The English theatreThe most important period in the history of the English theatre was the reign (王朝)of Queen Elizabeth I when William Shake spear was alive, Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616. He was the only author of the period hat people seem to know about, although students of literature(文学)and drama(剧) know about others as well—writers like Kyd and Marlowe, Shakespeare’s plays were as popular then as they are now, and the theatre was probably the most popular form of entertainment available at that time.
In 1642, however, the theatres were closed because Oliver Gromwell who was ruling England at that time, thought theatres were immoral(不正经) places. The theatre was made legal(合法)—that is to say they were allowed to open again—when CharlesⅡ became King after he had been forced to live on the Continent while gromwell was in Power.
The only other time that London theatres closed was for a brief period during the Second World War because of the danger of bombing.

In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.
Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100～150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.
Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.
