Questions 16~20
Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one
industry—William Shakespeare—but there are two distinctly separate and
increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC),
which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial
Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the
tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage,
Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights. The worthy residents of Stratford
doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the
RSC’s actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness.
It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their
living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.
A. (A) the townsfolk deny the RSC’s contribution to the town’s revenue B. (B) the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage C. (C) the two branches of the RSC are not on good term’s D. (D) the townsfolk earn little from tourism
