What makes a person famous? This is a mystery that many people have pondered. All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people.
Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the sixteenth century. Yet how many know Shakespeare the person, the man behind the works?
After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare’s personal history. It is not easily found in his writings. Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company, for example, could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays writers have copyrights that protect their work.
Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. There are rumors that he left home when accused of stealing a horse. Others believe that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men.
All of these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probably not. Shakespeare’s father was a respected man in Stratford, a member of the town council, He sent young William to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school; so, Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education.
Some parts of Shakespeare’s life will always remain unknown. The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues. We will always be left with many questions and few facts
From this passage we can infer that Shakespeare ______.
选项
A、was a horse thief
B、had no education
C、is surrounded by myths
D、was popular in Stratford
答案
C
解析
选项A在第四段提及,但那只是谣传,并不能证明。选项B在第五段提及,莎士比亚至少念完了中等学校,而不是没受过任何教育。选项C是正确的。通篇都讲的是谜一样的莎士比亚的身世。各种谣传,各种猜测。选项D点明是在莎士比亚的出生地,他很受欢迎。根据文章的第二段,受公众喜爱的应该是他的父亲。
