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 incident, 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!
