Question

6．A poet is in his words
       The writings of William Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britian．His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university．
       Still，in British schools，____________ to study the poet，and when something is made compulsory，usually the result is boredom，resentment or both．Shakespeare，Chareles Dickens，Jane Austen-for many of the young，reading them can seem like being forced to eat medicine，especially when people are at an age when they are beginning to discover themselves and wanting to claim their independence．
       This was my experience of the classics at school．But when I reached my late teenage years，I had a change of heart．Like every other young person since the dawn of time，the world confused me．I wanted answers，so I turned to books to find them．
       I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught the subject in universities in Britain and China．I have never regretted it．There is something in literature that people want，even if they don't read books．
       You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works，the recent film version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice being a case in point．These popular adaptations may help increase people's interest in the classic．
       Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare's actual play．If that is the case then I welcome the trend．But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing．Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language．Reading someone else's rewriting of his work is like peeling （剝皮） a banana，throwing away the fruit，and eating the skin．Take on the original．It really is worth the effort．
                                                                             
76．Find a sentence from the text which can explain the title．Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language
77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words to complete the sentence．（within 5 words）it is compulsory/required
78．Why are the adaptations of great works popular？They may help increase people's interest in the classic．
79．Do you think it necessary to read the original？Why？（within 30 words）Yes，it is．Reading the original，we can really grasp the spirits of his works and can enjoy its language．
80．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese．讀他（莎士比亞）作品的改寫本就如同將香蕉剝皮后，棄其肉而食其皮．．

76．Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language．細節(jié)題．A poet is in his words句意是：詩人在他的話語里．詩人是莎士比亞，語言就是他語言運用的偉大．
77．it is compulsory/required  細節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章第 二段when something is made compulsory，usually the result is boredom，resentment or both． 可知當某件事成為必須的，通常結果是乏味，不滿的．因此在英國的學校里學習詩歌是必修課程．
78．They may help increase people's interest in the classic．細節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二 段These popular adaptations may help increase people's interest in the classic．
 可知偉大作品的改編受歡迎的原因是它可以幫助人們提高對古典作品的興趣．
