Who is the greatest English writer? The person should be William Shakespeare (莎士比亚). His popular expressions like “to be or not to be, that is a question” are spread everywhere在他的一生中，他写了大量的作品。
Willam Shakespeare was born in a small town in England in 1564. He was educated at the King’s New School, a free grammar school that was located in Stratford. There he studied the basic Latin text and grammar. 据说在学校，比起数学他更喜欢学习语言。 Later, he moved to London and began to work as a writer. By 1594, he had become an important writer in London.
Whether comedies or tragedies (悲剧), Shakespeare’s plays always touch people’s hearts. His comedies make a joke on human weaknesses and always have happy endings. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, fairies (仙子). play magical tricks on people who get lost in the woods. His tragedies, however, can be very dark. Macbeth tells the story about a man who becomes a king by killing a lot of people.
Of course, Shakespeare wrote his plays over 400 years ago. His English is very different from that of today. But it doesn’t influence his popularity. His plays which have been translated into other languages are also popular in the world.
William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616. He was 52 years old at the time of his death. But Shakespeare truly has a great influence on English and even many other languages.

In the morning this Wednesday, a red bronze horse-head statue (铜像) was donated back by Macao-based tycoon and collector Stanley Ho Hung-sun and handed over to the National Cultural Heritage Administration in Beijing (北京文化遗产管理处)China on November 13th ,2019.
These animal-head taps took turns to spray(喷) water during different hours within a day, at noon, a salvo(同时喷水) would happen.
The invading Anglo-French Alliance Forces(英法联军) rampaged through the Old Summer Palace and set it on fire in 1860. Millions of national treasures, including the 12 animal-head statues, were taken abroad in the war.
Ho spent HK$ 69.1 million ($8.8 million) to buy the statue in September 2007, and publicly exhibited it in Hong Kong and Macao promoting people’s consciousness (意识) of protecting cultural relics.
Ho decided to donate it back to the mainland on 20th anniversary of Macao’s return to China, after he contacted the National Cultural Heritage Administration, which said the statue will be given back to the Yuanmingyuan administration.
The horse-head statue is the seventh that has returned to Beijing among the 12 articles from the Old Summer Palace fountain, the rest of which are hoped to be returned in future.

A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old. The phrase, "The early bird catches the worm, "may be true. It means people who wake up early get more done than people who don’t. 1.. He said," Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."
Scientists have found that people who go to bed before 11 p.m. may do better in life than people who sleep around 2:30 a.m., which is also believed by a group of researchers. 2.. Their research showed that people who slept and got up early(early birds)had an average (平均) sleep over people who slept and woke up late at night (owls).There were differences in the brain function (功能) of early birds and night owls.
The scientists tested 38 people in their research. These persons answered questions about their sleeping habits and when they felt tired during the day. 3.. One is called early bird, the other is night owl depending on their answers.
All of the people had tests on their brains and did different tests throughout the day. The early birds said they felt less sleepy and were able to do the test more quickly than the night owls. 4.. They said, night owls go to sleep late, but during school time, they have to get up earlier, and they easily get tired in class. They always have to fight against their bad habits and natural rhythms (节奏).”
