Love is a light, which brightens others and warms ourselves. The one who starts off with love will be in love in his life.

George was a salesman of a company in Washington. Once, when he bought flowers for his girlfriend, he knew the shop-owner Ben.

Later, because of the misleading, he was inexplicably（莫名其妙地）put in prison. He was going to spend 10 years in jail. On hearing this news, his girlfriend left him.

10 years were too long. George got used to passionate（激情的）life, wondering how to spend the days, long, loveless and lightless. He had no confidence in himself. He almost went crazy in the first month. Until one morning, someone came to see him. He had no relatives in Washington, so he wondered who would remember him.

In the meeting room, he was shocked: it was the flower shop owner. Ben brought him a bunch of flowers. Though it was just a bunch of flowers, this brought life to George in prison and also caused him see the hope of life. In prison he started reading and studying electronic science.

Six years later, he was released（释放）. He first became a worker in a computer company, and then ran a software company soon. Two years later, he had been a billionaire.

George, who became rich, went to see Ben, but he learnt that Ben had lost his business two years before, and they moved to the countryside.

George took Ben’s family back, bought him an apartment and left Ben a job in his co mpany. George said, “ It is your bunch of flowers every year that made me recall the love and warmth of the world. I want to give away a sum of money and set up a foundation（基金会）in your name so that all the unlucky people feel your great love.”

It is easy for everyone to love everyone with benevolence. A word，a smile or a bunch of flowers is enough; we won’t lose much, but it may help others walk out of darkness, and make our life more beautiful.

This spring marks the 400th anniversary of the death of British play-writer William Shakespeare. His plays have had a major influence on the world’s literature and drama（文学与戏剧）. That influence is shown in a new exhibition at Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC.

Shakespeare was born in 1564 in the small town of Stratford-upon-Avon, about 160 kilometers from London.

Experts believe Shakespeare became interested in theater when he was a young man. He decided to try acting in London. They say this experience helped him improve his plays. Experts say that by the time Shakespeare was 30 years old, his plays were being produced.

Georgianna Ziegler organized the exhibition at the library. She explained that immigrants （移民）to America brought Shak espeare’s writings with them to their new home. “An immigrant came over to this country around 1650 and he brought with him a copy of Shakespeare’s Second Folio and that is one of the earliest material to a Shakespeare edition actually coming into America. People had Shakespeare in their houses when they crossed the country as they moved West with the Gold Rush and so on.

The exhibition shows photos, videos and costumes of famous actors who have played Shakespearean characters. The exhibition also has copies of his works published in different languages.

The exhibition even has the first edition of Shakespeare’s works. It is called the “First Folio.” It is a collection of 36 of his plays, including “Hamlet,” “Twelfth Night” and “The Tempest.”

S hakespeare’s plays have been translated into every major language in the world. Ziegler said that people like Shakespeare’s plays because the characters in them show real human emotions.

“There’s something basically human about Hamlet, who has problems -- he’s a studen t and has problems making up his mind. Romeo and Juliet, who are young lovers and they don’t quite know how to get ahead with their lives. And they disagree with their parents.

Four hundred years after he died, his plays are still performed in theaters all over the world -- more than those of any other play-writer.

( ) 66. The new exhibition has been put on in Washington mainly because_______.

A.Shakespeare was born in Washington

B.Only American people still like Shakespeare’s plays

C.Shakespeare tried acting in the USA

D.Shakespeare’s plays have great influence on American culture

A.Shakespeare himself brought a copy of his Second Folio to America

C.the First Folio was t he first collection of Shakespeare’s plays

D.the Gold Rush happened in London

( ) 68 Which of following is NOT Shakespeare’s works?

A.his plays are more than any other writer’s

B.his plays can help people through the hard times

C.he was the most famous play-writer in the world
