William Shakespeare
威廉·莎士比亚（William Shakespeare，1564－1616）是英国杰出的戏剧家和诗人，他在欧洲文学史上占有特殊的地位，1564年出生在英国中部艾汶河上斯特拉福镇一个富商家庭。少年时代，莎士比亚曾在当地的“文法学校”学习过古典文。”他虽受过良好的基本教育，但是未上过大学。在他13岁的时候，由于家道中落，他中途辍学，走上了独立谋生的道路。1582年，18岁的莎士比亚娶了比自己大8岁的安妮·赫索威。婚后他们生有三个孩子。
三年后，莎士比亚只身离开家乡来到伦敦，在剧场门口给人看马匹，在剧场担任临时演员。大约1592年，莎士比亚开始戏剧创作，名声大噪。1599年公司建立了“环球剧院”，他还曾为伦敦环球剧场的股东之一。 大约在1612年，莎士比亚完成了38个剧本、两首长诗和154首十四行诗的写作，遂离开伦敦，回到故乡斯特拉福。1616年4月23日，莎士比亚病逝，享年52岁。1995年，联合国教科文组织将4月23日定为“世界读书日”。
他的作品反映了当时的社会现实，表达了人文主义的社会政治理想。他的大部分作品都已被译成多种文字，其剧作也在许多国家上演。代表作品有：《罗密欧与朱丽叶》；四大悲剧《哈姆雷特》、《奥赛罗》、《李尔王》、《麦克白》等。

【辨析】take part in、 join 与 join in
参加 take part in 参加或参与会议、游行、战争等群众性的活动
join 参加某组织或团体，并成为其中一员
join in 参加竞赛、游戏等活动，后面一般接名词或动词-ing形式
【图解助记】
take part in join join in
Mike, why don’t you _____ us to _____ the speech contest yesterday
A. join； join B. take part in； take part in
C. take part in； join D. join； take part in
解析 考查近义词辨析。join 指参加活动时，后加介词in；join后可直接跟人或组织；take part in 指参加大型活动，并在活动中起积极作用。句意：“迈克，你昨天为什么不加入我们一起参加演讲比赛呢？”后加人作宾语用join；排除B、C；join不能直接加游戏、活动等，排除A。故选D。
