Born in 1564 in Stratford, Shakespeare probably attended the Stratford grammar school, where he received a classical education under its excellent schoolmaster. The years from the mid-1580s to about 1592 are called “the lost years” in Shakespeare’s life because nothing is known of him. By 1592, at any rate, he was a rising young playwright in London. This was an exciting period in the English theatre mainly because of a group known as the University Wits, which included Marlowe, Nashe and others. These brilliant young men turned out sophisticated plays for the aristocracy and sensational plays for the general public.

Elephants have to keep in touch across large distances. Even when they are out of hearing range of one another, in forests or the great plains of East Africa, they are often spotted moving in the same direction. Sometimes they seem to stand still in their tracks and move their feet up and down, which leads some scientists to believe they have sensitive cells in their feet. Such cells would enable them to pick up low frequency vibrations from the ground, waves that travel distances of up to 16 km.
58. We understand from the passage that, when elephants are a good distance apart, they ----.
become nervous and stamp their fee
feel very insecure
can still communicate with each other
try many different ways of making contact with each othe

Such cells would enable them to pick up low frequency vibrations from the ground, waves that travel distances of up to 16 km.
59. As it is clear from the passage, some scientists are of the opinion that ----.
the sensitive cells in the feet of elephants serve a wide variety of functions
the power of elephants to communicate is very weak
some elephants have adapted themselves well to the specific environmental conditions of East Africa
it is not natural for elephants to move in the same direction
elephants have cells in their feet that are sensitive to vibrations

When George Orwell was asked by a journalist about his career as a writer, he gave the following account of himself: “From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I grew up I should be a writer.

I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeable habits which made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons; ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued.”

Antarctese is the peculiar language used by the scientists and explorers of the Antarctic. Where did Antarctese come from? Words have drifted in from the languages of explorers of many nations.
