Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.
There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used 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.

brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate (take part in). It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your cars but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra (music band) even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior. may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.
The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.
1、Few people are able to listen to familiar music without ______.
A、moving some part of their body
B、stopping what they arc doing to listen
C、directing the orchestra playing it
D、wishing that they could conduct music properly

A、hear the music
B、enjoy the music fully
C、appreciate the music completely
D、understand the music
3、The best title for this selection is______.
A、An Ear for Music
B、Music Appreciation
C、How Muscles Participate in Menial Acts
D、A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process
4、The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of ______.
A、"feeling" the music
B、participating in the performance
C、deriving enjoyment from the music
D、all of the above
5、Some psychologists maintain that thinking is ______.
A、not a mental process
B、more of a physical process than a mental action
C、a process that involves our entire bodies
D、a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain

MY VOLUNTEERING EXPERIENCE
My volunteer work helps me grow up. It has made me more aware of the difficulties other people go through and made me appreciate the simple things we have in life. It enables me, as an adult, to become more confident and to realize the difference I can make.
I now have new career aspirations and the confidence to take forward these new ideas, since I started mentoring at the Open University and gained experience of working with young students. I'll go on to do a teaching assistant course and looking to go into volunteering teaching or youth work in the future.
My research project will be to build a spatial web application. It was inspired by the volunteering I do for another not-for-profit organization.
My volunteering at an animal shelter is neither connected to my studies nor to my career interests. I do it purely for pleasure, satisfaction and the feeling that I can help somebody. It's made me a happier person, and I wouldn't have got this far at university without it.
