We know that he was baptized on April 26, 1564, so that somewhere between April 20 and April 23, four hundred years ago, was born an Englishman who possessed what was probably the greatest brain ever encased in a human skull. William Shakespeare’s work has been performed without interruption for some three hundred and fifty years everywhere in the world. Scholars and students in every land know his name and study his work as naturally as they study their holy books — the Gospels, the Torah, the Koran, and the others. For centuries clergymen have spoken Shakespeare’s words from their pulpits; lawyers have used his sentences in addressing juries; doctors, botanists, agronomists, bankers, seamen, musicians, and, of course, actors, painters, poets, editors, and novelists have used words of Shakespeare for knowledge, for pleasure, for experience, for ideas and for inspiration. It is hard to exaggerate the debt that mankind owes. Shakespeare’s greatness lies in the fact that there is nothing within the range of human thought that he did not touch. Somewhere in his writings, you will find a full-length portrait of yourself, of your father, of your mother, and indeed of every one of your descendants yet unborn. The most singular fact connected with William Shakespeare is that there is no direct mention in his works of any of his contemporaries. It was as though he knew he was writing for the audiences of 1964 as well as for the audiences of each of those three hundred and fifty years since his plays were produced. On his way to the Globe Theater he could see the high masts of the Golden Hind in which Sir Francis Drake had circumnavigated the globe. He lived in the time of the destruction of the Spanish Armada, the era in which Elizabeth I opened the door to Britain’s age of Glorlana, and he must have heard of Christendom’s great victory at Lepanto against the Turks which forever insured that Europe would be Christian. Shakespeare’s era was as momentous as our own. Galileo was born in 1564, the same year in which Shakespeare was born, and only a few years before John Calvin laid the foundation for a great new fellowship in Christianity. And yet Shakespeare in the midst of these great events, only seventy years after the discovery of America, did not mention an explorer or a general or a monarch or a philosopher. The magic of Shakespeare is that, like Socrates, he was looking for the ethical questions, not for answers. That is why there are as many biographies of a purely invented man Hamlet, as there are of Napoleon, Abraham Lincoln, or Franklin D. Roosevelt. We are not sure of many things in this life except that the past has its uses and we know from the history of human experience that certain values will endure as long as there is breath of life on his planet. Among them are the ethics of the Hebrews who wrote the Decalogue, the Psalms, and the Gospels of the Holy Bible, and the marble of the Greeks, the laws of Romans, and the works of William Shakespeare, There are other values which may last through all the ages of man — Britain’s Magna Carta, France’s Rights of Man, and America’s Constitution. We hope so, but we are not yet sure. We are sure of Shakespeare. Ben Johnson was a harsh critic of Shakespeare during his lifetime. They were contemporaries and competitors. Johnson, a great dramatist, did not like it when his play Cataline had a short mn and was replaced by Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, which had a long run. Yet when Shakespeare died, Johnson was moved to a eulogy which he called "Will Shakespeare": Triumph my Britain. Thou has one to show. To whom all scenes of Europe Homage owe. He was not of an age, but for all time. In Shakespeare’s work, you can find portraits of all EXCEPT______.

A. people of the same time period with him
B. ordinary people with different characteristics
C. your relatives and yourself
D. your unborn offspring

Directions:You are going to read a text about the state of college students’ mental health, followed by a list of examples. Choose the best example from the list A—F for each numbered subheading (41—45). There is one extra example which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.The state of college students’ mental health continues to decline. What’s the solutionIn the months before Massachusetts Institute of technology sophomore Elizabeth Shin died, she spoke with seven psychiatrists and one social worker. The psychiatrists diagnosed major depression; the therapist recommended hospitalization. Shin told a dean that she was cutting herself and let a professor know that she wanted to commit suicide. The housemaster of her dorm and two of her friends stayed up nights to watch her. But it wasn’t enough. On April 10, 2000, Elizabeth Shin locked her dorm room door and set her clothes on fire. Four days later, she was dead.41. Many colleges are running into thorny situation.Her parents, Kisuk and Cho Hyun Shin, filed suit against MIT, charging its employees with gross negligence and wrongful death. It’s an extreme case, but it illustrates a problem facing many other schools, as more and more students line up at counseling centers requiring increasingly intensive therapy or medication—or both.42. Students with substantial personality problems.The number of freshmen reporting less than average emotional health has been steadily rising since 1985, according to the newest data from an annual nationwide survey by the University of California-Los Angeles.Reasons for the decline of college students’ mental healthCollege therapists cite several reasons for the apparent deterioration in student mental health. Not only has this generation grown up in the much-maligned era of the disintegrating American family, it is also more used to therapy and so more likely to seek help. As competition to get into college gets tougher, students burn out before they even get there. And kids with severe psychological problems, who in the past wouldn’t even have made it to college, now take psychotropic drugs that help them succeed.43. The soaring number of visitors to college psychiatrists.Colleges first created counseling centers for students who needed career and academic advice, says Robert Gallagher, author of the counseling center survey and former director of the University of Pittsburghs’ services. As psychological counseling took over, the centers’ other advising functions were packed off to other parts of the campus.44. Inadequacies of college therapy services.The ballooning caseloads mean there isn’t the time or the staff to offer long-term therapy to any but the most troubled. "You can’t just load up with the first 100 students and see them regularly without having openings for new people," says Gallagher. Instead, colleges focus on getting students over immediate crises.45. What’s the solutionSome schools have tried filling the gap by getting more involved in students’ lives. The University of South Carolina, the University of Nevada-Reno, and Texas A&M offer indepth seminars on the transition to college that help students get to know one professor really well.So where do parents fit in all this In many cases, they don’t. Federal privacy laws reinforce the separation by forbidding the release of educational records to anyone but the student. So despite those hefty tuition checks, parents like the Shin often don’t get a fully picture of what their children’s lives are really like.Shin did not want her parents to know about her misery, and no one told them about her cries for help until after she had burned herself. Her father believes he and his wife could have saved her. With his lawsuit, he says, he hopes to remind schools that for each student, "There is a family."[A] But today the original centers are swamped: Davidson, for one, has seen a 52 percent increase in student visits to school therapists since the 1992—93 school year.[B] The American College Health Association reports that 76 percent of students felt "overwhelmed" last year while 22 percent were sometimes so depressed they couldn’t function. Meanwhile, in the latest National Survey of Counseling Center Directors, 85 percent of directors surveyed noted an increase in severe psychological flaws over the past five years; 30 percent reported at least one student suicide on their campus last year.[C] "If a student tells you she took five extra pills over the weekend," says Gertrude Carter, director of psychological services at Bennington College in Vermont, "it’s hard to tell if that’s a grab for attention or an actual threat."[D] New statistics show that many freshmen arrive on campus depressed and anxious and feel worse as the year progresses. At the same time, colleges must also negotiate the legal and emotional pitfalls of caring for their charges, not children but not yet fully adults.[E] In response to the task force report, MIT is putting together support teams of physicians, other health-care professionals, and experienced counselors to spend time in the dorms, socializing with the students and keeping an eye on them.[F] One Yale student suffering from anxiety during his sophomore year rarely saw the same counselor twice. "It felt like the person I was talking to wasn’t really there," he says. After five sessions, he stopped going. "I wouldn’t want to go there again," he says, "but what else is there" 43
