(7) The plays reveal that whoever wrote them was very
familiar with politics, foreign languages. and classical
Greek and Latin. (8) Skeptics say Shakespeare could nol
have goUen such a good education since he was noc from
a wealthy or noble family. (9) As seriOIL~ scholars have
long pointed out, Shakespeare, as a resident of Stratfordupon-Avon, where he grew up,.would have been e~titled to
attend Ihe local ~c hool. (10) There he would have learned
reading. writing. and-the classics and would have been
exposed to many of the historical and philosophical ideas
evident in Shakespeare's works. (11) Skcptics also
- maintain that Shnkcspeare could not have authored the
plays because he never attended a uaivers.ity; serious
scholars, however. point out Ihat many dramatists of IUs
time did not allend college. (12) It seems that despite what
is said, there is little reason to doubt that Shakespeare's
plays and sonnets were really wrinen by Shakespeare.

Questions 13-23"are bac;ed on the following passage.
,
This passage is adapted from a novel about on
archaeologist OIl a dig ill the Yucatdn Peninsula.
'" dig through ancient trash," T(o ld the elegantly
groomed you ng woman who had !>etn sent by a popular
magv.ine to write a ~hon article on m y work. " J grub in
Uri' the dirt, that's what J do. Archaeologists are really no
S better,than·scavengers. sifting through the garbage that
people left behind when they died, moved on, built a new
house, a new lown. a new temple. We're go.rbage collectors
really. Js thaI cJear?" The sleek young woman's smile
faltered, but she bravely continued the interview. .
10
. Thai was in Berkeley, jusl after the publication of
my last book, but the memory of the interview lingered
with me. I pitied the reporter and the; photographer who
accompanied ber. It was so obvious that they did nOI
know what to do with me.
Jj
My name is E lizabeth Butler, my friends and students
cau me Liz.. The University of California at Berkeley lists
me as a lecturer and fieJd archaeologist, but in actuality
I am a mole, a scavenger, II garbage collector, I find it
somewhat surprising, though gratifying, that I have
20 managed to make my living in such a strange occupation.
Often 1 argue with other people,who grub in the din.
I have a reputation for asking too many embarrassing
·questions at conferences where everyone presents their
findings. I have always enjoyed asking embanass.ing
2S questions.
Sometimes, much to the dismay of my fellow
academics, f write books about my activities and the
activities of my colleagues. In general, I believe that
my fellow garbage collectors regard my work as suspect
30 because. it has become quite popular. Popularity is not the
mark of a properly rigorous academic work. I believe that
their distrust of my work reflectS a distrust of me. My work.
sl1Ulcks of speculation;.1 tell stories about the people who
inhabited the ancient ruins-and my colleagues do not eare
JS for my tales. In academic circles, I linger on the fringes
where the wannth of the fm: never reaches, an irreverent
outsider, a loner wbo prefers fieldwork to the university,
and general readershi p to academic journals.
But then, the popularizers don' llike me either. I gave
40 that reiJ(lner trouble, t know. I talked about din and
potshenis- when shc wanted 10 hear about romance and
adventure. And the photographer-a young man who
was more accustomed to fashion-plate beauties than to
weatherworn archaeologists-did not know how to picture
45 the crags and fissures of my face. He kept positioning me in
one place, then in another. In the end, he took photographs
of my hands: pointing OUI the·pauc.m on a potsherd,
holding a j ade earring, demotlStrating how 10 use. a mano

My bands tell more of my history than my face. They
are tanned and wrinkled aocl I can trace the paths of veins
along their backs. The nails are sbor1 and hard, like the
claws of some digging ani~.
1 believe that the reponer who interviewed me expected
tales of tombs, gokl, and glory. ftold her about heat,
disease, and insect bites. 1 described the timc that my jeep
broke an aXle 50 mi l e.~ from anyw here, the time that the
local municipality stole half my workers to work on a local
road. "Picture POStcards never show the bugs," Iloid her.
"Stinging ants, wasps, fleas, roaches the size of your hand.
Poslcanis never show the heal."
1 don 't think thaI I lold her what she wanted to hear,
but I enjoyed myself. l don't think that she belieVed all
my stories. I think she still believes that archaeologists
wear white pith heJrnelS and fwd treasure each day.befoce

as 1 described, why r would ever go on another dig. I

10, In the flISt paragraph (lines I- IS), the author is most
concerned with.

