Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare's writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!
There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.

A. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest dramatist
B. Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer
C. Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world's greatest writer

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language . So does laughter or crying . There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings . Dogs , tigers and humans , for example , often show their teeth when they are angry . This is probably because they are born with those behavior. patterns .
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world .

What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.

When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.

????Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Apopularly-held view has it that “opportunity to learn” is the key to educational success -i.e.the more time children spend on a subject, the better they do at it. According to the recent study there seems little correlation between time spent on a subject and performance of pupils in tests. Young Austrians spend exceptionally long hours on math and science lessons; for them it pays off in higher test scores. But so do New Zealand&39;s teenagers and they do not do any better than, say Norwegians, who spend an unusually short time on lessons in both subjects. Next and of particular interest to cash-strapped governments there appears to be little evidence to support the argument, often heard from teachers&39; unions, that the main cause of educational under achievement is under funding. Low-spending countries such as South Korea and the Czech Republic are at the top. High-spenders such as America and Denmark do much worse. Obviously there are dozens of reasons other than spending why one country does well, another badly, but the success of the low–spending Czechs and Koreans does show that spending more on schools is not aprerequisite(前提) for improving standards.
Another article of faith among the teaching profession that children are bound to do better in small classes is also being undermined by educational research. The study found that France, America and Britain, where children are usually taught in classes of twenty-odd, do significant1y worse than East Asian countries where almost twice as many pupils are crammed into each class. Again, there may be social reason why some countries can cope better with large classes than others. All the same, the comparis on refutes the argument that larger is necessarily worse, Further, the study even cast some doubt over the cultural explanation for the greater success o fEast Asia: that there is some hard-to-define Asian culture, connected with parental authority and a strong social value on education, which makes children more eager to learn and easier to teach. Those who make this argument say it would of course be impossible to replicate such oriental magic in the West.
Yet the results of the study suggest that this is, to put it mildly, exaggerated. If “culture” makes English children so poor at math, then why have they done so well at science (not far behind the Japanese and South Koreans)?Any why do English pupils do well at science and badly at math, while in France it is the other way around ?A less mystical, more mundane explanation suggests it self English school: teach science well and math badly; French schools teach math better than science; East Asia schools teach both subjects well.
The passage is mainly concerned with ___.??
??A.establishing a relationship between culture and education
B.exposing educational myths
