IV. About the authors

1.Charles and Mary Lamb

Charles Lamb (1775–1834) was an essayist who also wrote plays. At the suggestion of their friend, the novelist and philosopher William Godwin, Lamb and his sister Mary, who was several years older, collaborated to write Tales from Shakespeare, with the design of making the plays familiar to young readers.

2. Shakespeare

Put students into small groups and ask them to share their experience.

1) What do you know about Shakespeare?

2) Have you ever seen or read any of his plays, in English or in translation?

Reputation

He was widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language .His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, 2 long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare is the most quoted writer in the literature and history of the English-speaking world

Life

Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet 下学期基本以长篇小说为主，尽管是简易读本，但篇幅相对于第一学期要厚一些

and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of the playing company the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.

Works

Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1590 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the sixteenth century. Next he wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest examples in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights. Many of his plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime, and in 1623 two of his former theatrical colleagues published the First Folio, a collected edition of his dramatic works that included all but two of the plays now recognized as Shakespeare's.

Influences

Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the nineteenth century. The Romantics, in particular, acclaimed Shakespeare's genius, and the Victorians hero-worshipped Shakespeare with a reverence that George Bernard Shaw called "bardolatry".In the twentieth century, his work was repeatedly adopted and rediscovered by new movements in scholarship and performance. His plays remain highly popular today and are consistently performed and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts throughout the world.

如何提高英语阅读能力？

1．音读

许多朋友都有发出声阅读的习惯。出声阅读的主要弊病就是使阅读速度和效率受说话速度的限制。因为，正常默读速度几乎要比出声朗读的速度快两倍以上。另外，出声阅读往往以不同的形式表现出来，有时看见的仅仅是无声地动动嘴唇，有时甚至连嘴唇也不动，只是舌，喉在活动。嘴唇的活动无疑会影响眼睛的扫视速度，“一个有效率的读者能够这要看到印刷符号，就直接获得意思，而不经过声音阶段。”因此，要克服这种不良的阅读习惯，就要训练自己养成通过视觉器官直接感知文字符号的视读能力。

2．心读

心读是一种很难观察到的阅读习惯。心读时，人体的任何部位，不论嘴，头或声带都没有在动，只存在一种说话的内在形式：学生在内心里始终自言自语，清晰地发出并听着每个字音，并且矫正起来又比较困难。采用强制自己深入理解文章内容的同时，又强制自己加快阅读速度的方法一般能逐渐克服这种坏习惯。

3．指读

指读是指用手指，铅笔或尺子等指着一个个词进行阅读的习惯。这种指读的单纯机械运用不仅会减慢阅读速度，而且还会把我们的注意力引向错误的方向。一个高效率的阅读者不会注意单词的位置，也不会在每个单词上平均花费时间，而是把注意四集中在作者要阐明的思想内容上。指读的习惯实际上妨碍了眼睛运动并限制了大脑的快速活动能力。因此，必须克服这种不良的阅读习惯，逐渐培养用脑瞬间反应文字信息的能力。

4．复视

复视指的是读完一个句子或段落后回头去重复阅读。阅读能力差的朋友往往过分依赖于复视以养成一种习惯。改变这种不良习惯的办法就是让自己阅读大量难度适宜的读物，这样就不会遇到生词或不太懂的短语，句子或段落而回过头来再看，以致养成复视的习惯。

5．头的摆动

阅读时头部下意识地左右摆动时阅读的另一个坏习惯。在阅读过程中，有些人往往尽量使自己的鼻尖对准他正在读的每一个字。这样，当他顺着一行字往下读时，他就会轻微地摆动头部，而当他通过头来开下一红时，他就会很快转回去以便使鼻尖再对准书页的左边。这种头的摆动，学生往往意识不到，而正是这种不必要的动作往往对阅读速度产生影响。因此，必须克服这种毛病，

养成阅读时只移动视线的习惯。

其他不良的习惯，诸如阅读时，有的注意力不集中，“思想开小差”；有的用尺子比着，一行一行地向下移；有的一面阅读一面玩钢笔，尺子，钥匙等物，不是地发出响声；有的爱抖动双腿；有的过多地惊醒语法分析；有的还停下来查字典等等。这些不良习惯只会影响到我们得思路，降低阅读速度，因此我们应及时地加以纠正。

首先从提高阅读速度入手。集中精力阅读一篇长度适中的文章，记下起始时间，并计算单位时间的阅读量。迫使自己进行快速阅读，便成了我的习惯。在第一遍阅读过程中，我将重点放在训练速度，掌握文章大意及基本结构上，并找出问题，以便进一步阅读时着重解决。第二遍阅读的重点有两个：意识扩大词汇量。具体做法是：把文章再过一遍，查处生单词，记在小笔记本上，有时间就拿出来背。背单词，我从不利用整时间。当学习别的内容效率较低的时候，对我来说，背单词最合适。每次背的事件不一定很长，贵在多次重复。当时我使用的事英汉词典，因为我觉得英文解释不便于记忆。而在扩大词汇量的初期阶段了解词的释义最为重要。就这样，随着阅读量的增加，面的拓宽，我的词汇量也就突飞猛进了。真实到了后来准备toefl,gre等考试时，我才开始背词汇手册，并使用英文解释，以了解词的确切含义及使用的语言环境。

第二遍阅读的第二个重点在于培养语感。仔细体会精彩的语言，留意词的使用以及搭配，对某些段落我常出声朗读，甚至背诵下来。这样做，有利于加强语感；为写作打基础。通过这种两遍阅读法，所读内容在我头脑中留下了印象一般都很深刻，而且也提高了阅读材料的利用率。我十分重视阅读材料的选择。不单从兴趣出发，相反，有意识地读一些自己不甚了解，甚至不大感兴趣的科普，历史，哲学等方面的文章。另外，针对不同的训练目的，我还选取了内容难度不同的阅读材料。例如，进行快速阅读时，可以选择生词量较小，篇幅较短的文章；而重点在扩大词汇量，拓宽视野的阅读训练，就选择英美报刊杂志。此外，我还注重循序渐进，根据不同阶段自己英语水平的变化选择相应的阅读材料。在听，说，读，写四个方面，我从“读”中受益无穷。通过有意识的大量阅读，一方面扩大了词汇量，另一方面培养了语感。而这两方面我认为是掌握一种语言的两大支柱。至于听，说，写三个环节，我其实并没有经过什么特殊的训练。读的东西多了，词汇量足够大，语感足够强，只要多加练习，这三个方面也就自然而然的提高了。