(B) explaining to the reader why he and Sandra were
different
(C) describing Sandra and the nature of their relationship
(D) convincing readers that Sandro had the nature of
a cal
(E) outlining the events leading to his friendship with
touch of insolence, but he had an elusive, untamed quality.
Although we were at the age when one always had !he need,
instinct, and immodesty of inflicting on onc another everything that swarms in one's head and elsewhcre, nothing had
gotten through Sandra's shell of reserve, nothing of his inner
world, which nevertheless one felt was dense and fenilenothing 5ave a few ocrasionaI. dramatically truncated hi nts.
He had the nature of a ellt with whom one can live for t!ecwles
without eyer being permittcd to penetrate its sacred ()CIt.
Wc began studying' chcmistry together, and Sandra
was surprised when I tried to explain to him some of the
ideas that at the time I was cultiyating. That the oobility
of Humankind, acquired in a hundred centuries oftria.l and
error, lay in making oul'!ielves the conqueror of matter, and
that I had enrolled in chemistry because 1 wanted to remain
falthful lo this nobili ty. That conquering matter is under- .
standing it, and uOOcl'!ilanding mailer is ncccssary to
understand the universe and ourselves; and that therefore
the periodic tabI~ of clements, which just during those weeks
we were laboriously \earning to unravel, was poetry, loftier
and morn solemn than all the poeoy we had swallowed down
in high school. That if one looked for the bridge, the missing
link between lhe world of words and the world of things,
one did not have to look far: it was there, in our textbook,
in our smoke-rUled labs, and in our (UIUJe trade.
Sandra listened to me wi th. ironic&! atlention, always
ready to deflate me with a couple of civil and terse words
when I trespassed into rheloric. He took an interest in my
education and made it "lea( to me that it had gaps. ! might

well: a dog barking in the heat of hunting. a lntin moving
in the distance, a wor\c.er calling to another across the road
or field. A Russian novelist once said thaI Southern writers
wrote well about the earth and the sun; in their works, you
could see, bener than if you were actually there, the red
dust in Gcorgia or the .black mud of Mississippi.
I read all the Southern wri ters 1 could find in the
Vallcjo libnuy; then I began 10 read any wri ter who wrote
about nature or about people who worked the land. So
I discovered John Steinbeck and his Salinas Valley; and
Willa Cather and her Nebraska-anyone who would say
something about dirt and ltees, clear s~am s, and open sky.
Eventually, I diSC(lVered the great European writers.
My favori te at this time was the Frenchman Guy de
Maupassant-because he wrote so beautifully abOut
the young, and besides rnat he told good stories, used the
simplest language, and most times made the stories quite
short. So for a long lime it was de Maupassant. Then I must
have read somewhere that the Russian Anton Chekhov
was as good as or better than de Maupassant, SO I went
to Chekhov. From Otekhov to Tolstoy, and so on. The
ninetcentb,ccnlury Russian wri ters became my favori tes,
and to this day, as a group of writers of anyone country,
they still are. I felt thai they wrote trul y about Ihe common
people. truer chan any other group of writers of OIly other
country. Their ¢8raCten were 001 carica tures or clowns.
They did not make fun of chern. Their cbnrnclen were
pcoplo---tbey were good, they were bad. They could be .
as brutal as anyooe, they could be as kind. The American
writers in general. the Southern writers in particular, never
saw the common people, especially tbose who were Black,
in this way; Black people were either caricatures or they
we re problems. They needed 10 be Sllved, or they were
saviol'S. But they were very seldom what the average being
was. There were exccptions, of course, but I'm talking
about a total body of writers, the conscience of a people.

Though I found ihe nineteCnth-centuty Russian writers
50 . superior, they, too, could not give me the satisfaction that
I was looking for. Their four- and fi ve-syllable name.~
were foreign to me. Their gI'Celings were not the same as
greetings were al bome. Their religious worshi p was not the
same. I had eatcn steamed cabbage, boiled cab\nJge, but nOI
55 cabbage snup. 1be RUssian steppes sounded interesting, but
they were not the swamps of Louisiana. So even those who
I thought were nearest 10 the way I felt still were POI dose
enough.
I wanted to srocllthat Louisiana earth , feel that

