paper. Finally，recycling can leave a lower garbage bill. Recycling lowers the amount of waste put into
landfills,therefore,lessmoneyisspentforgarbagedisposal.
W ： Howhasrecyclingchangedovertheyears?

What makes a person famous? This is a mystery that many people have carefully thought about. All kinds of
myths surroundthe lives ofwell-known people. Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare,
one of the greatest English writers of the 16th and 17th centuries. (16) Yet how many know Shakespeare the
person, the man behind the works? After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare's
personalhistory. Itis noteasily foundinhis writings. Authorsofthe timecouldnotprotecttheirworks. An acting
company,forexample,couldchangeaplayiftheywantedto.Nowadays,writers havecopyrightsthatprotecttheir
work.
Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. Others believe that he began
hiscareerbytendingthehorsesofwealthymen.Allofthesemythsareinteresting, butaretheytrue?Probablynot.
(17) Shakespeare’s father was a respected man in Stratford-on-Avon, a memberofthe town council. He sent
youngWilliamtogrammarschool.MostpeopleofElizabethantimesdidnotcontinuebeyondgrammarschool;so,
Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education. (18) SomepartsofShakespeare’slife will always remain
unknown. The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of
clues.Wewillalwaysbeleftwithmanyquestionsandfewfacts.

拉特福镇议会的一名成员。故C)为答案。

still than to advance in darkness.” A headache often interferes needlessly with normal, happy living. The
employee with a headache does less work. In a flash of temper he or she may upset fellow workers or customers,
causing a direct or indirect loss to the organization. The mother with a headache suffers and disturbs the family.
She upsets her husband and children. Rest, quiet, and fresh air stop many common headaches. (21) Lying down
and possibly falling asleep may help. One can often handle tension headaches by rubbing and pressing back neck
muscles. Heat from an electric pad or a warm bath can also help. Because hunger may be overlooked as a
headache source, one must make a habit of regular meals. If a meal must be postponed for more than an hour, a
