25、Across the sea to see you C If only one person deserves(值得)the name of the greatest English winter of all time, that person should be William Shakespeare.

26、 known in every comer of the world. William Shakespeare was born in a small town in England, in 1564. In his youth, he moved to London and began to work as a play writer.

27、ty. Whether comedy or tragedy, Shakespeares plays catch peoples hearts with complicated (复 杂的) characters and stories that reflect truths about human nature.

28、st in the woods. But his tragedies can be very dark. Macbeth is a story about a Scottish man who becomes king by killing all his enemies. Hamlet is about the prince of Denmark who takes revenge(复仇)after he knows it is his uncle that kills his father. But he loses his life in the end. Shakespeares wo

29、rk also has a big influence on the English language. He is a master of words. He coined about 1,700 new English words, including everyday ones like “lonely“, “hurry“ and “critical“, according to the New York Post. Of course, Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago and his English was very different from tha

30、t of today. But it doesnt influence his popularity. His plays have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than any other play writer. There are over 400 films and TV plays adapted (改编)from his work. Shakespeare is not of an age, but for all time. 21. Shakespeare was w

34、 the modem ones D Are you interested in science? How do you think scientists usually make new discoveries? The world produces millions of Ions of plastic wastes every year. What do you think the best way to deal with plastic pollution is? Why? Caterpillars(毛虫)are often used as food for fishing. Howe

35、ver, they are now set to join the war on plastic wastes. Fcderical Bcrtocchini is a scientist with the Spanish National Research Council. When shes not working in her lab, Bcrtocchini keeps bees. One day, when she looked at her beehives(蜂 箱),she found lots of caterpillars which were called waxworms(

36、蜡虫). They are often used to feed fish. In the wild, however, they live in beehives, feeding on the wax that bees use to build their houses. Bcrtocchini picked out the caterpillars and put them in a plastic bag. Surprisingly, when she returned to the bag after cleaning out the hives, she (bund it fil

37、l! of holes. The worms had eaten their way out. Bcrtocchini doesnt study plastic. However, you cant keep a good scientist away from an interesting question: Were the waxworms digesting(消化)the plastic? Bertocchini got in touch with Paolo Bombeli and Christopher Howe at the university of Cambridge. Ac

38、cording to their paper, some chemicals within the insects can really break down plastic. Other scientists have also discovered plastic-eating species(物种).

39、wever, Bertocchini and her partners discovered that it took a waxworm about 12 hours to eat a layer of plastic bag. Butthe scientists reminded that it would be at least several years before they set free waxworms into the environment. They want to know if the waxworms are using the plastic as a food

40、, or just they want to run away. If they just want to run away they are going to get fed very soon. But if they want to eat it as food, its a completely different game. “Its certainly not going to be the case that within six months weve solved the worlds plastic problem, said Howe. “I wouldnt want p
