For years scholars have debated what inspired William Shakespeare’s writings. Now, with the help
of software typically used by professors to (10) cheating students, two writers have discovered an
unpublished (11) they believe the Bard of Avon consulted to write “King Lear,” “Macbeth,”
“Richard III,” “Henry V” and seven other plays.
The findings were made by Dennis McCarthy and June Schlueter, who describe them in a book
published this month by the academic press D.S. Brewer and the British Library. The authors are not

公
suggesting that Shakespeare (12) but rather that he read and was inspired by a manuscript titled
“A Brief Discourse of Rebellion and Rebels,” written in the late 1500s by George North, a minor figure
in the court of Queen Elizabeth.
In reviewing the book before it was published, David Bevington, professor (13) in the
humanities at the University of Chicago and editor of “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
(7th Edition),” called it “a revelation” for the sheer number of (14) with the plays. McCarthy used
decidedly modern techniques to (15) his evidence, employing WCopyfind, an open-source
plagiarism software, which picked out common words and phrases in the manuscript and the plays.
In the dedication to his manuscript, (16) , North urges those who might see themselves as ugly
to strive to be inwardly beautiful, to defy nature. He uses a (17) of words to make the argument,

告
including “proportion,” “glass,” “feature,” “fair,” “deformed,” “world,” “shadow” and “nature.” In the
opening soliloquy of Richard III (“Now is the winter of our discontent ...”) the hunchbacked tyrant uses
the same words in virtually the same order to come to the opposite conclusion: that since he is outwardly
ugly, he will act the villain he appears to be.
In 1576, North was living at Kirtling Hall near Cambridge, England, the estate of Baron Roger
North. It was here, McCarthy says, (18) he wrote his manuscript. The manuscript is a (19)
against rebels, arguing that all rebellions against a monarch are unjust and doomed to fail. While
Shakespeare had a more ambiguous position on rebellion, McCarthy said he clearly mined North’s
treatise for themes and characters.

Brain conditions such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder have long been known to have
an inherited component. (20)D Now, some of the first findings from the most comprehensive
genomic analysis of the human brain ever undertaken are shedding light on the roots of these disorders.

 (21)A Researchers have also uncovered previously unidentified networks of genes and the buried
elements, which might contribute to the chances of developing such disorders. “We’re not claiming in
the remotest way to have figured out the underlying mechanism of these diseases, or how you would go
about designing drugs, but we are highlighting genes, pathways and also cell types that are associated
with these diseases,” says Mark Gerstein, a molecular biophysicist at Yale University in New Haven,
Connecticut. (22)E Unlike disorders caused by mutations in a single gene — such as cystic fibrosis
or some types of muscular dystrophy — neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia involve
hundreds of genes that interact with environmental factors. (23)B Over the past decade, scientists

公
have identified numerous genetic variants that are associated with such disorders. But in many cases, it is
not clear how the sequence changes alter gene function — if at all. “Typically, when we do a genetic
study, we might find 50 associated genetic variants all clustered in the same region of the genome, and
maybe only one of them is directly influencing the risk of disease,” says Michael O’Donovan, a
psychiatric geneticist at Cardiff University, UK. Further complicating matters, some of these variants fall
in regions of DNA that do not code for proteins. (24)C But buried within them are the codes for
elements that regulate gene expression, such as transcription factors and microRNAs, which can also
have a powerful influence on a person’s disease risk.
(A) Among the discoveries are elements buried in the genome’s ‘dark matter’ that seem to regulate gene
expression.

告
(B) Each gene contributes only a small amount to the overall disease risk.
(C) Until the past few years, scientists presumed these areas to be wastelands.
(D) Pinpointing how gene variants contribute to disease, however, has been a major challenge.
(E) He was involved in a number of the project’s studies, selection of which were published this week
in Science.

All major theories of child psychology state that children undergo a major change between the ages
of five and seven. In classical learning theory, this is a time when the simplest forms of learning give
way to learning that involves more complex mental processes. According to psychologist Jean Piaget,

用
the period from five to seven years old is a transition to operational thought, when children are able to
move beyond using only their senses toward using a new set of rational-thinking skills. Because several
cognitive changes occur in children between ages five and seven, this period is called the five-seven
shift. The shift is biological in nature and a basically adult pattern. The five-seven shift involves many
physical changes, such as the loss of “baby teeth” and an increase in the rates of height acquired and
weight gained.
By the time they are five years old, children can understand and use symbols. They have developed
the ability to use words, gestures, and pictures to stand for “real-life” objects, and they are skilled in
deploying various symbol systems, such as language or drawing. However, a five-year-old child is able
to focus attention on only one quality or an object at a time, such as the object’s size or shape. The use of
symbolization continues to evolve, reaching a peak around the age of seven or eight, when children
become capable of concrete operations. When this happens, they can solve problems by using rational
thought to make generalizations from their own experience.

Despite the often-quoted statistic that women in the U.S. make 80 cents for every dollar earned by
men, the actual figure varies depending on a woman’s race, geographic location and industry. Women of
color, for example, have an even larger pay gap than white women. And women in certain fields, such as
financial services, are further from pay parity than their peers in other professions.
Medicine has traditionally been one of those imbalanced fields — and the latest physician
compensation report from Medscape, a medical news site for healthcare professionals, finds that the

用
situation is getting worse for many doctors. According to Medscape’s 2019 report, which polled about
20,000 U.S. doctors in 30 specialties, pay for physicians has risen by about 20% for both primary care
physicians and specialists since 2015. But increases have not been equal for male and female doctors.
In 2018, male primary care physicians earned about 18% more than their female colleagues,
according to the report. By 2019, that gulf had widened to 25% — meaning the average male doctor
made $258,000 per year, while the average female physician earned $207,000. The pay gap among
specialists was larger to begin with, but it narrowed slightly, from 36% in 2018 to 33% in 2019. The
average male specialist’s salary is now $372,000, compared to $280,000 for female specialists.
A racial pay gap also persists in medicine, the report finds. Average income for a white doctor is
$319,000, compared to $303,000 for Hispanic and Latino doctors, $300,000 for Asian doctors and
$281,000 for black doctors.
In total, male doctors spend about 9% more time with patients each week than female doctors,
according to the report, while women spend a bit more time on paperwork and administrative tasks.

(That’s important, since a physician’s salary often depends at least partly on how many patients they
see.) Women also tend to go into primary care or lower-paying specialties, while men often gravitate
toward high-paying areas such as orthopedics, plastic surgery and cardiology.
Those disparities explain some of the pay gap, the researchers write, but other factors are likely at
play. Dr. Maryam Asgari, an associate professor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School, co-wrote a
recent viewpoint article in JAMA about how to close the physician pay gap. (She was not involved with
the Medscape report.)
“It’s not just about, are you given the same contract? It’s about, are you given the same support?”

公
says Asgari, who says that she has faced situations where male colleagues were given better operating
schedules that allowed them to see more patients, and therefore generate more revenue and income. “The
problem is much more pervasive than people really understand. There’s a lot of implicit bias that’s at
play. Sometimes implicit bias and male versus female styles can influence perception of productivity.”
To make significant progress, institutions will have to be transparent not only about pay, but also
about how they’re assessing and working toward salary equity, Asgari says. “Figuring out how different
institutions are gaining some transparency around the process, and figuring out what best practices are,
will get us a long way toward rolling out more salary equity,” she says.
