5.Of all the famus English writers, prbably the best knwn is William Shakespeare. He was brn in Stratfrd-upn-Avn in 1564 n April the 23rd. His father was an imprtant man in twn s Shakespeare had a gd upbringing. Shakespeare prbably went t schl (althugh n recrds survive t prve this) but nt university. He gt married when he was 18 t Anne Hathaway and the cuple had 3 children.
Shakespeare wrte 38 plays and 154 snnets (a snnet is a kind f pem). He began wrking in his hme twn f Stratfrd but by 1592 was writing in Lndn. He became rich enugh t buy a huse in the capital and ne in Stratfrd.
He wrte sad stries called tragedies, like Rme and Juliet, funny stries r cmedies, rmantic stries and stries abut histrical figures such as Julius Caesar.
Shakespeare died n his birthday in 1616, almst 400 years ag. But why is his wrk still ppular tday?
His wrk lked at cmmn human themes, such as betrayal, murder, lust, pwer, ambitin and lve. These themes are as much a part f human nature tday as they were all thse years ag and are the themes we see in mdern sap peras and Hllywd films. Even thugh his theatre, The Glbe, burned dwn in 1613 it was rebuilt in Lndn in 1997 and yu can still see his plays perfrmed there tday.
Shakespeare's influence n the English language can still be felt tday. We talk abut "fair play", meaning hnest behaviur but this phrase was first used by Shakespeare. He cined the phrase "yu can have t much f a gd thing". And it was Shakespeare wh came up with the expressin t disappear "int thin air" which we still use tday when we lse smething.

6.“Sn, yu’re ging t have t mve ut!” cried my neighbr upn seeing the largest tmat plant knwn t mankind r at least knwn in my neighbrhd.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bught fr $1.25 in the spring, has already taken ver much f my rse bed, cvering much f ther plants, and is well n its way t the frnt dr.
Rses require a gd deal f care, and if it weren’t fr the pleasure they give, it wuldn’t be wrth the wrk. As it is, I have a garden full f sweet-smelling rses fr mst f the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly wdy branches until the new grwth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me int planting just ne little tmat plant. A big mistake.
Sil cnditins made just perfect fr rses turn ut be even mre perfect fr tmates. The daily watering cupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant int a tall bush. The cage I placed arund it as the plant grew has lng since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Nw the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twfld; First, I have t find the red nes amng the leaves, which means I almst have t stand n my head, and nce fund I have t reach dwn and under, pick the tmates and withdraw my full fist withut drpping the prize s dearly wn. I fund tw full-blwn white rses cmpletely hidden as I picked tmates in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellw fr lack f light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decisin: T tear up a wnderful and prductive tmat plant that ffers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tmates each day r say gdbye t several expensive and treasured rses. Like Scarlett in Gne With the Wind, I’ll think abut that tmrrw.
51. What are the requirements fr the healthy grwth f rse?
A. A lt f care and the right sil. B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
C. Tmat plants grwn alngside. D. Cages placed arund the rts.
52. Why did the writer planted the tmat?
A. Because it cst nly $1.25.
B. Because the sil was just right fr it.
C. Because there was rm fr it in the garden.
D. Because the rses’ branches needed t be cvered.
53. What happened t the writer’s rses this year?
A. They were remved frm the rse bed.
B. They were picked alng with the tmates.
C. They were largely hidden under the tmat plant.
D. They were mstly damaged by t much sunlight.
54. What’s the writer’s purpse by saying “the prize s dearly wn” in paragraph? 5
A. T shw the difficulty in picking the tmates.
B. T shw the hardship f grwing the rses.
C. T express her care fr the tmates.
D. T express her liking fr the rses.
55. In the situatin described in the text, ne gd thing is that ______.

D. the writer can nw enjy bth the rses and tmates
