At twenty-eight, he moved to London and joined a theatre company which opened the Globe Theatre in 1599.He became an actor, and he also wrote plays. He usually acted in his own plays.

Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.
China has banned(禁止)free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets,and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1, 2008. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin(超薄)plastic bags has also been banned.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day,and they have caused pollution of the environment (环境污染). The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are allowed to bring their own bags for shopping.
What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags(布袋),and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect(保护)the environment.
4. People in China have to_______ now.
A. throw plastic bags here and there B. collect plastic bags in the street
C. pay for using plastic bags at shops and supermarkets X
D. use free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets
5. China made this rule because plastic bags were bad for the_______.
A. environment B. litter C. shops D. supermarkets
6. The Chinese people are allowed to bring _______for shopping.
A. no bags B. free plastic bags
C. their own bags D. super-thin plastic bags
7. Some students in Chongqing _______.
A. ask their parents to make cloth bags B. make cloth bags themselves
C. pick up plastic bags everywhere D. buy cloth bags for their parents

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of the cars, driving trucks,building roads,or filling car with gas. Americans won’t live without cars!
Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car. However,some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of car engine (发动机)by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by car, we’ll have to make some changes. Americans,for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.
But this change doesn’t come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.
8.Some large car factories in the US are trying to build a new kind of car which _______.
A. is clean in itself B. is used to clean streets
C. is easier to make D. does not pollute the air
9.If the number of cars cuts down, the most serious problem to American workers is to _______.
A. have no work to do B. improve their environment
C. go to work by bike D .make their factories richer
10.The writer wants to tell us that_______ .
A. riding a bike is the only way out B. the number of cars must be cut down
C. people wouldn’t live without cars
D. cars bring us not only a better life but also serious problems
11.Which fact does the passage provide?
A. About one sixth of American workers are working in car factories.
B. The best way to get rid of air pollution is to change the car engine by something else.
C. It isn’t easy to change the way of life in the US.
D. In the US bikes will surely take the place of cars in the future.
