Moreover, as we grow older and the range（范围） of our experience widens, so his range grows, too. He is always giving us back our own, so that we can understand his plays more and ourselves better. The reward of the study of literature is that we are constantly deepening our own experience and understanding, and of all English literature the study of Shakespeare is the most valuable. It gives us the power of separating ourselves from ourselves and seeing our own lives as part of universal life, as players playing out our own seven acts on the universal stage, and at the same time enjoying the experience of the play as players on the stage and as critics（批评家） in the audience.5This passage mainly treats _.Athe reward of literature Bthe value of the study of ShakespeareChow Shakespeare makes us able to be both actors and criticsDShakespeares help in getting us to see ourselves as part of universal life6The writer says that as we grow older,_.AShakespeare adds valuable experiences to our ownBShakespeares plays become richer for usCShakespeare reminds us of our experienceDwe are able to respond（反应）to a greater number of Shakespeares plays7What do you think the phrase “giving back” mean in this sentence?Apaying back Bgiving awayCmaking sb. return to his/her own Dgetting sb. to return to literature8The writers purpose in writing this passage is to _.Ashow how Shakespeare influences（影响） our livesBinterest us in the study of ShakespeareCget us to respect ShakespeareDshow how Shakespeare was different from other play-writers5
