890.He later co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892 to advocate for its continued preservation and protection.

Located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in central California，Yosemite National Park runs across nearly 748，000 acres，almost 95％of which is wilderness.Around four million visitors come to Yosemite each year to camp，hike its miles of trails，climb its rock formations，and photograph its impressive sights.Are you ready to visit Yosemite National Park? Which of Yosemite’s sights would you most like to experience?
