Questions:
1. Why do we know so little about the life of William Shakespeare when we know
comparatively so much about the lives of his less accomplished peers? Our lack of
knowledge about Shakespeare has inspired countless conspiracy theories. The actual writing
of Shakespeare’s works has been attributed to others from contemporary playwrights
Christopher Marlowe and Ben Johnson to the brilliant Renaissance scientist and philosopher
Francis Bacon. Shakespeare was an immensely successful dramatist as well as a prosperous
property owner. Circumspect, and only too aware of the government-inspired branding of
Johnson, its torture of Thomas Kyd, and its murder of Marlowe, Shakespeare kept himself
nearly anonymous. Wary to the end, Shakespeare led a life virtually without memorable
incidents, as far as we can tell.
a. Circumspect and wary are synonyms. In the context of the passage, what do they
mean?
b. Write down two words that start with spect-:
c. How do the roots circum- and spect- relate to the definition of circumspect?

2. The world around us is filled with sound. There are loud sounds and soft sounds. There are
pleasant sounds and unpleasant sounds. At this very moment, you are surrounded by sound.
Where does sound come from? How does it get to your ears? Why are there different kinds of
sound? The study of these questions about sound is called acoustics. Imagine a cymbal hit
with a drumstick. The cymbal shakes rapidly, and this vibration causes the tiny particles in
the air around it to vibrate. These vibrating air particles, called molecules, bump into the air
particles next to them and make them vibrate. This spreading vibration moves outward in
every direction from the cymbal in waves. When a small object is made to vibrate, the sound
waves move up and down very quickly. This produces a high-pitched sound, like a high note
in a song. When a large object is made to vibrate, the sound waves move up and down more
slowly. This produces a low-pitched sound, like a low note in a song. Hitting a small cymbal
makes a more high-pitched sound than hitting a large cymbal.
a. Write the context clues that give a hint to the meaning of each of acoustics word!
 b. Write the context clues that give a hint to the meaning of each of vibration word!
c. Write the context clues that give a hint to the meaning of each of high pitched word!

brought Christianity to the Irish people. According to tradition, St Patrick, Whose father was
a wealthy man, was actually born in England. At the age of 16, he was kidnapped by pirates
and sold as a slave. Some years later, he escaped to France, Whom he lived for many years
and became a priest. At the age of 60, that he returned to Ireland, he built his first church. On