Passage 1
50
Celebrity is by now old news, but it says a great deal
about modem America that no society has ever had as
many celebrities as ours or has ~vercd them as intensely.
Unc No! only are cC,lebrities the protagonists of our news, the
$j
s subjects ofour daily discourse. and the repositories of OU f
values, but they have also embedded themselves $0 deeply
in our consciousness that many individuals profess feelin g

their own primary n:lationships: witness the fervenl public
interest in the life of Britain'S Princess Diana. or the fans
who told television interviewers that her wedding was
the happiest day of thcir lives. As Diana demonstroted,
celebrity is the modem state of grace-the condition in
the life movie 10 which nearly everyone aspires. Once we
sat in movie theaters dreaming (If stardom. Now we live
in a movie dreaming of celebrity.
Yel this dreaming is not nearly as passive as it may
sound. While the general public is an audience for the life
movie. it is also an active participant in it. An ever-giowing
segment of the American economy is now devoted 10
designing, building, and then dressing the sets in which
we livc, work, shop, and play; to creating our costumcs;
to supplying our props-all 50 that we can appropriate
the lrappings of celebrity. if nOI the aCtuality of it, for
the life movie. We even have I.:elebrilics- for example,
lifestyle adviser Martha Stewart-woo arc essentially
drama coaches in the life movic, instruCting us in how
10 make our own lives more closely approx.imate the
movie in our mind's eye.
Of course, not everyone is mesmerized. Many have
deplored the effecL~ of celcbrity on America, and there is
certainly much to deplore. While an entcnainment-driven,
celcbrity-oriented socjety is nol necessarily one that
destroys all mornl vruue, as somc would have it. it is one
in which thc standard of value is whether something can
grab and then hold the public's altentioo. Tt is a socie[)'
in which those things thai do nol conform-scrious
literature. serious political debllte, serious ideas, serious
anything-are more likely to be marginalized than evcr
before. It is a society in which individuals have learned to
prize social skills that pennit them, like actors, to assume
whatever role the occasion demand~ and to "perfonn" thcir
lives rather than JUSt live them. 1be resull is that Homo
sapiell$ is rapidly becoming Homo scaelZicus-man the
entenainet.

Edmund Wilson (1895.1972), the famou s literary critic,
had a list of everything he wouldn' t do: make statcmenu .
for publici[)' purposes, give interviews. autograph books for
strangers, supply personal information about himself, and
so on. One of the things I personally find most impressive .
abou t his list is that everything Wilson clearly states he will
not do, I have now done, and mOre than once, and, like
the young person in Ihe ice·cream commercial sitting
on the couch with an empty canon. am Jikcly to do again
and agai n.
.
I lell mysclf that I do these various things to acquire
morc readers. After all, one of Ihe reasons I write, apart
from pleasure in working oul the aesthctic problems and
mora1 questions presented by my subjects and in my
stories, is to find the best readers. But 1 have now come
to think that writing away quietly isn't sufficient in a .
culture dominated by the boisterous spirit of celebri[)'. ,
In an increasingly noisy cultural scene, with many voices
competing for attention, one feels-perhaps incorrectly
but nonethelcss insislentl>:-thc need 10 make one's own
small stir, however palhetic. So, on occasion, I have gone
about tooting my own liltle paper hom, doing book tours,
submitting to Ihe comically pompous self· importance of
interviews, and doing so many of the other things that
Edmund Wilson didn 't think twice about refusing to do'.'
"You're slightly famous, aren't you, Grandpa'!" my
granddaughter once said to me. "I am slightly farnmis.
Annabelle," I replied, "except no one quit~ knows who I
am." This hasn 't changed much over tile years. The only
. large, lumpy kind of big. time celebrity IIvailable, outside
movie celebrity. is 10 De had through appearing on
television. I had the merest inkling of this famo when I was
walking along the Streel one sunny morning, tand a suanger
pointed a long index finger at me, hesitated, and finally,
the shock of recognition lighting up his face, yelled, 'TIl"
"Every time ' think I'm famous," the composer '
Virgil Thomson said, '" have only to go out into !.he
world." So ought it probably to remain for writers,
musicians, and visual artists who prefer to consider
themselves serious. The best dcfiaition of ee]ehrity I've
yet come across holds that you are celebruted, indeed
famous, only when a derwlged person imagines he is you.
It's especially pleasing that the penetrating and prolific
author of this remark happens to go by the name of
Anonymous.
